Unfortunately, his second meal was interrupted.
Mingyu kept getting phone calls from a sasaeng (stalker fan) throughout the Weverse Live. By the fourth call, he sighed, exhausted, as it had even caused the Weverse Live to freeze. So, Mingyu politely asked the sasaeng to stop. Sasaeng is a Korean word originating from “sa” (사), meaning “private,” and “saeng” (생), meaning “life,” referring to fans’ invasion into idols’ private lives.

Still, Mingyu continued the live broadcast, attempting to enjoy his meal with CARATs. He told them it was better than eating alone.

Eventually, Mingyu turned on airplane mode so that he wouldn’t be able to receive calls. Again, he addressed the sasaeng, saying they must be bored.

Mingyu reassured his fans that everyone was okay and that they could continue the Weverse Live without interruptions. He even told the viewers to talk kindly in the comments, as many were angry at the sasaeng.

While Mingyu found a solution to the problem after a while, CARATs have brought up other options. Many are frustrated that management hasn’t been more directly involved in protecting their artists from unwanted calls.
mingyu go to your phone settings and turn on the silence unknown callers option PLEAAAAASE how have management not seen this in the calls and helped them do this already https://t.co/U6VrXHdzFK pic.twitter.com/8E2gvBzPbH

This isn’t the first time Mingyu’s live broadcasts have been interrupted by sasaengs‘ calls. Last year, a similar incident occurred, and he politely asked them to stop them, saying the live broadcast would lag if they continued.
mingyu mentioned during the live earlier that he kept getting calls from unknown numbers. please stop trying to call mingyu whether he is doing a weverse live or not

Mingyu is so nice, even in uncomfortable situations. If Hoshi or Jeonghan had been there with him, they would have called out the sasaengs! Read more below.
