Super Junior's Kyuhyun opened up about a genuinely frightening encounter with obsessive fans during his dorm days, detailing how far some sasaengs will go to get close to their idols.

Appearing on MBN's upcoming show The Psychopath I Met, which premiered a teaser on July 17th, Kyuhyun recounted the invasive experience from his years living in the Super Junior dorm. When asked if he'd ever felt afraid at home, he didn't hesitate to share what happened.

"I lived in the dorm for 18 years," Kyuhyun explained. "Our dorm was broken into by fans too." But the story took an even more unsettling turn when he revealed the specific method these fans used.

The dorm was a corridor-style apartment, and sasaeng fans found an audacious hiding spot: inside the building's fire hydrant. "Someone was hiding inside the fire hydrant," Kyuhyun said, immediately shocking his co-hosts.

Co-host Jun Hyun Moo reacted with disbelief: "They were inside there? Nobody really pays attention to fire hydrants." Fellow guest Nucksal added, "Nobody would think someone could be inside a fire hydrant."

What made this even more calculated was the fans' actual goal. From their concealed position near the dorm entrance, they could watch residents entering and memorize the passcode. Kyuhyun explained the chilling strategy: "Because the fire hydrant and the door are close, they secretly hid there and watched the passcode."

Reflecting on the experience, Kyuhyun noted that living in corridor-style apartments requires extra vigilance—a sobering reminder of the reality idols face regarding fan safety.

The story underscores the serious problem of sasaeng culture in K-Pop, where obsessive fans cross legal and ethical boundaries in pursuit of their idols. While Kyuhyun's anecdote is shocking, it's unfortunately not unique; the industry has long grappled with fan invasions, stalking, and privacy violations. His willingness to discuss it publicly helps raise awareness about an issue that continues to affect artist safety and mental health.
