Fans of Park Bo Gum have been left enraged after he was recently seen getting almost harassed by some audience members at a fan event.
Park Bo Gum | @bogummy/InstagramPark, who is currently on his Be With You fan meeting tour, performed in Monterrey, Mexico, on September 17 (local time).
During a segment of the event, the actor was seen walking through the audience, greeting fans in person while singing live. Suddenly, a group of people in the audience grabbed him aggressively, holding him by the waist. His security staff immediately sprang into action, freeing him. Park, though visibly taken aback, handled the situation while smiling.
He has traveled to 10 countries in Asia, and in every single one, no one has been brave enough to touch him for more than a high five. pic.twitter.com/IHjXOJLXgV

Idk if he did in other countries too, but here in Manila he clearly told us to sit down and don't stand up, just stay on our seats and he'll be the one to roam around and to be careful cause he didn't want anyone to be hurt. This is upsetting, though 😟 https://t.co/YF0iVs22lI

Shortly after this video went viral, another clip from the same night was uploaded on X (former Twitter), where fans were seen inappropriately touching Park Bo Gum as he tried to walk through the upper sections of the venue. It sparked even more backlash, triggering conversations about whether this was exclusively a problem in Latin America.

We Asians kept our distance even if we love him as much. Please follow his/the event's rules so that he will continue to meet his fans in the balcony. Don't make him feel unsecured please 😔#ParkBogum#BeWithYouinMonterrey https://t.co/PDHnwgRgDy

I was very happy when they announced that Latam was included into Be With You FM tour, even hoped that other countries like Argentina and Peru to be included in next FM rounds. But if many Latam fans behave like this, then Bogum's FM should have stick only to Asia regions https://t.co/idW4VY5Szb

However, many also defended Latin American fans, pointing out that these out-of-line behaviors are caused by a small number of people who should not be considered the representatives of an entire region.
Previously, BTS member J-Hope had also experienced similar incidents during his solo tour, one of them being in Indonesia. You can read more about it here:
