The group returned from the European tour.
Fan interaction with NCT DREAM‘S Haechan at the airport caused great outrage.
On November 14, NCT DREAM returned from the European leg of their tour.
The members arrived in different groups, and Haechan was part of the first group to return to Korea. As members began to pass through, everything seemed calm, with the crowd blocked by barricades.
As the members started walking towards the exit, the crowd tried to approach the idols and mobbed them, but they tried to be controlled by the security around them.
As they left the airport, the crowd continued to swarm the members, and security at one point even formed a human chain to prevent anyone from getting close to them.
A fan at the airport shared that security apparently missed someone. While Haechan was walking, a fan not only bumped into him while crossing his street, but then put her phone in front of his face to take a photo.
One of my friends rushed over and collided with Haechan. Please maintain order. pic.twitter.com/M8UVBvWYs5

When the video was released, fans were furious. Not only did netizens not understand how someone could do something like this to an idol, they shared that even after Korean fans seemingly criticized the members for their comeback and organization, they still wanted to attack them.

Incheon Airport was supposed to have a separate exit for the idols, but the idea was scrapped, which you can read about below.
