오늘 오전에 호텔 1층 구경했는데 누가 봐도 시즈니인 사람들이 도영이 못 알아봤다고ㅋㅋㅋ 알아보면 어떡하지 걱정도 되면서 못 알아봐서 서운도 했다는 게 뎡나 귀여움ㅋㅋㅋ pic.twitter.com/7ygVaTvnBp

I saw a lot of people who looked like Czennies, and although I was a bit worried that they would recognize me, I was also a bit sad that no one noticed me.

However on day two, he found out that the fans just acted like they didn’t notice him to respect his privacy.
못 알아본 게 아니라 모른 척 해준 거였다는 거 듣고 감동받은 가나디 https://t.co/vGvhcfLwir pic.twitter.com/9S8dwXSz1n

While some felt that this was a given when meeting idols in public, most agreed that this was a great example of a healthy relationship between fan and artist.
I really love these relationships we have with doyoung. I love how doyoung can freely and casually told fans not to follow him and i love how the fans immediately understand and obey him😭😭😭😭😭 https://t.co/ZTGbzrEI9m

When he gently asked them to stop following him, they immediately listened. The relationship between an idol who isn't afraid to set the boundary with his fans & the fans who will obey him immediately. He can freely stroll around the hotel is the proof that he trusts his fans https://t.co/aZZZzZpbSP
