Recently, the story of G-Dragon assisting a fan has gained renewed attention. The story comes from a fan of sasaeng, a group often viewed negatively by both the public and idols. He talked about how G-Dragon came to his rescue while he was stalking celebrities, “I was attacked by my boyfriend in front of a celebrity when I was a sasaeng.”
Below is his full story:
“In the past, when I was young and stupid, I was a sasaeng fan and waited for my idol until early in the morning. I ignored all my boyfriend’s messages… Around 3 or 4 in the morning, I stayed up all night waiting for my idol, but my boyfriend followed me and tried to drag me away. I didn’t listen to him, so he pushed me physically. He had a bad habit of hitting me.
But at that moment my idol appeared. He had just returned to the dormitory. He saw me being pushed by my boyfriend. I did a lot of sasaeng stuff back then, so he must have recognized me. Normally he would have ignored me completely, but that day he was right in front of me.
- GD: “Use your words.”
- Boyfriend: “Oh, it’s not that; I was just taking her away.
- GD: “Use your words instead of hitting her.”
- Boyfriend: “I’m not hitting her; Why would I hit my girlfriend?”
- GD: “You just hit her!”
- (And then G-Dragon turned to ask me)
- GD: “Did it hit you?”
- Fan: “I’m sorry??..”
- GD: “Just take a taxi and go home. Don’t go out so late again.”
So I took a taxi home. When I looked out the window, just as the taxi pulled away, I saw him walk into the dorm without even looking at my boyfriend. I gave up on being a sasaeng, but that moment was so precious; it seemed like a dream.
