On September 4, the group made its first public appearance since Taeil‘s scandal, arriving at the Incheon airport to travel to Jakarta for a fanmeeting. While waiting for the flight at the airport, Jaehyun was spotted lying down on the public benches in the lounge.

These were unusual sights for idols of Winter or Jaehyun’s stature. The norm, in such cases, is for management to arrange for private waiting rooms for idols. Hence, SM Entertainment came under fire as many fans felt that they fell short of providing the right facilities for their artists. Many also argued that resting in such public areas put the idols’ safety in jeopardy, especially due to sasaeng fans.SM Entertainment has not responded to the criticism as of yet.
