Shinhwa’s Junjin and Kwon Hyun Bin talked about dealing with sasaengs on 'TMI News'.

Kwon Hyun Bin then commented, "It seems like young people do it because they're curious, but..."

Its creepy the lengths these Sasaengs go to find an idol's phone number. And even scarier how easily and quickly they seem to obtain them. Lord knows what goes through these people's minds, what do they think they can get out of bombarding an idol with phone calls 24/7?
