Editorial criticizing several media outlets for putting the blame of what happened at the airport onto G-Dragon. There were some that released articles saying G-Dragon was blinded by his star status because he didn't bow or greet anyone, etc, when he was merely just trying to get on the plane. The editorial shifts the blame to the journalists for even expecting him to bow in a situation like that and for trying to take his pictures in an unsafe environment, putting others at risk.

1. [+533, -61] I really agree with this article. The journalists are just pissed that they stuck his camera in his face and couldn't get a good picture so they're blaming him for not posing or bowing, saying he lost his roots. I have no words for that... The video is enough proof of what the situation was actually like. You could see journalists pushing and shoving anyone trying to get by just to get a picture, so how is any of this G-Dragon's fault? And the illegal parking is the fault of his manager, not G-Dragon. He doesn't even have the license for it. People need to stop running around cosplaying as journalists.

2. [+453, -50] I failed to see how any of this was G-Dragon's fault. G-Dragon put his head down and walked straight to his gate. He only waves and responds to fans when he's far enough away that it's not a safety hazard. Wouldn't it be obvious that the scene would turn into utter chaos if he stopped midway to bow and wave his hand? It's not fair to say he's blinded by his own stardom or that he lost his roots because he's still in the media for bowing to rookies and picking up fan letters and gifts even while running to the gate. I bet the journalists that put all the blame on G-Dragon are just pissed that they tripped and fell over in the mess.

3. [+355, -51] He actually looked a bit sick in the video.

4. [+96, -4] Every controversy is started by the journalists and the media

5. [+85, -2] What a refreshing article -_-
