Bodyguards and staff members of popular idol group EXO is now under heavy criticism for their behavior at the Nanjing airport.

EXO went to Nanjing on August 16 to perform at the “Samsung Galaxy Nanjing Music Festival.” However, the 2014 Youth Olympics are taking place in Nanjing as of that moment, observing a heightened security at the airport.

The Chinese media said that on August 16 EXO’s staff did not allow to have their luggage checked by the security guards at the airport, getting into some arguments. While, another conflict happened outside the gates, when EXO’s bodyguard went to hit a fan’s camera off her hands. As some fans say in other fan accounts, he also hit a Youth Olympic volunteer who happened to be close at that time.

EXO’s entertainment agency, SM Entertainment released a statement saying that “the truth is different from what was reported in the Chinese media,” adding, “in the process of leaving the hectic crowd at the airport, there was some conflict between the hired bodyguards and the airport staff due to security reasons. But they were not EXO’s managers.” SM also revealed that they finished their conversation on good terms with the airport staff that day.

Meanwhile, CCTV, Chinese media outlet, reported that the seven bodyguards have agreed to their wrongdoings.
