Scary encounters aren’t uncommon, even for our favorite K-pop idols. That said, many K-pop artists have shared their instances with the supernatural.
Here are 5 K-pop artists who shared their scary encounters!
1. Red Velvet Seulgi
On September 5, 2021, Seulgi uploaded her Halloween “Seulspecial” for “SEULGI.ZIP.” Seulgi shared that during her high school days. The “Cosmic” singer recounted sleeping soundly after an exhausting day.
However, Seulgi added:
“Someone was knocking on the door from the outside. There was a frantic knocking. Strangely, I felt that I had to open the door. Usually, one will be frightened and feel strange after hearing this sound, won’t it? But I was like, ‘Who is that knocking on the door? It’s so loud and disturbing.”
Seulgi then opened the door, and “something” laughed in her ears. But the idol was smart enough to know that it was a nightmarish dream all along, which caused her to finally wake up!
2. VIVIZ SinB
SinB: “When I was a trainee at a company there was a ghost in the practice room that looked like me. So when others were practicing they’d say that they saw me when I wasn’t there, a lot of people said that and even the dance teacher said the same..”pic.twitter.com/olXJiMPuRs

During her time with GFRIEND, SinB once revealed that she encountered a ghost in the practice room. What’s even creepy was that the idol described the ghost as someone who looked exactly like her. She revealed:
“When others were practicing, they’d say they saw me when I wasn’t there.”
3. BIGBANG Taeyang
Taeyang once shared his own ghost stories despite initially being a skeptic. The idol once elaborated on how he and the members experienced the supernatural around certain areas of the YG building.
“While taking showers, we heard someone knocking on the door. After we switched off the computer, we heard a strange noise coming from the speakers. I didn’t believe it when the other members told me about it. I said, ‘Stop making up stories’ or ‘It was the wind or you just imagined it.”
Taeyang continued:
“Then one day, it was summer, it rained a lot and was very dark outside, although it was morning. I got up before the other members, and I was getting ready. I was positive that the computer in the bedroom had been turned off, and suddenly, I heard a ticking sound from the speakers.
The sound of the speakers turning on was followed by radio static, like someone speaking in tongues. I got so scared that I went back to the bedroom’s bathroom and started washing. But I suddenly heard someone trying to open the door by turning the knob.
First, I thought it was one of the guys trying to scare me because I never believed when they told me about it and I said it was foolish. I was a little scared, so I shouted, ‘Stop doing that! Stop it!’ Then I got out of there and walked to the door when suddenly, someone kicked the door hard.
I froze and stood there for 10 seconds and when I opened the door, the guys were all asleep.”

During an episode of “BT PARK,” Taeyoung shared his scary encounter in an elevator.
“When I was in middle school before I began practicing, I was practicing late at night at the dance academy, and at about 1 AM, classical music always played in the elevator. They play box music, but for some reason, it sounded scary that day.
Then I thought I hit the fourth floor in the elevator since my house was on the fourth. I was looking in the mirror. The elevator wasn’t moving up but I didn’t know and I was just looking. I began to wonder, why didn’t (the elevator) arrive yet?
When I looked at the panel, Floor 25 lit up. 14, 15, it kept going up so I canceled the 25th and pressed the fourth. If you cancel the elevator button, doesn’t it stop on the next floor? It was supposed to head on the fourth after it had closed but the fourth floor button suddenly got turned off and it suddenly hit the 25th on its own.”
5. Apink Eunji
On “Knowing Bros,” Eunji shared a chilling story that occurred in the group’s dorm. According to the idol, she recalled the time when she heard the group’s door opening, which signals someone had either walked outside or inside.
Eunji assumed that someone had stepped out but the idol kept hearing fidgeting noises, leading her to check the rest of the room. When Eunji inspected the area, she saw bandmate Hayoung and asked her if she had just gone outside, only for Hayoung to mention, “I thought you went out.”
