i can't believe mingyu has to show a "do not film" sign to emphasize that it is illegal to film near security checks in airports. he's the kindest guy who waves & gives fanservice in public areas, but he also has limits. please respect seventeen’s privacy and follow fan etiquette

While SEVENTEEN has always been known for greeting fans at airports, even in crowded and potentially dangerous situations, they are also keenly aware of the importance of respecting rules and maintaining decorum.
While it may be more common for fans and media to film idols in South Korea, the practice is not as widely accepted in other countries.
Given the presence of clear signage and the guidance of airport staff, many felt it was unfortunate that Mingyu had to remind the fan to follow the rules in such a manner.
