Those at the airport are people who take pics of celebrities for profit, not fans at all! Why should Minghao be subjected to such treatment?” “I can’t even put into words how mad & worried I am right now. seeing Minghao covering his ears and panicking while people kept on mobbing him. Pledis when will u learn. The op in the video was also laughing. Like not a single respect left in their bodies. Absolutely disgusting,” also shared someone.
Reportedly, Minghao has been provided with better security from the cosmetic brand now. Some new visuals show him walking around tight security. However, it's not known yet if he has left China or not.
