On July 14, 2024, a South Korean news outlet reported that an online user was claiming to have filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea regarding the controversy surrounding actor Byeon Woo Seok's security firm for excessive security measures.

They also posted a screenshot showing that the complaint submission to the National Human Rights Commission was completed.
Moreover, it was also noticed by netizens by going through videos from the days that the team was closing the entrance of the terminal and even went as far as to check the boarding passes of the passengers.
