Winter from the group Espa appeared in tears after being harassed by sasaeng fans who kept calling her during the live broadcast.
On the 13th, Winter had time to communicate with fans through Weverse live broadcast. However, the broadcast was temporarily interrupted several times due to numerous phone calls from sasaeng fans during the broadcast. Winter tried to ignore this at first, but eventually couldn't stand the constant harassment from Sasaeng fans and said with a straight face, "Everyone, don't call me." Afterwards, he complained of frustration, saying, “If I make a phone call, the live broadcast is cut off.” In response, fans expressed both sadness and surprise, saying, “This is the first time I’ve seen Winter so angry,” and “Stop bullying Winter.”
This sasaeng fan problem is emerging as a problem not only for Winter but also for many celebrities. For example, singer Kim Jaejoong from the group TVXQ suffered greatly from the atrocities of sasaeng fans. Kim Jaejoong appeared on 'Late Night Ghost Stories' on the 21st and said, "I had an experience where a sasaeng fan came on top of me and kissed me while I was sleeping. I think the scariest thing is people," and shared the story of a sasaeng fan he personally experienced in the past. It was. The cast members who heard this were shocked by the extreme atrocities of the sasaeng fan. Jeong Eun-ji also took legal action after a fan sent her a text message saying, "Will you accept me as your butler and companion?" and stalked her, causing further infringement on her privacy.
In addition, there are many celebrities who complain of pain due to sasaeng fans who do not hesitate to commit excessive acts in the name of being fans, such as coming to their homes or secretly breaking into their homes and threatening to kill them. It is said that stars exist for their fans. However, it is not something that fans can do as they please.
