This blog is about looking at both the positive and negative side of k-pop by linking k-pop to some common worldly issues. The aim of this
Well ok ~ I admit I knew nothing about this Super Junior
group and maybe I was a little hash on judging them without knowing they had so
much history together. Still, you can’t blame me ! The stuff and rumours that
fans produce these days are C.R.A.Z.Y. I don’t even know where to start about
these fan girls (not being sexist but yes they mostly are girls). Maybe I
should start about letters written in period blood (I am not even joking), the
stalker photos and videos, the car chases, the investigations and the enormous
amount of fan made things. I wish I was talking about a fan made card but I’m
not, more the photoshopping and fanfictions. Scary ? That’s an understatement. Really
if you thought Justin Bieber fans are crazy, wait till you see these ones;
honestly, if K-pop never existed these people might have never come to live
this kind of distorted life. Not putting the blame but someone’s gotta take
responsibility for being the cause right ?
I’ll start with the period blood letter cause I am sure that
caught your attention (in a not so good way) already. It’s legit guys, Taecyeon
from the boy band 2PM had received a letter written in ... the mentioned
substances and ‘sprinkled with pubes’. I don’t think I need to say anything
about how ... insane this is and don’t have hope that’s it’s a fake cause they
got the police involved and all that. Just be thankful I’m moving on now and
that nothing like happened to you. Despite however insane these fans are, some
are rather smart and in fact, they might be an international spy (that would be
fun to imagine). When Victoria
from the girl band f(x) posted a seemingly innocent photo on a Chinese social
network of her food, fans were quick to zoom in and point out that on the
reflection of the spoon was a member of the famous boy band, Changmin from
TVXQ. And you thought all that zooming in stuff you see on tv stays in tv,
apparently its quite common in the world of K-pop fandoms, then of cause they
go on about the two are dating and are secretly married and blablabla.
So the stuff mentioned previously were true stuff with real
people, now its time to move on to the fans that are more imaginative and umm
... artsy. The two main topics are fanart and fanfiction and both are equally
as creepy. Now back to that issue I went on about on homosexual relationships
between members and I was saying it wasn’t my fault. This is the time to prove
it. I mean, even you would think there’s something going on if you see millions
of photos and pictures of them kissing and doing inappropriate things together
! There are videos which zoom onto the smallest details and fictional stories
that just sound so realistic you sometimes wonder if the author turned herself
into a fly and observed the members before she write the ‘facts’ down. Really
these people need to go get some help. My theory is that the fans are thinking
‘He is so perfect that no women can match up to him but humans need love to
live so I better pair him up with another male so I feel less jealous.’ and
then all those little artworks and stories are created to make them believe
that what they think is the reality. Maybe they don’t understand that they are
the exact reason why some people are so against K-pop, because it is K-pop that
creates these monsters.
