Hypersensitivity in kpop fans

  • Why are many kpop fans so reactive when someone gives a negative review or says something slightly ambiguous about their favorites?
    In English, in Spanish, no matter the language, every time I see someone outside the community talking about kpop groups they are attacked like hell by fans.

    That, and maybe the fact that a lot of kpop fans are very young, so they may be easily impressible and more sensitive to negative comments and criticism against their faves.
