The corporation was reported to have installed safety fences at the entrance to counter E in the departure hall on the third floor of Terminal 1 at Incheon Airport.

Earlier, a video showing dozens of passengers, including Chinese daigou traders, cutting in line at the check-in counter here last month spread online.

It is presumed that daigou traders and some travelers rushed forward as soon as the counters opened to be processed for boarding first.

Some employees were reportedly pushed by the crowd during the line-cutting and suffered bruises and abrasions.
