"Netizens praised Renjun for his actions but also hit back at SM Entertainment for not doing their job by protecting their idols' privacy," observed a prominent K-Pop commentator.

As incidents of sasaeng behavior continue to plague K-Pop idols, Renjun's bold move highlights the ongoing struggle faced by celebrities to maintain their privacy.
While fans rally behind idols like Renjun who take matters into their own hands, there remains a pressing call for stronger measures from entertainment agencies to safeguard their artists.
Meanwhile, Renjun of NCT Dream recently exposed a sasaeng's account on the platform X after they attempted to illegally disclose private information about him and his group.
Sasaengs, known for their invasive behavior towards idols, often obtain and sell personal details like phone numbers and schedules for profit. Renjun swiftly took action by informing fans on the Bubble platform, leading to the suspension of the sasaeng's account within minutes due to mass reporting.
This incident highlights ongoing issues of privacy invasion in the K-pop industry, prompting discussions about better protection measures for idols.
