WayV has had enough of sasaengs and it shows. On Monday, Jan. 18, the members exposed sasaengs who stalked their undisclosed filming location on Lysn's Dear. U Bubble. Keep on reading to learn more.
On Jan. 18, WayV was at a filming site: they were filming despite the harsh weather in South Korea. As the filming continued, the members were followed by a group of sasaeng fans, who were caught taking photos of the members despite the cold and snow. The location was never revealed and the boys had never revealed to fans that they were filming something, which led people to believe that the group was being stalked.
It seems the members themselves could no longer hold back. They snapped photos of the sasaengs and exposed them on the Lysn app, Dear. U Bubble. Notably, Lucas left the longest message out of all of them, revealing how angry he was over the situation.
In his post, the idol wrote, "Everyone, we are in the middle of filming now, but there are these people here, it is so... The weather now is also... why are they so ridiculous? Seriously, I am pissed. I am sorry to everyone for being like this suddenly."
Members Kun and Xiaojun also vented out their frustrations to fans through the app, with Xiaojun simply saying, "This is so rude!"
Leader Kun, on the other hand, told fans, "Also, they are taking photos of the members going to the toilet?! That is enough!"

This is not the first time WayV has spoken up about sasaengs. In the past, members of WayV (and NCT In general) have spoken up against them on numerous live broadcasts. They have asked sasaengs to stop showing up outside of their house and to stop finding their personal numbers, and to stop calling them. Further, WayV has also called out so-called fans who mobbed them at the airport.
Due to how often WayV and NCT have spoken up about being stalked by sasaengs, NCTzens/Weishennies demanded SM Entertainment to take better measures to protect their artists. On Twitter, the fandom spread the hashtag #PROTECTWAYV, where they noted how WayV has expressed discomfort and anger over having their privacy breached numerous times. Fans also asked the company to take immediate action to protect the idols.
We demand to take legal action against malicious sasaengs invading WAYV 's privacy. wayv's has expressed their anger and discomfort over their privacy being violated several times already. Please take immediate action and protect your idols. @SMTOWNGLOBAL
