Sasaengs united is one of the scariest things that K-Pop idols can face.
They infiltrate the private lives of celebrities to their satisfaction. One would believe that companies would take immediate action against all these individuals, but that's not always the case.
GOT7's Youngjae is a celebrity that has been weeping over for ages for assistance from sasaeng followers.
In the last few years, Youngjae has been begging sasaeng followers to leave him, yet no one listened. Several supporters have been condemning JYP Entertainment for failing to take appropriate measures against those sasaeng fans.
Here's a glimpse at some of the problematic encounters that Youngjae has undergone in the last few years.
Youngjae has shared his disappointment several times with sasaeng supporters in 2018. On one occasion, he shared on social media demanding sasaeng fans to stop sending Kakaotalk messages to him, as he's already had enough.
A few months later, when sasaeng fans started to taunt him with messages, he had to put up another update. Several hackers started selling and revealing his contact details, which is why numerous sasaeng fans were able to contact him personally.
Youngjae had to ask sasaeng supporters once more in 2019 to respect and value his privacy, as they continually abused him.
"Please refrain from calling me whether you are a Korean or a foreigner. If you don't want me to go insane, quit calling me at any time of the day. I can't get to sleep, because I'm going crazy? Concern? Do you call me and give me messages because you're so concerned about me? This causes me extra discomfort, so avoid doing it, already."
Youngjae previously conveyed his disappointment at a sasaeng fan who had invaded his personal space. In a social media post, he voiced out his concern of how a sasaeng fan snapped a picture of him without his consent, then questioned him if she could upload it.
"Don't head to the shops. And that is a threat? Without my approval, you can't just take a picture of me talking with other individuals in a cafe and then question me, Am I allowed to post this?"
Youngjae then wrote another thread with the problem indicating his anger and frustration.
"If you want to see the life of a person destroyed, go further and upload it."
Throughout the years, several supporters have also been reaching out to JYP Entertainment for their negligence to defend not just Youngjae but all GOT7 members.
