During a recent Weverse live stream, aespa's Winter faced an unfortunate incident where she was repeatedly interrupted by a Sasaeng.

During her latest live stream, one Sasaeng fan got a hold of Winter's phone number and continuously called her throughout the broadcast. The interruptions occurred multiple times throughout the stream, causing the stream to become disconnected.

Winter continued to give warning to the Sasaeng by even naming her live stream as "Don't call me" and later left a message.

She wrote, "Please don't call... Why are you calling? Why are you making a call? Are you curious if this is my number? Yes, it's my number! It's mine. So! When I'm hanging out with fans and MYs, please don't call..." expressing her frustration and plea to stop receiving interruptions during her interaction with fans.

Korean netizens commented:

"It seems like someone keeps calling during every livestream these days... It really looks like Sasaengs are harassing Winter badly right now."

"When you watch the full video where Winter talks about the Sasaeng calls during her livestream, she doesn't get serious or angry; she even talks about it with a smile. Yet, some people comment, saying things like 'Why does she speak like that about Sasaengs, they're fans too,' or 'What's wrong with Winter's personality?' Do they even think? Even if she had been serious, it wouldn't be an issue. It's really disgusting how some people just want to find something to criticize no matter what."

"I really like that she's telling the Sasaeng to stop directly."

"Why can't she report them for stalking."

"Sasaengs don't just call during live streams, right? They could call at any time. The fact that Winter asks them not to call when she's communicating with MYs suggests that it happens often, even in her everyday life. She can't always keep her phone on Do Not Disturb mode, so she's genuinely asking them to stop..."

"It's really concerning how severe the sasaeng issue is, yet Winter still tries to communicate with her fans without showing disdain or resentment. It's impressive and also a bit sad that she continues to make an effort despite the harassment...ㅠㅠ"

"It's not that Winter is making it obvious or anything; she's likely using her own phone for the Weverse live stream. If calls come in during the stream, it disrupts the live broadcast, and she has to end it. That's why she's asking them to stop."
