Fed-Up 3rd Gen K-Pop Idol Snatches And Smashes Sasaengs’ Phones In Viral Clip
One of the negative aspects of fame for many idols is the fans who take things too far in their efforts to be close to them. Known as sasaengs, these fans will invade idols’ privacy at airports, private events, hotels, and even their homes.
Sasaengs Tresspass Into ENHYPEN’s Dorm To Film Them, Fans Furious
However, some stars have pushed back against these invasive individuals, taking action themselves, rather than through their security, like in a recently viral clip of a popular third generation idol.
In 2016, Cube Entertainment debuted the then-ten-membered boy group PENTAGON. Through the years, the group remained active and did not disband even after the members left Cube, instead entering a hiatus.
Member Yanan has had an active solo career in China for several years, which he has continued after ending his contract with Cube. The idol made his acting debut in 2021, and appeared in the recent series Fangs of Fortune.
Sasaengs are also an issue for actors, and Yanan has dealt with invasive and pushy fans on more than one occasion. However, in a recently shared clip, as fans crowded around his car, nearly shoving their cameras inside when he opened the door, Yanan reaches a breaking point.
Yanan snatches two phones away from fans gathered and heads away as they yell at him. As he makes his ways up a set of stairs, he throws one of the phones down and a loud crack can be heard.
The viral clip has over 300 thousand views, where netizens commented their approval of Yanan’s actions.
@merrybell123 Yan An smashed sasaeng phone 👊👏 Maybe all domestic entertainers learn from this. If you are not afraid of having your phone thrown at you, come and do it 👍 #yanan #闫桉
