The reason why I share fan call/fan sign contents and translate them is to let everyone see the latest update of JK, how he interacts with fans, and how smart, cute, funny, kind, handsome, and mature he is.
These days, for quite many times, whether it’s a fan call or fan sign, some people always find fault with the OPs. don’t like their questions, their requests, their jokes, their casual conversations or the fact that they attend these events more than once…
If it’s not about music? → “don’t u have other things to say?”
Wanting some “I love you” or aegyo fan services? → “weird”
Doing some role play skit stuffs? → “delulu”
Fan cultures vary by region, and even within the same country, everyone has their own way of stanning their idols. You don’t have to understand, but don’t assume what you think is the only right one.
It’s fine to have different opinions. But in comments or quotes, some people are rude and unreasonable, some straight-up curse, and some even get racist. Are you really that mad about a fan call? Or are you just using these posts to vent your negativity? You feel better after ranting, but have you thought about that some OPs can actually see these comments and quotes? How hurt would they be if you misunderstood them?
And let’s be real: they spend time and money, whether they’re lucky enough to get picked or they pay a lot to attend. Their fan call or fan sign is theirs, not yours. It’s never about asking the questions you want to ask or saying what you want to hear. If what they say is inappropriate, the staffs will do their jobs.
and what’s ironic is: those who complain and say fans should say more meaningful, praising things…The tweets of praising JK that I post get fewer engagement, while posts that are used to vent frustration get lots of engagement. Yet when I call for voting or encourage participation in NAVER, Daum, Instagram and other SNS to promote the members, these people are nowhere to be found.
Less prejudice, less projecting yourself onto the members, stop making assumption. more respect, more focus on spreading the good things about the idols you love, and less nitpicking. make the fandom a more peaceful place, please.
