SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu Begging Fans In Viral Video Sparks Outrage

SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu has sparked concern among fans after his reaction to a chaotic airport arrival following his overseas fan signing event.

Mingyu recently returned to Seoul after meeting fans abroad, but his arrival was quickly overwhelmed by a large crowd gathering around him at the airport.

In videos shared online, fans noticed that Mingyu appeared visibly frustrated despite wearing a hat and mask. Some claimed that around the 5-second mark, he could be heard saying, “Ah, please…” as fans surrounded him.

It’s true that going to see idols at the airport when they depart or arrive is a personal choice, but if you’re going to go, please at least follow the rules and keep order… please.

Even though Mingyu was wearing a hat and a mask, you could clearly tell that he was angry. And if you listen closely around the 5-second mark, you can hear Mingyu say, “Ah, please…” It honestly breaks my heart… ;;

Many fans expressed sadness at seeing him in that situation, with some pointing out that airport encounters should still respect an idol’s personal space.

What happened at the airport?
Why did Mingyu look so upset?
It was really upsetting to see so many people crowding around him like that

While fans are allowed to visit airports to see celebrities, many argued that following an idol’s arrival or departure does not mean crowding them or blocking their path.

this is why i have said and will always say to LEAVE THEM ALONE at the fucking airport. they’re tired and just want to get out of there like everyone else. not get swarmed. he looks irritated and genuinely over the bs.. how are we not embarrassed to be causing that reaction??

Why do some fans still not understand that crowding around Mingyu just to get photos or videos is an invasion of his personal space, whether it’s at the airport or anywhere else? This isn’t an official schedule or a public event.

The situation also came shortly after Mingyu’s overseas fan signing event became a topic of discussion online following a fan’s reported bathroom accident while waiting in line to meet him.
