Petition on Korean Sasaeng Fans

Here's a petition on those craaazy Korean Sasaeng fans (I don't recall them being this bad in Japan?). Okay, guys I made a petition at Change.org to get more action taken against these fans. Sure, some of you may think that this is useless...but what's the point unless we try? I'm tying to spread it, so if you're able to help - that's great!

If you don't know about these crazy fans here's some info:

'Sasaeng Fans', or 'World Fans' have long been a problem with the Korean music industry. These fans are driven to horrifying extents - some older and some younger. They take stalking their favorite idols far beyond normal, for some it becomes their lives. Some of these fans are still in school, they skip it or may even drop school to do the stalking. There are even taxis that cater to these fans and wait outside of celebrity home or broadcasting stations. They do anything just to get the superstar's attention - may it be negative, some would even feel pride in causing their idol pain (thinking thoughts as - "He now has a bruise, that I made!") Korean idols have to revolve their lives around having to avoid, or even escape these fans.

Some Examples of what these fans have done to get the 'attention' from there idols are: sending 'love letters' to their idols written in period blood or normal blood, hurting the idol (cases such as with a bag of rocks and breaking the idol's pinky finger), making copies of keys to their homes, causing car accidents, writing on celebrity home walls, calling idols and asking where their at, and more recently installing security cameras (or CCTV) in the parking lot of an idol's home.

It's time for a change in how these fans are handled, Korean idols shouldn't be hiding behind a wall, scared, or have to face continuous harassment to themselves or within their (meant to be) private homes.
