That day, they were mobbed severely at the airport upon reaching China for their schedules. They were seen struggling on the airport railway that transports passengers from their flight terminal to the main one. A Weibo account accused him of pushing fans, causing the topic “Shim Jaeyun pushes fan” to trend.
Many fans have claimed that the video was fabricated through AI.
the video is so clearly AI and alot of c-engenes are confirming on weverse that it’s definitely AI cause they saw other angles from that day and this video was randomly posted today

They claim that if it was real, the matter would have already been blown out of hand. The boys left for Beijng over ten days ago in early September.

Additionally, according to a fan who had been there, Jake did not push a fan. Instead, he had reached out to grab a member who was in danger of standing too close to the train doors.

They claimed that he was probably just antsy due to the crowds.
Others pointed out that Jake has always demonstrated patience when dealing with fans and crowds.

ENHYPEN has seen some truly rowdy airport crowds. The crowding issue seems to be particular severe for the stars. Fans have noted that crowding and rowdy fans seem to happen during their visits to China especially. Previously, fans were criticized for not only crowing them, but for loitering at the basement of their lodgings.
