RIIZE recently made their way to the airport to fly to Europe for a fashion show. The situation at the airport was incredibly chaotic, with many pushing their way through to catch a glimpse of the boys. Not only was it overcrowded, but the boys had their personal space invaded with handphones and cameras shoved in their faces.

Even flanked with guards, the boys barely had room to move.

Member Wonbin could not control his facial expressions. Looking at the throng of screaming fans charging at them, coupled with the journalists who were there to document their departure, he threw certain fans a look of shock and contempt.
Other fans have also noted that the person who took the photo, “wenwen,” is allegedly a famous sasaeng of RIIZE’s senior group NCT.
Wonbin went viral for his honest facial expressions after seeing the crowd. Many praised him for being real.

Fans were embarrassed on behalf of those who had taken the photos in question. To have your bias look at you like that is not something to be proud of.

To idols, the crowds may look like a zombie apocalypse indeed.

Hopefully, this incident and Wonbin’s reaction will dissuade more fans from feeling the urge to go to airports to see the boys.
