Fansites: Very different reaction from K side & I side. K side is defending, supporting & encouraging FS, while I side mostly attack. Koreans r not dumb. They don’t support sasaengs. They don’t equate all FS as sasaengs. Fansite is part of Kpop culture. Who started it? Agencies.-
It was a symbiotic relationship that benefited agencies and FS. Some do turn into anti/sasaeng. To generalize all would be unfair. Just like ppl saying US citizens r morons 4 voting for Trump. Who do you think let these FS in? There are SO many huge cameras. If all agencies were-
Absolutely HATED FS, then the culture would have died. Arrest them all. But they won’t. Also, fans r hypocrites. They hate them but will be the first to go look at pics & videos. Fan cams also bring in a lot of GP. Look at the numbers on YT. Some promote better than agencies. -
If fans still hate FS. Block, don’t press like, rt, or buy. Don’t watch any of fancams on YT. If u see a FS problem notify ur agency. Mass email/tag them. Then wait to see if they put them on blocklist or take action. If agencies don’t, u have your answer. My guess is they won’t.
Also, many fans will never see their idols. Groups do not go to every single country & some don’t have funds. For them, FS is the only way to see their idols. FS play a part in bringing GP & keeping existing fans loyal w content. FS r 2nd largest promotion team after the agency.
This is a trans of a article that came out recently about fansites. It’s very informative. Read if you haven’t already. https://twitter.com/neoliveson/status/1121834194685054977?s=21">https://twitter.com/neoliveso...
Think w logic. BH is so quick to sue anyone 4 IP infringement. Book, mag w boys pics on it. Yet they haven’t sued any of FS. Why? They r so easy to find on twt. FS r selling merch! That is IP infringement. My opinion is to put FSs on a payroll & control their action w conditions.
FS vs Sasaeng: Sasaengs pry into idols personal life. Follow them everywhere not just airport or concerts. It’s their home, agency, restaurants, anywhere & everywhere. They stalk them not 4 pics or fancams but for info & try to get dirt on idols. FS at same airplane, same hotel-
IF they don’t intrude the idols I think are okay. If they go into idols rooms, grab personal belonging, stalking family members, getting their phone #, getting as much info on idol is sasaeng behavior. Their focus is more on the idol not pics & videos. Don’t think all FS do this.
If FS was all 4 personal gain, I don’t think K fans would support FS. They donate on behalf of idols, often PROMO their fav on LED billboards, wrapped bus 4 their b days, special events. GP sees it. Have u seen agency do it?Come on, you put FS fan cams/pic to attract locals.

People are showing Staple center twt “boys don’t want it”, “Cameras are illegal, they broke the law”. Well guess what? Any concert goer who took pics, videos of boys w/o their direct consent(did anyone ask them personally?), YOU ALL BROKE the LAW!!! https://twitter.com/neoliveson/status/1125871333613633539?s=21">https://twitter.com/neoliveso...
