SEVENTEEN'S Hoshi handles 'sasaeng calling' situation during live in BEST way possible
SEVENTEEN'S Hoshi is known for his straightforward behavior and savage responses. The K-pop group member was interacting with fans on live stream on September 25. However, the wholesome live stream was paused midway because of an anonymous call. But the idol chose not to attend to it and handled the situation very calmly. He even cracked a joke and requested the caller to dial his band members instead of him. This adorable clip has received a lot of love on the internet.
Within K-pop culture, idols often have to deal with sasaengs, which refers to fans who indulge in obsessive acts that invade the privacy of the idols. They usually go to extreme lengths to stalk K-pop idols and often intrude into their personal space in whatever way they can. Sasaengs' favorite trick is to keep ringing up their idol's personal numbers during live streams, which makes it difficult to track the caller. K-pop group SEVENTEEN's member Hoshi became prey to one such sasaeng.
