Jung Hae in’s secret so as not to be recognized in public

Due to all the glamor exposed in the media, many people dream of one day becoming celebrities. However, the life of a public person, not always, is the fairy tale that many imagine being, and comes loaded with some great bales.

In addition to the difficulties imposed by their own work, such as spending dawn on recordings, extremely long trips and the lack of time to be with their friends and family, another big problem that famous people need to deal with is with public opinion that often, often, It can be much more mean than it should.

Still, certain artists also deal with extreme cases where obsessive fans and stalkers can even endanger their physical safety. The American singer Taylor Swiftfor example, has been the target of persecution a few times, including invasions at home and threats. In the year 2023, the American police arrested a man called MITCHELL TAEBEL by stalking, invasion of privacy, intimidation and harassment to the singer.

As reflected by Rolling Stone Brazil, Taebel believed that Swift it would be your “soul mate”, and would have threatened the dancers of Taylor If they performed a “sexual performance” in the song “Vigilante Silent”, and tried to contact the star on social networks and at home, and send an audio stating that “would use a bomb if it could not be with your soul mate.” .

Already in 1980, the music world was shaken by an even worse case: John Lennonformer member of the band The Beatles, was killed by a fan, Mark Chapmanwhich sought fame at any cost. Sentenced to life imprisonment, in his audience, the criminal said, “I killed him because he was very, very famous. It’s the only reason. I was being very selfish, seeking a lot of glory of my own.”

In K-Pop and the K-Dramas industry, unfortunately, the situation with obsessive fans is no different either. Known as “sasaengs”, the cases in the South Korean industry range from data leaks and improper connections to persecution, invasions and shipments of disturbing gifts-such as the case of Taeyang and G-Dragonfrom Bigbang, who received letters with declarations of love written with blood.

For this reason, in addition to seeking to maintain privacy, many artists seek to disguise as much as possible when they leave the street to avoid being recognized and causing riot where they pass. While some may adopt more creative tactics, including wig wearing, others opt for something simpler, wearing only hats, masks and casual clothes.

In 2019, the actor Jung Hae in He revealed in an interview with the South Korean vehicle Newsen that his tactic to go unnoticed by the public only needs one item: a hat. During the conversation, the star explained that when he goes out to eat and is wearing a hat, people often think he looks like Jung Hae inbut they don’t realize who he really is.

He said, “Maybe it’s because I don’t have striking facial features, but people don’t recognize me well in public if I wear a hat. I went to a restaurant with my parents recently and someone told me, ‘You look like Jung Hae in’. I said, ‘I hear that a lot.’ When I left to eat with the ‘Spring Night’ team, the staff looked at me and didn’t recognize me either. “
