Boundaries must be set and his love for his brothers is deep. He just wants to protect them which is so kind. They already had issues with stalkers a few years ago he does not want a repeat of that. We Atinys respect that always.
It always scares me whenever I see how these groups/individuals are mobbed when they are out somewhere. Just politely say hello, I love your work and keep walking. Don’t draw attention, that’s how bad things happen. The mom in me just wants to protect all of them. ❤❤❤
I am with him on this one, they need to be able to have some privacy to live and go around like normal people. If you are a fan you will show respect to your idols.
idols should have their private space and time without the constant pestering of fans. Fans who care about their mental health would never behave that way and would leave them alone. San is absolutely right to request this from people. He already gives so much time to fans.....
hes talking abt the fans who stalk them and follow them everywhere right? like a sassang? bc I live in LA so if I run into them by chance I would want to say hi,, of course if their too far or I see them from a distance then ill just admire from afar lolol
I am Atiny and am consumed by ATEEZ, but I just can't bring myself to disturb their peace. They give SO MUCH to Atiny already, how could I? If we say we love them so much, let's respect their wishes and NOT follow them. I just hope I can get a ticket to their upcoming concert or Kcon.
Of course it would be a dream come true to meet the members, but the possibility of making them uncomfortable is mortifying. They should be able to relax and have fun without having to look over their shoulder all the time.
Sometimes i think what if one day i met an idol i like by chance, i would really want to say hi and keep it as a special memory but im afraid i will make them feel uncomfortable because of how many times people stop them to say hi as well or just the bad people who stalk them😢 i really cant decide
Same, I saw Ateez at a restaurant 2 days ago but I didn't say hi because I didn't want to invade their privacy :( I walked right behind San less than a foot away omg
@@lalena_20I don’t see how saying hi should be an issue! It’s more about taking pictures & following their schedules. If it’s a mutual love, fan to celeb, I’m sure they’d be just as happy to have you say hi.
I have to say I do agree with him. And he was very polite and respectful in saying it. When you see somebody who's famous. It's okay to say hi, but keep walking. Let them enjoy their time out and about.
Sannie is right. They work so hard to make every concert, or everything they do special for us Atinys. I understand saying hi, thank you but don't stalk them. Its really scary being stalked and can really give people a panic attack or worse. We love them enough to care about their mental health too. Lets show the world Atinys are the best fans in the world.
I was scared to watch it cuz I feared it would leave a bad taste in my mouth - I really don't know how people can go so far - but he handled it so well that I have a whole new level of respect for. Despite surely being deeply uncomfortable at times, this was so professional and kind. Honesty if I saw them coming my way, I'd sooner turn and walk another direction than try to seek them out. I'd be terrified to bother them as they deserve their space just as much as anyone else ♡♡♡
I think the people who follow them are not the same people who respectfully pay for the app and watch them live, in Korean even. But also I think San is smart enough to know that these videos will reach their intended target someday
It's sad he has to say that, but he's right. Every fan wants to meet their favorite artist, but you have to respect their space and their boundaries as well. From the videos/vlogs I've seen in the past, it seems like they don't really have much of a security detail following them around (if any) so I do worry for their safety, since a small minority of "fans" cannot control themselves, and even regular fans could pose a problem in a large enough group. We need to remember they are not just celebrities, but above all, they're people.
Is it ok if I share this on my X account cause I feel like it needs to be seen. He was very respectful in telling this. Much respect to him. Thank you for sharing
It’s a reasonable request. Much ❤ to San for addressing this issue. It must be so scary to get mobbed😢 For their wellbeing and performance longevity, I hope fans can respect their boundaries.
I like how he implied that real atiny wouldn't follow them around, saying the stalkers aren't real fans and don't value the members personal space, which is true💅🏽
It is sad that this has to be voiced by artists so many times. People still don't seem to understand that being an idol/artist is a profession. Of course it's to entertain people as well but they are still human. I get that some might crave attention but this is just not it. Nobody wants a stalker. It hurts! So it's upsetting that San had to say this again 😔
Treat others the way you yourself would like to be treated. Do we all not wish to be respected and not have our privacy invaded? You show your love, when you show your respect for one another. Peace ✌️
They deserve privacy and to not be stalked by fans...no matter how obsessive we are. They are not possessions but humam beings. That ssid though, I wish companies didnt make it so expensive for fansigns...its unfair and many many will never get the opportunity to meet and greet their idols. ...i think this is one reason why some fans may push the boundaries. (Still not ok)
I think its not for the fans at coachella, coz he said, don't follow when he goes to eat or in front of hotel This is must be about the fans at French, when hongjoong & wooyoung attend the fashion show, and the fans waiting in front of their hotel and said that it is coincidence while took out Ateez photo book & ask for them to sign it 😂😂
Because let's be honest....nobody wants to followed even if its not anything mean...🥺😓 We all would like to get closer to them...but this should be forbidden I want them to feel okay to go outside not to be worried 🙏🙏💜
Understand they have limited of freedom to be happy n enjoy their time with their members ...so fans let them enjoy their time..just thinks if we are in their shoes.
I think I'm one of the few Atiny who would not go up to any member of Ateez if I saw them on the street. I know that they appreciate us and would kindly say hello, but I do not want to disturb what they're doing no matter what it may be. They're entitled to have private lives that aren't privy even to Atiny. I've seen many celebs on the streets in my travels and have not yet gone up to one of them.
dude there are these two girls on instagram that run a shop that i unfollowed because they ran into ateez so many times at coachella that it was weird af. like they saw them at a restaurant TWICE and then approached them? hell nah get away dude just say hi and keep walking if you do anything at all
I saw a different vid where two girls found Ateez at my local mall (I’m a Coachella local 🙋🏽♀️) on one of their days off during Coachella weekend one. As much as I would’ve love to see them there myself, it still felt wrong to approach them like that, like they were probably having some time off before going for Day 2. Then these girls just go up them and also film them as well, they lowkey gave off stalker vibes.
@@lorelimenache3962 Yeah the atiny at Coachella seriously wouldn’t leave them alone. I just keep seeing more videos of people running into them and filming them and asking for pics, like it’s such a weird thing to do. They don’t want to be harassed constantly
But it's still good that this has been reposted. As a reminder to those who are over-stepping their boundaries most especially this Coachella time. Please repost it at X
I hate people like this... don't bother people, they don't just do this to famous people,These obsessed people can even do this to someone passing by on the street....And...it's terrible
Que no lo sigan en publico como un creep or stalker. Por ejemplo "fans" que los sigen después de sus conciertos para saber dónde esta su hotel y luego esperan afuera por horas para verlos y tomarle photos. Dijo que si se encuentra con un Atiny en publico no le molestaría si le dicen hola pero no le gusta cuando son personas que los sigan cuando estan tratando de disfrutar su tiempo libre.
The fact that he has to choose every word and talk to his fans like he's trying to calm down a mentally ill person holding a knife is crazy. He shouldn't say things like 'I think of atiny as my friends', that's extremely fake and parasocial. Obviously no artist cares about their fans that much because they have no connection and don't know each other. Kpop should start getting real because this is a clear threat to idols' privacy and even life. They're just doing their job to make living
This. Honestly. If they don’t want obsessive fans they need to just start getting real with people. That’ll never happen though as it’s out of their control and part of their job is to maintain those parasocial relationships.
