[Archives] What’s the deal with anti-fans? The dark side of Kpop’s fan culture

 As we all know, there are hardly any paparazzis in South Korea? and the reason is..
Simply because fans ARE the real papparazzis, they seem to have alot of free time on their hands, and stalk their idols 24/7. heck, they’re even more efficient than reporters..
But at least we all know fans won’t do anything to hurt their idols. However, things are different when we have the anti-fans.
” An anti-fan is a person who ‘hates’ a particular celebrity or icon. Anti-fanclubs, also known as virtual communities of disregard, hate listings and diss-share sites are groupings of such anti-fans.”

K-Pop Songwriter's Racist Tweets Spark Outrage

by: Yoojiin on Feb 19, 2012 

 

Jenny Hyun, the co-songwriter behind Girls' Generation's "How Great is Your Love" and Chocolat's "One More Day" recently sparked controversy with a slew of racist tweets.
On February 16, the former singer posted over a dozen derogatory comments on her Twitter against African-Americans. The fuel for her outrage? A dismissive tweet by boxer Floyd Mayweather about NBA star Jeremy Lin:"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise."
Hyun responded that Floyd was a "subhuman, ungrateful APE," and then started spreading vitriol about the black community in general. She insinuated that Whitney Houston's recent passing wasn't such a loss because of "all that baggage" she came with, and referred to African-Americans as "disgusting, violent, arrogant, and stupid." Then, in an even more frightening twist, she repeatedly called for the eradication of the entire black race:

• "Eradication of one toxic family is exactly what this world needs."
• "Think about all the money we would save not having to give their never ending charities, replacing a black worker with any other race."
• "We don't know what it's like with them not here. But imagine a world with NO BLACK PEOPLE. All the tension in every aspect of life would be drastically improved without them around. And ONLY them."

K-Pop fans started to tweet her to tell her to stop. Following the angry tweets she received, Hyun protected her Twitter account and then posted an apology of sorts on her blog. The sincerity of her apology left something to be desired, as she prefaced it with an explanation that people were saying they knew where she lived, and followed it up with a statement that she did not regret what she said. She also posted a blog entry with a meme that read "I regret nothing," as well as another meme that compared a modest hut in Africa to a picture of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago, ostensibly in order to draw a contrast between the quality of the two civilizations.


Later that day, she also tweeted, "I Love KFC #YaHeard" and "This is not Black America, THIS IS ASIA AMERICA." As of now, the "apology" has been removed from her site, while the memes remain.

MTV K Top 10 Countdown: Which Songs Sparked The Biggest Dance Crazes in K-Pop?

I guess our S<3NES were sleeping on the job?

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 by Anna Park in Celebs, Film/TV, Music

Dance: It’s an element of K-pop that can’t be overlooked. From the groovy retro moves of T-ara and the Wonder Girls to the sexy hip-swaying of the Brown Eyed Girls, K-pop dances have taken over the world… or at least the Internet.
Sure, sure, there are plenty of complex, practically impossible, backflip-bboy-handstand-split-filled choreographies here and there that are impressive to watch, but this week’s we’ve picked 10 of the best songs to dance along to: MTV K’s TOP 10 DANCE CRAZES!
I’m talking fun, catchy, and sometimes just plain embarrassing to learn. Let’s admit it, we’ve all had our awkward moments, like getting a leg stuck while trying to do Son Dambi’s chair move or realizing that KARA’s butt dance just doesn’t look as cool without those suspenders. But that’s why we love ‘em and cover ‘em. No shame!
Here is MTV K’s list of 10 songs that sparked awesome videos gone viral and hilarious parodies by Korea’s top idols and comedians.
And if you haven’t already, check out EPISODE 1 of MTV K’s new show STUDIO 5 to watch our host Grace and special guest Ellie count down this week’s TOP 10 for you!
Voting ends Sunday, October 2 at 11:59PM EST, and your rankings for the Top 10 Dance Crazes will be revealed next Wednesday!

Who’s Got K-Pop’s Hottest Summer Body?

Thursday, June 2, 2011 by Anna Park in Celebs, Fashion

After MTV K readers eagerly crowned their Top Sexiest Female and Male Idols, we thought we’d be done drooling over the idol hotties for a while.
We thought wrong.
With beach season fast approaching, why not celebrate with some delicious eye candy? MTV K’s latest Top Ten poll features the hottest summer bodies of the K-Pop idol world, and we need YOU to decide who’s got the ultimate beach body!
If all were fair in love and K-pop, then this would be Korea’s Top 100 Summer Bodies (and include drop-dead gorgeous celebs like actors Lee Minho and Baek Sung Hyun)! …But it’s not, so instead, we’ve narrowed it down to the hottest idol group members!
In no particular order, here are the candidates for the Top Ten Summer Bodies in K-Pop! Now it’s up to you to vote for the idol you think has the best summer body!
Top Ten Hottest Summer Bodies!

Often referred to as the Yoona of Super Junior (for more reasons than one), Choi Siwon’s role in Asia’s biggest boy band is clear. Just look at him! With his sexy trademark eyebrows and that piercing gaze, sometimes we forget how built this man is. Looks like someone wasn’t wearing a smock during art class~

Photo Credit: JYP Entertainment

The powerful diva-rapper of the Wonder Girls placed second in MTV K’s poll for sexiest female idol. So naturally, Yubin’s in the running for hottest summer body as well! In addition to her gorgeous looks and toned body, Yubin’s been getting noticed for her impeccable fashion taste as well!

Photo Credit: YG Entertainment

With a sexy R&B vocal color to complement his rock-hard chocolate abs, Big Bang’s Taeyang is every girl’s dream. Who cares if he’s only like 5’5″, 5’6″? Just watch one performance of “I’ll Be There” and your doubts about his sexiness will vanish into thin air!

We thought about passing the baton over to Seohyun or Yoona this time around, but it can’t be helped – Girls’ Generation’s Yuri has got ideal proportions for a beach babe. Plus, she makes for a pretty hot lifeguard!

A first look at the prettiest member of 2PM tells you he’s the most adorable thing alive. And you wouldn’t expect such a muscular build on someone with such a pretty face. But alas, this Olympian creature exists – and he goes by the name of Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul. (In reality, we wish we could nominate all six members for this beauty pageant, but we settled with sending in the Thai Prince as the group’s representative)!

It was a tough decision between After School‘s Gahee and UEE, but K-Pop’s sweetheart nabbed the nomination for hottest summer body — Thanks to her long legs, honey thighs, and impeccable S-line.

Who knew the vocal powerhouse of 2AM was rocking a hot bod as well? Changmin surprised (and delighted) his fans when he collaborated with 8eight‘s equally-as-shockingly-fit Lee Hyun for their project album Homme. Imagine seeing this rugged hunk of muscle at the beach…

Meet the MTV K reader’s choice for Sexiest Female Idol. Ga-In‘s a spunky blend of cute and sexy, giving off a potently curious allure. The petite beauty queen uploaded photos of herself at a pool on her Cyworld, and netizens went crazy over her gorgeous body!

Photo Credit: Caribbean Bay via Daum

F(x)‘s Victoria, the other half of Khuntoria, K-Pop’s hottest make-believe couple, is best known for her unbelievable flexibility. And it’s no surprise that she’s got a glamorous body with which to pull off those insane stretches.

If you saw TVXQ‘s Changmin our Top Ten Sexiest Male Idols list, you’ll remember that charismatic leader U-Know Yunho was disqualified for his man boobs. This time around, we’re giving him bonus points for his… twin assets. (Yes, we’re shameless, we know.)
Honorable Mentions
While these next two heavy-hitters aren’t really considered young idols anymore, it’s impossible not to mention them in a face-off like this. Especially considering that they have been the reigning King and Queen of all that is sexy in K-Pop for years now. As the saying goes, “Age before beauty,” and these hot icons give K-Pop a good taste of both!

Photo Credit: Cosmopolitan Korea

Lee Hyori. Need I say more? This woman is a legend in the world of K-Pop, and her photoshoots always reflect her flawless (not to mention natural) beauty. Praised by netizens for her goddess-like body and honest personality, Hyori could knock out the competition with her clothes on. But we’re picking the hottest summer body this week, so… yeah.

Photo Credit: Cosmopolitan Korea

Back in ’09, MTV Iggy reviewed what was to be Rain‘s breakthrough Hollywood film, Ninja Assassin: “Rain went from an adorable bubblegum pop-star to a chiseled leading man who can squeeze grapes in the ridges of his new six-pack.” Can’t say it any better than this! How will his fans survive during the two year drought after he begins his military sentence this summer?!

This week’s poll closes at 11:59PM (U.S EST) Sunday night, June 5th so vote as much as you’d like until then!
If you think we’re doing a disservice to the idol member YOU think has the hottest summer body, leave us a comment below, send an angry tweet our way (@mtvkofficial), or drop us a line on our Facebook page! We want to hear from you!
(I’d also like to give a personal shout out to Calvin Klein for taking their turn with practically every idol group. Marketing strategy for jeans = shirtless idols = ♥)
