"it is true that we have a lot of so-called 'sasaeng fans'. of course we think that the actions of those people stem from their interest and love for us, and we consider their affection for us gratefully. however we truly hope that they could control themselves a bit."
"it's great that (fans) come to see us, but we hope that proper decorum and orderliness in public places be maintained. when there are schedules overseas there are also those who deliberately take the same flight as the members and incessantly take pictures. the discomfort this brings us is one thing; but that even passengers and flight attendants who have done nothing wrong are inconvenienced is what has often made us feel sorry."
"we feel sorry that our neighbors have been greatly disturbed due to fans visiting our dorm, and we hope that (fans) can refrain from behavior that would cause our neighbors harm. especially those who lie down and sleep along the road in front of our dorm, please refrain even more so from doing such dangerous acts. we would be more thankful if fans meet us in official events while keeping proper order."
"recently we saw that there was a rumor about one female fan shaving her hair and coming into the restroom with us, circulating together with a picture. in truth there really are those who follow us to take pictures even when we go into a restroom. however the fan in the picture was not a girl cross-dressing, but a boy."
"there are plans for our official fanclub to be established this year. when this happens, we think that perhaps a more systematic order can be established among the fans that come to see us as well."+

Through an Interview with on the 13th, EXO has unanimously said “The sasaeng fan situation is critical. The fact that our neighbors or people who aren’t related to us at all get hurt instead of us makes angry. And it’s upsetting to see that fans who aren’t sasaeng fans are seen as such because EXO is known for having sasaeng fans.
читать дальшеMember D.O. especially bitterly added “Personally, since there are so many sasaeng fans, I’ve started to feel victimized. And it’s so grave it’s changing my feelings toward regular fans when I see them. My personality has changed. I’ve always somehow been displeased with strangers but because of the sasaeng fans it has worsened”.
EXO is known for having lots of sasaeng fans. If you type their name in a search engine, you’ll see lots of stories about sasaeng fans. Because of the sasaeng fans who come to find them in front of their dorms, their company and of course their houses, the members are disgusted. There are even extreme [sasaeng fans] who obtained their personal phone numbers and called them at night.
The leader, Suho, complained by saying : “I hope you will only come to find us in official places such as concert venues or stages. We’re of course thankful to see you’re passionately supporting us but we also have a personal life. If you love us I hope you’ll refrain from being sasaeng fans”
EXO who debuted last April ranked first on all the music programs with their song ‘Wolf’ that was released in June and is currently following up with ‘Growl’.
