SM's New Girl Group H2H Faces Backlash Over Excessive Security Measures at Airport

SM Entertainment's rookie girl group, H2H, is once again under fire for their excessive security measures.

On the 20th, a video filmed on the 18th at the entrance of Incheon International Airport featuring H2H went viral online. In the video, security personnel are seen forming a circle by holding hands and maintaining this formation while moving, reminiscent of a traditional Korean circle dance. The H2H members walked inside this circle as they entered the airport.

This security measure reportedly caused inconvenience to other airport users, leading to criticism. Some netizens commented, "Are they playing a circle dance?", "Do they own the airport?", and "I don't understand why this is necessary." However, fans defended the group, stating, "It's better than the members getting hurt."

This is not the first time H2H has faced criticism for their security practices. In March of last year, they were involved in a controversy at Gimpo International Airport for allegedly blocking the passage of regular passengers while moving with security. In June of the same year, there were allegations that a security guard threatened a fan at the airport.
