When the video was posted, the quotes were full of furious fans.

In the comments, netizens shared how weird and creepy it was to film idols who are trying to just have a schedule that isn’t public and how they are also filming normal citizens who were taking the same transport. In particular, as the OP is a TripleS fan, many believe it was intentional that they got on the same train as the two idols.
