ENHYPEN's staff member's actions towards fans at an airport garnered mixed reactions from the internet. Recently, a video went viral, showing an airport security check where members of K-pop boy group ENHYPEN are visible. However, a disturbing part of the clip became a trending discussion on social media.
One of the staff members accompanying the boy group was seen using a paper to push away a fan or an alleged sasaeng/stalker. The sound of the paper could be heard in the video; however, it is not visible whether the staff hit the object carried by the alleged sasaeng or the stalker themselves.
The ENHYPEN staff's behavior towards the alleged stalker has been praised by fans, with many suggesting that this method should be used for other K-pop groups' sasaengs. They turned to X to share their thoughts about the treatment towards the alleged sasaeng fan.

"Deserved. wished he did it again. These ppl are nothing but a mistake to society. they constantly traumatize idols and dont care even a bit. bodyguard did a great job," a fan said.
"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' 'they’re just excited' PICK?!" a user commented.
"'It's unnecessary, maybe it was just an excited fan' Y'all dumb? When u invade privacy like that, you're a sasaeng. 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," another user commented.
Meanwhile, some netizens expressed their concern regarding the ENHYPEN staff's alleged violent action towards the alleged sasaeng fans at the airport.
"If they are hitting strangers this hard, could there be a possibility this is how they treat the idols behind the scenes too? I know a lot of stories from ex idols who exposed their companies physically assaulting them and South Korea has a bad hierarchy-abuse problem between men," a netizen mentioned.
"reminder that these are the same people who post your favourite airport pictures that y’all love retweeting so much," a fan wrote.
"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," a netizen reacted.
