As expected, the airport was full of netizens and media, all wanting a taste of IU. However, with so many fans, it wasn’t surprising that there were huge crowds as the idol made her way to the car.

Whenever an idol is at the airport, they always have a lot of security to ensure their safety, and it was no exception for IU. Considering the large crowds who were all crowding to get a glimpse of IU, the security guards ensured that they tried their hardest to protect the idol by pushing fans away.

Yet, IU showcased her true personality when reacting to seeing her fans being pushed aside. In a tweet that has gained attention, IU seemed to showcase her protectiveness towards the fans because, as she saw the security pushing Uaena and taking hold of their hands to move them away (IU fan name), she could be heard protesting.

Don’t push so hard like that. Don’t push like that.

When the security was pushing fans and IU noticed one fall, a close-up video showed IU pulling the guards back so they wouldn’t hurt Uaena anymore.
