Sandara “Dara” Park and Nam Joo Hyuk graced a fan convention for Penshoppe. The convention was successful and going smoothly until a group of female fans swarmed the pair. One female fan grabbed Nam Joo Hyuk’s arm and the others followed suit, touching the Korean actor inappropriately. It all became rather unruly.
Netizens slam fellow fans
One netizen pointed out how Nam Joo Hyuk looked so annoyed.
“Why they behave like that. Pity Nam Joohyuk he looks annoyed tho! They need to be chill!! P/s: noted to other fans, pls respect artist even i know u guys so excited meeting them!”
Another netizen noted that one female fan’s excitement shouldn’t be an excuse for her to inappropriately touch the visiting Korean actor.
“hi ate gurl. your excitement is not an excuse to hug nam joohyuk like that. please show some respect. wag sana hayok hayok to the point na uncomfortable na sya.”
One netizen who admits to not having many followers also gave her two cents on the matter. No star or even ordinary person, says the netizen, deserves to be treated with disrespect and be made to feel that he has been harassed.
“i dont have tons of followers but i just wanted to speak out! To those fans who harrased nam joohyuk, think about what you did and make sure you dont do this kind of thing ever again. not just to nam joohyuk but every person whom you may encounter. consider their feelings please”
Another netizen hoped that the unruly female fans would be banned in future Nam Joo Hyuk fan meets.
“I wish those girls who harrased Nam joohyuk will be banned for any fan meetings of Nam joohyuk. I want to know their names especially the girl who touches joohyuk’s tummy.”
One netizen revealed that some Korean fans are planning to petition to prevent the fans who harassed the actor from attending a future meet.
“Korean fans of Nam Joo Hyuk is having petition to prevent filipino fans of NJH who harrased him in any event. LECHE ANO NA??? YUNG MALIGNO NANG HARASS KAY JOO HYUK SHETTTTT MADADAMAY DIN IMAGE NG MGA MABUBUTING FANS ANO?? MAKITA KITA SABUNUTA. TALAGA KITANG MALIGNO KA”
Another netizen pointed out how Nam Joo Hyuk ended up with bruised arms as a result of the mobbing incident.
“Nakakawa si nam joo hyuk harrased na nag ka sugat pa”
“Guys pwede naman siguro mag fan girl ng di na sasaktan at na haharassed yung idol ninyo paano pa sila babalik dito nyan”
Another netizen said that the said female fans shouldn’t be proud of what they did.
“this nam joo hyuk and dara incident is isn’t a thing to be proud of. yes, nakalapit ka kay joo hyuk, you even hugged him but you harrased him. touching his abs, forcing him to do a finger heart, girl you made our njh uncomfortable.”
