On the 21st, on social media X (formerly Twitter) and other SNS, images of the hotel interior where the NCT sub-group NCT 127 stayed during their tour in the United States in October last year went viral. The video was filmed by a foreign fanatic fan, showing scenes of the bedroom, personal items, clothes, and suitcases.

What's noteworthy is that the clothes in the video are indeed the same as what Jaehyun actually wore, and the interior of the room is very similar to the background when NCT members go live. It is reported that this foreign-obsessed fan managed to steal the hotel room key of NCT member Jaehyun, and entered the room without permission while all members were away.

Later on, several fans who had seen the video filed reports on SM Entertainment's newly established "KWANGYA 119" reporting board. As a result, SM Entertainment plans to take appropriate legal action based on all the reports from fans.

On the 22nd, SM Entertainment told the Korean media, "This act seriously infringes on the artist's private life and is illegal. Currently, we are collecting information about everyone who uploaded and distributed the video for the first time," and announced, "After obtaining cooperation from domestic and foreign websites and law firms, we will request a thorough investigation from the investigative agency."

Additionally, former NCT members Do Young and Tae Yong also complained during a NAVER V LIVE session, saying, "I get calls from unknown numbers." This shows that the disturbance caused by sasaeng fans is becoming increasingly severe, even bordering on criminal behavior. Due to this, the demand for stricter punishment of sasaeng fans is growing louder.

"They should be sued by the hotel"
"Wow.... don't say they are just crazy fans.... they are clearly stalkers...."
"Would real fans harass the singer like this?"
"Breaking into a hotel room to film, this is too horrifying. They are even crazier than obsessed idol fans"

  "I'm not a fan but even I'm scared... What is going on with this world.."
"Those who publicly share the flight and lodging information of performers should be treated the same."
"Really, this is why I can understand why celebrities are under so much pressure."
"It could not be a stolen card, probably a collaboration with hotel staff to use the master key."
"I hope they can be severely punished", sparking a heated response.
