But things took a weird turn. The security guard snatched the passport from the fan’s hand before the fan could return it.

The guard’s attitude triggered strong criticism online.

무례한 한남시큐의 표본.. 감사인사를 해도 모자를 판에 행동거지가 표독하기 그지없음..

The perfect example of a rude Korean male guard. It wouldn’t have been enough for him to be grateful, and yet his actions are so pathetic and miserly.

Many pointed out that the fan was actually helping since the guard missed the passport drop.

even the korean fans think the bodyguard is being unnecessarily rude giving a helpful fan a death-glare like that. at least say thanks for doing your job for you like tf
