FANGHORLING: Realtalk from a KPop Fan Tita.
Backstreet Boys, Westlife, N’Sync, A1, O-Town, and F4. Ilan lang ‘yan sa mga talagang kinabaliwan kong boy bands mula nung grade school ako. After that, nagustuhan ko din naman ang One Direction, The Jonas Brothers, at ngayon nga BTS. I could be as loud as everyone here when it comes to showing my pure affection and genuine support to my idols, but I never bash any of my co-fangirls, kasi ang point of view ko dyan, pareho naman tayo ng trip, pareho tayo ng sinusuportahan so dapat tayo din, we support each other.
Nung generation ko, hindi uso ang “fan war”. ‘Di ako basta nakakabasa ng hate messages sa mga kapwa ko fangirls. Masaya lang, tahimik ang life. Low-key fangirling. Kung may fan war man, it’s between fans ng magkaibang boy band, hindi same band. Iba ang fan base namin noon kesa sa fan base ngayon. Gets ko naman.. bagets, new era talaga. Gen Z. I know most of you won’t agree with me, and might bash me pa, but here’s the TRUTH... Today’s generation of fangirls are aggressive, possessive, too loud, and loves bad-mouthing each other, which is too toxic na. Yup, it’s the truth and you should all accept that. It’s not fun to hear, see, and read too much hate messages to one another, especially when it comes to your idols. Tingin n’yo ba magugustuhan nila ‘yang mga ginagawa n’yo sa isa’t-isa? I don’t think so. Isipin n’yo rin ‘yung mararamdaman ng idols n’yo kapag nalaman nilang ganyan kayo sa isa’t-isa. They make music and entertain people for PEACE and LOVE, hindi trouble.
My point is, since I’m officially budging in to the fan base of BTS this year, I hope kung ipakita ko ‘yung full genuine support ko sakanila, I won’t get any hate messages. Well, I know hindi ko kayo mako-control, but I don’t care. I will just support BTS for as long as I can. I will just enjoy their existence, their music, their faces, and all. In short, I will detach myself sa ibang BTS fans na hindi ko personally kilala. I don’t want too much toxicity in my life. I don’t want to be involved sa kahit anong bashing. ‘Di ko na afford ma-stress, dahil lang sa bashers na kapareho ko lang namang fan ng BTS. I will never ask all of you to welcome me or appreciate me, I just don’t want to be part of any fan war. I just really want to enjoy everything about BTS. That’s all.
I have bffs na BTS ARMY and they fully support me. Enough na ‘yon for me. Lols. Here’s to new adventure for me. Looking forward to see BTS live, hopefully next year or kahit sa 2022. Hihi.
By the way, Namjoon is my bias. Pakahusay na, paka-hot pa. Lols. Lablab. ;)
