The seller even added, “If you buy a lot we’ll give you a discount or additional numbers. If you purchase all the SNSD members’ numbers we will give you 2PM’s Taecyeon and Chansung’s numbers for free.”

Asked about how the seller was able to find the numbers, the seller shared, “We have people associated with broadcasting companies who sell them to us and there are also sasaeng fans who disclose the numbers on online cafes.”

The broadcast of the report was followed by comments from netizens who wrote, “This is truly shocking! They should be arrested”, “People who purchase these numbers are not true fans” and “These idol stars must feel so violated.”
