For many celebrities, airport arrivals and departures can be extremely stressful, having nothing to do with airplanes. Instead, stars deal with mobs of fans and reporters, making the experience sometimes traumatic.

While many stars have taken it as something that comes with the trade, others have openly asked fans not to behave the way they have, like NCT’s Jaemin.

During some of his latest travels, Zhan unfortunately dealt with fans and paparazzi mobbing him at the airport. The star became so frustrated he yelled at the crowd, telling them to move forward.

Move forward! What are you all doing? Can’t you all be orderly? Move forward. Can’t you all move forward? …. Be careful, be careful.

Luckily, his latest travels for the TODS Milan Fashion Week show were much less turbulent, with the star’s arrival going much smoother.
Seriously Xiao Zhan can make even a normal airport walk seem like a runaway. His posture and pace is really good. Even in this situation it’s not hasty nor timid, brisk and elegant still
