After the show, the members took part in the send-off, where they could meet ENGENEs close up. As part of the send-off, Sunoo was interacting with fans and took a pair of glasses from a fan to put on.
As Sunoo put on the glasses, the security guard was seen to “aggressively” pull the glasses away from the idol.
When the video was shared, netizens couldn’t hide their anger at how Sunoo was being treated. They explained that after a long concert, Sunoo just wanted to interact with fans, and the staff’s behavior was extremely aggressive.
i’m livid as if he isn’t being micromanaged enough and we’d see shit like this on camera he literally wore different glasses before this one yet no one yanked it from him

Sunoo is known to be super respectful and kind towards everyone, I haven’t seen a single person not said something sweet about him, he has a very kind and approachable personality and everyone is drawn to that. After being on stage for HOURS, he still looks forward to the send…

u guys in the comments justifying what the staff did to sunoo… there were SOOOO many other ways to stop sunoo, esp less harsher ways

why do some engenes always try to justify everything that happens with sunoo there’s literally evidence of a staff just being plain rude to him and you think they acted like that for his own good

While some netizens acknowledged that it might be due to brand deals, they explained that there are nicer and less aggressive and physical ways to tell Sunoo not to wear the glasses.
fck, u didn’t have to do that, u can ask him peacefully not to wear it and yet u decided to rip it off from his face :///// LOOK AT HOW SCARED MY BABY IS ☹️☹️

It doesn’t matter what brand it is, it doesn’t matter what is that staff problem. HE IS IN FRONT OF HIS FANS. They don’t have the right to rip them off in this manner. He can take those damn glasses himself. Noone has the right to embarrass him in this way https://t.co/yEfzsTd6KD

Also, considering past clips of the staff of ENHYPEN, many shared that they’re worried about how the members are being treated in private when so many issues and concerning behavior have been seen in public and in front of fans.
if that’s how the staff and managers act in front of people I don’t want to imagine what’s going on behind the scenes. https://t.co/UuDr6ry5F5

Sunoo just wanted to interact with fans and netizens think that if he wasn’t allowed to take the glasses, they should’ve found another way to relay the message rather than being physical.
