I came to the airport to go on a trip with my parents. What are the chances that Sun Jae comes in when you are sitting at the lounge? Woo Seok is really tall kekeke.

What caught the eye of others was how the security guard who accompanied him shone his flashlight right at the other passengers waiting at the lounge.

Shining flashes is a common method used by security guards to prevent people from filming. However, due to the danger of direct line in one’s eye, this method is mostly only used outdoors. Netizens were stunned to see the guard acting like that indoors, and at the Prestige lounge at that.

Are celebrities really so f*cking special? Can’t believe things are at the stage where ordinary people get flashlights shone at them at the Prestige Lounge.

The post on X soon went viral with 1.3 million views. Naturally, other netizens tuned in with their criticism, calling out Byeon Woo Seok’s team.

• “FR, stop acting up. I hope they get rid of shining lasers into people’s eyes.”
• “Why is the guard acting up?”
• “Acting up.”
• “If it’s the airport lounge, wouldn’t everyone there be normal people? Why are they doing that to normal people?”
• “Such snowflake behavior. Everyone there are ordinary people. What do you mean he’ll get recognized?”
• “That guard is someone who told Woo Seok there’s fans here and there at the Hong Kong airport and helped guide him to greet fans. I also saw him tell Woo Seok to greet everyone at domestic airports. I’m just telling you what I saw because people are commenting that they’re only nice to foreign fans.”
• “Why did he suddenly shine the flashlight at them? Are they allowed to do that to ordinary people just because they are guarding celebrities? Seeing the video, there was a kid there too. It would be so bad for their eyes.”
• “Why are they doing that in the lounge?”

It is not the first time that management teams and security guards have been called out for overprotection. Previously, CRAVITY‘s guard was accused of assaulting a fan.
