I always say this to sasaengs. If the idols really wanted you, by now they would of exchanged details in some way. And we all know they dont want you because if you did exchange details you would not be spending 85% of your life following all these people taking photos. So like please come to reality and do something that makes you genuinely happy, not obsessed. They are two very different emotions.

It's honestly a shame for both the idols and the fans. 99% of people they meet are either these guys or drop shippers who take advantage of fans who don't know any better or can't afford shipping, etc. We all know the boys get so much more out of meeting genuine fans (not just people who have a lot of money/are hopping on a trend) and so many fans drop so much money (as an Atiny that has been dropping good money on the fansigns for 4 years) so it would be nice for everyone to get one experience rather than the idols having to see the same person at every fansign acting like they're best friends. I just wish there were more chances for other fans to meet them, especially those that don't have money but do everything else they can 🥺

If saesangs put all their energy into a career, they might actually catch an idol's eye.

It's slightly off-topic but I never understood the "you can't have the same bias as me" mentality. Like??? When I was at the Ateez concert last year, I made friends with a girl whose bias was Wooyoung (he was my wrecker, but after the concert he graduated to top 3 lmao) and it was SO FUN TO FANGIRL WITH HER. I love the fact that my sister and I both bias Yuqi in (G)I-DLE. One of my bestie ults Baekhyun and her 2nd bias is Sehun - my EXO bias is Sehun and Baek is a wrecker. It works out perfectly because we can both scream at the same pictures and clips lmao It's much better do fangirl together. Being friends with people who love the same artists? Fun.

I used to ALWAYS look for people who have same biases as so i can brag about how great and talented they are and they'd add more. But my closest friend started to compete with me about that biases and she legit have her own ults but she'd make it in a weird way especially since all she points out is how hot and sexy when thats usually the last thing i mention but rather how much they mean to me. Also she'd emphasizes with "MY" a lot so i started doing it because it was getting under my skin and i did actually confront her and told her that's too delulu and not healthy but i can tell it's the way she is and I honestly love her so much and so does but yk nobody is perfect. Overall i love having friends who have same biases as mine but with the type of person like my friend i rather not because it can ruin my experience. Since i legit at one point stopped talking about my main ult who's from a group she doesn't stan but she'd always say delulu stuff seeing him as incredibly hot man and i personally hate objectifying IDOLS and only acknowledge them for THAT. I'm sorry this was long but i just wanted to share this because its annoying and wanna see if anyone went through something similar. Oh! And btw the reason we've became best friends i legit approached her because we had the same ult from nct. Like clearly i was looking for my people

I just started watching but wtf. Jisung has really bad anxiety and you can see it in some videos in airports where he's holding one of his members, keeping his head down, headphones in and mouthing words to a song he's listening to. the boy was only 14 when he debuted. he's still pretty young, but he wasn't able to grow up that well. Jisung has said he has anxiety and gets anxious when mobbed. There's a specific video I remember where he's holding tightly onto Lele's backpack. His head was down and his hat was hiding 40% of his face. He was listening to music and muttering the words to himself. It made me so fcking angry. The poor boy deserves to be worry free of sasaengs but unfortunately, he is not. NCT sasaengs are some of the worst sasaengs next to BTS sasaengs. (from what I've seen, I of course don't know every sasaeng story for all groups pls lmk) 6:19 is that NANA??? 22:48 Jisung is definitely uncomfortable.

looking at the location where she stalked them, she must have tons of money

I CANT WITH THE PAPA'S SONG ON THE BACKGROUND

I've only just watched the beginning of the video but the idols they interact with send shivers down my spine: Enhypen, NMIXX both have pretty young members who are minors / just became adults; depending on when they started liking NCT / Dream and how many members of the group they like there are also minors included, and the most concerning ones IMO are Woongki since he doesn't really have a company anymore since last year due to him finally leaving WakeOne (who sucks) and zb1 where they literally post a minor (Yunjin) and overall the fact that they seem to like BoysPlanet which had quite a bunch of minors and contestants without protection in form of a company is terrifying I don't know which one scares me more: them liking groups with minors / the minors themselves whilst being a stalker or the fact that they seem to like people from companies that suck in terms of idol protection (W1, SM), very small companies or just straight up don't have any protection from any group (Woongki, potentially more BP999 contestants of which the youngest are '07 and '08 liners) I really don't get how someone can be that disgusting Edit: Why does Yunjin have to be one of her favourite idols? The kid already got to hear enough, he doesn't need another person who's prolly obsessed with him calling them "Noona" and he also doesn't need more stress with a stalker It's disgusting how someone can do smth like that, especially to a child with lacking protection

It's okay to call an idol ur husband/wife/gf/bf/bestie etc. but going out of your way to ACT like they really are your bf/gf etc. is just obsession. You do NOT need to go to the airport just to see ur fav idol. Fansigns, fanmeetings, concerts,etc exist for a reason. An idol can comfort you, but you don't need to acc act like you know them personally. It's scary how these people actually think this way. Someone needs to give them a good slap so they can come back to reality because we do NOT need idols who have a passion to do their job to quit because of these sasaengs.

Saesangs are mostly the kpop industry reaping what it sows. The idea that you're really getting to know the idol as a person, and that they're an eligible single. Don't blame the people dumb enough to fall for the marketing trap, blame the company for making parasocial relationships with idols a large part of their marketing strategy. The idols are victims of some saesangs (if they break into a group's dorm of try to kidnap them, both have happened), but they're first of all victims of a company that fosters obsession with them, then leaves them to face the consequences. For example by not having them fly private so people are able to get on the same plane.

The industry does create an environment of entitlement, that’s true

Yeah, it's so engrained into people's minds that "beauty" is synonymous with being good, and "ugliness " is associated with being evil. Stalking is terrifying for the victim, and it doesn't matter what the perpetrator looks like. If they appear to seem to be not seem to be threatening for whatever reason/s that doesn't make it any less scary, creepy, and violating for the victim. It isn't an insult if she's funding this through any form of sex work. It is misogynistic. It doesn't matter. It would only be anything to note if a person was committing acts such as robbery and therefore harming others to fund the stalking. People have even excused the actions of violent criminals due to their appearance. For me, a person's actions, their personality, and the way they treat others will shine through and effect their attractiveness. If a person is kindhearted it makes them beautiful. A nasty, selfish, unpleasant person who hurts others will be repulsive to me physically. It's wild to me that she skipped a concert to sit on an airplane! I can't comprehend it. I couldn't afford to see ATEEZ when they had a concert in London. I really wanted to go but it just wasn't affordable for me at that point, but I'm hopeful for the future. It must be down to one of two things, or maybe a bit of both. Total delusional thinking - believing that the flight is going to be a meet cute like something out of a movie or maybe more like a bad fanfic. OR getting a kick out of negatively impacting the victim. Idols have been poisoned, and similar things to that... They want to leave their mark on them and they don't care if it's for a bad reason. Power and control comes into abusive behaviour. People can really enjoy the misery they are causing. Being followed on a flight is so wrong, that's a time where the idols should be able to relax. Not be anxious about their every move. It would be great if something could be done to protect people from this behaviour. Don't let these creeps on the flights. It's not safe. I love NCT. 127 are my favourite subunit. But I have seen so much despicable behaviour targeted at NCT as a whole. From people camping outside dorms, being followed on flights, older members getting hated for protecting younger members and cursing at the stalkers, and being creeped on when filming content including a time they were filming in a basement and fans were looking in from above. SM is so bad with doing anything about it. TVXQ had some terrifying stuff happening back in the day and it's not gotten any better. It even played into what happened with Lucas. Lucas called out this behaviour in livestreams. SM have never clarified exactly what he did wrong, there was a lot of evidence that at least some of the allegations appeared to be fabricated by stalkers. SM should have taken action, and been clear about what happened. They appear to be sticking to being vague and not addressing anything head-on. So it's impossible to come to a conclusion. Anything that was a malicious rumour should have been publicly debunked by SM. Anything that was the work of a stalker should have been dealt with. Anything that was real should have been addressed. How can he be apologising for something when we don't know what he's apologising for? It's so sketchy, but whatever the case I feel I can at least say it points to SM being useless. They can't be bothered to protect their idols. They can't be bothered to take action against stalking which is a huge, documented issue. They also won't even address an idols wrongdoings directly. They can't even be bothered to disband groups. Anyway. Essay over. I've been struggling with depression a lot this year, so my heart goes out to Duck. Thank you for your content.

I'm someone who hyperfixate on whatever my current obsession is but fans like that scare me. I can understand being obsessive but going so far as to stalking (illegal), invading others' privacy and endangering the idols is not ok. Not to mention they can ruin the idol's whole career just because of something they perceived as a slight against them by their idol(and suddenly their obsessive love turn into hate). I also agree that no matter how attractive one is, if they're horrible, their inner ugliness just ooze out. But unfortunately, we live in a society where a lot of people would deliberately ignore the bad characters and personalities just for the sake of conventionally attractive physical appearances. I think idols agencies definitely need to step up with their security measures and protecting their idols. Like we have all these incidents (and tragic events where the celebrities lost their lives) of crazy fans harming their subjects of fantasies in an entertainment industry that don't rely on selling boyfriend/girlfriend fantasy. So what makes those idol agencies think, their idols will be safe when they're in an industry that's selling fans the delusion of being able to be with their favourite idols. If your business model is based on fueling people 's delusions, you're gonna have to prepare to fend of delusional fans. You can't not think that there won't be some crazies out there.

im a dream stan and jisung is one of my biases. hes younger than me and hes quite a timid person so i feel very protective over him and this video really got my blood boiling. he definitely experiences anxiety and overstimulation in airports and other crowded areas, he always puts his earphones in to drown out the commotion and is often seen holding onto one of his members to keep himself grounded :(

I know this isn't about that but the game got me so distracted. Am I seeing that right, are they asking for a whole garlic bulb on their drinks?? This is driving me coconuts. Btw, great video, thank you for making it!

As someone with anxiety, I even dread the idea of a videocall with an idol, I pretty much prefer them not knowing that I exist

Damn, I didn't know about half of this behavior. The lines in MATZ re: sasaengs hit so much harder.

These people make idol's lives a nightmare. Sure, we'd all like an interaction with our idols but most of us accept that it's not likely to happen, and are happy enough to go to concerts if we're lucky, or just dream. I don't understand how they get away with it because if these weren't idols being stalked, the police would get involved with this much harassment. Is she also the girl who always seems to get in the NCT videos when they're filming? The touching thing with Hongjoong - does she mean she wants to touch his face too, as in the photo it seems like he has his hand on his cheek.

Actually the thought of another idol stalking you, a fellow idol, is even scarier and more dangerous. No matter how far you try to get away from them, they'll always follow you and come up with excuses like "Hey I wanna see you because I'm interested in filming a collab" or "I convinced my manager if my group can perform in this music festival too so we can see each other more!" You want to say no, but can't, because you don't know what they'll do or that people won't believe you.

Girl.... you can bag anyone who would worship the ground you walk on and you choose idols who doesn't want anything to do with you?? 😭😭 you're too pretty for this

don’t these people have lives??? it’s such a sad existence, just following other people around…

NEW DUCK VIDEOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOO

I've been on huge stages before (not as big as these idols usually go on) but with the damn lights and everything going on, there is just no way they could figure out where one particular person is even if they'd tell you which section to look to and whatnot it's impossible. The crowds usually go from 7000ish to 50.000 depending on city/country and arena. These claims are so outlandish. We all get delusional sometimes but unless you are dumping huge amounts of fluorescent liquid on yourself, no fxcking way.

This is so scary, you have to think that if they idols are seeing the same creepy people are around them over and over that they may not be entirely safe. I would feel so anxious, companies need to do something. Oh and with SM, you haven’t scratched the surface with SHINee and what sasaengs have done with regards to Taemin.

also i appreciate the hard work and research you do to get these videos out they’re very informative and entertaining as someone new to kpop!

33:20 also thank YOU for this so many people have been saying this and everytime I try to correct them they say they got it from google and don’t want to listen so I really appreciate the fact that you acknowledged this and I hope more people see this because it’s misinformation that has been spreading everywhere ❤

when i first came across ur channel i was shocked you didnt have like millions of subs. these are def my fav videos on yt. your commentary, and overall just how the videos are made are truly amazing. hope you are doing well, i dont want you to see this channel as a burden and stop posting! ur not letting us down dw. talking abt the last video was rlly considerate, instead of just overlooking it, hope you continue to do well, and have continue posting!

I really love these videos!! It helps the community be so much more aware of the situations because a lot of this gets pushed down

Honestly one of the things I love about San is how he has previously, (and continues to) put a line in the sand between work/their fans, and their life outside of work. He has said it feels creepy when he can tell that someone hasn’t just run into them but has stalked them, and he has told people that tried calling him, that he will never pick up and that they arent real fans if they are stalking them and getting their phone numbers and stuff. It’s refreshing to see him call out these ‘fans’ that behave inappropriately and stalk them, and I wish idols felt more comfortable/were allowed to say to leave them alone like that.

hey girl i emailed kq thanks for making these videos because a lot of people don't talk about this side of kpop 💕💕💕going that close to idols is super sad cuz they dont even know you and these crazy people are acting toooo comfortable

I love that you do disclaims (not to have them out of the way but really because you value them), I love that you understand the depth behind making a mistake and you have the courage to address (fight instead of flight), I hope to see you more but at the same time take your time (for you and to do proper research), I'll see you next time❤

hi!! as someone from hong kong i would like to provide some context about why this person would so openly post and talk about the said idols like this (btw this isn’t to say that she did nothing wrong because what she did was indeed insanely inappropriate) 1) calling an idol your “husband” or 老公 is very common in the chinese/hk fan community 2) following idols to airports or buying plane details is unfortunately insanely common in hk fan culture, its so easy to buy these details and for very very cheap too many many fans even if they arent technically ‘sasaengs’ or aren’t overly delusional do buy these details 3) a lot of the messages she wrote in her instagram stories are kind of mistranslated or some phrases are used in a joking manner 4) and for the same bias thing, a lot of fans don’t like or even unfriend people who have the same bias as them, theres a term for it which is 同擔 (this comment is just for context and im in no way condoning her behaviour!!)

The worst part is these companies will not do anything , kpop is built off of these parasocial relationships if anything companies promote it heavily at the expense of the idols cause it makes them money. I’ve talked to a lot of Korean fans of my favourite girl group loona, it is common for the same fans to show up to fansigns / schedules / airports everytime for Korean fans that is normal and they see nothing wrong with it and with the amount of fansigns companies do right now fans really think they have a relationship with the idol as they talk to them so often to the point the idols know them personally 😭 the industry is so messed up

Tbf I think going to a company building by itself would be fine. I’ve gone to the SM and JYP buildings just to take a picture of the place and to kinda like… see the place where it happens if it makes sense? But the thing is I went there, took a picture outside like you would at a monument, and then left. And I don’t think that’s what she’s out here doing. Like a couple of these things would be fine by themselves, it’s just the fact that it’s all of those things together (Emphasis on some btw. Buying tickets for the same flight for example is never okay)

(this influencer tried to interview San randomly and showed up at the building twice), so that’s why i mentioned it along with her weird behavior

As much as i hate to say this, but this sasaeng is a vip fan. And because of that, there is a little thing that idol can do. This sasaeng is treated as a vip because they spent thousand of dollar to see their fav idol. They bring big money to the company, of course company not going to punished them badly until they will stop, since this sasaeng is most likely their source of income. Because as casual fan you most likely listen their music in spotify or applemusic, you buy their album sometimes, you go to their concert one time or just watch free live stream on youtube The other dedicated fan will listen to your song, buy your album, maybe making a post, buy you a gift sometimes, going to your concert most of the times. But this kinda thing is expensive so they never really doing it much and usually they do it together with other dedicated fan But sasaeng?? They probably buy a thousand bulk of your album everytime you out with a new song, go to all of your concert, gift?? Whatever you say in live or just lightly mention it, they will buy it. Even if you take a shit they will buy it, that how excessive sasaeng is. But that also means they bring big money, they probably comes from a wealthy family, or have a big fat chunck of money just sitting around from inheritance or something, so they have all the time in the world to chase after their idol, because this people seriously think they have a chance with their idol, that why some of them is conventionally attractive or they kinda fit into the korean beauty standard that's also why company always let them go. They will punish them if they go to far, but not bad enough to stop them, pretty much just light punishment.

DUCK IS BACK?? SHINEE'S BACK?? I'm glad we're seeing more of you, and I won't thank you on behalf of AROHA's, but I appreciate you for taking accountability! We are all human and allowed our mistakes, and I know you learn from everything and try to continue to stay informed which is why I always enjoy your videos, personally! UGH these sasaeng defenders man sus mentes asustan, it's almost worse than Kling or Judy's actions sometimes bc how are you sitting here telling me their looks give them some kind of pass? puedo see delirante, pero no así, especially when it comes to something as easily defined as 'stalking' or 'harassment'. Sorry this comment is all over the place hehe, also I'm terrible at guessing but I NEED to know who your ateez bias is like yesterday?!

The footage of jisung where all the other fans (including her) are gathered round, shoving their phones in his face genuinely made me feel sick. I would understand idols battling gratitude alongside a deep contempt for their fandoms due to such dehumanising treatment. Me personally? I would go apeshit but I don’t have a livelihood to lose 🙄

A question I always wonder is how the hell do they have the money to do all this, because it barely seems like they have time to have a job🤷‍♀️

Even 10 years ago staff would sell information to crazy “fans” and watching this I’m sad to see that it’s still going on. People wouldn’t have as much information on where the idols will be if it wasn’t for someone close to them selling the information.

Thank you for clarifying about moonbin ❤

I think instead of only seeing these sasaengs as JUST bad guys(even though the do a lot of weird, bad and probably ilegal things) they are mentally unstable, if you're THAT obsessed over an idol you have something wrong going on up their. They need help, it cannot be healthy for them to spend this much time and energy on someone who probably doesn't even know them. So in conclusion, i think companies need to hire more security, maybe even make the idols go through a less public way at the airport cause clearly it is way to dangerous, not only for the idols but probably even the fans and, second, the sasaengs SERIOUSLY need profesional help, or atleast touch some grass.

Yujin is a minor, I hope she leaves the kid alone 😭

Btw- airport arrivals are public knowledge and almost 90% of the time their departure and arrival are always anticipated by media, and considering how easy it is to get info about when they'll be departing from ICN, fans going to the airport is very much anticipated. Also- fansites are not sasaengs, but some sasaengs are fansites and they earn money by taking pictures of the idols to sell to media outlets etc. I'm not saying kling is not a sasaeng, but I hope people do not put her in the same group as fansites. On another note, someone already pointed this out but if an idol wanted to contact you they would have very easily found a way to exchange details. Maybe 80% of idols are dating, and more than half the time they're dating non idols. Your chances of ever being with them actually goes down by virtue of you being a fan because of how risky it is to their security and safety.

This is exactly why I don't get mad when celebrities use private jets.

I'm ticketing tmr for ateez this came right on time lmao 😭

There are recent videos of Kling and her blonde female friend following Hongjoong at Gimpo International Airport on KZread channels:NewsenTV, RNX TV,and KoreanDispatch. Hongjoong appeared to be agitated and disturbed by them.🙏🙏🙏😥😰💔💔💔

hii off topic but could you maybe make a video about the seunghan hiatus from riize? love ur channel btwww❤

Guesses for biases... Maybe Yunho for Ateez and Chenle for NCT Dream? (Mine are Hongjoong and Jaemin.... and Matthew for ZB1, but Gunwook and Hanbin are a VERY close second and third >.

You are either Seonghwa or Yunho biased Atiny Mine's Yeosang. Thank you for this video fellow Atiny

I'll keep saying this, but just cause they're famous doesn’t give people right to be up in their faces, even In public. Sasaengs do better

I am from Hong Kong and the translation at 4:39 does not means "Going itchy" It means "I am going crazy now"

I cannot for the life of me understand what and how seasangs are thinking. They claim to love them, but don't care about making these people uncomfortable in the slightest. The idols show so so much of their lifes already, I sometimes feel like invading their privacy watching some of their officially published stuff. How anyone thinks it is okay to take even more of it in following them around, calling them on their freking private phones or downright hunting them down..? That is scary, inconsiderate, extremely rude and mentally unhealthy for everyone involved. Please let them have at least some peace!

As an atiny it got me so scared and I'm not even the Hongjoong himself,so I hope things don't get more insane as they're now,also KQ made a release,wich it says to many things about,acting weird around all ATEEZ members,and if they broke they'll be in black list,so I hope she'll make something that make KQ put her in the black list,so she'll never will do the things she did and do,but even if she's in black list,this not gonna stop of being weird,anyways,is scary to see this,more because she acts like she's not doing nothing.I always thought fans waiting for their favs in the airport is so weird and so invasive to the their private's life.Thanks for talking about this case❣ btw:I love the way you mix english and spanish

Jisung is a very shy person too

Hey. My first time coming across your video. Will definitely subscribe ❤ Uhmmmm I think your bias is either Yeosang, Yunho or Jongho 🤔

about the husband thing, for cfans its pretty normal to call them husband TT for female idols they call them wives which is 老婆. for some groups it’s kinda specific like for enhypen they call them young masters , 少爷. it’s just like normal ifans calling their bias their boyfriend ykwim

I literally thought the whipped cream was garlic till you put it on the drink 😭

This one girl in my class is a sasaeng too and she is friends with the girl in this video 😭😭😭

for the touching thing i think she might have meant his cheek or face bc in the photo hongjoong is touching his cheek

I don't get the part where some people are uncomfortable when you share a bias with them. I had a friend in high school she new BTS before I did so she introduced me to the group. A while into getting to know them she asked me who was my favorite so far I pointed at Jimin, Hobi (J Hope) and Taehyung, I didn't know them that well. She got so defensive over Jimin and said no you can't have him he's her bias and I should choose someone else as a bias(long story short 2 friends of mine who were also friends with her have trauma from being Army's, but we still love BTS). I have a friend we share the same bias Changkyn from Monsta X we literally fangirl about him it's so much fun. Sorry for the long comment
