Wooyoung is gaining attention for his candid call-out to sasaengs, showing the idol has had enough of stalker activity.

Here's what Wooyoung said.

ATEEZ Wooyoung Claps Back Against Sasaengs on Live Broadcast

Wooyoung opened a live broadcast on YouTube on September 4, when he interacted with ATINYs.

During the livestream, the attention of fans and netizens seemingly went to Wooyoung's unexpected payback to sasaengs.

For additional context, sasaeng is the Korean term for a fan who exhibits obsessive stalking behavior. Boundaries pale with sasaengs, as they are notorious for barging into idols' private lives and are often the subjects of discussion across the K-pop community.

On Wooyoung's livestream, the idol first mentioned that he had read many comments from viewers, and based on what he saw, many have been asking for other members to appear. Wooyoung then pointed out that it's been a long time since he held a live.

Wooyoung: "Why are you keep looking for other members? It's been a long time since I appeared (in a live broadcast)."

Before his livestream concluded, Wooyoung disclosed his inner thoughts about sasaengs. The "Déjà Vu" singer revealed that he has been receiving unsolicited text messages in his KaKaoTalk, and firmly asked these stalkers to stop immediately.

Wooyoung: "At first, I really didn't want to say this but, I think it seems really serious these days, so I'm just going to say this once. Please, stop sending me messages in KaKaoTalk. It's really stressful for me. Please don't do that."

Wooyoung: "It's not a good approach. Don't do it. Do you understand? I'm not interested."

They commented:

•  "Wow, for real, I admire him for being so brave in calling out those sasaengs."

•  "Sasaengs also need to get a life since they don't have anything else to do but invade the privacy of others."
