A viral post on Korean forum Instiz has left fans shocked and concerned, revealing that ZB1‘s Zhang Hao was recently chased by sasaeng fans while trying to eat at a restaurant in China.
The post, titled “Wow, Zhang Hao Getting Chased by Sasaeng Fans in China is Insane,” described a disturbing encounter where the popular idol was forced to flee from a growing crowd of overzealous fans.
According to the original poster, Zhang Hao had just sat down for a public meal when a group of sasaengs—fans known for breaching idols’ privacy and boundaries—began to surround him. The pressure and attention became so overwhelming that he had no choice but to leave mid-meal.
“He was eating when sasaengs gathered, so he had to run away mid-meal. That’s him in the front, running,” the post stated, with what was assumed to be a blurry accompanying image or video. The poster also expressed the frustration, “Even popularity is a double-edged sword.”
While the visuals weren’t detailed, the incident’s gravity sparked an outpouring of concern online. The post quickly went viral, with many netizens condemning the invasive behavior and calling for stronger protection for idols, especially when they are abroad.
- Hul, that’s scary.
- So scary.
- They look like zombies, it’s terrifying.
- Ugh, they look like zombies.
- The video is shocking — the sasaengs chasing after them seemed endless.
- Wow, they really look like zombies.
- I mean, if you’re a fan, at least pretend not to notice when they’re eating at a restaurant. Chinese fans are really hopeless.
The issue of sasaeng fans remains a persistent problem in the K-pop industry. These individuals often stalk idols, leak personal information, and engage in behavior that poses real safety threats. Zhang Hao’s experience is just one of many incidents that highlight how celebrity status can come at a heavy personal cost.
