(click to view larger - can anyone make out what it says?)

[JAEHYO] I'm thankful you love us but this is too scary

[KYUNG] I don't know how they know where our dorm is, but we were shocked to see graffiti on our door about two weeks ago.. and now there is even someone ringing the bell or calling and then running away.. Please bees, I'm pleading with you.

[ZICO] Our dorm door

It gives me the creeps Please stop right now

[ZICO] Dragging the member's attention and receiving a public warning message, is that a medal or do you feel a sweet sense of achievement?

what's the popcorn covering up???

[xx-pinkstar.livejournal.com]

could be names maybe?

Holy fuck, sasaengs are (still) terrifying. I am relieved to see that that's their door, apparently -- on first glance, it looked like the tiling on a shower/bath wall and I was like 'the fuck they managed to get inside here too?'.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Thought it was a bathroom wall as well. Fuck, having strangers loitering around outside your house/apartment is already terrifying enough.

The things written on the door:

Super Junior < Big Bang < *some other groups* < Block B
The stick figures are of Zico, Taeil and Pyo and the rest essentially just say stuff life Block B jjang

Man this is just really creepy

Super Junior < Big Bang < *some other groups* < Block B

Omg you're right lmao /dead/

[jack-o-hyung.livejournal.com]

That's horrible!!!

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Ssaengs are terrible

[torontok.livejournal.com]

What the fuck...
I'd disable the doorbell and phone lines tbh.These guys work hard enough, their few hours of peace shouldn't be ruined by creeps

[hippodameia.livejournal.com]

Well, that's kind of terrifying. I think Block B has had a problem with sasaengs for a while. I don't think it's anywhere as bad as what EXO has had to deal with, but that doesn't make it excusable. A week or so ago Zico tweeted about a bunch of sasaengs that had followed him to his studio again and asked them to stop.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah thanks for bringing that tweet up

For anyone who's curious:

[ZICO] If restrictions appear at the studio and furthurmore into my life, that will become a not so small inconvienience in the future production for all of Block B's music.
I really can't understand the action of coming here, then apologizing saying you are sorry for thoughtlessly visiting. Please do the right thing.

I would be terrified, if I were one of them. Their dorm can't feel safe with sasaeng going around like that...
I really can't understand this sasaeng culture. Why would you devote your life to make your idol feel miserable? That's so unhealthy. I'm sorry Block B also have to deal with this.

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

This is really upsetting. I'm glad that they're calling it out, but Zico definitely asks the real question.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

ugh horrible. poor Block B.

[paper-palms.livejournal.com]

I was kind of unsure about Jaehyo and Kyung's tweets because of how... nice (? I'm not sure which word to use, but it's not exactly "nice") they were, but really I'm not even sure if there's a proper way to address these sasaengs in general. Polite or firm, it seems like the approaches don't even affect them. I just wish there was a way to properly /deal/ with all of this. This "culture" of sorts is just monstrously disgusting.

But, anyways, "[ZICO] Dragging the member's attention and receiving a public warning message, is that a medal or do you feel a sweet sense of achievement?"

^I felt a weird sense of "yeah, you tell that asshole!" through that tweet after reading the other members' less firm messages. (Again, not saying if either approach is less right than the other. Mainly because I'm not sure.)

it kind of reminds me of that story that Yesung from SJ told about how a sasaeng fan got into their apartment and wrote stuff on their walls too (I think that's why she did) and Yesung was mean to her and told her to get out and on her way out, Sungmin waved goodbye to her all nicely lol

but in all seriousness it sucks bc if you're rude or mean, people will criticize the idol but if you're nice, it only enables the stalker fan. Its sad bc its really only a matter of time before an idol explodes on one of these sasaengs :/

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

the worst thing about this is that companies do nothing.
instal cameras to caught who are doing this, lawsuits or, at least, make some proper noise at press.. it seems that companies don't want to upset them because of fear of the consequences (they buy their stuff and go to concerts, music recordings, etc) and their artists become hostages of this crazy people.

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

It's also because a number of them are underage and they can't actually do anything like charge them for it. It certainly doesn't mean that they can't beef up security (lol) or anything, but they won't :|

[viakyusu.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what do these sasasengs get out of stalking them?! I feel bad for them...like they can't even get any privacy.

[sayuai.livejournal.com]

Sasaengs are a blight on humanity

Zico serves it straight up. Jaehyo, I love you, but you need to tell those people to GTFO.

I wish companies would do something about shit like this, it's terrifying.

[sikania.livejournal.com]

noooo I though bbc fandom wouldn't have to face with sasaengs
it's really creepy when they do such things, poor boys I hope it doesn't get worst

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

mte. bbcs have been such a nice bunch so far, I'm a bit upset.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

To me, being a sasaeng fan seems to be almost an mental thing or something. Like, extreme delusion. These girls seem to think that they're just being a fan and showing their devotion, but they've completely removed themselves from the reality of the situation. It just blows my mind that SO many people have this mindset.

[fukkthedumbshyt.livejournal.com]

It sure does suck having to constantly ask someone to stop doing something really f*cked up and they keep at it. That drives me crazy.

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

icu

[prayz.livejournal.com]

retarded

[metafictionally]

yoooo let's not do that :\

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

gosh. imagine you go home and see that on your door. must be pretty creepy. i guess her was too good, sucked in all sorts of people to the block b fandom.

the fact that they say anything about saesangs is much more than what most groups do, but it's not enough.

[taecsex.livejournal.com]

While yes this is creepy and weird, I have a question to ask....

Is the bad part about the visiting the home, or is the bad part about writing on the walls?
Would you still consider it creepy if a fan left a post it note on the door saying "fighting!!!" or something of the sorts? Because it seems to me that dorm location is not that secretive of a thing among fans?

I'm not justifying it, just curious about y'all opinions.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I feel like no matter the intent, the action is still really inappropriate. I'd feel like I was being watched 24/7 if fans came to my dorm even if it was just to leave a nice message or a gift. Knowing where an idol lives doesn't give them the right to actually go there. I'd imagine it must be annoying for the other residents too to constantly have unwanted people hanging around outside your house.

[metafictionally]

it's not the first incident, but it's been a while since the last one iirc? even though Block B has always had a few sasaengs I think our issues have been fairly understated especially compared to other groups... I think maybe partially to do with just how intense BBC are as a fandom lmao. like they have zero tolerance for bullshit, which is good in some ways and bad in others.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Horrible.

[girltragedy.livejournal.com]

The boys have been looking kind of out of it at their recent performances; I wonder if sasaengs have anything to do with that? This is such an upsetting and creepy situation to be in. I can't understand how anyone could ever think, "yes, this is a good idea."

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Boundaries ppl, learn them.

[keyutie.livejournal.com]

holy shit??? How is this legal? Isnt this breaking and entering? Why are sasaengs still a thing? Why havent they been jailed???

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

Mte. I don't get it either, why can't they sue them? They obviously stalk them, and reports like them entering the dorms/houses of idols have occurred before.

Do companies not want to sue them? Is it too much work? Is there no legal ground? Surely this puts a lot of mental stress on their employees, why don't they care?
