Hey, everyone. What I’ll be addressing today is fansite photos and how we should interact with them.
You may be surprised to realize it, but in nearly every fandom, fansites are taking illegal photos of idols.
So... what’s this got to do with me?
First and foremost I’m an international fan too, and I get it--it’s hard to find photos of the members since we’re so far away. We feel like we miss out. But what’s more important, our wants or an idol’s needs and legal rights?
...
Yeah, I thought so. Glad you agree.
Okay, with that out of the way, here we go!
What are fansites doing?
We all know that a lot of fansites double as sasaeng (translation: private life) “fans,” i.e. people who try to learn about an idol’s private life in extreme and dangerous ways and often cause hard to one or more members, often in order to be noticed. But even non-sasaeng fansites are causing problems. An extremely big problem right now has to do with airport photos.
Airport photos??
Yeah, I mean those rare photos of your bias wearing normal clothes and doing normal things that we all crave. A lot of people really enjoy these photos. And that’s cool. But, fansites are not following the law and rules that airports set up, and that’s, obviously, not cool. And we should not be sharing, liking, or interacting with these photos. But not all airport photos are bad. The ones that are breaking the law are actually ones taken while the member(s) is in restricted areas of airports.
Which places are restricted, then?
This thread has a good explanation. Focused on Seventeen’s fandom but it is applicable for all.
Also, ALL fansite photos from Japanese airports are illegal! If you see any, do not interact! Are you in doubt which country a photo was taken in? Either search up their activities on a certain day to see which country a group is in, or don’t interact!
If you care about your favorite group, then it’s up to you to stand up and make a change. Stop reposting these illegal photos. Stop liking or commenting on them. Keep showing your support on the legal ones, so fansites understand that other fans are only boycotting those photos and not all. If we band together we can make a difference. Please share this post among all fandoms!
1. Langauge (Not understand what they are saying it’s like watching a Kdrama with no subtitles)
2. No money (We don’t have enough money to buy albums, merchandise, lightstick, poster, concerts, and etc.)
3. Not able to see them (We may never be able to see our favorite group/ bias because of where we live in the world)
4. Different time (We may miss our favorite kpop group live because of the different time and we may be sleeping while they are live)
5. World tour (When we hear world tour we think about Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and America, but when Kpop group has a world tour is mostly like to be in Asia)
6. Waiting for subtitles (Realizing you don’t understand what they are saying because of there is no subtitles and you have to wait for them to update the subtitle version)
Does anyone ever just... see a fansite photo and just... get creeped out? At the extent some fansites will go to, to get that picture? At the moments they will disrupt? At the pictures that are so obviously unposed--that the idol isn’t even thinking about being photographed right then, but still are?
I don't think Seungri can get away with this easily. Sexual assault, drug and rape allegations are being made towards the staffs of the club.
And then, there's group chat messages between the staffs ( which is so fucked up) being exposed by Dispatch. Making it worst, your name were in one of the group chat, so you'll should know about the case then.
Seungri, I am really disappointed with you. It really was'nt a good idea for you to start this clubbing business in the first place.
For anyone who wants to know bout the group chat being exposed, you can read it here:
Also, eventho the investigation is still being conducted right now, I think this kind of club should be shut down forever. There is no coming back from this. I hope you really reflect on this Seungri.
Chinese fans have the best gossip and they are almost prophetic in their skills of anticipating debuts, disbandment, dating rumors, and scandals. If you want in on the latest news, join a group chat.
Buuuuuuuut don’t you just hate it when a fandom of a big group thinks their group is better than any group because their either on a big company or because they achieve alot that plenty of other groups can achieve also
Or when they put other fandoms down saying how the fandom starts every drama that goes on between their fandom and theirs? When in reality that fandom is the one that starts everything and then acts like they didn’t just so they can put down the other fandom
Or better yet how they put their group on such a high pedestal but if one of the members gains weight or gets the wrong type of hair color or cut they no longer Stan them and will just fly to a different member in the group while calling the member that they used to Stan fat or ugly
But then wait for when they lose the weight and gain their hair back and get a better hair color, honey they gone be running back to that member like they never left them hanging dry
Or the moment when a fandom of a different group goes through alot to get their favorite group an amazing and important as fudge award but the fandom that I’m talking about just automatically puts it down because they couldn’t except the fact that it wasn’t their group and even going as far as saying that the fandom that worked their butts off were just being pathetic and desperate
And even saying that that fandom begs people to work with the group that their fans of but this group is non-stop getting interview after interview and better yet people wanting to collaborate with them on their own and not because their company most likely put it together
But they even put their music down that goes high on billboards that they worked hard for? When the fandom that I’m talking about stans a group that doesn’t even write their music and I’m not talking about the 2 or 3 songs that they’ve had to honor to do
But you know what I know that there’s good people in this fandom that I’m speaking of just like I also know that there’s good fans in my bias groups fandom
So I just want to say a big F**k you to the people of this fandom that goes at my bias group for no reason at all but the fact that they have no life(and this is only for the ignorant ones of the fandom)
And any fandom that thinks they know what fandom I’m talking about and decided to come for me it just means that you know all the stuff I said is true, and you WILL! be blocked real quick and I won’t be saying what fandom I’m talking about so don’t act like you know stuff
