Idol

My mind just got blown from reading a (KPOP alert) news about EXO's BaekHyun dating GIRLS GENERATION's Taeyeon. No, I'm not blown by the fact that they're dating but by the fact that both of the band's fans get angry!!

The so called "fans" even made a petition online demanding their precious "idol" - the one who they claimed to be so in love to - BaekHyun to quit from the band.

Sigh.

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE NOWADAYS??

Do you want to know the reason why the fans are so angry?

Let me put the exact words they type here:

"The reason Sones and EXO fans are so disappointed in you is not because you're dating. You two are in your twenties, not every fan would be against you dating. But the actions you showed us.. posts that we thought you uploaded for us to see, nicknames we gave you... To turn it all into secret codes for each other, masking them as messages to your fans. It makes me so sad and angry that you deceived us. Baekhyun, your promise to wait until 35.. You were the first one in EXO to break it. Taeyeon, all of those messages we thought you were sending us, the same messages we laughed and worried over... Do you not see how we feel? You two practically begged to have your relationship recognized and we recognized it and now we're hurt. Is this what you wanted? We heard your voices and were so happy for you..." - article "Fans demand that BaekHyun leaves EXO in online petition"  taken from kpopstarz.com and written by Tamar Herman.

And here's a comment of the article:

"They are upset because they used the nicknames the fans gave them as secret names. Taengoo is Taeyeon's nickname, Baekoong is Baekhyun's nickname. Taeyeon combined them into Taengkoong and revealed it for the first time in an IG post with a pic of fangifts, captioned 'taengkoongberimachi'. Fans, before the revelation, thought it was just Taeyeon's silly way of saying 'Thank you very much'."

And:

"It's hurtful to fans. The fact that they created nicknames that felt precious to the fans and believed was precious to their idol. The nickname was in effect used for showing their love to someone else. It's like having a best friend you love and calling them a nickname and having that best friend call the person who turns out to be their boy/girlfriend the same nickname. It's hurtful and shows that the person doesn't understand how much you care for him/her."

Have you figured out what's so wrong with the world? First of all, if you really like your "idol" then you should have supported him especially when he's dating. Second of all, you must realize that you chose to be the fans, you chose to make him your "idol" and you chose to spend lot of money to buy their stuff (music, merchandise etc) and you chose to fill your thoughts with unnecessary fantasy and delusions - such as regarding yourself as their bestfriend. Hmmmmmpphhh *holdingmylaugh

And the third one is: who on earth do you think you are for having a right to control your "idol"? You should have been proud they're using the nickname you've given to them to call someone they love! Like seriously, do you really think you're that special?? You're special because you're buying their stuff and appreciate their music, but you don't have a right to butt into their personal relationship. And hey, since you've given the nickname to them, anyone can actually use it!!!

I can't believe anyone could call themselves a fan and behaving like this. If you really love them then leave them alone! Wow. I know Koreans are infamous for the sasaeng fans but for losing 180.000 fans just for this case, I have to say, you Koreans are sick people (the sasaeng fans, not the normal ones (: )!!

And this is why you shouldn't "idolize" someone. They can't be your idol! It is so unhealthy. Your God should be your idol, not some kind of entertainer. It's ok to like a music so much that you listen to it a gazillion times but never make them your idol. I think it is such a scary term.

These people, these fans have lost their mind. They're obsessed, they're dangerous and they're annoyingly selfish. How could you even regard yourselves as bestfriend? Gossh I'm so disgusted by the trend that the world is trying to make.

I believe the entertainment industry in Korea also held responsible in creating that kind of fans. To the kpoppers (or just to anyone) out there, becareful. If you're being a fan, don't lose your logic. They're singers and or actors. They're not yours and they will never be yours. Take that to your heart.

Those who make an image, all of them are useless, and their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
They neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
