i don't understand how you can justify going to people's homes, following them and basically invading their privacy. a lot of these companies are too soft when it comes to this kind of behaviour (or worse) and they need to be more strict when it comes to protecting their artists.

Going to their house/building and trying to sit next to them on planes is ridiculous, but I don't get the issue with taking pictures of them at the airport. They're celebrities and the airport is a public place. It comes with the territory, no?

Is it an image thing? "Oh, you can't see us getting off the plane because we don't have makeup on!!" I don't get the issue there.

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

The "while it wasn't permitted" part sounds like Big Hit had a permitted picture time and then told the fans to leave them alone for a while and the fans didn't listen.

Just because they're idols doesn't mean they have to be accessible for pictures whenever they're in public.

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

Well no, they don't have to stop and take photos with fans, of course, but just taking photos of them from afar shouldn't be a problem. It's also not something they can control (though I don't know how the laws are in Korea).

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

If it had been from afar I doubt Big Hit would have made such a big deal (and it would have been awfully hard to collect their names and information). Unfortunately, I suspect these fans were mobbing them.

EDIT: From reading the fanclub's original posted rules, the part about no photography in airports/on planes is because they don't want to make any other passengers uncomfortable.

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay, then I agree with BH. If fans are given a time to take pictures then they need to respect the group when it's time for them to move on.

im honestly glad BigHit is trying to stomp this shit out now. Makes me wish SM had done the same for DBSK in the early days :(

[blueglassbeads.livejournal.com]

Damn, BigHit plays no games, I'm into it. Aren't they obnoxious as fuck once you get into the fanclub though?

[purpleglaceon]

When will any other company tbh

[doren-e.livejournal.com]

ze:a's leader himself made a huge post on the fancafe back in 2010 and from that point on the fandom began to be knewed by one of the most polite and gentle of the fandoms, wich still goes on; beast's yoseob also did the same and beautys became much better after that, so i guess more than the company, the idols themselfs should do it :/

[ckino (from livejournal.com)]

i like this. good job

[tterriffic.livejournal.com]

I hope they stick to these rules and make new ones if necessary. There is no such a thing as being too cautious when members' health and well being is concerned.

[treaclyena.livejournal.com]

i'm pleasantly surprised

[purpleglaceon]

Finally a company that does shit!

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

YESSSS! THANK YOU BIG HIT FOR NOT ENABLING SASAENGS! THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!

Big Hit may have its share of stupidity, as all companies do, but I'm so glad this is something they are firm about. I hope they continue to be this way. I can't thank them enough for making this statement and giving actual consequences. They're doing more than the freaking police right now, and I love it.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

this sounds like a good idea
in the other hand it's kinda sad they need to make rules for those so called fans
some points are common sense and ... idk good manners ?
i hope this work for them

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

this is WONDERFUL

so clear and concise and no nonsense

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

ikr? i like how straight to the point this is

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Bighit annoys the hell out of me with most of their rules but I'm glad they're actually doing something about sasaengs and blacklisting them.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

finally BigHit doing something right, i hope they actually enforce this because it's important.

[viakyusu.livejournal.com]

Yeees Bighit set these delulu fans straight!!

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

well at least theyre doing something right

[layna.livejournal.com]

Hey SM, TAKE NOTES.

[fancy-sheets.livejournal.com]

Does the company run the fan club? I always assumed some uber fan was appointed to do that.

[peachdrug.livejournal.com]

Most official fancafes/fanclubs are controlled by the company.

[burningleaf.livejournal.com]

W O W

major props bighit no bs detected

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Finally a company that refuses to deal with this sasaeng fuckery

[iamtheliquorr.livejournal.com]

hey nice icon (ia though)

[torontok.livejournal.com]

lmao I think 90% of my icons now are made by you.Icon fairy <3!

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

good job, bighit!

[iamtheliquorr.livejournal.com]

i hope more companies follow bighit's example

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

Clock them. Put them all in the burn book hun

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

Big Hit is not here for that shit. Everyone else needs to take notes!

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

I'd be dammed if some fanclub took my passport but great ideas on everything els.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

yes go bighit go!!!

[citrine047.livejournal.com]

This post is a bit late? Not that im complaining
Big hit is doing their part in protecting the kids, but apparently some fans have issues with the company getting ID numbers (and the like) of these blacklisted fans for nondisclosed purposes, AND without written commitment that they will be treating these information with due care and protection. i smell privacy breach

but i gotta give them props for always calling the fans' attention, cos while i dont think bangtan has serious sasaeng problems, the Taipei airport situation still got out of hand

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Ground rules with actual consequences for violating them. Good on Bighit.

[sikania.livejournal.com]

I'm gald BH is trying to do something to prevent creepy behaviors (if this isn't creepy enough yet...)
These situations are so sad, they are persons too and need privacy, I guess going to see them at the airport it's cool if they respect their personal space, but going to their office, hotels, apartments or even sitting next to them in the airplane just to talk to them is too much...
SO I think a lot of people may complain about BH being too strict but all this wouldn't be necessary if "fans" respected idols privacy

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

All the companies should do this.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

I'm so impressed with Big Hit for doing this

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

This is nice and well good for them. I hope this helps them keep the fancazy in check.
I want to be the one collecting and making a BURN BOOK of fans hahaha No privileges for you!

[vermicelli-rice.livejournal.com]

I am really happy to see their firm stance on this. 'Bout time more companies followed suit

[addicted-tvxq.livejournal.com]

THANK GOD.

ELIMINATING CERTAIN SAESANGS GROUP BY GROUP.
