In the latest episode of MBC’s “I Live Alone,” M.I.B‘s Kangnam surprised the viewers by expressing his gratitude towards his sasaeng fans.

While most idols are known to feel uncomfortable having overly obsessed fans follow them home, Kangnam revealed he is not bothered by their behavior.

“This is my first break in a while,” the idol said while resting at home and eating snacks. “Fans came to my house and handed me food like snacks and instant noodles,” he explained.

“Other idols have a hard time because of sasaengs, but for the past three years, I had no fans following me home. I feel happy because of my fans, and I am grateful for that,” Kangnam said, explaining how much the recent increase in his popularity means to him.

Meanwhile, “I Live Alone” featuring Kangnam airs on Fridays on MBC

I think he should differentiate between fans and sasaengs. It's not cute to glorify their behaviour.

He did not just said that.

Kangnam, darling, NO. Having fans and being grateful for them is one thing but giving them free license to invade your privacy and step beyond the acceptable sphere of idol-fan relationship is something that'llcome back to bite you in the ass

Maybe it's because he's never had them that he can't make out what's wrong here, but he'll probably be able to soon. :/
Or he just wants to keep his success that he's getting for the first time but nope, tell them to go home and do their homework!

I mean, I hope it was a mistranslation or something but still...no one should actually be coming to your home. It'd be different if they sent you things through your company...

You're in danger boy. Giving a free pass for lunatics?

I'm not too sure he's actually aware what real sasaengs are. Yet.

I had no fans following me home

Sounds more to me like he's happy about gaining more fans and that they're not sasaengs. I think the title is a bit misleading. But then eh, there's also the part about them going to his house - but he makes it sound like he invited them to do so. Hmmm.

The fans came to drop off some ramen and snacks after seeing how his living conditions were on the show I Live Alone.

bloop, rookie mistake. i get it, nobody knew who he was but now he's getting recognized and that first awesome feeling of being famous is starting to take ovah. but he better be careful of what he wishes for~~~

The minute he tries to distance himself from them in the future it's going to cause problems. These fans can be vindictive.

I think he's being very naive and these sound like concerned fans more so than sasaengs.

yes, he did say other groups have a hard time because of their sasaeng fans and that for three years he never had fans follow him. He didn't thank his sasaengs though?
He thanked the fans who came to visit him to his house to drop of ramen and snacks? He didn't say they were sasaengs. And i doubt they were

fans following you to your house ARE sasaengs and it's creepy as fuck, no matter how 'nice' they are.

Really? I thought it would take more than a one time drop off thing to be a sasaeng? Like those who break into houses, or install cctvs, or chase after the idols beyond their work schedules repetitively?

“Fans came to my house and handed me food like snacks and instant noodles,”
Those don't sound like the typical scary sasaengs tbh. They seem like nice people.

maybe casual fans who only give you food and they go away (?)

Probably. Another user pointed out they brought him food after seeing his living condition in "I live alone" so they sound like harmless people.

The title of the article is misleading, so it the opening by the writer.

Anyone know where I could watch his show with subs?

I think the use of the word sasaeng is wrong. His FANS giving him food and snacks, then going on their way don't classify as sasaeng, do they? Although it is too much to show up at someone's house, he seems grateful to have gained more fans, not glorifying sasaengs.

considering a lot of this was poor word choice on OPs part, the comments here seem overly harsh :/
