Super Junior's Donghae & EXO's Sehun Take A Stand After Donghae's Instagram Gets Hacked

Yet another idol has been hurt by anti-fans on social media.

There has been a recent rise in idols being targeted by fans on social media sites, and several idols have experienced being hacked.

Super Junior's Eunhyuk and U-KISS's Eli have verified that their Twitter accounts have been hacked in the past, and, on July 22, Super Junior's Donghae ended up deleting his Instagram account because of hackers. EXO's Sehun also experienced an incident, leading to him making a statement about both his own experience and Donghae's.

Donghae first posted on his Twitter a message to his fans about the hacking, alerting them to the situation. He even took the time to write the message in English, so as to be able to communicate with not only Korean fans but also international ones:

"Someone hacked my into my Instagram account so i deleted it. It was a place where I could communicate with my fans- not sure who did it but all i can say is that I don't feel really good at the moment."

Donghae then Tweeted a second post with his new Instagram handle, dongdonglee1015.

At the same time that this was all going on, EXO's Sehun also posted two messages on Instagram. The second one was about Donghae's new account, but the first was quite vehement towards fans:

"This is the first and last time that I will say this. I haven't done anything so why everyday am I getting text messages? Authorization number...Password changes...A different IP is trying to log in... If you keep acting in this ridiculous way I won't stay still."

Idols use social media to communicate with fans, but fans and anti-fans see the multitude of idols' accounts merely as another way to show their dedication. Donghae and Sehun are two people who update pretty regularly, and it seems that they will put up with this abuse again.  However, if hackers keep acting this way, then many idols may leave social media sites.
