“She was clearly a sasaeng” — Fans enraged as a stalker follows ENHYPEN at the airport disguised as staff

On September 2, 2024, ENHYPEN faced another sasaeng controversy at Incheon Airport. While making their way through a crowd of fans, a woman in casual attire and a mask was mistaken for a staff member. It was later revealed she was actually a stalker fan, or "sasaeng."

The realization sparked outrage among fans, who were shocked by the woman's audacity in blending so seamlessly with the group's actual staff. Her disguise was so convincing that even the crew members failed to recognize her as an outsider at first.

It wasn’t until later that the staff realized she was not part of their team and promptly pulled her away from the group. The members of ENHYPEN themselves were unaware of her presence until the staff intervened.

The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with fans expressing their anger and concern over the situation. Many questioned how such a breach of security could occur and criticized the woman's boldness in infiltrating the group's personal space. The controversy has once again highlighted the ongoing issue of sasaeng behavior in the K-pop industry, raising concerns among the K-community.

"yes she was clearly a sasaeng. she tried to stand there to make it look like she was one of the staff," commented one fan on X.

"This is so embarrassing fr," a fan stated.

"I never understand how they can be so ballsy," a fan said.

"How delusional do you have to be to just stand there and think you’re one of them," a fan exclaimed.

Others also criticized the behavior and said,

"Seriously how come these girls come close to them and literally follow them," another angry fan said.

"Didnt think anyone would take 'being a fan is not enough i need to be in the group' so seriously," a fan hilariously said.

"To have that amount of audacity," another fan exclaimed.

"The way she was casually walking with them," another fan stated.

ENHYPEN in the middle of yet another sasaeng controversy

ENHYPEN has frequently been the center of sasaeng incidents, particularly at airports, where obsessive fans have repeatedly harassed them.

A recent incident on September 2, 2024, once again highlighted the group's vulnerability to such invasions of privacy. Fans were alarmed when a sasaeng managed to blend in with the staff at Incheon Airport, walking alongside the members unnoticed until staff members finally realized she was not one of them. This blatant breach of security left fans outraged.

Similar chaotic scenes have unfolded in the past, notably during the ENHYPEN's return from the K-pop Lux concert in Madrid about a year ago. At that time, the members were met with an overwhelming crowd at Incheon Airport, where fans swarmed around them with little regard for their personal space.

The situation became so intense that Jake was seen holding Sunoo by the shoulders to shield him from the aggressive crowd. The members eventually managed to escape to their car, but the incident left many fans embarrassed and concerned.

These repeated cases have become so common that they have sparked widespread concern among ENHYPEN fans, who are increasingly vocal about the need for better security measures, especially given the group's relatively young age.
