As the tvN drama 'Lovely Runner' gained great love from all over Asia beyond Korea, the popularity toward Byeon Woo-seok also heated up. Byeon Woo-seok, who has been all-in on an Asian fan meeting tour since the end of the 'Lovely Runner', left Incheon International Airport on the 12th for the '2024 Asian fan meeting tour 'SUMMER LETTER'.



However, during the departure process, Byeon Woo-seok was caught up in controversy over excessive security and was unexpectedly criticized. Fans camped at the airport to see Byeon Woo-seok, and the sensitivity of the security company to protect Byun Woo-seok reached its peak.

The security company first blocked the gate used by ordinary users for 10 minutes, sparking controversy over excessive security. As a result, complaints from users poured out, but the security company explained that it decided to control it after consultation with the airport security, saying it was to prevent safety accidents.



After twists and turns, a second controversy arose when Byeon Woo-seok visited the lounge to wait until boarding the plane after completing immigration. While Byeon Woo-seok was using the lounge at Incheon International Airport, the bodyguard fired a strong flash at other users using the lounge to prevent contact with Byun Woo-seok. Witnesses continued that the lounge users gave excessive security even though they did not make excessive contact with Byeon Woo-seok or create a threatening situation. In addition, it was shocked by reports that they inspected tickets for users who wanted to use escalators not only for lounge use but also for other facilities such as duty-free shops located on the same floor. The security company explained that it was a security guard to find people who were not lounge users, and that it later took measures to make the facilities available to users of other businesses, including duty-free goods, but public criticism intensified. Amid a flurry of complaints about 'presidential-level protocol', a netizen filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea against Byeon Woo-seok's excessive security for human rights violations.
