In a recent live broadcast, BTS's Jungkook addressed the persistent issue of sasaeng fans stalking him, even at his private residence.
Sasaeng fans, known for their extreme obsession with celebrities, have long been a concern in the K-pop industry, causing distress to artists and their fanbases.
Reiterating His Stance on Privacy
During the broadcast, Jungkook, like other BTS members, reiterated his plea for privacy. The term "sasaeng fan" encompasses individuals who go beyond normal fandom behavior, crossing boundaries by invading celebrities' personal lives.
These actions not only discomfort artists but also pose a potential threat to their safety.
"Kindly refrain from sending food deliveries to my residence, as I have no intention of consuming them. While I appreciate the gesture, I am perfectly capable of managing my own meals. I urge you to focus on your own dining needs. If another delivery attempt is made, I will investigate the receipt order number and take appropriate measures. Your cooperation in discontinuing this practice is appreciated. Thank you."
🐰 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
