'Teach You a Lesson' Kim Mu Yeol admits childcare is harder than work
On the evening of April 5, Zhang Ling He's studio (@张凌赫工作室official) released a statement condemning sī shēng fàn (sasaeng fans/obsessive fans) and proxy photography (taking photos of celebrities on behalf of others, infringing on privacy and portrait rights).
The statement is as follows:
Recently, our artist Zhang Ling He encountered some sasaeng fans and proxy photographers whose actions seriously disrupted public order while [he was] on a normal travel schedule at a high-speed rail station.
These individuals ignored public safety, surrounded him, took photos or videos at close range, and maliciously blocked his path, resulting in extreme chaos at the scene and severely affecting normal traffic order and the safety of travellers.
Our company expresses extreme indignation at this incident. We strongly condemn such illegal acts that disregard public safety and infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of others. This behavior not only poses a serious threat to the personal safety of Zhang Ling He, but also creates a serious threat and [negative] impacts on public order and the safety of others.
Our company hereby solemnly declares:
1. We firmly oppose any form of sasaeng behavior and unauthorized proxy photography. Such actions cross both legal and moral boundaries and are by no means appropriate fan support.
2. We strongly urge all fans and the public to be rational followers of artists, respect their personal space and privacy, and refocus attention on their work. No form of admiration should come at the expense of public safety or the rights and interests of others.
3. We sternly warn the sasaengs and proxy photographers to immediately cease all acts of mobbing, tailing to take photos, and disseminating images or footage of non-public schedules, as well as other illegal activities. Our company reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility against those involved.
Finally, we sincerely apologize to those who were affected during this itinerary. Our company will further strengthen the safety and security measures for Zhang Linghe and will resolutely oppose any form of infringement of rights.
Hereby declared.
Zhang Ling He also reposted the studio's statement on his personal Weibo:
"Please observe public order everyone, and show your genuine support in a safe [and appropriate] place. I truly do not wish to meet everyone in this way in non-public settings. Thank you all."
This isn't the first time the Pursuit of Jade actor has faced such a situation. In January 2025, he posted a message on his social media addressing sasaeng fans, urging them to stop disrupting the peace of his life.
