5 Scariest Sasaeng Moments That K-pop Idols Experienced

What's scarier than Halloween? These K-pop idols will most likely answer "sasaengs." After all, they experienced the most terrifying incidents from these so-called "fans."

In popular culture, a "sasaeng" is referred to as "obsessive fans," who would go as far as stalking and threatening their favorite idols to get their attention.

Some of their creepy acts include stealing artists' personal contacts, following them in their hotels, and riding the same airplanes as their ults.

However, these ridiculous actions became dangerous and worth sending them to jail for crossing the line by harming their idols.
