View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAfter Idol I released its first episode on Netflix and Viki on December 22, the viewers found many scenes to be influenced by real-world fame. In the autograph signing scene in the first episode, Ra-Ik is seen meeting his fans and signing autographs for them. When he asks one of his fans about her name, she gets mad about Ra-Ik not remembering her name, even after her supporting him for years.She also asks Ra-Ik about his phone number and complains about why he keeps changing it again and again. After Ra-Ik is left stunned, she throws a paper at him, after which she is taken out by the security. Her expression soon changes, and she says, "Sorry" and "I love you," expressing that she was wrong to do that.In another scene of Idol I, the same fans are seen trespassing in his house and are taken out by the security. When asked by his team member why he got angry at those fans for trespassing, and the company had to spend a lot to save his image, Ra-Ik says:"They weren't fans; they were stalkers. They snuck into my home. I'm the victim."Ra-Ik asked when he could live freely, and he was told that if he continued cursing his fans, that day might come sooner. This moment served as a satire, showing how celebrities can't openly express their feelings and how it affects them negatively.In Idol I episode 2, when Maeng Se Na interrogates the same fans, they reveal how they entered Ra-Ik's home by avoiding the security cameras, dealing with the motion sensors, and waiting for Ra-Ik to enter his password so they could note it, invading his privacy.When called stalkers, they tell Se Na and her friend that they trespassed in his home because they love him, justifying:"Isn't that what love is? Wanting to get closer, wanting to see him, wanting to take care of him more."Many viewers compared these scenes to real-life celebrity culture, where some fans blur the line between admiration and possession. Celebrities have, from time to time, opened up about their struggle with invasions of privacy. A similar incident took place recently during the Wicked: For Good premiere, where a fan came running towards Ariana Grande and held her. Earlier this year in June, a woman reportedly tried entering BTS Jungkook's home after his return from the military, as reported by The Korea Times. In another incident, S.Coups was pulled by a fan while he was interacting with fans during the Encore concert in Capital One Arena.Over the years, many celebrities have also spoken about their phone numbers and home addresses being leaked, forcing them to change contact details often for safety. Idol I showed this through Ra-Ik's experiences, especially when his fans trespass into his home and question why he keeps changing his phone number.However, the creators of Idol I have not commented on it as of now, which makes it just a fan speculation.Follow Soap Central for more updates!
