sasaeng fans crashed baekhyun's brother wedding [2013]
So-called Sasaeng fans, who go above and beyond normal fandom levels of worshipping, are in the spotlight after their behavior at a wedding for the brother of EXO's Baekhyun.

One of the attendees posted a photo of a supposed fan standing barefoot on a table, trying to get a glimpse of her idols, as well as a photo of the EXO members being mobbed by cameras.


Baekhyun’s brother had a wedding on September 28th and EXO went to congratulate the newly married couple. What started out as a caring idea turned into a disaster, as a horde of Sasaengs trespassed into the wedding venue and trashed it. They stood on top of chairs reserved for guests, destroying and moving around wedding props, and spread chaos. As EXO came to the venue, things exploded. The whole lobby was crowded with Sasaeng, who pushed around relatives just to take pictures and record videos of EXO.

Of course, with this special day ruined, Baekhyun’s relatives were not pleased at all, giving him negative looks. On behalf of the Sasaengs, he went around to every guest and apologized. He even went to the waiting room to profusely apologize to the bride, who was shocked at everything that had just occurred.

When EXO sang a congratulatory song, they shoved their way through everyone and stood on chairs to record them singing. When EXO was standing behind the couple cutting their wedding cake, they were trying to take photos of them and get their autographs, blocking the event for the rest of the guests. When Baekhyun took a picture with his family, the Sasaengs were rapidly taking photos of him.

The members were constantly telling them to stop, saying:
“Don’t do this right now. We can do it later.”

Baekhyun, red-faced out of anger and embarrassment, told them:
“This is my one and only brother and his one and only wedding! Why would you do this?!”

As the wedding progressed, the psychos grew more out of control. It came to a point where Baekhyun ignored all of them. One of them hit him violently in the throat, in an attempt to mar his vocals out of anger. This controversy comes after the EXO members personally requested their Sasaeng fans for some privacy.

"The wedding was quiet before the EXO members appeared. When three of them stood up to sing the congratulatory song, they rushed forward and stood on chairs to film videos. During the cake cutting, they ignored the couple since the idols were at the back, they tried to get autographs and pictures They didn't listen when the members told them to stop and they'll do it later. During the family photo, all of them mobbed together and took the picture. Thought it was a press event. Everyone else was getting angry and the couples' faces were getting darker."

The guests and most importantly, Baekhyun’s brother and wife, experienced a very negative and awkward wedding. Baekhyun’s cousin was very upset that she could not chat with Baekhyun, whom she has not seen in over a year.

 
 





 


The following is the translation of Baekhyun’s cousin’s blog post about Baekbom’s wedding (Baekhyun’s brother):

[TRANS] I am sad as Baekhyun’s cousin and therefore leave a post. As Baekhyun and Baekbeom (will refer to as 2Baek)’s cousin, I am so mad I leave this post. As you all know, it was Beom’s birthday and as a relative, I was already there early but as people started arriving, young people I have never seen before appeared and disrupted us, stood there, sat on the chairs that were for guests, etc.

There was no reason for so many young people to be at this wedding so I asked if they were from the bride’s family and they randomly asked, “Did baekhyun arrive yet?”, “When is he coming?” and such. I knew EXO was popular, but I did not expect them to come to a wedding ceremony, my head felt really weird. As more people arrived, Beom was out in the lobby greeting the guests; they were standing there and touching their cameras and camcorders.

About 30 minutes before the ceremony, Baek and EXO arrived and I could not even ask how he was doing after not seeing him for a year. I was pushed here and there it was just crazy; and the lobby wasn’t even a small place yet it was packed with people and at least half of them were following EXO and screaming or flashing their cameras.

We eventually called the workers and sent them out, but for the 5-10 minutes they were there, they messed the place up and Baekhyun was apologizing to everybody, relatives’ expressions did not look too great. The bride heard the noise and was shocked in the waiting room and as Baek was talking to the bride, I was next to them and he continuously apologized and looked very pitiful. It makes me mad although the ceremony went out like planned, I was still kind of upset.
