So, when the fan went home, she saw the idols. However, she was met with a “poor attitude” from the staff, who even allegedly followed her home.

TWS was in Kennedy Town but has left now. But I want to say that the staff members’ attitudes were really poor. They kept telling us to leave in a very rude manner. When I went to take photos from my apartment, they ran up there to scold me and chase me away. I’m so mad. But I’m happy to have heard TWS say, ‘It must be tough for you all. Thank you, everyone.’
– Fan
In disbelief, a netizen asked if the staff really went to the fan’s home.

Netizen: ‘They ran up to your home?’
Fan: ‘I couldn’t take photos of them from my unit, so I went to the terrace of the building. I have no idea how they were able to get up there.’– Conversation between the fan and a commenter
Other netizens quickly remarked that there is no law in Hong Kong preventing citizens from taking photos in public under normal circumstances; however, there are laws preventing unauthorized personnel from entering private property without permission. The fan noted that the staff members went silent and gave up after her mom yelled at them.

On the same day, another fan had a similar experience.

Staff: ‘Don’t hang around here.’
Fan: ‘What? I’m in the process of leaving.’
Staff: ‘Young girl, where are you going? Home? Do you live here?’ (They were a group of men sitting there laughing.)
Fan: ‘Yeah, are you not allowing people to pass by? I’m leaving.’
Staff: ‘Okay, then I’ll follow you and see where you’re going.’
Fan: ‘Go ahead.’Then, the staff followed me until I pretended to walk up the stairs, and he was too lazy to follow. If you want to follow me, then follow me until the end.
– Alleged conversation between the fan and staff
Netizens and other fans who were there left comments.
- “They ran up to us and followed our every move.“
- “There’s a reason TWS has antis: because of their staff.“
- “They poked me with an umbrella. They even followed me to the end of the block to make sure I actually left. Too bad I was alone then, so I didn’t dare to yell at them.“
- “I can understand they need to protect the artists, but they shouldn’t be following people and making snarky remarks towards them. They even yelled at the ajusshis who were just passing by.”
What do you think of the staff members’ alleged attitudes and actions?
