As a well-known idol, Jang Wonyoung has dealt with sasaeng fans for a long time. These fans often invade her private moments to take photos, and there have even been posts online claiming to sell her personal details, like phone numbers and messenger IDs, which has caused a lot of controversies.

Jang Wonyoung isn't alone in facing these problems. Many other idols and actors have also struggled with sasaeng fans.

Kim Jaejoong, who has dealt with this issue for over 20 years, spoke out last February, saying, "Sasaeng taxis waiting in certain spots, drivers chasing after customers, and people who earn money by invading someone's private time and emotions like they're on a mission—I hope you face serious consequences. I've recorded footage from all six of my car's black boxes and will keep gathering evidence."

Byeon Woo Seok, who recently gained fame as the star of tvN's "Lovely Runner," also shared his worries about privacy invasions.

He warned, "Following my car after schedules, visiting and filming in private spaces like my home without permission, and illegally getting personal information must stop to avoid further privacy violations."

Jannabi recently shared behind-the-scenes stories about their new music, including their collaboration with aespa’s Karina.

On May 13, the band appeared as guests on the SBS Power FM 'Escape from Two O'Clock Cultwo Show' where Choi Jung Hoon and Kim Do Hyung opened up about their latest work.

Jannabi released their highly anticipated fourth full album Sound of Music pt.1 on April 28, and the title track "In the Name of Love!" featuring Karina quickly captured attention.

Choi Jung Hoon explained that the inspiration for the song came from his love for anime, particularly Sailor Moon.

He shared a humorous story, saying, "I came up with the title first, and in Sailor Moon, there's a line that says, 'In the name of justice, I won't forgive you.' But I mistakenly thought it said, 'In the name of love,'" which made everyone laugh during the interview.

When asked about his personal connection with Karina, Choi Jung Hoon revealed, “The song had a bright, mysterious feeling, and I wanted to make sure listeners felt the same emotion we had while making it.”

He also shared that he felt Karina was the perfect fit for the song, saying, "There’s a word ‘truth’ in the lyrics, and I thought if I sang it, it might sound too heavy. I wanted someone to bring brightness to it, and Karina immediately came to mind."

Choi Jung Hoon further explained, "The moment she sang that part in the recording studio, I knew the song was complete. I was so moved, I wrote her a letter."

Kim Do Hyung also spoke about the recording process, sharing, "It took about 3-4 hours, but Karina didn’t get tired at all. Her passion really impressed us."

Their collaboration is already making waves, and fans are excited to see what Jannabi and Karina bring next!
