Fan faints at BOYNEXTDOOR event and the organizers are under fire

A BOYNEXTDOOR fan’s health scare at a recent Seoul pop-up event has sparked criticism against the event organizers. With  ONEDOORs (that’s the fandom’s name) queuing overnight in freezing -10°C temperatures, one attendee collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. This had Internet users questioning their lack of well-planned logistics.

The incident occurred during the group’s pop-up event on January 10, which drew over 1,000 attendees. Fans were required to register on-site, leading many to camp out overnight in cold weather. As the queue stretched and registration closed just two hours in, many fans kept asking why there wasn’t an advance registration option.

Despite the dangerous incidents, the event seemed to be a massive success. The occasion showcased BOYNEXTDOOR’s popularity after their January 6 comeback with the digital single “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU.” However, the organizers’ lack of care messed up the celebration, with many expecting better logistics and preparations in the future.
