I understand that sasaengs are a major problem in the K-Idol world and it's no laughing matter but I believe that they are not the problem, it is the COMPANY that is the problem. First of all people, understand that when it comes to dealing with the public, the COMPANY has to come into play and find out where they're going, what they're doing, how long will they be, how far will they be to ensure that if something were to happen, they will come in swinging and get them out. I don't think they believe in that, I think they believe in "Every nigga for himself!" Where's the security? SM I'm looking at you.
Now I'm going to focus this thing on EXO because I've kept seeing incidents about them and since they have a large fanbase, I'm targeting y'all. I have seen things where fans have linked arms with members, trying to hold their hand, pushing them, shoving them. Hey, I'd love it if Kris would hold my goddamn hand while he was getting to his plane but I know that will never happen and I'm not about to ATTEMPT to make it happen. Reason why? I don't want to Kris to look at me as a problem, I want him to look at me as a fan of his, someone who cares. I want none of them to see me as a liability and I want none of them to smack me in the face.
SM, I know you don't like sasaengs and I know you know that even though they're terrible people, they keep your money train on the tracks. No one buys excessive amounts of merch like they do. But you need to get the won out your face and see that these boys are more than just money makers, they are someone's son, nephew, cousin, stepson, grandson, etc. They belong to someone, not to just y'all so when their loved ones read about their children getting hurt, they're mad at the stalkers but also at YOU because where were YOU when their child got injured?
I bet every dollar I got, Kai's mom was mad as shit hearing about her son getting hurt by a fan.
When they signed their name on the dotted line, they knew that this life wouldn't be easy. I know that too but no person should be living in fear for tomorrow. It breaks my heart knowing that when they go to bed, they close their eyes and hope for the best, wishing that none of that ever happened, only having to open their eyes and go through that again for 24 hours.
SM, step up your game. Every company, step it up. Your little money maker could die tomorrow and whose fault will it be?
