I don’t know anything about idols, but while I was just taking a selfie at the airport, a security guard suddenly showed up and covered my camera. Why? Who are they? They say it’s a group called TWS.

Netizens agreed their actions were unnecessary in a public space.

진짜 지랄 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 내 가족이 당했다고 생각하니까 시큐고 뭐고 대가리 다 터뜨리고 싶네

What is that…I would’ve hit his head regardless of him being a security guard or not if that happened to my family member.

아저씨한테도 지랄를하네 투어스 공항 전세냈어

Why are they doing that to a middle-aged man…did TWS rent out the airport or something?

ㅈㅂ 전용기를 타 ㅁㅊ들아 저 중년의 남성이 사생으로 보이냐??

Just ride a private jet, then… Do they really think that a middle-aged man would be a sasaeng?

Fans were also furious that they acted like that towards fans who also paid money for the plane.

I’m sorry but who are you to threaten to take away fans’ passports? Are you crazy? I am shook that they just yelled for them to take away their passports.

“Fans are also passengers who paid to be on the flight… what right do these security guards have to take their passports away?
