Although this term may also be called simply a very strong passion for some performers, aggression and attempts to closely track the life of an idol is considered the distinctive features of Sasan. Susan is negatively perceived by artists K-pop, for example, the case when the singer Kim Cajun from JYJ hit Susan-fan, accusing her of invading privacy, and then sued her for illegal recording his conversations.
