The transcript shows Elordi explicitly redirected the photographer to West Hollywood to seek out individuals who actively consent to being papped for financial gain. This suggests he understands the commercial mechanics of the industry while attempting to maintain a strict boundary for his own private life and his pets. It is a rare example of a celebrity acknowledging the photographer's job as a bid for income while still refusing to participate.

It is interesting to note that his refusal to engage actually led to a polite resolution rather than a confrontation. If you find yourself being recorded or photographed without consent, remaining calm and stating your refusal clearly can sometimes prevent the situation from escalating into a more aggressive encounter.
