Suho, a member of South Korea's popular boy group EXO has become the victim of hidden cameras set up by over-enthusiastic fans during his stay in a hotel at an undisclosed location.
Leaked images showed the singer pointing to a hidden camera while working in a hotel gym and telling a security guard to remove it.
Sasaeng is a Korean neologism for over-enthusiastic fans who eagerly stalk and do not hesitate to violate the privacy of celebrities. Sasaeng fans have been criticized for being too intrusive.
Taeyeon, a Girls' Generation member has urged Sasaeng fans to stop calling her at night and stay away from her private life in a series of Instagram posts earlier this year.
Images showing IOI members Kim Se-jung and Yoo Yeon-jung in the bathroom were leaked online by a Sasaeng fan.
Lee Hyori, a former member of South Korea's first-generation girl group FINKL, has moved her house on the southern island of Jeju Island because of frequent and unheralded visits by tourists and fans.
There have been accidents involving Sasaeng fans. In 2013, Big Bang member Seungri was caught up in a car accident in China while trying to get away from over- enthusiastic fans. Some Sasaeng fans deliberately cause car accidents so that they can get a glimpse of the faces of stars.
