On March 2 KST, the members of ITZY arrived in Qingdao, China, for various overseas schedules planned for the weekend.

When the ITZY members appeared at the airport, fans welcomed them with enthusiasm. However, the enthusiasm may have crossed the line by invading the personal space of the girl group members, when the fans began crowding around ITZY's vehicle. With the door to the vehicle still left wide open, fans thrust their phones, arms, and letters into the van, surprising Yuna. 

Netizens expressed their concerns over the safety of the ITZY members, commenting,

"Where is the security? And why do those fans not understand personal space?"

"Why did the security guard leave the door wide open..."

"That was careless. Someone needs to be fired."

"Complete lack of respect and common sense."

"She looks so surprised and uncomfortable TT."

"All they care about is capturing those idols with their phones TT."

"What if that fan had something that wasn't a fan letter in their hand??"
