Overview
- CCTV and social media video show a Suvarnabhumi Airport security guard making a widely criticised 'slant-eye' gesture at a group of fans.
- Airport management said the footage relates to an incident on July 29 when 22 fans were denied boarding on Thai Airways flight TG674 because staff judged they could cause disorder.
- Officials say the fans had followed actors Ayden Sng and Lv Sitong into a restricted lounge without permission and later tried to rejoin the boarding area, prompting staff intervention.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport issued a public apology, described some staff conduct as inappropriate, and said the security guard has faced disciplinary action while procedures are under review.
- The episode has drawn heavy attention on social media and raises questions about how airports balance crowd control and passenger safety with fair treatment of travellers.
