Dangerously obsessed fans have been around since long before the Internet entered people's lives - tech has just made it much easier to stalk people now.
Absolutely, its so much worse now. South Korea has a massive problem with it's "idol" culture too, it's batshit insane. Wouldn't suprise me if most of her viewers thought they were going to be her boyfriend.
And now, most of them seem to be in positions of power, where they can genocide, traffick, and rape all they want.
