Talented Humans Everywhere !!!

Alright, I admit there are some pretty ‘dedicated’ fans out there, and we even have a name for them ‘Sasaeng fans’ are those who need help and you can go look it up on the internet if you want to know more about them. I just wanted to tell you that not ALL fans fall under that sector and some of them are just normal people who are a fan and supporter of K-pop. Letters written in blood are down right scary as hell but there are also fans that send supportive notes and messages to the idols and the idols seem to really appreciate this. Many fandoms have also helped raised money for projects and charities and this is again all thank to the love they feel for their idols. Fan made things such as fanart and fanfiction may be a little awkward for the idol to personally read and see but the skills, talent, time and love spent on these little creations should not be overlooked.

Remember that time you wrote a letter to Santa telling him what you wanted in your stocking ? Well what you did there is exactly what K-pop fans are doing to their idols. Yes I know you didn’t write it in blood but I’ve already admitted that issue was indeed creepy so don’t bring that up again. What I’m trying to say is that all the fans want to do is be able to in some way reach out to someone they deeply admire and love. The idols appreciate these messages ! Super Junior member Yesung even tweeted a screenshot of the millions of farewell messages fans have sent to him from all over the world before he leaves for military services. Oh and all those ‘stalker shots’ are basically the fan’s curiosity of what their idols like to wear without the millions of stylists helping them. Fans just wanted to know what style of fashion and what interests K-pop stars have. Stop over reacting people !

It’s funny really, how just because those fanfictions consist of two male characters falling in love, they are immediately considered ‘bad’. Again, homophobic much ? Just image if you were reading the exact same story and it was about a heterosexual couple, I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t see anything ‘wrong’ or ‘creepy’ about it. Some of these authors write better stories than any novel I’ve read and have a better plot than any movie I’ve seen so why are people over looking this talent and labelling these fine works with such a negative title. Go and press on that link and give it a try, just replace the names with ‘Tom’ and ‘Mary’ and I’m sure you will enjoy it. After the written stuff, now we’re getting to the more visual artistic side. Firstly I’m going to make a confession; I can’t draw to save my life and stick figures are as far as I’m ever going to get. I’m sure a lot of you out there share this characteristic with me right ? Good. Cause now you won’t be in the position of saying anything negative towards those talent people who draw fanarts so well they should be hung in the museums.

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.
