[Reporter Kim Hyun-jin] As actor Byeon Woo-seok's airport excessive security controversy sounds a major alarm across the domestic entertainment industry, the exemplary response of Hong Kong actor Andy Lau in the past is being highlighted once again.

Recently, fans have been looking at Byeon Woo-seok's airport incident with an open mind, viewing it as an inevitable rite of passage proportional to his explosive popularity. The controversial incident occurred on the 12th at Incheon International Airport. Private security guards accompanying Byeon Woo-seok faced allegations of shining flashlights at general passengers and unauthorizedly inspecting their boarding passes. In response, Byeon Woo-seok's agency immediately released an official statement and apologized.

One example that has been drawing public attention in connection with this security controversy surrounding Byeon Woo-seok is an anecdote about superstar Andy Lau. In the past, during a concert, when a security guard attempted to harm his fan, Andy Lau immediately jumped off the stage mid-performance to actively protect the fan.

In this incident, Andy Lau's appropriate and swift action became an opportunity to turn misfortune into blessing. Fans who deeply felt the star's authenticity and love for his fans came to cherish and respect him even more, and Andy Lau's action continues to be cited as a perfect model case from that time to the present.

This anecdote paradoxically gave the public a glimpse into the 'world of security,' showing that security guards can act excessively contrary to fans' pure intentions. Friction between stars, fans, and security guards occurs frequently, but controlling the situation appropriately like Andy Lau is never an easy task.

Ultimately, this incident of excessive behavior by Byeon Woo-seok's security guards is expected to serve as a significant lesson prompting not only those involved but the entire domestic entertainment industry to reflect on security culture.

Meanwhile, despite the controversy, fans' unwavering love for Byeon Woo-seok continues. Currently, Byeon Woo-seok is firmly maintaining first place in the Male Acting category at the July Netizen Awards, proving his sustained popularity.
