File stalking charges and get restraining orders against each individual who they catch doing this. Lobby for hefty fines and jail time if they are prosecuted. No acceptance of the wringing of hands, whining, crocodile tears and 'apologies', none of that means shit and they will keep doing it.

Good for them, it must be horrible to be always having to watch their backs because 'fans' have no boundaries and won't leave them alone. It seems to be a fundamental problem in the Kpop scene, probably because of the way fans have been brought up to view idols as their property, the agencies really need to start steering away from that, it's not healthy for either the fans or the artists.

.

Stars wander around London freely without a problem and always have done, fans don't bother them (well maybe the occasional autograph hunter). There may be the occasional stalker but they are dealt with, and it's unusual.
