Sensing that someone was trying to get into his account, he posted a warning on his personal Twitter, hinting about love and obsession.

Kim Yoo Jung
In 2012, reports noted that Kim Yoo Jung almost got kidnapped by a sasaeng fan.
At the time, the actress revealed that the person pretended to be her father.

Ok Taecyeon
The 2PM member also became a target of obsessed fans.
In 2014, Ok Taecyeon posted a warning on his Twitter account, notifying his scary encounter with obsessed fans.
