K-pop boy band Wanna One's agency Swing Entertainment apologized Saturday for the band's manager's violence against a female fan at Incheon International Airport.
The manager allegedly pushed away the fan on Friday when the boy group was on its way to Thailand.
A video clip capturing the moment went viral online, causing public uproar for the manager's "overreaction."

The agency issued a statement: "We are sorry to cause anxiety to fans. The manager feels sorry about his wrongdoing."
The agency added that the manger would be disciplined and that such an incident would not happen again.
In July, some Singaporean fans were angry about their alleged rough treatment at the hands of security guards during a gig at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Wanna One, composed of the top 11 contestants from Mnet's survival reality show "Produce 101 Season 2," has been enjoying popularity since its debut in August 2017 with the album "1X1=1(TO BE ONE)."
