Pinoy iKONICS Praised For Respecting iKON’s Privacy During Their Break Time In The Philippines
YG Entertainment boy group iKON is back in the Philippines for the K-Pop Masterz 2 concert on September 23, and Filipino fans are being praised for their treatment of the members’ personal space.
Fancams shared online captured the moment the boys casually strolled around a mall near the concert venue in Araneta City.
Jinhwan, for example, was seen walking with a group of people as he entered a parking lot. Even from afar, the singer looked dashing in black pants and a loose blue and white shirt.

The restaurant is famous for its original chicken recipe, so it’s great that they had the chance to eat a delicious meal before the concert started!
One order of C3 please! 🍝🍗
Welcome to Araneta City, Yunhyeong! We hope you enjoyed your Jollibee meal! 🫰

Jokes aside, iKONICS were praised for the way they respected the members’ privacy by refusing to invade their personal space. They chose to not swarm them despite wanting to meet their bias group, thus ensuring that iKON did not feel overwhelmed.

As avid fans of iKON, it couldn’t have been easy to hold themselves back from asking for autographs and pictures, so their politeness was the subject of praise among fellow Pinoys. Thanks to them, the boys could freely enjoy their leisure time and roam around the Philippines without putting their guards up.
from airport arrival to random sitings around town, ikonics thank you for respecting their space and letting them enjoy their time 🫶🏽 https://t.co/xh1P7rx7cP
