In an interview on February 27, 2025, BLACKPINK's Lisa opened up about distressing encounters with obsessive fans, commonly known as sasaengs, shedding light on the darker side of fame and its impact on personal security.
Speaking with renowned Thai entertainer Woody Milintachinda as part of the promotional activities for her debut studio album, ALTER EGO, Lisa revealed that last year, after returning to South Korea, she was alarmed to find an individual waiting outside her residence.
Despite her polite request for the person to leave, the man refused to leave. Later, she reviewed her home's CCTV footage, which further intensified her fears.
"For the first time, last year... When I came home, I saw them waiting, so I told that person 'I'm not comfortable with this.' That's when I really started to worry, because I was completely alone."

She also recalled how someone attempted to enter her taxi forcefully. The person stuck their leg in her car door, without any regard for her personal space and safety. Due to this, Lisa had to invite her female manager to live temporarily with her in her residence to feel safe and sane for some time.
"And there was this one that really terrified me. I was leaving my house to get a taxi. But then, the person tried to get into my taxi, by sticking his leg between the door."
These revelations sparked a significant response from fans and the general public, igniting discussions about the boundaries between celebrities and their admirers.
"That sounds incredibly frightening. It's so important to set boundaries and stay safe in situations like this," one fan wrote on X.
Fans expressed their concerns for the idol's safety after they learned how a man pursued her and tried to get inside her taxi.
"No one should have to deal with something like that, especially in a place where they’re supposed to feel safe. It’s awful that Lisa had to experience this, but it’s good that she’s speaking up about it. Hopefully, this brings more awareness to the issue and leads to better protections for artists and public figures," a fan wrote.
"These whole time, she never talked about the downside of her “celebrity” life, so people assume she is having fun and enjoying a lil too much. In fact, she suffers a lot. I wish she will be safe and dokng well in life," another fan wrote.
"I maybe obsessed with lisa but im not that crazy to follow her every she goes geez that’s scary. hope she’s always safe," another fan added.
Others demanded that the BLACKPINK rapper have tight security with her wherever she would go.
"I'm afraid just be reading this I can't even imagine what was she feeling at the moment," a fan commented.
"Them?? So there were more than one in cahoots together? SICKOS," another fan emphasized.
"I need all securities wherever she goes rn!" another fan added.
