Taeyeon Leaves Message to Fans on Instagram After Suffering Anxiety Attack in Airport

Tae-yeon recently headed to Jakarta, Indonesia on August 18 to participate in “Countdown Asia Games 2018”, a regional multi-sport event in Asia.

A huge crowd had gathered by the time Tae-yeon arrived at Jakarta Airport, in hopes of catching a glimpse of the singer. But the situation quickly deteriorated to a chaotic one, as can be seen in the two clips below.

In the first clip Tae-yeon clearly looks uncomfortable and is walking with her head down and her arms crossed. In the second clip the singer can barely be seen in the crowd, with only the top of her head occasionally becoming visible.

The entanglement of people unintentionally pushed and shoved Tae-yeon causing her to fall down.

After being safely escorted out of the crowd and away from the airport Tae-yeon posted a lengthy message to fans on her Instagram account stating,

“A very dangerous situation was create at Jakarta Airport — there were so many people that our feet and our bodies became entangled. I fell on the floor, shaking and crying, and couldn’t get up. The local bodyguard must have thought that I was in danger and he lifted me up, and I was embarrasses and shocked by the situation. I was anxious because I was coming into contact with bodies behind and beside me — I could not find any order around me — and there were some people who waited for me and fell in the same way, so my heart does not feel good. I don’t think it was intentional, but somebody kept touching and pulling on my body, buttocks, and chest. I felt overwhelmed and confused. So my arrival in Jakarta, a place I have not been in while, did not go very well. I am so sorry for the fans who waiting, but please keep the order so that we do not get hurt. We have fans who are more loving, positive and understandable than anyone else. I hope for no one to get hurt.”

자카르타 공항에서 수많은 인파에 몰려 발이 엉키고 몸도 엉켜서 많이 위험한 상황이 있었습니다 실제로 바닥에 넘어진채로 벌벌떨고 눈물이 멈추지 않았어요. 현지 경호원분이 위험해 보였는지 절 뒤에서 번쩍 들어올리셔서 그것 또한 너무 당황스러웠고 놀랐습니다. 자꾸 뒤에서 옆에서 신체접촉에 긴장했던 상황인지라 질서라는건 찾아볼 수 없었고 기다려주셨던 분들중에 똑같이 넘어지고 다치신 분들도 있는 것 같아서 제 마음이 몹시 좋지 않네요. 그리고 고의는 아니었겠지만 신체일부 엉덩이며 가슴이며 자꾸 접촉하고 부딪히고 서로 잡아당기고.. 그 느낌도 참 당황스럽고 제정신을 못차리겠더라고요. 그래서 오랜만에 도착한 자카르타에서 좋은 모습으로 입국 할 수가 없었습니다. 기다려준 팬들에게 너무 미안하고 제발 우리 다치지않게 질서를 지켜줬으면 좋겠어요 그 누구보다 사랑 많고 정 많고 서로 이해 할 수 있는 우리팬들이니까 오늘일은 해프닝으로 생각할게요. 모두 다 상처받지 않길 바랄게
