On November 24, Mark attended a photography event for the COSRX pop-up shop held at Stage 35 in Seongsu. As usual, fans gathered outside the venue, hoping to catch a glimpse of the idol. Mark took time to explore the pop-up, posed for photos and waved to the crowd.
However, a video clip of him leaving the venue quickly went viral, capturing the moment he rolled down his car window to wave to fans, only to be met with a harsh blast from security.
A fan who attended the event shared, “You know what made me so angry? Mark was just trying to say goodbye and the security guard yelled, ‘Why are you fucking rolling down your window.’ I was furious. The situation was chaotic, people were pushing and even the fans behind the fence were yelled at.”
Another later post included audio of the moment, confirming that the guard had said: “Fuck, don’t open the door.”
Fans were quick to condemn the actions of the security personnel, pointing out that the guard’s role is to protect, not harass, the artist. Angry responses flooded social media:
“A security guard’s job is to protect the artist and not curse him as he pleases.”
“You have to know your limits. He swore to his face. What did Mark do wrong? He was just waving. It’s disgusting.”
The incident has reignited discussions about the treatment of idols at public events and the professionalism expected of security personnel. Many fans are now calling for an official apology or disciplinary action for the unacceptable behavior.
