BTS’s Jungkook called out sasaeng fans once again during his latest live broadcast.
The term “sasaeng fan” refers to those individuals who obsess over celebrities to the point of stalking them and invading their privacy. Such fans are categorically disliked by artists and general fanbases alike due to their potential to cause serious harm to artists.
While BTS members, like any other idol, have had to endure encounters with such stalkers, it wasn’t until recent months that they publicly started calling them out. Jungkook, in particular, has repeatedly been vocal about the issue. During a Weverse live before, the idol politely requested fans not to follow him to private schedules or wait for him at places like his gym or his house.
I wasn’t gonna say this but… I’m so thankful for people supporting me and having interest in me. I really am. But please don’t come find me when I’m working out, I was so surprised last time

He also had to post a warning on Weverse after someone ordered him food at his address.
Please don’t send delivery food to my house
I’m not going to eat it anyway.
I’m thankful for the thought, but I can eat well on my own.
So take care of your own meals, I beg you.
If you send it one more time, I will check the receipt order number and take action.
So stop it.— BTS’s Jungkook
On December 8, he once again put sasaeng fans on blast while hosting a candid live broadcast. Jungkook turned on the stream while he was walking outside on the streets.

When ARMYs asked where he was headed, he said he was on his way back home after a workout.

He followed it up by saying that nowadays, sasaeng fans wait for him near his house and proceeded to reprimand them for doing so.

Even nowadays there are sasaengs in front of my house. Stop coming, you bas**rds, ssh– tsk.
— Jungkook
While this is not the first time Jungkook has called out such fans, ARMYs are enraged that he has to put up with stalkers even at his house.
imagine having stalkers waiting in front of your house being such a regular thing that you’re forced to regard it as a daily inconvenience. i cant begin to explain just how fcked up it is that these people don’t bts as humans. just “objects” they feel entitled to.

NO. this has my blood boiling. LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU FREAKS!! he’s a human being & he deserves privacy. i can’t believe people stoop so low as to stalk someone in their own home. he already said that he hates this (& you) but you never listen. i hope karma comes to you, assholes https://t.co/reK8Te3E8X

having sasaeng is not that simple, think about it just once for yourself. imagine that you have a “stalker” and you don’t know who are they, what can they do to you.. they can be p!rvert, harmful or etc. i hate who bothered jungkook no matter what
