Saw this on the Mblaq comm, still being "wtf" about this. And the all part about making pay the international fans? classy.

My god that is terrifying. They even attack foreigners? Not cool.

I wonder what these girls are going to do with their time when their oppas go off to the army. Do they just wait for two years or move on? I would imagine changing a bias in this culture is not easy and there's a lot of territorial boundaries.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

they probably would cross-dress as a man and enter the army just to stalk oppa

[nono-dono-k.livejournal.com]

Glad I didn't meet any sasaeng fans acting like this toward me when I went there, would hav ebeen so glad to slap them tbh

I just can't understand them.

"more mature fandom" l.o.l.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm glad you didn't experience that insanity!!!
But OT were fans nice to you in general?...

[stopjustlisten.livejournal.com]

jesus christ where the hell do they even learn all this gross ass weird behaviour it's disturbing on so many levels
what's wrong with them i'm so disgusted. it most probably won't happen but wish this clip could go viral or something so everyone can see how disturbing this is and then maybe korea would do something about their security and mental health system
so yuck

This is so messed up. Seriously terrifying.

[sonicphotonic.livejournal.com]

Dude they should just keep a production crew around every idol's dorms. Look how fast those saesangs ran.

Now I'm really scared...I'm an easy target! @_@

These little bitches need to be in jail. This shit is not okay. When people are breaking into your house, shitting and pissing in front of your door, stealing your phone and credit card records - I have no issue with anyone using physical methods of self defense.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

They're committing crimes and the Companies just think it's okay. No surprise since the abuse idols themselves, no wonder SM fandom were so okay with the slave Contracts, since they don't believe in individual rights.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I'm so scared for my friend who's going there in May :< But she's probably strong enough to knock ten of these bitches down at one go.

[janri.livejournal.com]

Haha that's what i'm saying. I'd like to see some of these little girls come at me. Show em what it's like to tangle with a Mexican.

That's the reason why going to Korea to visit or watch a concert without any knowledge on Korean language is quite dangerous. Most Koreans are scared of english-speaking people, but these sasaengs aren't exactly normal Koreans.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

but these sasaengs aren't exactly normal Koreans.

lol

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

which shocked me the most is that they even prostitute theirselves...why?!

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

ikr?:/

[eternalgarden7.livejournal.com]

who knows the fans can go this far, right? i mean this is SICK! i bet they have some kind of mental problem to actually those unthinkable things. when they are older, and looking back at their lives, they'd go "wtf am i thinking?" how could anyone skip school just to be around their idols? and spent a hell lots of money, even doing prostitution. nothing is sicker than this..

[waterpulse.livejournal.com]

Given how apparently some of TVXQ's sasaengs are well into their twenties (I think one of them interviewed was at least 24 and she'd been a sasaeng fan for years)...uhh I wouldn't count on them having an awakening of any kind. :(

[inori88.livejournal.com]

The more I know about them the more scared I get... Is so disturban.
May be they should have a production crew flowing them around. A taste of their own medicine and apparently the only thing that scare them

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

Same here. When I saw the production crew going towards the sasaengs outside the dorm, I got really scared. I had no clue what kinds of things they would do to not be recorded. I was surprised when they just left though.

[shikinluv.livejournal.com]

So fucking mental.

I don't think even an army of psychiatrists could help them.

[shikinluv.livejournal.com]

What I want to know is how this is airing on tv and yet the police do nothing. Legit crimes taking place in public and there are no consequences. Jfc.

I always thought Singapore's loitering laws were crazy but it seems like Korea needs them.

[weaselbee.livejournal.com]

can someone explain to me why these people dont get arrested?

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

Well, a) there's a lot of them, so arresting one or two doesn't really change much for an idol
b) most of what they do can't be documented as so-and-so broke into this apartment or hacked these phone records, the idols just know that "a sasaeng" did it
c) a lot of them are minors, so even if they get caught in the act they get off with a slap on the wrist

[quietreveries.livejournal.com]

soooo creepy :/

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

This is sick. And has that girl really said she's surprised this became an issue? What are you, stupid? JFC.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I "love" also when she says that the international fans should thank them.

Stupidity + no moral = deadly combination.

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

MY GOODNESS. PROSTITUTION.
also: poor normal fans

[johnnyquest89.livejournal.com]

damn.... them taxi drivers, smh. But, I guess it's to be expected.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I though we couldn't see a more dark side of Kpop with those idols getting mistreated by their own company but guess we found another level now. Everything is so tragic about Kpop now that the bubbly veil has gone away, I'm finding it more and more difficult to even enjoy the music. I guess it's one of those case where innocence lost it can't be regained.

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

And if the sasaengs are minors, then shouldn't the taxi drivers get in trouble for having sex with them? Can't someone get direct evidence of this or something? I don't see how taxi drivers can think this is ok.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I'm still of the opinion that Korean fan clubs should step up their game and boot off these cray cray stalkers from the events and fan club. And expose their details and contact their families. I mean how hard it can be when Internet exists, every cell phone has a cam, and fan clubs have 10 or 100 thousands of members to hunt these bitches down?!?

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

This makes me wonder if sasaengs outnumber the normal fans. How can a minority group (at least I'm hoping they are) have so much power over the other fans? Do they rope in their friends to gang up on the normal fans? I just want to understand how they work >:|

[huifenang.livejournal.com]

the reason why people hate the artiste.
sasaeng fans are obviously the cause of it. omg

[waterpulse.livejournal.com]

$704USD (800K won) TO RIDE A TAXI PER DAY?? EVERY SINGLE DAY??? JESUS WHY.

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

It's crazy. Add about 100$ and that's what my parents give me every month to pay the rent, eat and generally live while I'm at university. Those girls could get me through college instead of wasting their money chasing oppas, tbh.

[honeyflavor.livejournal.com]

This is so disturbing, it's making me sick.

[yami-no-hoshi.livejournal.com]

wtffffff
how does that girl have no self-awareness that what they are doing is wrong? it's pretty chilling.

[waterpulse.livejournal.com]

But the rest of them do know on some level, that's why they ran when the production crew tried to talk to them, right?
