Former Member Of Known Girl Group Pleads With Stalkers To Stop Invading Her Privacy, Shares Disturbing Details
Former After School member and singer Raina has expressed distress over severe invasions of her privacy.
Recently, Raina posted on her Instagram, saying, “I don’t want to talk about this, but I’m going to start blocking delusional and pseudo-relationship accounts now.”
She continued, “This is about people who’ve gone beyond simple support or fandom. I tried to see it as support, but when I leave it alone, they start making up delusions about me and talk about them as if they’re real.”
Raina also revealed specific instances of harassment. “There were numerous delusional messages, including one imagining that my name was listed as a spouse on their family register, Some people took it further… one brought me a letter with their phone number and flowers, saying they truly loved me as a woman and wanted to date. Another even came to my house, and I had to move urgently.”
She also explained why she no longer accepts gifts: “I’ve said I don’t need gifts other than letters because I can buy what I need myself, but the real reason is that some people use gifts to express their delusions, so I had to block that too. I feel sorry that I’ve had to reject even gifts from those who genuinely support me.”
Raina added, “Since I’ve been working alone without an agency and doing offline schedules, I think it’s gotten worse because I’ve become more accessible. About two years ago, I told some particularly extreme individuals that I would report them if they kept crossing the line — but it still keeps happening.”
She concluded, “Just because I’m in a public-facing profession doesn’t mean I have to tolerate delusions or inappropriate behavior. I try to ignore it, but when I see it, I just sigh… Please live in reality.”
Raina debuted in 2009 with “After School” and also promoted as part of the sub-unit “Orange Caramel.” She is currently active as a solo singer.
