These are basic human rights!
Koreaboo
With the weather warming, the university festival season has started in Korea! With many popular idol groups and artist lineups, these festivals are popular among university students, fans, and the public. However, Hanyang University is being criticized for its basic human rights restrictions to those standing in line.
For day 2, popular groups such as CRAVITY, Choi Yena, and BSS were a part of the guest lineup. Fans and outsiders not from the university began standing in line for the festival early in the morning to secure seats. However, people were baffled at the staff’s announcement to those standing in line.
한밤중에 줄을 섰어요!아침 6시쯤 줄 서 있는 사람한테 7:30이후에는 화장실 가지말라고 아니면다시 줄을 서야 했어요!지금10:30분에 화장실 간다고 하면 다시 줄을 서야되요!스태프들이 계속 화장실 가지 말라는 거 아니데요,화장실에 가면 안전에 문제가 생긴다고 계속 얘기하는데요#한양대ERICA축제

I stood in line in the late hours of the night! They told someone standing in line around 6 AM that they couldn’t go to the bathroom after 7:30 AM; otherwise, they would have to get in the back of the line. Right now, at 10:30 AM, if you say you’re going to the bathroom, you have to stand in line again. The staff isn’t saying to not go to the bathroom, they keep saying that if you go to the bathroom, there will be a problem with safety.
에리카 줄서있는데
화장실 오전 7시반 이후 못간다고.
가는순간 바로 맨뒤로 쫒겨난다고 학생회사마가 말씀하심…아니 저희 본공연 21시인데..

I’m standing in line at the ERICA campus, and they said you can’t go to the bathroom after 7:30 AM. The moment you go, you have to go to the back of the line. But the actual festival starts at 9 PM…Do you want me to pull a ‘Hanteo Show’ on Hanyang University’s precious grass?
에리카 미쳤음? 대기줄 슨 사람 화장실 가지 말래 화장실 갔다 오면 퇴장이고 맨 뒤로 가야한대 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 생리하는 사람도 예외없다 ㅇㅈㄹ 함 장난하나

Is the ERICA campus crazy? They’re telling the people in line that they can’t use the bathroom. If you go, you must go to the back of the line. They even said there are no exceptions, even if you’re on your period. What the hell?
I’m standing in the outsider line and they won’t let anyone use the bathroom. Around 7 or 7:30 AM they said if you get out of line, you can’t come back. They announced this at the front, and I also heard it and said, ‘How can we not go for this long,’ they said, ‘Didn’t you come here because you could handle that.’ I’m ok with not going to the bathroom now, but someone jus tasked if they could go and they said you can’t come back if you get out of line…
People were furious as they did not just form a line out of nowhere but because the university posted a message online about opening the ticket booth line through Instagram.
The lines for the tickets barricade will open starting at 2 AM.
What was even more shocking was that they were selling tickets at 10,000 KRW ($~7.33 USD) to outsiders.
- “They’re doing that to people paying to watch the show???”
- “You could ask people in front and behind you at amusement parks? I always held it in…I learned something new..thanks.”
- “Last year they wouldn’t let us use umbrellas when it was raining..”
- “I hope you go through the same thing when you enter the real world after college.”
- “They’re doing that to people who are paying?”
- “Are they crazy? After taking their money?”
- “If you took their money, the rights must be equal too.”
- “I wonder whose head this idea came from, so lame.”
- “They’re doing that after selling tickets? Using the abuse of power already?”
- “Such bullies…what’s all this bullsh*t.”
- “Does the school council think they are some big shots? Soon you’ll be entering the work force.”
- “Send complaint calls to the school.”
- “Crazy.”
- “What are they doing after taking their money.”
With the school council allegedly stating that SEVENTEEN had requested the bathroom issue, member Hoshi cleared things up with a post on Weverse.
We all need to go to the bathroom.
And drink a lot of water.
No official statement has been released by the university yet. Stay tuned for more updates.
