In their tweet, MBC News revealed that they had never encountered a sight like this, where droves of fans waited for a celebrity outside of an interview.
We have interviewed actors after their drama ended, but we have never seen this many people surround the interview site.
— MBC
The author of the post then writes that these were Sasaeng fans who had done something similar the day before. Sasaeng fan is a term used to describe stalkers who follow celebrities’ every move.
This is the same group of people that were acting like Sasaengs yesterday and today. The interview was a private schedule but I think they bought the information. Yesterday, Yonhap News said something similar, that they had never seen so many people (at an interview site).
— Netizen
Netizens criticized the Sasaengs and likened them to stalkers.
- “Sasaengs are not fans. They are stalkers. Don’t pay them any attention.”
- “His head must hurt.”
- “Why are you bringing up idol Sasaengs? Sasaengs are all the same, regardless of whether they stalk actors or idols.”
- “Do Sasaengs not have a life? They don’t even seem human.”
- “I mean, you’re telling me this many people showed up to a private interview? I don’t think even idols have that many Sasaengs. This is insane.”
- “There are so many fans obsessed with Lovely Runner… I feel bad for the actress in his next drama.”
- “Wooseok ㅠㅠ. You must be so exhausted.”
- “I don’t know why we call them Sasaengs. They are just stalkers.”
- “They are society’s evil.”
- “I feel like we’re back in the H.O.T. era.”
- “Sasaeng X Stalkers O”
- “Oh, these stalkers.”
