On December 28, NewJeans arrived at Incheon International Airport after their trip to Bangkok, Thailand, where they attended the 2024 Asia Artist Awards. A large crowd of fans and journalists gathered to welcome them, but the he chaotic environment seemed overwhelming for the young idol.
As the members walked through the airport, the crowd poured towards them, creating a tense situation. In the midst of the commotion, Hanni suddenly turned away from the cameras, appearing distressed and needing a moment to compose herself. Colleague Minji and a staff member were seen comforting her as she paused for several minutes before continuing.
Videos of the incident quickly circulated online, leaving fans worried and speculating about the cause of his reaction. Some believe Hanni was spooked by a man who allegedly bypassed security and attempted to deliver a letter to her, getting uncomfortably close to the group.
Fan comments shared their frustration with the lack of boundaries, “The reason why Hanni was angry was because people touched her while she was delivering letters, here the video shows when she was distressed because they had no boundaries,” AND “A man burst through the bodyguards and pushed Hyein to deliver a letter, and Hanni was surprised. What a monster.“
While the exact cause of her distress remains unclear, fans hope that Hanni is now safe and recovering from the accident.
