ENHYPEN is facing controversy after a staff member was seen hitting a fan with a piece of paper at the airport.
The incident happened near the airline boarding area, where fans crowded one of the members. The staff’s reaction sparked debate online.
Some fans felt the staff went too far and criticized the hitting. Others defended the action, saying it was needed to protect private information like the member’s passport.
“Yeah that’s not okay. I don’t know if this was really a sasaeng or just a fan who got overexcited and maybe too close which shouldn’t happen either but hitting someone like that and the aggression is really not great and shouldn’t be applauded”
— VRSSRTAS⁷ (@VRSSRT)“All the male pfps saying this was satisfying when that man clearly likes to be violent towards women and y’all no better than him”
— girl (@ye0stan_)“Before you lot start, he’s obviously hitting away whatever large camera the ssng is holding. They’re trying to record private passport info. If he actually hurt a woman with that much force and that degree why would everyone else react calmly? Clearly no one was actually hurt.”
— ✿soap✿ (@venombytte)“Here’s my thing yall can’t be like ‘so & so protect your artists’ ‘get body guards’ ‘stop these sasaengs and people all in their space’ and then someone does and yall get uncomfortable and suddenly ‘was that necessary??’ ‘Idk it feels like too much’ PICK?!”

No one in their right mind would go near the passport check area, are u one of those ‘fans’ who enjoy idols’ confidential information getting sold off? Weird”

Airport security controversies like this have trended before, highlighting the constant tension between idol safety and fan behavior.
ENHYPEN’s agency has not commented on the incident. Fans remain split over the staff’s aggressive response.
