So netizens paid special attention to the viral clips from their attendance. Especially since at the event, photographers and journalists queued on both sides of the main floor, it was easier for fans to find out who disrespected them.
Hawkeyed netizens used their detective skills and discovered photographer Sean Zanni, an individual partaking in the rude comments. Shortly after, STAYs (Stray Kids fandom name) were quick to track down his Instagram account, which he immediately made private after facing backlash.

What must have happened was that a fan with deft hacking skills purchased his expired domain and made changes. Though the individuals kept themselves behind the screen, fans can’t help but think it justified since none of the paparazzi came forward with an apology despite the outrage.
