Previously, a topic titled “ENHYPEN’s sasaeng fans threatened Winter” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate.
The topic compiled various fan accounts detailing the issues aespa’s Winter faced during her stay in Shanghai, China, for a group fansign.
In particular, the female idol was stalked by a group of people, who blocked the way to her car and cursed at her in person, to the point the bodyguards had to open the umbrella to shield the female idol.
Additionally, according to the Chinese fanbase of Winter, the aforementioned group of individuals also illegally obtained aespa’s travel routes and hotel address, then threatened Winter and the other members in an underground parking lot. They took photos of the members while surrounding them and hurling insults at them.
It was also revealed via the Weibo accounts of the people involved that they were ENHYPEN fans, meaning that they likely attacked Winter due to her dating news with ENHYPEN’s Jungwon, despite the news having already been refuted.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Last time, fans of NCT’s Mark attacked Winter after they attended the Polo event together. These fans of male idols have seriously lost it
- The curses are so vulgar and I even heard Korean… The Chinese fans are seriously so obsessed
- Wasn’t the dating news false? Why are they attacking Winter?
- How is the false dating news Winter’s fault? What the heck is wrong with these people
- Hearing about this is seriously bad, an the fact that SM has not done anything about this is frustrating
