Omg did that really happen?? I mean, I don't doubt you that it did but it's kind of unbelievable to me how many enablers these sasaeng fans have (taxi drivers, the company themselves, even the police who won't get involved). I mean, there shouldn't be an exception made just because they're "young girls", if they're breaking the law and stalking others, they should have to suffer the consequences. I suppose that's more of an overall law-type thing, but jfc it's baffling to me what they get away with

sadly it actually happen because the moment exo finished practicing all these girls run to the nearest taxi and once a van comes up drom SME parking lot they were at its tail.
there were a time when sasaeng means a devoted fans who's know their idol schedule by heart, knows their idol house, talk with their idol family in cute manners but it escalated from there to tresspassing their idol house, attacking anyone who is attacking thier idol and even following them around.
sadly not all sasaeng these young school girl, maybe the one chasing their idol like mad the young ones but the one stalking to the extend of scary mostly adult.
Actually when the TVXQ/JYJ sasaeng stories first broke, there was a lot of talk about how these stalker-fans grew up and started taking jobs in telecommunication in order to spy on their idols. I mean, there's really no end unless you slap them with actual fines, which unfortunately, no one is going to do

Haha, I still live in Dallas right now, but I grew up in Taiwan. I've never been to South Korea before, but everything I hear about them is very similar to my country--both of them are relatively small with high population density, both of them have similar values when it comes to schooling and family, and both are collectivist to an extreme
