He first wrote on his Facebook, "Today you stepped on at least 10 people's feet, knocked down their luggage, and crashed into them. It's because you weren't looking at your surroundings and had your eyes fixed behind the viewfinder. People will conclude that it was an action done by a Shinhwa fan. Please don't bring shame to Shinhwa fans. You have displeased a lot of people today," along with a photo of the sasaeng fan mentioned in the post.
The photo showed the sasaeng fan holding up a camera to her face with her eyes fixed inside the viewfinder, unaware that Dongwan would post her photo on social media.
Since his initial posting, many fans joined in on criticizing the girl in the photo for her behavior. Seeing that the issue was veering off from his initial intention, Dongwan proceeded to take down his post and followed with an official apology.

The official apology read, "I heard that a lot of people on Weibo are making personal attacks on the girl (in the photo). This was not my intention. It is my fault that I inadvertently posted the photo."
Dongwan went on to reveal that he likewise loves taking photos and when he first started his hobby, he would take photos without getting permission.
He said, "It's hard to understand that you would displease your model, even from a photographer's point of view.. Don't you want to capture the happy moments? I wasn't able to greet many of my fans who came out to the airport because of the girl. That part was what made me angry. If you don't know, then please watch what others are doing around you and what kind of rules they are keeping. The reason people go wild about soccer or baseball is that there are rules. Please don't ruin the rules of the game."
Currently, the initial post has been erased on Dongwan's official Facebook, but the photo of the ill-mannered fangirl is still circulating around on forums.
What are your thoughts on Dongwan's statement against the girl?
