During the event, fans who attended shared instances of being physically handled by Ten’s female manager as they were doing the high-wave despite being at a respectable distance from the idol. The clips show the manager seemingly being forceful and grabbing the fans’ hands or pushing them forward as they tried to interact with Ten.
มึงเหี้ยมากๆๆๆ นี่คือสิ่งที่สตาฟทำตอนไฮบายอะ ลงมาดึงแฟนคลับให้เดินไปไวๆ บังทุกอย่าง ไม่ให้เกียรติทั้งแฟนคลับและเตนล์ จนน้องมันหน้าเสียแล้วอะ เหี้ยสุดๆในวันนี้ #ShopeexTEN_STUNNER pic.twitter.com/Sc0SlQWvbM

Netizens shared their anger about the manager’s physical contact with fans and how disrespectful it was, especially after the fans were being respectful towards Ten.
even from top view you could see 10velys weren’t even that close to him, everyone kept a decent distance but this manager literally took over the security’s job💀 its such a shame cause the fans didnt get this opportunity for free, they paid tons for it#ShopeexTEN_STUNNER https://t.co/rL0Y3qXubl pic.twitter.com/EOO2uzxPMh

Ten’s manager had no right to shove fans like that. They weren’t even crossing any lines. Physically pushing them? That’s straight-up disrespectful and aggressive. If you can’t act professionally, you shouldn’t be in that job @SMTOWNGLOBAL @SMTrueThailand pic.twitter.com/IH8CjkBBZZ

If SM wants to promote in Thailand, they seriously need to understand Thai culture. Grabbing or touching the arm of someone you don’t know is considered inappropriate and disrespectful here https://t.co/VX9Lq1oDHX

Following the anger from fans, a post was shared “exposing” other issues with the manager, whether it was failing to protect the members, her past as a K-Pop fan, or even accusations of exposing the WayV members’ schedules.
ปี 2019 เค้าลิสเป็นข้อๆแบบนี้อะ
1. ไม่เคยจะทำหน้าที่ปกป้องมบ.ที่สนามบิน
2. ก่อนเข้าบอสัทเป็นแฟนไซต์
3. ทักษะการขับรถมีปัญหามั้ย แต่ก่อนมันจะขับ 0273 ละมีรูปว่ามันขับไปชน
4. ชอบปล่อยโล/เวลา ตารางงานมบ.
5. คุยกับซาแซง
6. โควทเว่ยมบ.ละมาเม้าลง public ตลอดเอาตัวไรมาอยู่กะเตน😭😭 pic.twitter.com/O1fTZCFhHf

Regarding Way V’s female manager Miss Z, I’d like to call a few things into question as a fan.
1. As a manager, she didn’t fulfill her basic responsibility of protecting the members at the airport.
2. She was a fansite master before joining the agency; is she still stanning idols after joining?
3. Is there a concern that her driving skills are not up to standard?
4. As a manager who gives members rides everyday, she publicly revealed members’ undisclosed schedules on Weibo.
5. Did she privately contact NCT/Way V fans?
6. Continuously exaggerating the members’ matters in life and the things she encounters during work on Weibo.
Refer to the images for details. I’d like to ask, Miss Z, are you fantasizing about becoming Shan Cai or the next Zhou Li Chun [drama/novel characters]?
@/Lake0108 oppa, look, she’s scolding you in that last image!
Netizens were furious about the actions towards fans, and the information about the manager’s behavior in general has sparked even more anger.
