SB19 has taken the P-Pop world by storm. Since “Gento” blasted onto the scene, their fandom, the mighty A’TIN, has grown bigger and has spread like wildfire internationally. But with great popularity comes great responsibility, and some A’TIN seems to be mistaking that responsibility for a backstage pass to the boys’ private lives.
Respectful Fan Conduct
1Z Entertainment just dropped a truth bomb of a statement, urging fans to dial down the obsessive behavior. We’re talking full-on stalker mode that would make private investigators scratch their heads. Allegedly, some A’TIN have been camping outside the 1Z offices like they’re waiting for the next limited-edition merch drop or in demand concert tickets.

Reports of fans camping outside the 1Z Entertainment building have surfaced, some allegedly attempting to enter restricted areas, and even claims of fans going through company trash hoping to find items used by SB19 members.
Unhealthy Fan-Artist Relationship
This kind of behavior isn’t just creepy, it’s downright dangerous. A tragic example is John Lennon of the iconic The Beatles. In 1980, a crazed fan, Mark David Chapman, shot and killed Lennon outside his New York City apartment building. Chapman was obsessed with Lennon and his music, but his actions crossed a dangerous line. We don’t want history to repeat itself, especially not with our P-Pop kings.
Medyo kinakabahan ako sa mga stalker ng esbi. Tapos yung nakita ko pang vid dun sa mga lucky me x sb19 boxes. Jusko po. This is getting out of hand. Sana be mature enough and be cautious lalo sa pagcocomment din sa mga tiktok lives nila. Nakakatakot lang.

The issue extends beyond the physical space of 1Z Entertainment and SB19. Reports indicate some A’TIN may be engaging in petty theft, stealing photocards—promotional items often included with SB19-endorsed products. This not only harms the companies involved but also reflects poorly on the entire fandom.

Here’s the bottom line: Support SB19, shower them with love, and buy all the albums (because, let’s be honest, they’re fantastic). But respect their privacy. Remember, they’re human beings, not zoo animals. Let’s all show our love healthily because true love isn’t and shouldn’t be dangerous!
