TWICE Nayeon's fans have called on JYP Entertainment to take action against her foreign stalker who was reportedly in Korea to pursue the female idol.
According to a report by Kpopstarz, ONCEs raised alarm about the stalker and said that his delusions could cause harm to Nayeon. Based on the fans' account, the stalker identified by the Instagram handle @YoshTG believed that Nayeon was his girlfriend.
In a conversation he had with another fan, he reportedly confessed to messaging Nayeon's family and friends on social media to help him meet her.
He further said that he was in Korea and planned to marry Nayeon and bring her to Australia to raise a family. He even talked about going to JYP Entertainment CEO J.Y. Park's house.
Before this, fans have already been keeping a close watch on Josh's online behavior, worrying that his delusions were becoming more alarming. In several engagements, he tried to reach out to netizens who can put him in contact with Nayeon so that he could get closer to her.
In response, fans demanded that JYP Entertainment take more stringent security measures to protect the TWICE member. They emailed JYP's official fan mail account en masse and appealed to the agency to take legal actions against the stalker fan.
"Hello, this is JYP Entertainment. Through SNS and other community sites, we are fully aware of the issue that is presumed to be stalking, and we are requesting legal action while taking protective measures for our artists," JYP responded to the fans.
ONCEs also trended the hashtag #ProtectNayeon on Twitter to raise awareness among the fandom so that everyone can help protect Nayeon from the stalker. They also mobilized the entire fandom to report any information they had about the stalker to help JYP bring the perpetrator to justice.
Amid allegations from TWICE fans, Josh reportedly responded and denied that he was engaged in any threatening behavior against the TWICE member.
It can be recalled that the issue of Nayeon's stalker first surfaced in October and caused alarm and panic among TWICE fans all over the world.
It can be recalled that TWICE's Momo and Dahyun also recently had a scare when they had to cut short one of their broadcasts after they noticed that a fan was able to follow their van from one of their schedules. The members were seen discussing where the fan came from before Momo cut the video short, All Kpop reported.
