It wasn't until a couple of weeks since I heard of Sasaeng fans, I know, it's pretty late for a so called k-pop fan. I watched a few videos tonight, and I thought I should make a post about this because it is so utterly crazy! So, what are Sasaeng fans? Sasaeng fans are people that are stalking and are overly obsessed with their korean idols. They follow their idols every move, stays and waits outside the buildings they are in, they even break in their buildings meets the idols, take sneaky photos of them, touches them at inapropiate places, some does even steal their underwear or leave their underwear to their idol. So cray, cray. In other words, they intrude Korean Idols private life. They use so many different methods to keep track on their favourite idols.
This gif could explain a Sasaeng fan:
Saesang fans even calls themselves Saesang fans and they don't like "normal fans" and especially not foreign fans.They're pretty much ready to do everything so their favourite celebrity will notice them, they even attack other normal fans so they will get attention.
There are even Sasaeng taxis. Sasaeng taxis follows the Korean idols, like a car chase. Let's say a Sasaeng fan will know when a celebrity will appear somewhere, they'll call and order the cab, so when the celebrity leaves they'll follow them. They're pretty expensive also, so if a Sasaeng fan can't afford the cab-ride they'll sell their body just to afford the ride. Prostitution with other words - still, crazy. Stories about celebrity incidents with Sasaeng fans.
