Piwon Harmony fan sister, what are you doing in front of Just B’s place? Haha, I also know FNC’s reputation for welcoming sasaengs and using them as fans.#Conducts #Crew One #TheCrewOne #justbeing #SOLOB #P1Harmony #P1Harmony @ist_ent @the_crewone @JUSTB_Official @P1H_official @FNC_ENT photo.twitter.com/9ocwTRRLcs

The netizen reportedly identified the sasaeng as P1Harmony’s fan manager. Fan managers are often spotted at events where idols interact with their fans, such as fansigns or music shows. They handle tasks such as organizing fans, buying gifts for fans, collecting fan letters, and more.
What is P1Harmony’s fan manager doing in front of Just B’s dorms? LOL. It says a lot about the state of FNC if they’re hiring a sasaeng as a fan manager, tsk.

The staff member has been spotted at various events with P1Harmony.
Netizens were shocked to see the staff supposedly in front of another group’s dormitories.
Apparently, fans were upset with FNC Entertainment for previously hiring a fan manager who had no knowledge of the fandoms. Fans are accusing them of overdoing the correction by hiring a sasaeng.
Mr. Epen is awesome. He brought a fan friend who knows nothing about gang culture and started cursing at him, but then all of a sudden he brought a sasaeng and made him a fan friend. //t.co/PJUwDAK9Ay

What’s so fascinating about FNC is that they were heavily criticized for hiring a fan manager without knowing the culture of fandom, then went and hired one. sasaeng suddenly. They have no middle ground.

Others found the situation ironic, given that it is often the fans’ managers who warn fans against inappropriate behavior.
It’s ridiculous that Sasuni is a fan.
He posted a notice telling people not to do sasaeng stuff, but he’s another idol’s sasaeng https://t.co/oqBNFVG0lt— hubs (@mozzinyamnyam) August 27, 2024
It’s so funny as a sasaeng is a fan manager. They are the ones who upload the warnings about not behaving like a sasaengbut I am sasaeng of another group.
