Guard's Harsh Response Draws Criticism
Rather than allowing the fan to return the passport directly to Giselle or politely accepting it with gratitude, the security guard abruptly snatched the document from the fan's hand. The aggressive manner in which he retrieved the passport shocked onlookers and quickly became a point of controversy online.
Korean and international fans alike expressed frustration with the guard's demeanor, with many pointing out that a simple thank you would have been appropriate given the circumstances.
