NewJeans’ member Hanni has left fans concerned after a recent incident. As the group returned to South Korea after attending the ‘2024 Asia Artist Awards,’ a shocking scene unfolded in the airport.

While this is not an uncommon event for many idols when traveling through the airport, something appeared to be different this time. Hanni became visibly upset, stopping in the middle of the crowd while Minji and a staff member comforted her.

Fans are now speculating as to the reason for Hanni’s distress, and many have pointed out one possibility: a man who pushed past NewJeans’ bodyguards, attempting to touch them and hand them a letter. Some fans are wondering whether this may have caused Hanni’s discomfort, or whether the entire situation at the airport was simply overwhelming.

The recent incident of harassment at the airport has left many netizens frustrated and worried for NewJeans:
“These people are out of their minds”
“It’s so annoying that they kept shouting Hanni’s name even while she was crying”
“Why in the world would people act like this? It’s insane”
“I feel like I’m going crazy whenever I see idols’ airport videos like this, why does this even exist?”
“Today, a lot of idols were at the airport returning to the country, so it seems like a lot of strange people came to see them as well. With NewJeans, it wasn’t originally that chaotic, but I think they were surprised when people suddenly started pushing and screaming”
“I guess the fans are acting like that because it seems like it’ll be rare to see NewJeans anymore… ㅠㅠ”
