Yves is facing backlash over her airport behavior.
The former LOONA member was caught on camera holding up her phone with the word “fool” displayed, smiling as fans filmed her.
Netizens are split. Some say Yves was calling out sasaeng fans who aggressively follow idols at airports. Others think she was just playing around with her fans.
The moment quickly gained traction online, sparking debate about fan etiquette and idol privacy.
Fan commentator @chae_beret weighed in:
“(Note: Whether you call yourself a ‘fan’ or not, it should not be viewed as ‘normal’ or ‘cute’ to follow idols to the airport to record them. I have seen too many videos of idols looking stressed or uncomfortable because of fans swarming or staring at them in airports. Yves may be jokingly calling them an idiot but it should be taken seriously.
Idols are humans who deserve some modicum of privacy and respect outside of official schedules that fans can attend. I don’t like this behaviour being normalised. Why is this considered normal ‘fansite’ behaviour at all??? The airport is not an official ‘schedule for you to attend!)”
The video of Yves has since gone viral. Fans and critics remain divided on her intentions at the airport.
