CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa asked fans not to come visit his apartment on his Twitter Wednesday morning.

“I understand your love and I feel very grateful for that, but I would like to ask you not to come to my place,” wrote the singer. “My parents were shocked when they visited me for Chuseok holiday.”

Many stars including Jung have been suffering from similar problems over many years, triggered by so-called “Sasaeng fans,” referring to crazed fans who stalk celebrities and sneak into their private lives.

Though a number of fans have been voicing their concerns over the issue, the extreme fandom is still prevalent in Korea’s entertainment scene.
