Sasaengs are among the most terrifying and dangerous types of fans. Their obsession with celebrities knows no bounds, as they are willing to do almost anything to get close to them, even going so far as to break into their homes. Many K-pop idols have shared their experiences of dealing with such obsessive individuals, and each story is as chilling as the last.
Most idols would have their security team with them or at least one bodyguard whenever they go out in public. However, that wasn't the case for this singer, who was recently allegedly seen running away from a mob of sasaengs during his trip to China. Here's what happened:
Over the weekend, a video circulated on social media showing a male idol fleeing from a large mob of sasaengs at what appeared to be a food court or hawker centre in China. Although the singer's face was not visible in the CCTV footage, it was alleged that the individual was Zhang Hao (章昊/장하오), a member of K-pop idol group ZEROBASEONE (ZB1/제로베이스원).
According to sources, the star was having hotpot at the eatery with two managers present when the obsessive fans suddenly surrounded him. Fearing for his safety, he ran towards his company car, with his managers following closely behind as the mob continued to pursue him. Unfortunately, the terrifying experience didn't end there, as it was also reported that the artist narrowly escaped the sasaengs upon arriving at his hotel.
The CCTV footage quickly went viral, with ZB1 fans expressing frustration over the incident. Many criticised the sasaengs for disturbing the idol during his personal time, while others directed their frustration at the agency WakeOne for failing to provide a security team for Zhang Hao when he appeared in public. At the time of writing, WakeOne has yet to issue a statement clarifying whether the individual in the viral clip is indeed the ZB1 member.
