Celebrity Appearance at Bangkok Airport Triggers Uproar, Boarding Refusal, and Claims of Racism
On July 29, 2026, a tumultuous event transpired at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) involving celebrities Ayden Sng and Lv Sitong, co-stars of the Chinese-Singaporean drama series “Double Helix.” The duo was aboard Thai Airways flight TG674 heading to Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) when fans overwhelmed them, resulting in considerable disturbances.

Enthusiasts tried to follow the stars into restricted zones, such as the airport lounge and the boarding gate, disregarding security measures. The scenario intensified as fans surged onto the jet bridge, prompting the crew to lock the aircraft door to avert unauthorized access. As a safety measure, 22 individuals from the group were prohibited from boarding due to worries about possible in-flight disruptions.

The flight, initially set to leave at 11:50 PM, experienced a delay and finally took off at 1:06 AM. To make matters worse, airport security personnel faced accusations of racism, with one employee making an inappropriate gesture towards the apprehended passengers. This conduct was recorded on camera, sparking public outrage.

In reply, the airport extended an apology, recognizing the unsuitable behavior of some staff and pledging to enforce disciplinary actions. The occurrence underscores the difficulties of handling celebrity interactions in public venues and the necessity of upholding professionalism and respect within security procedures.
