One of the most talked-about incidents happened right after the members left the airport. As RIIZE got into their car, a group of fans immediately surrounded the vehicle. In one particularly disturbing moment, a fan was seen pressing their phone directly against the car window to film the members inside.

Other clips show fans running after the car as it drove away from the airport, creating chaotic scenes outside.
The situation escalated further when additional videos showed fans following RIIZE’s vehicle in their own cars, driving alongside it while filming the members through the windows.
