Viral Video Of K-Pop Idol Running Through The Airport Being Chased Down By Sasaengs Sparks Outrage
A horrifying video showing ENHYPEN‘s Sunghoon and his two female staff members sprinting down airport corridors, trying to escape sasaeng fans, has gone viral across social media platforms like X and online communities like theqoo, igniting fierce backlash from K-Pop fans around the world.
In the video, Sunghoon is said to be returning to Korea after an individual schedule in China for the brand MUSINSA. He was found without any security guards or male staff…
Why belift can’t protect members and only sent 2 female staffs with him and no bodyguard?
where is protection for sunghoon
Why @BELIFTLAB is enabling saesane behavior? @ENHYPEN pic.twitter.com/JcrqvttXGo— blurryblur (@blurryblur1998) January 11, 2026
…which his fans are now slamming BELIFT for “enabling sasaeng behavior.”
이미 영상 퍼질대로 퍼졌고 아니나 다를까 또 조롱중이길래 걍 올림 달리기전에 이미 내부에서 사생들끼리 못 볼 꼴 보여주면서 개지랄났었고 그냥 빌리프랩 ㅂㅅ같아서 말도 안나옴 https://t.co/DIrxFthr1c pic.twitter.com/ug0rCnFYeA

This video is all over the internet now and, like I expected, people are making fun of Sunghoon for it. So I’m posting it, too. This is after the sasaengs already went batsh*t crazy once inside. I’m just so flabbergasted by how f*cking stupid BELIFT is.

In addition to the shocking footage of Sunghoon frantically fleeing sasaengs, another video later surfaced showing the idol interacting with the press—appearing exhausted but still smiling, and showing no outward signs of the distress he had every right to feel—leaving fans heartbroken.

Press: You must be tired, Sunghoon.
Sunghoon: I’m OK. I get sleep while on the move.
Press: Oh, but that’s not really sleep.
Sunghoon: [Smiles]
Fans online are calling out the sasaengs as “mentally unstable stalkers,” while also discussing the complexities of deploying security guards and male managers or staff—particularly in light of past horror stories involving fans being assaulted.
- “I genuinely feel bad for idols after watching this. It’s not like he can stop the fans himself, and if he fails to hide his frustration, then he gets criticized. So he can’t show how he really feels either.”
- “Were the sasaengs running after him to get on the same elevator with him?”
- “That’s a straight-up chase… Yikes.”
- “Those sasaengs are mentally unstable stalkers. They should be slapped with a restraining order.”
- “The sasaengs are acting like complete idiots.”
- “I mean, this is such a huge dilemma IMO. The sasaengs are awful every single time and cause chaos, but if/when security steps in, they get called out for that too. If there had been security and they were to have stopped the sasaengs with any force at all, people would’ve accused them of mistreating fans and overreacting.”
- “Ugh… This is just heartbreaking.”
- “Experiencing stuff like this would seriously haunt you even in your dreams.”
- “The elevator is one thing, but in the car too? Like, you can clearly see the female staff member’s face and everything.”
- “WTF…”
- “Why was there no security? Running like that looks really dangerous.”
ENHYPEN fans continue to demand better from BELIFT as this is not the first time an ENHYPEN member has been left vulnerable at an airport.
Right after attending offline events, Sunghoon was subsequently followed to the airport by individuals who engaged in harassment and unauthorized, covert photography.
This incident, alongside numerous similar occurrences, reflects a persistent failure to adequately safeguard…
