What happens when adoration turns into obsession? A disturbing video of ZEROBASEONE's Zhang Hao being chased by a horde of fans has gone viral, sparking outrage and concern about celebrity safety.

The now-infamous clip appears to be taken from surveillance footage in a bustling restaurant in China. In this alarming scene, a man—believed to be Zhang Hao—abruptly sprints through a crowded food court, desperately trying to evade a swarm of frenzied fans, all while navigating tables and casual diners.

According to a viral post on Instiz, this incident unfolded while he was simply enjoying a meal. Suddenly, the peaceful outing transformed into a chaotic chase, forcing him to abandon his meal mid-bite. As the video shows, the very moment when one fan notices him, the group expands, with more people joining in on the wild pursuit.

A user on social media exclaimed, “Wow, Zhang Hao being chased by sasaeng fans in China is just insane. Even popularity can be a double-edged sword.” This incident highlights a troubling reality of celebrity culture where idols like Zhang Hao are often stalked and harassed, even during their most mundane activities.

What makes this scenario even more disturbing is the sheer number of people involved. Instead of retreating, the mob grows, revealing the extreme lengths some fans will go for a glimpse of their idol. The video paints a chaotic picture of what celebrity life can entail, where personal boundaries are utterly disregarded.

Many viewers are horrified by the blatant disregard for Zhang Hao’s personal space. One user tweeted, “These sasaengs shamelessly chasing, filming, and invading Zhang Hao’s personal space while he was trying to eat at a hotpot restaurant in China. This behavior needs to stop, and he deserves better security for his safety.”

In the comments section, opinions vary wildly, with one user exclaiming, “Huh? What is this even…?” while another quipped, “They look like zombies, seriously.” A third commented, “If you’re a fan, at least pretend not to notice when he’s trying to eat at a restaurant. Chinese fans really go too far.”

This incident has ignited a broader conversation about the responsibilities of fan culture, with many advocating for stronger measures from entertainment agencies to protect idols from such harassment during their personal time. As the video continues to trend, the call for change grows louder.
