Concerns about privacy are nothing new in the K-pop world. In recent years, several high-profile events have raised concerns about the treatment of K-pop idols and their privacy. Last year, BTS’s Suga talked about how fans who are too close to stars can hurt their mental health.
The trouble with Taehyun shows how important it is for fans and people in the business to respect the privacy of K-pop stars. Fans can show their support for their favourite heroes while also understanding that they need to have a life outside of work.
