Even in the Kpop community where people have already been used to sasaeng fans, whenever
talking about them, people still show considerable impotence meshed with anger and depression
as regardless of measurements taken to prevent them from approaching idols, they will still
persist like cockroaches, figuring out one way or another to be around famous names in
a hope of completing the romantic fantasies going on in their head.
Most recently, things sasaeng dare to do have been pushed to the next level and while some
have decided to straight up call out the questionable actions, there are also idols who are so despondent
that they had to go on livestream and literally begged the crazy fans to stop.
Sasaengs broke into NCT’s Haechan’s house
Probably after a thorough review of the artists’ activities and their fandom health amid the
management drama with HYBE, SM Entertainment has released an untold story about Haechan
being followed by a sasaeng fan up to his house.
That explains why everything had already happened back in November 2022 but information about
this incident was just released on March 6 this year.
According to the announcement of SM Entertainment, though this crazy fan seemingly knew that
Haechan has been living with his family, she still tracked down and broke into his house,
which obviously ended up leaving both Haechan and his family in a horrifying situation.
Actually, there are chances that Haechan wouldn’t be in shook that much because when NCT was
in the States back to a few years ago, the act’s private bus had already been invaded
by sasaengs but regarding his family, who aren’t used to living in the limelight and
interacting with crazy fans, this experience was nothing but traumatic.
Imagine seeing a stranger in the house and that stranger wasn’t even aiming at possessions
but a specific person, which was a talented son in Haechan’s family case, netizens said
his parents and sister must have been terrified.
In fact, SM Entertainment has also partly confirmed netizens’ assumptions as according
to the statement, Haechan’s family has been suffering from dramatic psychological trauma.
However, when this sasaeng fan was indicted by SM Entertainment, Haechan decided to drop
the case and not even charge the girl for any penalties.
However, the company still made it clear at the end of the announcement that those who
were planning the same foolish act had better stop immediately as this only dispersed terrifying
memories for the artists rather than left a positive impression on the idols.
Sasaengs clinging to NCT everywhere As internationally famous as NCT is, not only
Haechan but the group as a whole has also frequently fallen victim to the creepy chasings
of sasaeng fans and fast forward just a few days prior to SM Entertainment’s announcement,
people also noticed how one sasaeng fan even managed to walk right behind Mark and Johnny
in NCT 127’s content.
The latest episode of Johnny’s Communication Center (JCC) was about how NCT 127 had spent
time together going snowboarding and while SM Entertainment often blurred out their staff’s
identity to ensure their privacy, fans noticed the company didn’t even bother to hide the
face of a blonde hair girl.
This immediately garnered attention of NCTzens as SM Entertainment has never been so careless
but as soon as some research was done, they found out that the girl whose name is J.H,
has been a long-term sasaeng fan of NCT.
Watching the video, many said this girl freaked them out for being unimaginably brazen-faced
as not only did she walk in proximity behind the members but also pridefully looked straight
into the camera as if she was creating history with such a shameless action.
Some even found out that this girl also brought along her friends and they had already been
lingering around the member like from their hotel.
However, J.H later responded on Twitter that she wasn’t a creepy sasaeng fan and though
it was true that she was at the snowboarding place on the same day with NCT 127, she only
came to enjoy herself.
She also brought up the fact that she could still attend the act’s concerts and events
had already proven her innocent and had she been a sasaeng fan, there would be no way
SM Entertainment hadn’t put her on the blacklist.
J.H was so shamelessly hallucinating that when NCTzens called her out, she even thanked
people who kept her updated about the whole situation and clapped back at those who criticized
her, implying that SM Entertainment’s managers and security guards had let them approach
NCT 127.
Still, NCTzens, and especially international fans who had been there to support NCT 127’s
foreign promotions, said the completely opposite things.
According to them, J.H was one of the most severely crazy fans of NCT 127 and despite
her claim of having never bothered the members, she was caught chasing Taeyong at one hotel
before.
Her sickening obsession with the member was said to have already started since 2019 and
regardless of the fierce criticism and even violent threats on Twitter, J.H.
has still been lingering around NCT like a parasite.
Sasaengs tracked down and gathered at Jungkook’s gym
March of 2023 was indeed an unforgettable month for many Kpop fans as just two days
prior to SM Entertainment’s announcement about Haechan’s sasaeng fan, Jungkook also
went on a livestream and literally begged sasaeng fans to let him live like a human.
As said by fans, Jungkook seemed extremely when talking about how these crazy people
traced him down to the gym and while it was wrong of them to invade his privacy, Jungkook
probably felt so impotent that he had to beg them to stop rather than taking legal actions
as most artists because he knew this would work.
However, as ARMYs found out, this sasaeng fan was even worse than their imagination
as besides leaking the gym that he often went to, she also spread rumors about Jungkook’s
dating and hinted that the proof was how there was another girl close to him at that moment.
Then, she went on Instagram and acted like a hero who helped ARMYs updated about all
truths related to BTS, aka the romantic life of Jungkook in this case, and said they would
“rarely find someone” who would give them facts the way she did.
This crazy fan even acted noble and sober, clapping back at those who criticized her
that she didn’t chase Jungkook for any fantasies, she neither loved him nor tried to make him
love her, she was simply a sasaeng who would help others “know more about Jungkook”
and so, people should stop ‘spreading false rumors” about her.
At this point, barely anyone could understand the way her brain functioned and while people
were triggered, they also knew they were helpless as they couldn’t talk logic to a person
who didn’t even know what logic was.
That’s why even non-fans felt bad for Jungkook because he also seemed to understand nothing
could be done to fix the sasaeng fan’s behaviors and because regular measures like taking legal
actions would hardly work, he had to beg her to stop as he was a human with feelings too.
Sasaengs leaked RM’s information for three years straight
As mentioned, March was a terrifying month for Kpop fans as besides Jungkook, RM has
also fallen victim to the malicious act of sasaeng fans.
On March 1, ARMYs spread the saesang alert about how an employee of Korail, a famous
national rail pass in South Korea, was able to access RM’s train ticketing as well as
personal information for three years straight.
RM was so angry about the news that despite usually being calm and collected, he still
posted an Instagram story announcing to fans that he was done dirty by an employee of the
most reliable rail pass in the country.
Responding to the incident, this employee, who would be referred to as A, denied being
a sasaeng fan and said A only did that out of curiosity.
However, not many people bought into those words as throughout three years since 2019,
the person had invaded RM’s personal information including phone number and residential addresses
eighteen times.
As if doing that wasn’t terrible enough, A even leaked this information to friends
so that they could book seats close to him.
While it remained unclear if A’s friends had ever tried to contact RM through his phone
number and dropped by his house, such actions of A were already enough for her to face severe
penalties.
Plus, though eighteen privacy invasions might appear to justify A's temporary curiosities,
fans said had it not been for the two-year lock down caused by COVID-19, the number could
have been way bigger.
Sasaengs entering Boys Planet trainees’ dorm
While Boy Planet 999 hasn’t finished, certain names have been said to have a fixed debut
ticket for having a solid fandom already.
Among them, Han Yu Jin, a ‘07 liner, was a bright face but unfortunately for him, coming
hand in hand with such thriving popularity was also an immense threat to his safety.
As new problems require new solutions, physically chasing idols to certain places is already
deemed a rather outdated method as in the case of Han Yu Jin, who was seemingly followed
to the private studio of STUDIO CHOOM by a drone controlled by a sasaeng fan.
The top-down angle was one of the most solid proofs leading to this conclusion and when
seeing such photos of him leaked outside, people were all shook to see how devious sasaeng
fans could become.
Sadly, this wasn’t the first time Han Yu Jin was plagued as ever since his appearance
in Boys Planet 999, his past friendships and relationships were also sounded out by crazy
delulus.
While rumor had it that Han Yu Jin’s girlfriend exposed everything herself, others believed
it was sasaeng fans who had rummaged his social media accounts to spread
those photos.
In fact, not only Han Yu Jin but many contestants of Boys Planet 999 have also encountered sasaeng
fans despite having not debuted yet as just a few days ago, an insider source revealed
that the boys’ dorm was broken into by a crazy delulu.
Considering the fact that many of the contestants were just juniors, netizens have expressed
concerns about their mental health, hoping they wouldn’t suffer much from such traumatizing
experiences and would learn how to self-protect in case of unfortunate things happened again.
Surprisingly, the safety of Han Yu Jin was still talked about most in the comment section
as among all the boys on the show, he was the only one that had “a dedicated group
of supporters.”
Because such a thing had already happened during Produce-X101, people were even more
triggered now as MNET had seemingly done nothing to protect their own contestants.
Yet, explaining this negligence, one netizen claiming to work in the entertainment industry
said that people couldn’t really blame MNET as security concerns were taken pretty lightheartedly
unless the artists were on something with a huge budget or contained on a studio backlot.
As sasaeng fans’ brains work in such a ridiculously illogical way, do you think there will ever
be effective measures to stop them from lingering around idols like parasites?
