San, a member of the group ATEEZ, personally dismissed dating rumors that arose in Milan, Italy, and issued a stern warning to "sasaeng" fans who invade his privacy and engage in molka.
Recently, photos and a short video circulated on online communities and social media showing San walking and conversing with a woman on a street in downtown Milan. This sparked sudden dating rumors, causing confusion among fans.
In response, his agency, KQ Entertainment, immediately clarified that the rumors were baseless. The agency dismissed the speculation by explaining, "The woman in the photo is a representative from a local Milanese brand; the footage was captured while they were on their way to purchase items needed for an event," adding that local security personnel and managers were also present at the scene.
Following the agency's prompt response, San also personally addressed the matter on the 26th via a fan communication platform. He firmly drew a line, stating, "I’m bringing this up because I don’t want fans to worry," and added, "There are rumors about a romantic relationship, but they are completely untrue."
He also made it clear that he could not overlook the unauthorized stalking and molka that sparked the rumors. San expressed his discomfort, saying, "I’m in the middle of my schedule, so it’s very disconcerting to have people following me wherever I go. I wonder how they even know where I am. While running into fans by chance is a pleasant surprise, this is not right." He went on to directly criticize the behavior of overzealous fans who crossed the line, stating, "You shouldn't do things like that [secretly following outside of scheduled activities]. Molka is clearly wrong, too. Let’s not commit crimes before getting caught."
Finally, San reassured fans with his characteristic dependable and firm demeanor, saying, "Don't worry about a thing. I'll wrap up the schedule successfully and return."
San, who has recently garnered immense popularity and the nickname "Grand Duke of the North" thanks to his unrivaled physique and aura amidst the craze for ATEEZ's "BAD" challenge, demonstrated his confident convictions by coolly brushing off baseless rumors while taking a firm stand against molkas and stalking.

So, taking a photo of a celebrity spotted on a public street, like in India, counts as a molka shot? If they can't handle even that, maybe they shouldn't be celebrities... To really qualify as a molka or sasaeng incident, wouldn't it have to involve things like chasing them in a taxi, or breaking into their home or hotel room to take pictures?

If you don't want your photo taken in public, you shouldn't be a celebrity. It’s not like they were blocking the road or anything...
