Filo NCTzen fights back against ‘disrespectful & violent’ foreign fans at recent NCT 127 PH concert

2024 is just starting, and so are the concerts of various international artists in PH, including K-pop groups.

The Filo NCTzen showed their excitement as NCT 127 recently held their NEO CITY – THE UNITY concert last January 21, 2024, at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan.

While many people had a good concert experience, some unfortunate fans did not enjoy it as much. Only a week after the ‘fight’ between a Filo Carat and Chinese Carats, another fanbase engaged in a heated clash. That’s mainly because other foreign fans allegedly became disrespectful and violent.

A Twitter user piqued the attention of other fans on X (formerly Twitter) when she posted a video showing the ‘ill-mannered’ international fans who allegedly smacked a Filo NCTzen’s head intentionally as they chanted during a performance.

The tweet went viral, reaching the Filo NCTzen involved in the incident. In a separate tweet, the X user shared another photo, showing how the said fans are pushing those who are in front of them just to be in front of the crowd.

Continuing the thread, the X user later shared a screenshot of a message from the involved Filo NCTzen, narrating that she had bitten one of the ill-mannered fans.

The thread continued to flow as other attendees shared their cents and dismay against the international fans. One Filozen tweeted about how they were holding a huge banner, blocking the view of other attendees at their back.

Others also pointed out how some members of the boy group, Haechan, and Mark, allegedly noticed what was going on.

The involved Filozen also addressed other individuals who are accusing them of being violent, claiming that they will not do something without any reason and that what they did is just an act of self-defense.

In just one week alone, clips of fights from two separate concerts have gone viral. Naturally, reacting against the abusers is reasonable, but fights should be avoided at all costs during these occasions that are meant to be festive and memorable. Dearest fans, stay vigilant, but don’t forget to defer to the authorities for your own safety.
