About this listen

Where do we draw the line between admiration and obsession? This episode dives into the unsettling world of sasaengs — fans who stalk, harass, and invade the lives of K-pop idols under the guise of love. We explore how toxic fan culture festers, why idols have little protection, and what this says about celebrity, control, and the limits of fandom.


Because loving an artist shouldn’t mean haunting them.
