ORIGINAL ARTICLE
QUOTE
Rough Translation:
Yamapi was in Korea for a private and short trip with his friend(Shirota Jun) and manager(first guy in the video) Hours before his departure from Gimpo Airport, the news was leaked all over the internet and more then 1000 fans showed up. According to news, the airport didn't have enough security and Yamapi got mobbed by fans. He got his shirt torn and someone threw a gift at him and it hit his head.
EDIT: added by quin_tessen_ce: The article says apparently the Jimusho said that his hair was pulled out and he got some injuries on his body... But YamaPi keeps saying it's alright, but he was shocked. Apparently everyone[Security?] started to swear at the fans, Yamapi didn't. And even through the hectic chaos he tried to show his professionalism, by waving at some of the fans and even helping a fan who fell down to get up.(if you look at the bottom 3 caps he's pulling on someone, I wonder if it's the fan who he helped to get up. awww, that's so sweet of him)
Korean netizens are expressing their apologies and saying how disappointed & embarrassed they are with the fans' behaviors and they are aware that things crossed the line yesterday.

It pretty much says the same stuff.
"Yamapi was on a private trip with friends for 2 days to Korea from the 5th to the 6th.
[info]On the 6th, over 1000 fans showed up.
Yamapi's hair was pulled as well as his clothes.
At the end, when he was finally able to enter the gate, it looks like he lost all of his power and sat down, facing the floor.
Many net users who've seen this footage online felt that these fans have disgraces Korea"
This is serious matter, because this is going to affect Japan's Johnnys fans and workers images of Korea.
Please be careful next time, or Johnny's will decrease the amount of future events.
A good example in the past is Nagoya. If you haven't realized, this year's KAT-TUN and Kanjani 8 have left out Nagoya in the list of venues.
This is due to horrible manners of the fans in the past concerts. Examples such as: hurtful comments were shouted out at Kame, no one listened during MC, members were pulled into the crowd, etc.
Anyways, just please be careful Korean fans, and please don't hurt our Johnnys boys. We want Yamapi and the others to have a good impression of the international fans.

I hope he didn't get mad at his fans, he should understand that he's so hot and he'll really get girls throwing themselves at him..
