K-Pop Fanboy/Fangirl |OT5| Controversies Over Nothing

LOL that's Junsu from TVXQ/JYJ out at a restaurant with his friend.

Those are all teenage girl sasaeng fans.

TVXQ/JYJ have had some of the worst issues with sasaeng fans. I don't think EXO really compares just yet.

SJ still has it really bad as well. The thing about Exo is they're rookies and they already have it this bad, its only to get much much worse for them.

Yeah that's why I said yet, I'm sure they have a bunch of fun in store for them. But let's be honest, if they wanted normal lives they wouldn't have become idols.

Personally I think EXO are terrible and avoid everything to do with them, so it doesn't really bother me :p

I hear ya, and I'll be frank here I'm more interested in the social phenomena behind kpop (specifically it's international relations with its Asian neighbors; and its why I love Netizen Buzz) much more than I'm interested in the music itself.

I wonder what the reaction would be like if you faked an article on one of the aggregate sites saying that Japanese fangirls are much politer than the rude Korean counterparts.

Do you even need to fake it? Before I fell in love with K-pop I was a giant Japanophile, I have never seen KAT-TUN, NEWS, Arashi, SMAP, Yamapi, etc, etc. ever get those types of fans, or maybe I just missed it but I haven't seen shit go down there like it does in Korea. Hell I remember reading an article when Yamapi went to Korea, he was mobbed by a thousand fans or some crap like that.

Bwahaha, just found this related article:

http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/05/eunji-stands-up-to-her-little-brothers-bullies

She was a guest on the May 17 episode of 'Thank You'. On the program, MC Cha In Pyo asked her, "What would you do if your little brother was being bullied at school?". Eunji didn't hesitate for a single moment and replied firmly, "I'd go find the bully. One time, my little brother said that there was a bully bothering him and he was really big. I went to find him, glared at him and told him, 'If you bother my little brother again, I'm going to kill you'. The kid started to cry."

Makes me love Eunji even more!

Oh yeah, the social phenomena behind it are great. I study Asian Studies at university and have had to write papers on netizens and stuff like that before, it's really interesting. I guess I'm just a bit apathetic toward EXO :p

Japanese fans are their own kind of crazy as well.

akb48 has fangirls?

welp.
Speaking of fans in general of course. It's been a long time since I was into Japanese music so I'm speaking from memory and it'll be hard to pull recent examples but I distinctly remember KAT-TUN fans loathing Arashi and by extension Arashi fans. At joint Johnnys concerts they would paint huge banners telling Arashi members to go die, that they were pigs etc. And there would be violence between the two fan groups.

Also Morning Musume and whenever there was a scandal involving a member fanboys/girls would cut up their photo books, smash their CDs and burn their merchandise, posting photos of the destruction online.

Yep...
Japanese AKB48 fans

AKB fans just buy cds/photobooks in the hundreds or thousands. They don't really stalk/mob the girls or anything. Also their theater security is hardcore. You can get banned for life for the smallest shit you say or do.

Even one of the member's father's got banned for life because he got a lil' too rowdy.

One of them took his cum, in a plastic bag to a fan signing, and just before shaking the girls hand, stuck his hand in the bag. Yep.

No, they're just as crazy. Its just that they're more sociopathic crazy though.

So is it just media bias in reporting the saesang fans for boy groups and girl groups have it just as bad? Because aside from one off events, you never really hear anything happening to girl groups. I remember Taeyeon at that amusement park a few years ago, but that's it.

Nah, only a few (very few) bad apples. I'm not trying to say they're not crazy but their craziness rarely get to the girls. I'd rather have a fan who buys tons of cds and photobooks and cums on them (that happens very often, lol) than have fans following me all the fucking time and invading my house.
 
Stuff like this makes me really happy. I'm guessing some of those friendships formed on Invincible Youth 1 & 2 are pretty real.

Lol I was wondering why Yewon and Bora of all people would be at Fany's party. I totally forgot that IY2 existed hahaha.


Man you can tell that she was really excited to see him there. That bitch slap to the managers hand and that squeezing of his cheeks...

Finally, that look she gives around :38 seconds. Beautiful, just absolutely beautiful.

Go home isuzu, you're drunk.

Fans of Crayon Pop can now 'jump' some more as the group has announced a new mini-album for this September!

Crayon Pop's agency Chrome Entertainment stated, "With the release date planned for mid-September, we are currently working on a new song. Though the members have been busy with their schedule recently, they're creating choreography in their spare time and preparing for their follow-up promotions."

According to the label, Crayon Pop are currently deciding over two possible songs for their next title track, both of which are addictive dance tracks like "Bing Bing", "Dancing Queen", and "Bar Bar Bar", so get ready to put on your helmets for another feel-good tune from Crayon Pop!

She used to be pretty high on my list. Doesn't look all that great these days though. Looking more and more like an OLD HAG.

Which guy is it this time?
You were never interested before but now you go to church

You were an atheist but you have started this again


Personal experience?

Check out the non-Soshi guests attending the party... besides Shinyoung of course lol.

Here's a hint, according to Reddit:

Top Photo: L-R : Yoona, Taeyeon, Yewon, Seohyun, Bday Girl, Sooyoung, Bora, Sunny, Yuri

Bottom Photo: L-R : Sooyoung, Taeyeon, Yoona, Yewon, Lee Yeonhee, Seohyun, Bday Girl, Shinyoung, Bora, Yuri, Sunny, Hyoyeon

So good. Also, that explains where this instagram of Yuri's came from.
