While it is quite common for fans to be at the airports to catch glimpses of their favorite K-pop stars, on Thursday, the band saw something harsh and unexpected.
When they were at the airport, fans of Tomorrow x Together (TXT) were seen behaving incredibly recklessly and pushing each other, without considering the others. While this is quite a common sight, Yeonjun noticed something that was quite harsh. He saw a woman with a little baby and an elderly woman caught in the chaos. Needless to say, this led him to speak up and address the situation.
In his Weverse statement, the idol spoke about the situation and asked his fans to be a little more careful. When fans saw the post on the social media platform, they took to other platforms to share their thoughts and said that fans needed to be a little more considerate. One fan even went on to say:

He added that while he appreciates the love and support from his fans, he needed to emphasize the fact that they needed to behave responsibly in public spaces like airports. Yeonjun said that airports aren't just made for K-pop idols but for others too, who deserve respect and privacy.
"I'm leaving this post, hoping the fans who came to the airport today could see this. It's a space with a lot of people, not just us, so I'd appreciate it if the fans could keep order and manners a little more. Of course, it was unintentional of you, but I was very embarrassed to see a mother with her baby and the older people bumped by you, and some people went against the escalator, and I was so sorry for them, but I couldn't apologize because it was so crowded. I'd appreciate it if you could be a little careful, please!" read his post on Weverse. (Translation via Weverse)
