From BTS to ENHYPEN, Idol Safety Shattered by Stalker Crimes



It's a boy band in crisis. Boy groups are shaking at the atrocities of stalkers who can't even call them 'fans'.

BTS Jung-kook was stalked on the day he was discharged from the military on the 11th. A Chinese woman in her 30s visited her home and pressed the front door password several times. A has been arrested as a red-handed criminal and is under police investigation. The agency, Big Hit Music, said on June 30 "We are actively cooperating with the police investigation to receive reasonable criminal punishment, such as collecting and submitting evidence based on CCTV, etc. for actions committed by intruders." he said.

The group ENHYPEN, which was affected by the invasion of its accommodation in March, was attacked again by stalkers. The agency, Billifrap, recently broke into the artist's accommodation without permission and illegally filmed the artist's appearance, causing serious stalking. The company recognized the matter and immediately reported it to the police on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Housing Intrusion and Stalking Crimes, and the suspects were arrested as current offenders and are currently investigating the police.




Not just two groups. Singer Kim Jae-joong confessed that `Someone sneaked into the house without a door lock and filmed the back of the bedroom and bathroom, and sketch fans memorized the car number and chased it and changed seven to eight vehicles.' Kim Jae-joong recently suffered from the hacking of his Kakao Pay account. Super Junior Lee Teuk also suffered from prank calls that were made every morning. It is also common to secretly steal aviation information from popular idol groups such as Zero Base One and book the same flight. Even the player 'Virtual Idol Group' was stalked.

From BTS to ENHYPEN, Idol Safety Shattered by Stalker Crimes
Some say that no real damage has occurredOr, originally, celebrities can be taken lightly for gaining wealth and popularity in exchange for freedom, but stalking crimes are not that simple. The affected members complain of stress from anxiety as if they are being monitored from all sides, receive hospital treatment, and complain of severe trauma symptoms. More damage could be done. In 2016, Japanese idol Domita Mayu was stabbed dozens of times by a stalker who was demanding marriage ahead of a live performance. Fortunately, Domita Mayu was spared but suffered from severe PTSD and poor vision. It's a very extreme case, but I can't guarantee that this won't happen.

As a result, the agency is also responding strongly unlike before. In the past, suspects were often treated with leniency when they complained that they were sincerely reflecting on them, but now they are responding strongly and even leading to criminal punishment.




Big Hit Music is immediately reporting to the police so that they can be arrested for stalking members of the BTS and is also applying for a ban on access."The company has secured relevant evidence such as CCTV and vehicle black boxes so that criminal charges can be immediately filed under the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, etc. and plans to demand severe punishment from the investigative agency for those who repeatedly commit stalking."

Sasaeng is just a dangerous stalker under the guise of 'Fan', not 'Fan'. Strong legal action is needed to stop their atrocities.
