As it happened a while ago, Byeon Woo Seok’s security team became the recipient of criticism for over-protecting the actor at a prestigious airport lounge. The incident was filmed by a fan and posted online, where it was noticed that the security detail of the Lovely Runner actor shined a flashlight on a person sitting in the lounge. 


It was understood that the bodyguard went a little too far to protect the actor, as most of the people in the lounge were not fans but just normal travelers. Since light sensitivity is an important matter, using it in an indoor area was criticized. 

Soon after the over-protecting incident became a full-blown controversy, Byeon Woo Seok’s security team’s CEO issued an apology to the Korean media outlet News1, expressing regret over the whole mishap. 

In the apology, the CEO accepted that the situation was not handled rightly by Byeon Woo Seok’s security detail and there was no need for over-protection there. He assured everyone they do not operate like this.
