2PM's Junho Implores Sasaeng Fans To Stop Following Him Home

2PM member Junho has taken to Twitter to beg so-called “sasaeng fans” to respect personal boundaries.

Late in the evening on August 7, Junho posted a series of three tweets addressing those who had recently followed him home. He uses the term “sasaeng fans,” which refers to an obsessive “fan” that invades a celebrity’s private life through inappropriate behavior. The full text is as follows:

“To those few of you, please stop following me home. Not only I, but also the people around me are having a hard time. If this continues, I will have to leave this home. Do you enjoy seeing me in pain and having a hard time? I try not to write this kind of post usually, but I’m finding this so tiring. I beg of you. Please!

“Throughout my career as a singer, I’ve always thought that everyone who gave me love is a fan. But I’ve now started to think about the term ‘sasaeng fans’ that people often talk about, because I’ve met these few people who have given a hard time not only to me, but also to the people around me.

“I hope that I will remember you all in my heart as fans that I love, for as long as I am your singer, your actor, and your celebrity in the future. I want us to have good manners and sincerely cherish and support each other. I beg of you.”

몇몇 여러분 집에 좀 따라오지 마세요. 저 뿐만 아니라 주위 사람들이 많이 힘들어 합니다. 그럼 저도 이 집에서 나가야 합니다. 제가 고통스럽고 힘들어 하는 모습이 즐거우신가요? 웬만해서 저 이런글 안쓰는데 너무 힘듭니다. 부탁드립니다. 제발!

저는 가수로 살아오면서 사랑을 주신 모든 분들을 다 같은 팬이라고 생각하며 살아왔습니다. 하지만 제가 아닌 주위 사람들까지 힘들게 하시는 몇 몇 분들을 만나면서 흔히 말하는 사생팬 이라는 것에 대한 생각을 하게 되었습니다.

제가 앞으로도 여러분의 가수 여러분의 배우 여러분의 연예인으로 오랫동안 남을 때 까지. 제 맘 속에도 모두 사랑하는 팬♥️ 으로 기억이 되었으면 좋겠습니다. 서로 예의와 매너를 지키면서 진심으로 서로를 아끼고 응원하고 싶습니다. 부탁드립니다.
