Do you like your idol bias with romantic feelings?

Pann: Am I the only one who likes my bias with romantic feelings?

1. [+115, -28] Honestly, doesn't everybody like idols with romantic feelings? Who actually likes idols like a mom unless they're old?

2. [+109, -2] I've never really wanted to date my bias but I would feel sad if dating news break out. I don't know why...

3. [+105, -42] It's the same for everybody but they just pretend like they don't.

4. [+41, -0] I seriously want to marry my bias.

5. [+27, -0] For me, it's like... virtual parenting? I'm like "my baby is so cute ㅠㅠ"

6. [+25, -1] First of all, the concept of idols itself creates emotions of virtual dating. Their concept is like boyfriend-dol and girlfriend-dol. I don't think idols can ask their fans to only support their music and dance.

7. [+21, -0] You can't help but like them with romantic feelings because you fell for their face. If you fell for their singing or dancing, it's not.

8. [+20, -1] What's with the comments? It's not the case for me... Don't generalize.

9. [+17, -2] It's the same for everybody ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Those who act like they don't care about dating news are actually dying on the inside.

10. [+15, -0] It's the case for me. I really like my bias as a person so I also have romantic feelings for them.

Staff at Wanna One's fansign criticized for her rude actions

She takes the fan's phone and looks through it

She takes the fan's gift out of Jihun's hands and gives it back to the fan

Pann: Going too far at Wanna One's Shinhan Bank fansign

1. [+191, -2] I'm not a fan but I was so pissed off so I watched the whole video and she smiled at Jihun like this after the fan left. She's working there as a fan ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+154, -2] Is she crazy? Why is she looking at someone's phone?

3. [+137, -4] She likes Jihun for sure

4. [+83, -0] I also saw this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Her facial expression is so mean. She also clicked a lot on the fan's phone. I wonder what she was looking at.

5. [+72, -0] I'm a non-fan but is there a way to stop someone like her? Please look into taking legal actions to someone who looks at one's phone without permission.

6. [+62, -0] Why the hell is she looking at the fan's phone at a fansign?

7. [+60, -0] Why is the bitch pissed off? Can't they fire the bitchf?

8. [+47, -0] I really don't understand. Why is she looking at the fan's phone?

Bigbang fans complain to Kang Sunghoon's cover of 'Flower Road'

Article: Sechs Kies Kang Sunghoon covers Bigbang's fansong 'Flower Road'... Bigbang fans complain

Source: Star Today via Nate

1. [+378, -133] I don't think this is a big wrongdoing...

2. [+337, -67] You shouldn't mess with fansongs out of respect. Imagine an artist covering Sechs Kies' fansong. I'm sure the fans will make a bigger fuss ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+257, -51] I can understand covering other artists' songs, but I don't think covering a fansong is right.

4. [+37, -20] The fact that he sang another artist's fansong at his own concert is wrong enough, but he also changed the lyrics and added a choreo. OK, I can tolerate them all, but some Kang Sunghoon fans are acting aggressive and demanding us to be thankful for covering their fansong. By the way, Flower Road hit the roof and was #1 for weeks without any promotion.

5. [+33, -11] I remember him going to courts for committing fraud. He cleaned up his image with Infinity Challenge.

6. [+33, -10] The problem is that Bigbang has never even performed the song... And Kang Sunghoon added a choreography on top of that ㅋㅋ

Pann: Reasons why Bigbang fans are upset with Kang Sunghoon

1. [+261, -28] When us VIPs complained, we were treated like an ungrateful hoobae fandom.

2. [+235, -34] I'm not a fan but Sechs Kies and their fandom also have a lot of controversies but they got buried. The way they treated Lee Young Ja was so rude.

3. [+223, -28] I'm a Sechs Kies fan but I don't understand Kang Sunghoon and his fans... I apologize on behalf of them, sorry VIPs ㅠㅠ

4. [+149, -10] I'm not interested in any idol but I really pity Bigbang fans. For example, my boyfriend proposes me with his self-produced song. And then my boyfriend's sunbae edits the song and proposes his girlfriend. The girlfriend posts the song on Instagram and I have to see that. This is supposed to be my song since he dedicated the song to me but I can't even complain since it's a sunbae who stole the song from my boyfriend. If I complain, I'm gonna be called rude and ungrateful by the sunbae's girlfriend.

5. [+141, -6] Sechs Kies fans say VIPs should be thankful for promoting the song but the song got excellent results, we don't need any promotion ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+119, -2] It's not like Bigbang fans are mad because Bigbang never performed the song before. First of all, Bigbang produced the song for the fans 2 years ago to release it before enlisting. When the first articles were out, they clearly called it a 'fansong'. But Kang Sunghoon re-recorded the song and even changed the 'Bigbang' signature sound to 'Hoony'. Even non-fans recognized the 'Bigbang' sound, imagine how it's like for the fans. But Kang Sunghoon changed that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He also added a choreography. It's understandable why the fans are upset.

EXO-L claims she was punched by security team 'Hwarangdan' at EXO concert

EXO fan's account

At the EXO concert on July 13, 2018, I asked one of the Hwarangdan guys where I was supposed to enter. Perhaps because of the hot weather, he murmured "ssibal" and started walking me towards the entrance. I then realized I left my lightstick in the locker so I said sorry and told him I was gonna go back. He asked me if I was crazy, grabbed my wrist, and then punched me in the heart hard. I got a heart surgery 4 months ago so I'm supposed to be careful about it. I was fine because I had my friend accompanying me but this happened when my friend was absent for a bit. He punched my left heart which is the surgery part and sinc then, I've been having very bad pains. My doctor had told me to never get hit in the surgery part and that I won't have to undergo a second surgery if I'm being careful. But now I lost the hopes. I'm not going to report this incident, please just apologize at least. And there are a lot of other fans who were hit by them, not just me. SM, please fire Hwarangdan or do proper security.

Pann: I accuse violence from the security team Hwarangdan at EXO concert

1. [+128, -3] The EXO fan didn't even do anything wrong... I'm so upset.

2. [+113, -2] I'm not a fan but all other fans should be publicizing this, not just EXO-Ls. They need to be criticized hard to realize this... And if SM doesn't say anything about it, they're total idiots and hopeless. This is inhuman. Did they become security guards to beat others up instead of doing their job? I'm so pissed.

3. [+106, -1] Joonmyun once said, "Shouldn't the security guards be protecting the fans as well?" They need to be well-mannered. We tried to be good at the concert but they ruined it. The job of the security is to hit fans who are hurt and swear at them?

4. [+29, -0] They're a security team, what do they think their job is? The OP didn't even do anything illegal, why did he hit her? And in the heart? I can't understand. Hitting for no reason should never be done. The security teams need to stop looking down on idol fans. This happened so many times.

5. [+25, -1] Why are they getting mad when fans ask for directions? Isn't that what they're supposed to do?

How EXO, BTS, and Wanna One fans support their groups

Pann: EXO/BTS/Wanna One fans' ways to love

EXO fans vote
BTS fans buy albums
Wanna One fans comment on Naver articles
-

1. [+81, -32] You can't help but buy BTS' albums ㅋㅋㅋ Every song is legendary and to think how the members produced all of them.

2. [+39, -0] If there's a fandom that does all of that, no one would be able to beat the fandom...

3. [+29, -1] They're quite unique in their own ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+22, -27] For singers, BTS fans are the most beneficial way.

5. [+20, -4] Yes. For ARMYs, they're not really interested in voting compared to the size of the fandom. They also hate Naver because of many reasons. They just listen to BTS in their rooms.

6. [+17, -0] Comments on Naver articles are extremely effective to the brand value. Wanna One gained a lot of fans from their Naver Cast fancams. That's why the fans are interested in Naver.

7. [+14, -0] I'm an ARMY but a lot of times, I get frustrated at how we're not doing any voting, even on the official fancafe. For Naver, we only like articles instead of commenting. So our articles are the most liked articles but the number of comments is really small. I like how we buy a lot of physical albums, though. We're still selling the debut album well.

8. [+14, -1] So funny how true this is ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Seventeen fans' lightstick customization

Pann: Fandom that's having a competition of lightstick customization

1. [+136, -0] Since their idols are self-producing, the fandom is self-producing as well ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so pretty, I want to have one.

2. [+95, -0] What ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're using it well. It's a pretty lightstick.

3. [+86, -0] I'm not a fan but it's so cute... The fans are very detailed.

4. [+37, -0] When the lightstick came out 2 years ago, I was so fascinated. I was examining the lightstick and I tried to open the cap doubtfully, and it actually opened. I was so shocked... I was shocked again when I learned I could change the jewels inside ㅋㅋ Was this Pledis' plan all along...

5. [+23, -0] Hul, the one with flowers is really pretty. I'm not a fan but I really want to buy one. I think it'd be pretty enough to leave it in my room.

6. [+19, -1] So pretty ㅠㅠ I envy you... What the hell is with my lightstick ㅠㅠ

7. [+19, -0] Carat Bong is so pretty. It looks great in real life.

8. [+15, -0] I'm a Carat living in countryside and I thought of going to Seoul to buy this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so pretty... It's like spending cash on a game ㅋㅋ

Sechskies fans release a statement & ask YG to remove Ko Jiyong from profile (+ updated)

'Sechskies' former member Ko Jiyong's company is using 'Sechskies' brand without permission. For the following reasons, we ask YG to remove Ko Jiyong from 'Sechskies' profile.

1) His insulting actions of using Sechskies fans for his company events
A close associate of Ko Jiyong asked the biggest fandom community to participate in his company events by attending the events, promoting on SNS, and financially supporting them. 1000 fans attended one of the events and gave $1000, but the fans were told to act like normal participants at the event. The associate insulted the fans numerous times, and Ko Jiyong didn't bother to stop him when he was right beside the associate. Ko Jiyong asked for a group photo, and the fans were explained as normal participants for promoting the company event.

2) Using 'Sechskies' brand and fandom for getting investors
After the episode of 'Infinity Challenge', there was a poll that asked how long the effect of 'Sechskies' would last, which was revealed to be posted by Ko Jiyong's company. After that, his company released advertisements looking for investors and they said, "director Ko Jiyong's Sechskies power is predicted to last long, and his continuous communication with the members will affect the business positively." Ko Jiyong was also introduced to be "from Sechskies that holds a strength of a strong fandom", which shows that he is willing to use the fandom for his business. In the Infinity Challenge episode, his drink was included as PPL and he promoted it as "co-production of Infinity Challenge Sechskies content". Even today, on his company profile, he's listed as "former member of Sechskies".

3) Viral marketing by using 'Sechskies' trademark
Ko Jiyong's company has been using 'Sechskies' hashtag to promote their products including baby products, child books, food, glasses, bracelets, clothes, and etc. On Ko Jiyong's personal Instagram, he has promotional posts and the products are exposed with 'Sechskies' hashtag by his associates, representatives, official accounts, and unknown accounts.

4) Viral marketing by the international fandom
Due to Ko Jiyong's actions, the fandom went through a lot of pain. Since June 2017, many fans asked the portal sites to change his profile, but Ko Jiyong responded by deleting the promotional posts.
Since then, his duplicate account has been promoting the parenting show he was on and his company's products to the Chinese fandom. The posts were spread on the Chinese social media with 'Sechskies' hashtag. In December 2017, Ko Jiyong's visit to China to expand his glasses business was done by a fanmeet-like event. Sechskies fans visited his store, got his autograph, and participated in his live online shopping to buy his products. Ko Jiyong's company plans for 2019 include 'expansion of digital/physical sales' and 'expansion into the Asian market with cosmetics' and we're worried that this viral marketing will be taken place in the Southeast fandom as well.

There isn't any other group that includes a former member on their profile, and no one uses their former group for their personal business. We ask YG to edit the profile to protect the trademark rights of 'Sechskies'

Instiz: [Exclusive] Sechskies fans release a statement regarding to Ko Jiyong... Ask YG to remove him from the profile

- He left Sechskies because he didn't want his business to be interfered but he's on Superman and earning money off of Sechskies' name....

- Why is he doing that when he's not even promoting in the group?

- If fans turn their backs, there's a reason for it...

- I found it questionable that he was on Superman and not promoting in Sechskies...

- So it's happening... I feel bitter

1. [+320, -5] Hul, he's using the fans for his company's profits...

2. [+301, -3] Wow... I'm speechless... Using fans is the worst thing.

3. [+251, -3] It would've been good if he went on his way without using the fans... What a pity.

4. [+57, -1] I knew it was weird when he flatly said on Infinity Challenge that he was a businessman but appeared on Superman right away. I hope YG makes a wise decision.

5. [+48, -1] Ko Jiyong is the sliest one. Using Sechskies and his son, he's on TV. If he felt pressured to be on TV, he would've refused everything and live as a businessman. He wants to earn money but doesn't want to be Sechskies anymore.

YG: "Their reunion has been 2 years already and the possibility of Ko Jiyong re-joining the group is low, so we will officially request all portal sites to edit the group's profile."

1. [+198, -2] You should've known the limits, Jiyong-ah.

2. [+163, -10] Yeah, stop appearing on Superman and I don't want to see the re-runs, either. His son is cute but Ko Jiyong's mindset is wrong.

3. [+119, -3] YG's quick feedback is nice.
