Singer Sung Si Kyung revealed an incident involving sasaengs of the girl group aespa.
On the 1st, Sung Si Kyung’s YouTube channel uploaded a video titled, “I heard about Kim Junsu’s journey from idol singer to the first-ever musical acting award winner.”
In the video, Kim Junsu confessed to the sasaeng fan harassment he experienced during his time with TVXQ. In response, Sung Si Kyung mentioned his recent experience returning home on the same plane as aespa. He said, “aespa must be having a really hard time. Sasaeng fans were on the plane with them,” adding, “After passport control, about 30 fans surrounded and waited for them.”
He continued, “The members looked completely drained,” expressing sympathy. He also pointed out, “The managers can’t take care of all four members, so isn’t there someone who should stop this?”
Hearing this, Kim Junsu responded bitterly, “It’s still the same,” and added, “Sometimes sasaeng fans even sit nearby,” revealing that idols still face similar struggles.
When Sung Si Kyung expressed anger, saying, “People who break those boundaries aren’t real fans,” Kim Junsu shared his own experience. “Thinking back to my time, you just give up,” he began. Kim Junsu recalled, “As soon as I activated my phone number, I got a call in the car on the way to the dorm. When I answered, they said, ‘Did you think I wouldn’t know?’ At that moment, I really felt broken.”
