KPop fans getting more aggressive towards the Senior Singer - why 4th Gen acts don't have such kind of aggressive fandom?

  • Before I begin, let me start with a fable


    Long , long time ago there was a family of landowners who were extremely cruel to the tenants


    One day, the tenants got angry, and slaughtered the landowners


    One of them escaped, and no one knew where he ended up.

    ==

    A generation had passed and there was a teenager who claimed to be an adopted daughter of the last survivor of the landowner's clan


    She produced the papers


    The courts, to the surprise and dismay of the townspeople, declared she was the only heir to the entire lands of the town


    She promptly enslaved the entire townspeople and restored the old order as if nothing happened.


    The townspeople hated her but she was extremely merciless and made friends outside of the town who admired her and ignored the townpeople's plight


    The End.

    The crowd which assembled at the Airport were numerous. Apparently the airport did not have security details preventing those who should not be there from entering it.


    They were all there to film the 1,343 years old singer who was returning from Italy.


    The millenarian singer , with her thousand-years-old body, did her best to control the crowd.


    They became very aggressive trying to film the very old singer, and one of them fell down and she helped to get that person back up. The person who fell would think that she won a lottery on that date which means more people will try this stunt the next time in hopes of getting the audience from the former owner of Edam Entertainment.


    I now have to ask this question.


    If a 1,343 years old singer has a fanbase this numerous and this aggressive, how come the 4th Generation singers don't have these many fans who are extremely aggressive? Having aggressive fanbases is not a new thing, but despite of selling more albums, the 4th Generation acts o not appear to have fanbases this numerous and this aggressive.

  • singers don't have these many fans who are extremely aggressive? Having aggressive fanbases is not a new thing, but despite of selling more albums, the 4th Generation acts o not appear to have fanbases this numerous and this aggressive.

    maybe because people are less tolerant of behavior like this? also why are you complaining? it's a good thing 4th gen don't deal with this.

  • Meh, it was one overexcited fan, it has happened before and will happen again, considering the usual amount of people/reporters usually following her at the airport its a wonder nothing more serious have ever happened really. It seems this time she didnt expect much people because she was coming back from a private vacation.


    She even warned fans she would stop buying candy/gifts for them last time it happened if they didnt calm down:

  • Those fans shouldn't have even been there, IU was returning from a private schedule (she stayed a few days in Italy with family after Milan fashion week). That's why she didn't have her usual security detail with her at the airport.


    Also, there are many aggressive airport fans of 3rd and 4th gen groups (just off the top of my head, NCT/Enhypen have had terrible experiences, so has Red Velvet and aespa).

  • 1,343 old singer has had enough time to build the fanbase which means the fans become crazier the longer they get attached to the idols. 1000 years is a long time fans would even delude themselves that they are close with her.

  • I now have to ask this question.

    Apparently you haven't seen two ladies fight over my Prince of Something Or Other.

    "And they escorted her to a prison cell..."

  • Why the non-sequitur, the fable part has nothing to do with the second portion about aggressive fans?


    But anyhoo.. are you making having "aggressive" fans as yet another metric to brag about?


    Then K-pop is never going to match with Indian fans - they do self-immolation, cut off fingers etc. for the movie and cricket stars.. or rather their aggression harms themselves than their "idols".


    But if the 4th gen does not have such aggressive fans, then good. Hopefully it will stay that way.


    IU though underestimates her fandoms both in Korea or overseas, even Mr. Park - big bear he is and team, can't handle all crazies.

  • what are you talking about mate

    whyknock obviously has knowledge that the "adopted daughter of the last survivor of the landowner's clan" is said senior singer...

    I meant the two sections of post don't seem to connect.


    Of course WhyKnock is the crazy old man in every mythical tale, who knows every secret of the community and lingers on forever waiting for the chosen one to come and perform the heroics.

  • maybe because people are less tolerant of behavior like this? also why are you complaining? it's a good thing 4th gen don't deal with this.

    I would imagine that with the 4th Gen acts selling 2 million copies, there would be a crowd of fans behaving very unruly but that is not as common as imagined

    What happened is there was a significant increase of the number of Uaenas in Korea over the last 3 years so a lot of people forgot this rule, and they were among the more aggressive of the lot because they became impatient enough to force the 1,343 years old singers to see them.

  • 1,343 old singer has had enough time to build the fanbase which means the fans become crazier the longer they get attached to the idols. 1000 years is a long time fans would even delude themselves that they are close with her.

    Yes, they have watched her as long as they had eyes, so they somehow feel she is their friends even though they never really spent any time with her.

  • She is aggressive to other singers following KPop so her fans are also aggressive to her.


    Having an aggressive fanbase means there are more diehard fans who will do crazier stuff, and the 4thGen does not have a big aggressive fanbase yet to my eyes.


    It might be that the nature of the 4th Gen fandom is indeed different, more behaved and more gentle overall, although there will always be some crazies.


    Yes, Lee Jieun always tends to underestimate the number of her diehard fans, which there appears to be a sizable number is anywhere in Asia now.

  • Outside of Korea, that could happen. If it happened in Korea, then it is a serious matter.

    That happened in Korea. NCT members have been knocked down in Korea too. It's not that infrequent. I was surprised at the lack of security protocols for them traveling at the airport. Only after several of these incidents did they get better and more organized but it's still not great.

  • Not when the cameraman who filmed enhypen's departure yesterday saying 'it's so scary' because of how many fans were there it looked like train to busan lol.

  • I think BTS with the highest selling and touring power has the least crazy and aggressive fans at the airport. It’s started with the purple ribbon project which fans made as barrier for the boys to have safe passage in the airport back in 2018?2019? Plus we don’t encourage photos or videos that come from the boys private time. So that’s why BTS usually can go about their business abroad and in Korea without fans swarming them. The fans will share their experiences after the boys left. It’s really cool.


    (Of course there will be some incidents but rare and not that bad considering their fame).
