Ganito ang naging reaksiyon ng fans ng K-pop boy group na Enhypen o mas kilala sa tawag na "Engenes" ang kanilang pagkadismaya tungkol sa insidenteng nangyari sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

Ngayong Lunes ng umaga, February 6, 2023, trending sa Twitter ang “#MIAAdoBetter,” matapos kumalat ang TikTok video na kuha ng isang fan kung saan makikita ang isang security ng NAIA na kinakapkapan ang ilang miyembro ng Enhypen.
Pabalik na ng South Korea ang grupo matapos ang kanilang three-day sold-out Manifesto World Tour in Manila na ginanap noong February 3 to 5, 2023 sa SM Mall of Asia sa Pasay.
Sa viral video, makikitang nakangiti at tila kinikilig ang babaeng security habang isinasagawa ang “body frisking” na bahagi ng security screening sa airport.
Marami sa Enhypen fans ang hindi natuwa at tila nabastusan sa inasal ng security guard.
Tweet ng isang fan (published as is), “Nakakahiya maging Pilipino kung ganito lang gagawin niyo. Proper work ethics where? Professionalism where? Bakit ganito mga staffs niyo? Bakit ganyan yung nagiinspec, why is she smiling like that? Is that how it really supposed to be done? No right.”
Ilan pa sa mga ito ay tinawag na “unprofessional” ang mga empleyado ng NAIA dahil bukod sa pagkapkap ay may mga nakatagong kamera pa raw na kumukuha ng video habang papasok sa loob ng paliparan ang K-pop boy group na mahigpit daw na ipinagbabawal.
Saad ng isa, “This really shows why NAIA is labeled as the worst aiport in the world. They are just too low from being unprofessional to harassing someone.”
Sabi pa ng isa, “These aiports staff from NAIA are very unprofessional they did nothing but ruin the image of the Philippines for the boys from arrival to departure. The issue needs to be addressed asap, like seriously they never learn at all.”
May ilan ding nanawagan sa Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) na agad bigyang pansin ang insidente.
Panawagan ng isang Enhypen fanbase page, “As a fanbase, we saw our fandom do everything to make the boys feel comfortable here yet the staffs at the airport that the boys has to see the moment they come and go in the Philippines repeatedly disappoint and show unprofessional behavior.
Dagdag pa nila, “As you guys may know, we message MIAA regarding the hidden filming of the boys in the aiport last February 1. We still didn’t get any response but here we are, some staff showed another unprofessional behavior. Rest assured, we’ll message and email them right now.”
Saad pa ng isa, “Taking advantage of her job and making the boys uncomfortable will NEVER be okay. Please have some decency and professionalism. MIAA takes action.”
OFFICE FOR TRANSPORTATION SECURITY STATEMENT
Agad ding naglabas ng pahayag ang pamunuan ng Office for Transportation Security (OTS) kaugnay sa insidente.
Ayon sa kanila, iimbestigahan nila ang nangyari at hindi nila kailanman kukunsintihin ang anumang unprofessional behavior sa bawat pampublikong transportasyon.
Narito ang kabuuang statement na inilabas nila sa kanilang Facebok page:
“It has come to the attention of the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) that there is a video circulating on social media, showing that airport Security Screening Officers allegedly exhibited unprofessional behavior and the unwarranted filming during the conduct of security screening procedures on a group of departing Korean artists at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
“The management is currently investigating the matter to determine the extent of violation committed based on existing rules and security screening protocols if any, and impose appropriate administrative sanctions, should it be necessary.
“While we understand the excitement brought about by the presence of these Korean artists, we remind not only our personnel, but all airport users, that unauthorized filming at our security screening checkpoints is not allowed as a matter of policy.
“Rest assured that the OTS shall never tolerate any unprofessional behavior towards the riding public.”
