Lisa Discusses Troubling Experiences with Sasaeng Fans, Expressing Her Fear and Anxiety

On February 27, Lisa engaged in an in-depth interview with the prominent Thai entertainer Woody Milintachinda, as part of the promotional activities for her new album, “Alter Ego.”

Throughout their 30-minute discourse, one of the key topics Woody explored was the toll of a decade in the limelight on Lisa’s mental well-being, particularly instances that have incited anxiety. To this end, Lisa candidly shared her harrowing encounters with sasaeng fans—an unsettling phenomenon she had only heard male idols discuss prior to her own experiences.

Lisa recalled a particularly alarming event that transpired last year. After she landed in South Korea and greeted fans at the airport, she returned home alone only to discover someone waiting outside her residence. Despite her request for the individual to leave, the moment filled her with dread. Reviewing the CCTV footage later, she was struck by the reality of her vulnerability in that encounter.

In a different incident, while getting into a taxi from her home, a persistent follower used their leg to block the door, attempting to gain access. This blatant disregard for her personal space left Lisa feeling unsafe, prompting her to request that her female manager stay with her for added security and reassurance.

Lisa also disclosed that her challenges with privacy are not confined to South Korea. Similar threats have arisen in her residence in Los Angeles, leading her to feel continually insecure and exposed in public settings. The persistent anxiety surrounding the risk of being stalked or harmed has profoundly affected her sense of safety.

Recent discussions in the entertainment industry highlight the chilling reality faced by many celebrities. During a guest appearance on a Japanese show, singer Jaejoong, a former member of DBSK, shared his own experiences, revealing that he once purchased a Ferrari supercar purely for the ability to quickly escape from aggressive fans pursuing him. In an unsettling twist, one devoted fan acquired an equally fast vehicle to stay in pursuit.

Moreover, the obsession of some fans reached an extreme when a particular individual invested in an apartment directly across from Jaejoong’s residence, equipped with a telescope to spy on him daily. This forced the artist to keep his curtains drawn at all times, perpetually living in a state of vigilance within his own home.

Lisa’s disclosures shine a spotlight on the darker aspects of celebrity culture, where the boundaries of personal privacy are often crossed by fervent admirers. By openly discussing her experiences, Lisa emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced security protocols for public figures and promotes a broader understanding of the emotional and psychological repercussions of invasive fan behavior.
