One fan even lamented the size of the laser pen, noting that it was “as big as a 500 won coin.”

AllKpop collected some of the comments from fans condemning the act.

“Imagine buying tickets for a concert (they’d have to be pretty good, expensive ones), buying a laser pen, traveling all the way to the concert and back – going through all of this effort for a group they supposedly ‘hate’ just to do this??” one netizen wrote.

“Sick in the head. hope sm and the coordinators could protect them more,” an EXO fan expressed.

“Why the hell would anyone pay good money for concert tickets just to do something like this?! Pity Security didn’t catch them.” said another commenter.
