Recently, on an online platform, fans engaged in a discussion about the concerns surrounding K-pop idols’ safety from sasaengs. The situation was sparked by a post made on X (Twitter) that features a short clip from DK’s live stream.

During a fan interaction session, he shared his experience of falling prey to voice phishing calls. According to the post, the SEVENTEEN member revealed that he picked up the call thinking it was his bandmate Seungkwan, as the caller ID showed his name. But then he realized it was indeed a misleading call made by a sasaeng, who maliciously used Seungkwan’s caller ID.

Many SEVENTEEN members have resorted to do-not-disturb mode, while Jeonghan even used an iPad during broadcasting to prevent any such calls.

In light of this recent incident, CARATs (SEVENTEEN’s fandom name) brought back another video from last November that showcased Mingyu and Jeonghan expressing frustration for receiving sasaeng fans’ calls during their live streaming sessions.

This string of repetitive incidents has again shed light on the growing issues about the anti-fans’ advanced tactics to cause harm to K-pop idols.
