Just wondering, did this ofc acc actually look into what was happening at the airport before posting this statement?
From what I’ve seen, most people taking photos at the airport were simply in public areas, following airport rules, not entering restricted zones, not disrupting other passengers, and not interacting with the artist. Some fans even intentionally keep several meters away from the artist to avoid making them uncomfortable.
So if someone is simply taking photos in a public area at an airport, is it really fair to immediately label that as “sasaeng behavior”? That feels like a pretty serious accusation to make without understanding the actual situation.
What’s even more interesting is that some of the same people who constantly talk about “boundaries” have, at other several events, gone into the artist’s activity area for close-up photos or used privileges from their official fan status to do things that ordinary fans simply cannot do. If we’re going to talk about boundaries, shouldn’t the same standards apply to everyone?
Also, regarding the term “destination fans” that was mentioned, I’m genuinely curious what exactly that means. If an artist flies back to Thailand from overseas, isn’t Thailand also their destination? By that logic, would local Thai fans who take photos in public areas at the airport also be considered “destination fans”?
Many fans show up because they genuinely care about and support the artists. Most are far more concerned about not causing harm or discomfort than people seem willing to acknowledge.
Before labeling others, perhaps it’s worth asking whether the same standards are being applied to everyone — including ofc members. Fanbases can encourage respectful behavior, but they do not get to decide who is and isn’t allowed to support an artist in public spaces.
Otherwise, it becomes difficult to see this as a discussion about boundaries, and easier to see it as a discussion about who gets to decide the rules for everyone else.
