Fans noticed that some paparazzi acted rudely towards the members and also made offensive comments. One photographer was heard saying that the K-pop idols had the most emotionless faces and another remarked that they looked like robots. When the group did their outfit reveal, the first also exclaimed, "Now, let’s do it with feeling!".
Another also asked them to jump as they yelled, "Everybody jump.". A paparazzi was also heard saying, "How do you say right in Korean?" as they assumed that the members don't speak English, coming off as ignorant.
