• "They're getting worst" — RIIZE’s Anton faces unwanted attention from “Sasaeng” fans during NY Trip

    Anton from RIIZE went to New York for a private trip. But some fans followed him all the way from home to the US. This happened at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Fans are angry because these people didn't respect Anton's privacy.

    Anton was on a personal trip, maybe to see his family during a break. But three big fan accounts watched and shared everything he did. RIIZE fans are upset because this is not how true fans should behave.

    Anton noticed these fans taking his pictures. He looked unhappy in the photos they posted online.

    RIIZE members have had problems with crowds at airports before. This makes them feel unsafe and stressed. Now, airports are not relaxing for Anton anymore, but places where he might get too much attention.

    Many fans are calling these people "Sasaeng". This is a word in the K-Pop world for fans who are too obsessed and invade the privacy of the stars.

    Everyone agrees that real fans should respect their idols' personal space. They say it's not right to follow Anton to New York when he's trying to relax and spend time with his family. They think it's not just wrong, but also creepy.

    Fans are worried about this and want stricter rules to stop it from happening again. They want to create a culture of respect and support, so idols like Anton can enjoy their private lives without fear.

    RIIZE fans are standing together to support Anton and the other members. They say it's important to respect the idols' privacy.

    Here are some comments from the internet:

    "Can people just be normal… girl how’d you even get those photos of him in the airport?? It’s not a group schedule or what, y’all are so crazy and pathetic. Fck you, leave Anton alone."

    "pls leave him alone, he spends time with his fam like that's personal sched, you follow him even took his pic at the airport, the hell is going on with ssg"

    "this sasaeng problem keeps on getting worse coz how tf did you find out. he’s even looking hella confused"

    "Calling urself a “fan” of anton knowing he gets overwhelmed at airports and u still decide to wait in an airport for multiple days just to get a few mediocre pictures"

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
