Saseng fans are people who monitor and chase after the every move of celebrities like stalkers. They became a social issue after the controversy of JYJ Jaejoong with saseng fans. The celebrities were not only ones who had to suffer by saseng fans. Managers who have to face fans one to one suffered as well.

Manger ‘A’ who has worked as a manger of famous idol for 10 years confessed about saseng fans to the reporter. This manger, who has experienced the good times and the bad times with famous idol, started as road manager and became the head of a department. He had many stories related to saseng fans.

The manager cut off the question regarding saseng fans by saying “I do not even want to think about it.” Then, he shook his heads several times remembering his life when he lived in the dormitory with idol.

“There were urine and feces when I opened the door after I woke up in the morning. It did not happen just once or twice. It’s like marking their territory or something…” This is how the morning with saseng fans started. “Imagine starting the morning, which should be fresh, by facing urine and feces. I started the day with stresses.”

He continued “saseng fans who only follow by taxis can be considered as cute. There were sasengs who broke into the dormitory and took all the food from the fridge. I wonder how they can find out the new telephone numbers… It’s like 007.”

To the question, have you beaten those saseng fans, he replied “to be honest, I have done it in the past.” The manager ‘A’ confessed “dozens and several hundred fans gather up after the schedule. A member even got dragged with his hair grabbed. I had to physically stop before larger incident would occur. Hitting was only method. Nowadays, I cannot hit them because many fans record and there are many people watching. I even sprayed repellents and swore at them, but it was useless.”

Then, how would saseng fans who got hit would feel? Manager ‘A’ said “about being hit, I saw them even boast that “I got hit by our oppa(singer)’s manager. Not all of them would feel like this but there are saseng fans who think this way. There are fans who consider that they ‘became closer with celebrities’ with physical actions and swearing. Would physical action and swearing affect people with those mentalities?”

Furthermore, he marvelled by saying “many saseng fans are young. But, many of them stick to idol members and harshly touch genitals of members when they come out after the schedule. They even stick their bodies to members. Although they are young, they commit sexual harassments. To idol members, these are disgusting actions.”

He recalled, “Once, I scolded saseng fans who came to the dormitory. I even told them to bring their parents because they would not listen. They must have felt unfair, brought their parents and made me as an irrational man who uses abusive languages, after drinking alcohol, to naïve students. Parents would just listen to their daughters. They even reported me to the police. The victim became the suspect.”
Regarding the controversy of hitting saseng fan, he confessed “although physical action cannot be justified but I, who has suffered for several years, can understand his feeling very well.”

Manager ‘A’ expressed his sadness by saying “They begin the morning with urine and feces, text messages with insults and phone calls from stalkers. They also suffer in front of the beauty parlor and places to do schedules. Because they are human, they would explode when these pile up over and over.”

Finally he added, “Saseng fans are evolving as well. They share information between themselves and organize groups. I heard they also exchange money. But, managers cannot just hit them like before. These are extreamly torturous to both entertainers and mangers.”
