BTS 8th member ✔️

Incheon Airport, May 08, 2017

[This Chapter does affect the Plotline]

"Darling! Darling! What happened to your lip?!" An interviewer shouted as more yells started to grow.

"Uh..." Darling paused, she sat three chairs of the end of one side of the table, the rest of the boys watching her intently, Yoongi sat next to her as his hand softly rubbed her knee and lower thigh in comfort.

"On May 2 my mother called me due to a family emergency, so I has to leave and get on the next flight to Chicago. A relative of mine is severely ill and I've been there by their side since May 7, I left that day and arrived at Incheon airport today a few hours ago. Fans seemed to have figured out my time of arrival and decided to bombard not only myself, but my manager as well. Security was missing and my manager decided to go on without it." She started, everyone in the audience started writing or recording every word she was describing.

"As I made my way through the mob, the fans got more aggressive and blocked me from the exit, they pushed me, attempted to trip me, as you can see on not only my lip, but my face as well that I have been scratched multiple times. I had to take extreme and necessary measures for my safety and aggressively push past these fans. Phones and cameras were being shoved in my face and flashes blinded me, I was helpless, but I continues on. I know my actions are unprofessional, but I honestly... 100% believed my safety was on a thin line and diminishing, I had to do what I had to do to make it out of that airport in at least one piece." She continued.

"I apologize for my rude actions, my intentions were not to hurt anyone, but I throughly believed my physical and mental well being were on the line and if I didn't push through that crowd I wouldn't be sitting here. The cut on my lip was a fan scratching me harshly." She answered.

"Did fans know of your arrival?" An interviewer asked as she stood up.

"As far as I know... no, they must have figured it out on their own." I told her, she nodded and sat down whilst writing it down.

"Are you alright?" Another interview asked.

"I'm still shaken up, but I can manage." I said as they nodded.

"Would the rest of the boys be able to make a statement on this?" An interviewer asked.

"As this time, none of us will be issuing a statement." Namjoon said into the mic.

The questions were then directed to the another topic as Darling's attention was stuck on the table as she tried to compose her self.

I can't believe this happened to her, coming back to Korea knowing you have a severely sick relative all the way across the world and you're greeted by mobs of rude and disrespectful fans? Disappointed, i'm honestly so disgusted. #RespectForDarling

@BTSFanAccount4
Honestly whoever scratches Darling or put harm to her in anyway aren't considered ARMY. I swear if I find out all ot8 get harmed by mobs of fansnext time they are at any airport i'm throwing hands at ALL of you. #RespectForDarling

@BTSFanAccount5
Darling shouldn't apologize, she did it for her protection. And whoever disagrees with me can unfollow me because I can't have negativity on my account. #RespectForDarling

@BTSFanAccount6
The fact that Darling is hurt about hurting fans really shows how she cares for us, and all you insensitive people say she has no heart or is rude is just disgusting. She wants what's best for us, the fact she believes her actions that kept her SEMI SAFE was unprofessional of her, shows her true nature. Can't believe these people are saying she should leave BTS because she pushed fans that were IN HER WAY. This is just sad #RespectForDarling

@BTS_twt
We don't want to be mean or hurtful to our ARMY, but the actions of the fans that greeted Darling at the airport were rude, hurtful, insensitive, and extremely unnecessary. We understand that you may not have known why Darling was alone, but it doesn't give any of you the right to harm her in anyway.

After the news of our fellow member Darling being injuries at the arrival at Incheon Airport, Big Hit has all agreed to further improve security for all members, no matter alone or with all of them, security will be heavily used and heavily strict. And if completely necessary, security will become aggressive if fans tend to become harmful. #RespectForDarling
