More now than ever, it seems idols have continued to find ways to get closer and closer to fans.
In addition to including close-up fan interactions as concert ticket perks, many idols approach the audience during their shows.

However, a recent incident has sparked some concerns from fans.
BOYNEXTDOOR are currently on their KNOCK ON Vol. 1 tour and recently held concerts in Korea. Though not every part of the concert has been well-received, fans have still praised the group for their performances and more.
In a now-viral clip, Myung Jaehyun gets up close and personal with fans at the barricade, most of whom appear to respect his space. One fan’s hand can be seen reaching out and rubbing Jaehyun’s chest before resting there for as long as he is in range.
Many fans have commented on the situation, seeing it as sexual harassment and taking advantage of Jaehyun’s desire to be close to fans.

- “Are you seriously groping someone like that on camera? Are you insane?”
- “No matter how close you are, there are boundaries. Don’t cross the line, seriously.”
- “Where the hell do you think you’re touching, you disgusting freak.”
- “If it were me, I would’ve cursed right then and there and ended up in a scandal. Get your hands off—this is just nasty.”
