On October 1, Hyein was spotted at Incheon Airport, getting ready for her appearance at Paris Fashion Week. As always, the young idol looked stylish and interacted with those around her in a friendly manner.
While she was walking through the airport, there were some fans trying to get her attention, but they were doing so politely.
One particular young boy was seen calmly walking alongside Hyein, near the security guards.
The security guards gently stopped the fan from giving Hyein a letter. Instead of persisting, he calmly stepped back from the idol.
However, Hyein noticed the young fan and turned to retrieve the letter from him. She accepted it with a smile and allowed him to continue his day calmly and safely at the airport.
After receiving the letter, Hyein looked appreciative of the gesture. As she continued her journey through the airport, the young boy faded into the crowd.
When this heartwarming video was shared online, netizens couldn't help but praise both the fan and Hyein.
In a time when airport etiquette is a subject of intense debate, especially regarding the safety of idols, this young fan's respectful and kind-hearted approach stood out.
