Imagine sitting down to enjoy a meal when suddenly, a mob of frenzied fans comes charging at you. This terrifying scenario unfolded for Zhang Hao, a member of the popular K-pop group ZEROBASEONE, when he was reportedly chased by a crowd of sasaeng fans in China. The shocking footage has gone viral, igniting a wave of concern and outrage across social media.

The incident, captured by what seems to be surveillance cameras in a bustling food court, reveals a chaotic scene where a man, presumed to be Zhang Hao, dashes through tables and diners, desperately trying to escape his pursuers. The frenzy of fans, rather than dissipating, only grows as more people join in the chase, turning what should have been a peaceful meal into a nightmarish experience.

As the video spreads, many viewers express their disbelief and concern for the young star’s safety. A viral post on Instiz recounts how Zhang was merely trying to enjoy his lunch when a throng of obsessive fans disrupted his meal, forcing him to flee for his safety. The post reads, “Wow, Zhang Hao being chased by sasaeng fans in China is just insane. Even popularity can be a double-edged sword.”

What makes this situation all the more alarming is the sheer volume of fans involved. Instead of retreating when they realized their idol was in distress, the crowd seemed to swell, further invading his personal space. A tweet responding to the video captures the essence of the problem: “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.”

Many are rightfully labeling this incident as a prime example of sasaeng behavior, which refers to obsessive fans who infringe upon celebrities' private lives. The comments pouring in are a mixture of disbelief and criticism. Observers have remarked, “They look like zombies, seriously,” and “If you're a fan, at least pretend not to notice when he's trying to eat at a restaurant.”

This disturbing video continues to trend, prompting calls for agencies to implement stronger measures to protect idols from such harassment, particularly during their personal time. The question looms: how far is too far when it comes to fandom?
