Jimin and Jungkook were stalked by saesangs during vacation
Soon after their discharge, Jimin and Jungkook went to Switzerland to spend some time relaxing and enjoying civilian life. On June 25-26, saesangs of BTS started circulating photos and videos of the idols on online social media platforms.
The videos and photos seem to have been taken from far away and without prior permission as well, enraging ARMYs around the world.
What worsened the situation was that the media content that was being circulated online was also taken while the idols were trying to spend a quiet and private time away from the public eye.
At first, once the photos were shared, fans started celebrating getting new updates about the idols. However, once it was revealed how the photos were taken and who took them, many started calling the original posters out and even started requesting for the posts to be taken down.
Fans react, calling for stricter action against saesangs
As soon as it was revealed that the photos were taken without the consent of the idols, ARMYs took to online social media platforms and forums to report the original posts. Not only that, but they started urging everyone else online to stop circulating the images as well.
One fan commented that 'I feel like this needs to be said every day, but it is NOT okay that we know where Jimin and Jungkook are, and it is NOT okay to share those stalker pics.
You all claim to love them, but that seems to completely fly out the window once you see the stalker pics and decide to share them.'
Another fan of the group shared, 'What is happening right now with Jungkook & Jimin is frightening. They are followed everywhere they go. Someone is 10 steps behind them, filming them. And you have those shippers hyping up everything with zero care about their safety. No one is questioning if the stalker is dangerous.'
ARMYs also started posting requests online, urging the K-pop group's management agency to take strict action against the stalkers. They appealed that the company should take serious steps in order to protect Jimin and Jungkook's privacy, especially while they are relaxing during vacation.
