Amid the excitement, some overly enthusiastic fans began pushing forward and "shoving" gifts at Jisoo, which clearly overwhelmed her. In particular, some fans went as far as throwing items like packages of instant pho and Hello Kitty plush toys towards her.
Although Jisoo accepted the gifts, it was obvious that the crowd made Jisoo uncomfortable. She attempted to signal for fans to calm down. Even though she was wearing a mask, it was visible on Jisoo's face that she was becoming overwhelmed and confused by the situation.
Once Jisoo was safely inside her vehicle, she held a live stream to connect with her fans despite the overwhelming situation she faced.
During the stream, she expressed her discomfort about the aggressive welcome and mentioned being hit by thrown gifts. She revealed her surprise that her altered flight details had been leaked, as she had switched airlines to avoid such situations.
