A viral video of a man being physically too close to BINI’s Aiah at a bar has sparked outrage and concern from fans and netizens.
The incident occurred at a bar in Cebu, Barrio Bar & Lounge, which was identified in circulating clips on various social media platforms.
An X user, @notpeupeu7, reshared a clip from TikTok showing a video taken at a bar where the Cebuana member can be seen visiting with her companions.
Aiah was initially accompanied by bodyguards at the entrance of the establishment but was left in the company of her companions as she went inside the bar where she was welcomed by other bar-goers.
However, upon watching the video, fans took notice of an individual who took Aiah by surprise after he got too close to her face and appeared to be recording the moment with his phone.
The uploader also expressed her anger over the encounter, writing in the caption, “Nagulat si Aiah, walang respeto. Know your limits people.”
The user also called out the lack of security for the artist.
