Renjun of NCT DREAM is renowned for storming out at anyone who violate his and his bandmates’ privacy, especially sasaeng. The K-pop star recently called out an anti-fan for disclosing personal information, giving them the taste of their own medicine.
The NCT DREAM member disclosed a phone number on Bubble app on June 20. He said in the follow-up message that he is releasing this number since the caller is bothering him and violating his privacy.
Furthermore, fans disclosed that not only did this person obtain Renjun’s contact details, but they also made the information public, seriously jeopardising the privacy of the K-pop sensation and his bandmates.

NCT DREAM’s Agency Faces Backlash
While many NCT DREAM supporters were pleased to see the sasaeng (anti-fan) punished for their own antics, many others blamed SM Entertainment, the group’s management company. Supporters retaliated against the corporation for failing to shield its artists from these kinds of stalkers, who pose a serious risk to the celebrities’ private life.
In the meantime, it appears like sasaeng attacks in the K-pop industry are occurring more frequently on a daily basis. The mental health and privacy of numerous K-pop idols are severely harmed by these compulsive, stalker followers, who do everything from disclose private information to mobs at airports. Fans believe the agencies should handle this, even though celebrities frequently take issues into their own hands and confront the sasaengs on social media.
it's ridiculous how renjun, who's on a hiatus for health reasons, has to reveal the sasaeng numbers on his own platform and defend himself because sm could not and has never taken action to protect his privacy and wellbeing 🙃

Please be more protective of your artist. Quickly give the sasaeng or the disturber the proper punishment, the safety and comfort of the artist is the number one priority.@SMTOWNGLOBAL #SM_PROTECT_RENJUN#PROTECT_RENJUN
