RIM, the leader of the world-famous K-pop group Eclipse, had been through countless airport arrivals, but nothing could have prepared him for this. As soon as he stepped into the customs area at Incheon International Airport, a group of uniformed officers approached him.

Confused, RIM exchanged glances with his manager, Jisoo, who immediately stepped forward. “Is there a problem?” she asked, but the officers ignored her.
