WayV Fans Call For SM Entertainment To #ProtectWayV From Sasaengs

Fans are calling for SM Entertainment to take action, following an incident with sasaengs (stalker fans) at WayV‘s filming site.

On a snowy day, sasaengs braved the weather to follow WayV to an undisclosed schedule and snap photos. In response, WayV took photos of the sasaengs and posted messages on Dear. U Bubble to express their frustration.

everyone, we are currently in the midst of filming but some of such people have come and the weather is also like this so why… this is so ridiculous, really. I’m so angry. But I’m sorry everyone, for suddenly being like this.

Now, outraged fans are trending the hashtag #ProtectWayV on Twitter to draw attention to the issue. Many feel that WayV’s agency is not doing enough to protect the group from invasive “fans” who repeatedly cross the line.

ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW SM TAKES A QUICK ACTION WHEN IT COMES TO DATING RUMORS BUT CANT EVEN PROTECT AND SUE THOSE SSNGS FROM PROTECTING THEIR IDOLS???????? #PROTECTWAYV

[!!!] @SMTOWNGLOBAL please protect not only WayV, but all of your artists. People are disrespecting their privacy and it has gone too far.

We would like to advise everyone to not repost the pictures and/or videos uploaded. Let us not support this kind of behavior. #PROTECTWAYV

NCTzens and WayZenNis are also reminding their fellow fans to respect the members’ privacy and human rights at all times.

There is NEVER an excuse for violating someone's personal space and life.

It is basic human decency to respect the limits as to which people are willing to share parts of their lives with you.

No one should have to go to such lengths to express their discomfort.#ProtectWayV

as a FAN you need to know your limits and be aware of your boundaries. idols deserve basic human decency and respect in all aspects just like any other person.#ProtectWayV @SMTOWNGLOBAL @WayV_official
