Unfortunately, with K-Pop comes sasaengs, or stalker fans who take extreme measures to follow and invade the privacy of idols. Numerous stories about sasaengs prove just how scary it can be.

Kim Jaejoong, who has had his fair share of sasaeng encounters, has gone through it all as a second-generation idol. He has expressed his frustration on the matter many times, gathering evidence to serve justice.

Recently, he dropped his fourth full-length album, FLOWER GARDEN, to celebrate his 20th debut anniversary.

However, one song in particular went viral online as the title and lyrics seemed to be about sasaengs. Track 10, titled “Don’t,” warns the sasaengs to stop bothering him.

On a radio show, fans found it funny that he used such a bright and cheerful melody on such a heavy topic about sasaengs.

“Radio DJ: Honestly, you’re sending a warning to the sasaengs using such a lovely melody.

Jaejoong: You’re right.”

Let’s take a closer look at the lyrics, shall we?

“I shouldn’t have answered the phone
I cried hearing your voice
When I was busy, you were nowhere to be seen
But you call the moment I get home, yeah yeah yeah
Let me rest a bit
I’m finally taking a break
But you still call at dawn

Don’t call me, even if I change my number, you call
Please, don’t call me
Don’t call me every night
Don’t call me, I won’t answer again
Let me sleep now
Don’t call me, don’t call me again
I can’t breathe, don’t sell my number for money

You ask where I am
You know where I am
There’s a GPS under my car, somewhere on me
You know my social security number, passport number, why why why
How do you know all this? It’s so scary
You might as well start a detective agency

Don’t come to see me, even if I move, you find me
Please, don’t come to see me, don’t come every night
Don’t come to see me, don’t come to see me again
Stop following me
Don’t come to see me, don’t come to see me again
Seriously, don’t follow me for money

Please don’t call call me
Please don’t follow me

Please don’t call call me
Please don’t follow me

Hey, can we use this song?
Wait a minute, let’s do it again”

Netizens praised him for his unique way of dissing the sasaengs in his own style.

While rappers are dissing the haters on social media, Jaejoong takes it on with music. This is truly art.

JYJ had a really bad case of sasaeng fans and already had a special broadcast on ‘Unanswered Questions’ back in 2012 regarding this. It’s now 2024, and he’s really generous in writing a song without any cursing when no one would say anything even if he did.

He’s been struggling with sasaengs for twenty years, they should be grateful he sang this song with this much grace.

The struggle with sasaengs is all the same. He wrote this song to bring some consolation and laughter to the juniors who are struggling too. Show support for his title track, ‘Glorious Day’.

This is a b-side track and as someone who struggled a bit longer with sasaengs, he wrote this to bring consolation to junior artists who are having a hard time. He also purposely made the melody have a contrasting sound to the lyrics.

What are your thoughts on the song?
