On September 24, the producer of YouTube channels Yoon Il-Sang loaded a new episode entitled “If you were born again: Super Junior against 100 billionaires Bachelor -Kim Hee-Chul Part 2. “In the video, Kim Hee-Chul has candidly remembered the relentless harassment that he endured during the height of Super juniorfame.
The idol explained why he avoids calling them “Sasaeng’s fan”, choosing instead of saying “Sasaeng” to underline how extreme the behavior was. “They would have chased my car in a group. Once, I went out in a narrow alley and knocked on taxis to face them. We even fought.” he said.
What shocked him most, however, were not only the Sasaengs, but also the complicit taxi drivers. “These drivers would charge ridiculously high commissions to young fans from abroad: 5 million won on the counter for a few minutes. When I faced them, they just laughed, which made me furious”, “ Hee-Chul recalled. “The Sasaengs are bad, but the adults who encourage them are even worse.”
He then revealed an even more disturbing side: organized Sasaeng groups that invaded his personal space. “It was beyond the imagination. While I was away for the times, they broke into our dormitory, they took photos of tests and they would have placed them online. Some even left behind health shoulders. It was at the level of terrorism.”
Despite these traumatic experiences, Kim Hee-Chul showed his affection for authentic fans. “I always say to the fans, when you come to the airport, please stay ordered. If someone hurts, everyone suffers. I don’t want my fans to be damaged”, he underlined.
The shocking confession of Kim Hee-Chul once again highlights the serious dangers and violations that the idols face from Sasaeng’s obsessive behavior. Since then, fans have expressed online indignation, asking for more severe measures to protect artists’ security and privacy.
