ENHYPEN’s Heeseung just wanted some relaxed fan time on February 28, when he hopped onto Weverse Live to catch up with everyone. Instead, he found himself dodging nonstop phone calls—17 in total—from a sasaeng (an overly obsessive fan). It got so bad that the screen froze multiple times, and Heeseung quickly said, “Stop calling me, seriously!”

Sasaeng behavior is a notorious issue in K-pop, and this incident reminded everyone how serious it can get. Fans online suspected Heeseung might have been dealing with calls even before he went live, based on how frustrated he appeared to be. Eventually, he ended the livestream early, leaving devoted ENGENEs disappointed and angry that someone would ruin the special moment.

Not long ago, other idols like Stray Kids’ Lee Know and ENHYPEN’s own Sunghoon faced similar intrusions. The situation has sparked renewed calls for stricter privacy measures and respect for artists’ boundaries. Once again, fandoms are demanding more protection for their idols so that companies ensure that these obsessive fans don’t get in the way of the artists.
