In their tweet, MBC News revealed that they had never encountered a sight like this, where droves of fans waited for a celebrity outside of an interview.

We have interviewed actors after their drama ended, but we have never seen this many people surround the interview site.

The author of the post then writes that these were Sasaeng fans who had done something similar the day before. Sasaeng fan is a term used to describe stalkers who follow celebrities’ every move.

This is the same group of people that were acting like Sasaengs yesterday and today. The interview was a private schedule but I think they bought the information. Yesterday, Yonhap News said something similar, that they had never seen so many people (at an interview site).

— Netizen

Netizens criticized the Sasaengs and likened them to stalkers.

• “Sasaengs are not fans. They are stalkers. Don’t pay them any attention.”
• “His head must hurt.”
• “Why are you bringing up idol Sasaengs? Sasaengs are all the same, regardless of whether they stalk actors or idols.”
• “Do Sasaengs not have a life? They don’t even seem human.”
• “I mean, you’re telling me this many people showed up to a private interview? I don’t think even idols have that many Sasaengs. This is insane.”
• “There are so many fans obsessed with Lovely Runner… I feel bad for the actress in his next drama.”
• “Wooseok ㅠㅠ. You must be so exhausted.”
• “I don’t know why we call them Sasaengs. They are just stalkers.”
• “They are society’s evil.”
• “I feel like we’re back in the H.O.T. era.”
• “Sasaeng X Stalkers O”
• “Oh, these stalkers.”
