In a shocking incident, CARATs noticed a sasaeng (an obsessive fan who has characteristics of a stalker) of SEVENTEEN’s Joshua in a promotional teaser released by the variety show Superman Returns, or The Return of Superman. Joshua appeared on the show with group mate Jun. The episode featuring them was released on April 28, 2023.The variety show’s team posted a picture of the duo walking hand-in-hand with the show’s kids before the release of the episode. While it seemed like any other ordinary picture, some hawk-eyed fans noticed a person squatting and hiding behind the poles with a camera. They discovered it to be a fansite with Twitter ID @shu1230svt. This particular fansite had posted a similar photo a month ago.super chuubangs@fIipricthis is so creepy wtffffff twitter.com/hongranghaey/s…Nad (◠‿◠ღ)@hongranghaeyShu-nim, say cheese you're on camera 🤳📸@shu1230svt @pledis_17 @pledis17_STAFF22884Shu-nim, say cheese you're on camera 🤳📸@shu1230svt @pledis_17 @pledis17_STAFF https://t.co/PE932FqbtEthis is so creepy wtffffff twitter.com/hongranghaey/s…CARATs, SEVENTEEN’s fandom, began spreading the word asking people to block the problematic fansite and raise a complaint to PLEDIS Entertainment.

Over a week ago, the variety show Superman Returns posted teaser pictures of a new episode starring SEVENTEEN’s Joshua and Jun. It was a part of the group’s comeback promotional activities for their 10th mini-album, FML.In one of the teaser pictures, fans noticed a person across the road from the idols with a professional camera. The person was deemed to be a sasaeng or a fansite master by SEVENTEEN’s fandom. One Twitter user, @hongranghaey, apparently discovered the identity of the woman hiding in the official photo as the Twitter fansite @shu1230svt.It was revealed that the Twitter account @shu1230svt had posted a similar photo last month. The photo uploaded by the fansite showed Joshua, Jun, and the kids walking from the front angle. They had blurred the children’s faces.Nad (◠‿◠ღ)@hongranghaeyShu-nim, say cheese you're on camera 🤳📸@shu1230svt @pledis_17 @pledis17_STAFF62002884Shu-nim, say cheese you're on camera 🤳📸@shu1230svt @pledis_17 @pledis17_STAFF https://t.co/PE932FqbtEWord quickly spread across the fandom to block @shu1230svt.
