[@otterdisguised23]

yeah! whenever i go to concerts like these i make sure to bring every single lightstick so every group is appreciated. it would be so heartbreaking to say mean things to them like these fans did. so toxic kpop is becoming...

[@not_in_the_mood]

i never understood when people (especially 2nd gen stans) would say “i missed when kpop was peaceful and every fandom got along” when that is a huge lie. fanwars have always been a part of the kpop community. atp i’d even say that it’s normalized which is sad, but at the same time, nobody cares enough to put a stop to it or call it out. you’d think that after all these years of going back and forth, people would get tired of constantly fighting damn near everyday but i get the feeling that the majority of kpop stans find entertainment in fanwars which is why it isn’t going to stop anytime soon. some y’all will sit on your devices all day just commenting or tweeting hate towards a group or idol just to purposely argue with people and it’s weird af. but the crazy thing is, a fanwar could start from the most harmless comment ever. someone could say “that hairstyle doesn’t suit xyz” and then all of a sudden you’ve got hundreds of people getting mad and trying to call your fave ugly then BOOM, before you know it a fanwar starts. now i’ve seen instances where fanwars have started for good reasons. such as falsely accusing an idol for something that we know for a fact they would never do, body shaming, making fun of mental health/death, etc. those types of things are crossing the line and whatever fandom condemns it (which lets be real, a lot of them do) they deserve to be dragged imo. but for all the unnecessary things y’all argue about like clothes, awards, looks, etc,…all that needs to end asap.

[@ButIamAStick]

Yes 100% fan wars were normal since the conception of kpop

[@DeukJK]

As a long time stan, it was never quiet during those times

[@teadora99]

Its not the second gen stans saying that though? Its 4th gen stans that never experienced second gen as it was happening. They believe that since idols had collab stages that fanwars didn't happen which was not the case. None of us have ever wanted kpop to be "peaceful" like second gen kpop has just never been "peaceful"

[@not_in_the_mood]

@@teadora99 no i can definitely say that it’s mostly 2nd gens saying it because they always mentioning how kpop “isn’t like it once was” or something along those lines when in reality, the kpop community has always been terrible, especially the fans. it wouldn’t make sense for 4th gen stans to be saying it especially if they’re new to kpop since they weren’t even there.

[@naffisaabedin7977]

You’re absolutely right. It’s just that we barely see those wholesome interactions anymore as they start taking more precautions and some groups don’t even attend shows anymore, covid ruined a lot.

This is the reason why they deserve every success in their career. Girls' Generation faced so much hardship and criticism when they debuted. I am just so proud that they took their experience and made it into an encouragement to strive harder. They worked so hard into becoming the artists that they are now. They didn't just built a successful career, they made a legacy and that legacy will forever live on. Girls' Generation is not just a kpop group, they are the representation of empowered women. They built a generation for girls. They paved so many ways and opened so many doors for girl groups. They are not just artists, they are a legendary group of girls who inspires and encourages so many young and upcoming idols. They are passionate and they love what they do, that is why they are successful. I am so happy that after all these years they are still relevant and impactful. 15 years into their careers and they are still well respected and still popular. GIRLS' GENERATION is the BEST GIRL GROUP to ever exist.

I need to rewatch the drama Reply 1997 for the fanwar stuff

[@lunarsoulz]

I come from 2nd Gen and followed Big Name and Small Name Girl Groups around that time. I will not forget the crazy Fanwar between Dal Shabet and B1A4 Fans where Police had to get involved. Fanwars existed in 2nd Gen but it didnt blow up until 3rd Gen. SNSD was asked what they thought about 3rd Gen now that Kpop has become a battlefield, and they answered very diplomatically. I returned to Kpop recently so I missed 3rd Gen, and I was amazed at the amount of hate and fighting that is occurring. I once wrote "Rose is a great singer", and then some Blink replied "Its Rosé or Rosie, get it right next time B***H!" I was like "wow ok psycho", but you see and feel that everywhere. Girls Generation used to interact with Boy Groups from different Agencies all the time, but now Idols cant even be near each other without someone trying to start something. Its very unfortunate. Kpop got bigger, but Fandoms seem to be getting worse.

[@mangamama9881]

Fanwars were horrid back then but at least idols could still interact with each other. Nowadays a male idol so much as breathes in the general direction of a female idol (or vice-versa) and they get so much hate for it. Like omfg give them a break lmao.

I remember witnessing the fan war between ELF and Sone as many of my friends were participating in the online war themselves (we were all outside of Korea, this is to describe how big Kpop became in 2009 as fans from other countries also participate in the war). There were crazy fans on both sides, so the fan war was brutal. It's still ongoing now, just in a smaller scale.

[@bugfany10]

It wasn't only Super Junior and DBSK fans. Another group that was huge during that period was SS501 and their fans (Triple S) took part in the boycott. Together, the 3 fandoms were called CARTEL. During 2nd gen, groups appeared on variety shows together, which was how SS501 and SNSD members were seen 'together' even though they aren't from the same company like SJ and DBSK. And during then, sometimes members were asked to choose who was their 'fav' from the other group, leading to more jealousy.

It will only get worse if the authorities or/and the companies doesn’t do anything about this. Honestly sometimes I think that the companies just do whatever the fans want and not what the idols want. The thing is that they don’t even take a lesson of all the idols that committed suicide too. People don’t realise how dark the K-pop industry is, it would look all glittery, shiny and beautiful on one side but when you look from the other side it is just plain inhuman, all the pain, suffering and constantly forcing yourself to fit a certain standard etc.

[@onghwang7026]

I'm pretty sure it didn't stop in Dream Concert. I remember SNSD members talked about performing in SMTOWN and when they were performing, it wasn't a black ocean but red & blue fans (TVXQ and Super Junior) used their lightstick and formed an "X" while SNSD were performing. I think it was on the same year as the Dream Concert.

A black ocean is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking things in kpop. You have to be vile to participate in it. I’ve been to kcon and other kpop concerts and I have, and always will, waved my lightstick for every single performer. Even if I didn’t like them. Because at the end of the day, I don’t have to like but I do have to respect them. Turning off your lightstick is huge disrespect. If you’re a kpop stan you KNOW what all of these groups have to go through to get to where they are. They all deserve a bright ocean.

Damn ELFs are absolutely THE WORST and one of the most toxic fandoms ever!!!! I started stanning SuJu back in 2009 and they were the 1st Kpop group I've loved. However, over the time I started to realize how ridiculous, disrespectful and immature the fandom truly is and I left the whole fandom all together. I vividly remember back in 2010 there were at least 20 pages on FB that I only knew off dedicated to photo-shopping the most horrible pics of SNSD members. Calling them horrendous names and one of the pages was named "Antis of the 9 COWS" !!!! And when Suju and snsd made commercials together for the brand SPAO elfs went CRAAAAZYYYYY with their hate and horrible comments. They were also fighting basically any other fandom that comes their way. They had fanwars with VIPs and Hottests (2pm fans), but the biggest one was with EXOLs I remember when EXO first debuted ELFs arranged events in specific times to go leave hate comments on EXO teasers and vids. Saying that EXO copied Suju's concept (which is absolutely ridiculous and SO NOT TRUE ... DUH), and they even went to the point to being extremely happuly and festive when Kris left EXO and they were basically praying for EXO disbanding. I couldn't handle all the hate and meanness in that horrible fandom and I stopped stanning Suju all together in 2014. O now when people say things like "Oh I miss the 2nd gen days when there were no fanwars" I be like YEAH RIGGGGHT !!!

I'm currently in one where the fans create fake Twitter accounts to bash a specific fan who was shown attention. They even go as far as sending DMs to hate on someone who won a competition or who was supporting the boys on Twitch with bits and subs. It's ridiculous! And this is in the same fandom! These "fans" are so selfish. They don't realize they're hurting the fandom and the people they supposedly support.

[@itspattiiii3880]

I never understood this fan wars stuff...really, fans need to grow the hell up! Live and let live. Just because someone stans another group than your faves don't mean you should harass others to the point of starting fights and whatnot else. I have always been very proud of the many groups I stan and love and I couldn't care less what other fans say. I love the music I am listening to and because I love music so much, there is not one single hair on my head that will only stan one group just because fans are making these rules, like why? There are worst things in the world and on top of that music should bring everyone together. Also hating on a girl group because they are hanging out with your favorite oppa's, like really? 😂😂😂 just read that again and am I the only one thinking that is ridicilous?

[@Drawwithambu]

I can't understand.....why do they do this😔😔😔😔..... it's so disappointing.......I'm sorry but you don't deserve to be called as fans....😢😢

[@someone.7686]

I am SO happy about what happened in the 2013 concert. at least SNSD can get the appreciation they finally deserved!

[@marmar8604]

EXO-ls Vs Army It’s also another big fanwar

[@Tinkerbell-ck2ho]

This is another pointless and stupid fanwar. One fandom will not let the other breathe and be at each others throat 24/7.

[@davestridr]

arent kai and jimin and taemin all friends? im an exol never really understood this fanwar

[@jungkookluvie]

​@@davestridr. I understand what you mean but idols being friends doesn't make the fandom have sympathy for each other, the name "FANwar" says it all.

[@msb5775]

I always imagine that two idols are politely friendly to each other if they see each other around and that’s it. I don’t make assumptions about who’s friends with who and who’s enemies with who.

[@Moonlight_Shad0w]

Yall, SNSD was so hated to the point there were official INTERNATIONAL anti SNSD forums in 2009

[@nouhedg4035]

Some of the new fans will never understand what it feels like to actually WITNESS these fan wars!! Today's fanwars are a little mild compared to back then but you know why I still like 2nd gen over the last 2 gens ?? Is that they didn't give a flying fuck what fans said about them loool Especially SNSD they were friends with EVERY boy group and didn't care AT ALL . They are famous , talented , classy and are still the most respected girl group to this day , that's why they're the standard 👏👏

[@Aliceohstar]

This is what stopped me from even being a kpop fan/Stan, the toxicity in the community shines BRIGHT and I just could not be apart of it. Some of these “fans” need to get a slap back to reality and to get a grip. I’m not out for those who genuinely like kpop and respect the idols, respect other people’s opinions, and aren’t obsessed stalkers who act like they are gonna date these idols even tho they aren’t, and don’t agree that kpop idols should not date and be skinny as a twig. Like I love kpop songs but the fact that this community can’t even be stable is just hard to stand with, and the fact these idols are real people just makes it worse as it’s not even fiction that we’re dealing with and people actually do get affected. 😐

[@clairehula4005]

People should not compare other groups to other K-pop groups, because it honestly doesn’t matter what group you like… but it is important to understand, recognize, and respect the fact that not all people like the same group, and that is ok.

[@Your_girl_Raven8]

I feel so bad for idols having to go through this, fanwars are so childish

[@Artkivee]

These types of fans have their own mindset that their fav idols can't be friends with each other. They make scenarios in their mind imaging themselves with their idols and that is very childish, everything should be normalize. If a male and a female idol are talking to each other that doesn't always mean that they are dating. This should be stopped. I see so many fans fighting with each other for their idols in the comment section. Some fans have no idea how toxic they've become and these fans make the entire fandom toxic. These fans should live in reality

[@nikkonikkoni8264]

Totally agree with you......BUT I also feel that one of the main reasons could be their extreme hate towards a particular group that they don't want their idols to interact I feel. Idk I could be wrong but I somehow feel that's the root cause

[@Artkivee]

@@nikkonikkoni8264 yeah that's also true. Some Blinks and army were spreading hate towards tae and Lisa. They both had a normal interaction. I saw so many inappropriate comments on her posts. Imagine if there fav idols got married or had a relationship how would these fans will react.

[@Moonlight_NS]

“Idols aren’t your dolls to f*ck with”

[@yuyukit]

4th gen fanwars got nothing on 2nd gen fanwars, wow. all we do is argue on twitter meanwhile 2nd gen fans went out of their way to humiliate not only the fans but the artist💀 I don't mean this as if i want the same thing ofc but this is just so merciless

[@yuyukit]

and wow, ALL because snsd demonstrated that they were close to their male favs?? it's beyond understanding for me how people can develop parasocial relationship so strong. like i thought we all understand where fanservice is and that the best reaction to it is to giggle a lil,.cringe a lil and continue with your day but there are people that take it seriously and actually believe they have a chance with their favs??? it's so so far beyond me

[@Tanishaluvzmumbai]

When ppl say fan wars are worse now….I’m like…no not even close its way calmed down now….still bad but nowhere near what second gen dealt with…

[@kimib1007]

Super junior and Girls generation are literally brother and sister groups.

[@sjdt9721]

The Boyz & LOOΠΔ are literally brother & sister groups?

[@ihatesnakeu8282]

This is too much!people need to stop being toxic..

[@caangelesPH]

After 9 years, they finally released their new song “Forever 1”. Haters who criticized them during girls generation’s nightmare concert should learn their lesson for accusing them for all the things they done during that time.

[@kayubakar1127]

i remember my sister who is elf did fanwar with dbsk fandom, even tho they r idol in same company. Girls generation fandom also had same experience with their sunbae fandom. I mean if they r so ruthless to one another (same company) imagine how barbaric so called sm stan are when doing fanwar with another company idol fandom

[@shivanithakor1027]

Fan wars are just so absurd. No matter how much you love your idol and care about them that does not give you the right to speak for them and bully other idols. At times some Fandom just keep clashing while their idols are literally bffs.

[@bhavyasrivastava3612]

As an exol i can relate to that... so many other fans tried to do a black ocean for EXO but luckily Exols were there in a huge amount so that becomes a slap on their face. Big thanks to Shawols(SHINee's fandom) who also turned on their lightsticks and supported EXO. lots of love to you guys!!

[@chococofffee]

I think some fans just destroys everything:( Friendship between fem and male idols Friendship between famous idols of different groups Love relationships Try to bring some members down for the dumbest reasons And so on

[@lamoskgr]

2:14 That's not true. They didn't find out about it after their performance ended. You make so many things up, it's amazing the imagination you have. They have told this story over and over again. After their performance ended, the started realising what happened and they cried so much backstage

[@lll.24601]

This channel just likes to do things for clot.

[@safdghjklyftdrseawehhjk]

It's unfortunate that I can see this happening again, at least in some modern form. Netizens can get crazy on the internet, man.

[@Jesus_is_savior]

I’m from 2022 and I can say everyday in twitter it is 1000000000000000000000000000000000000x worse.

[@kennyvesty3585]

Being SONEs since their early debut days, im proud and also emotional at the same time thinking how much these 9 girls had to endure and struggled in their early days. Now they crowned as legend by all music show and tv broadcast officially.

[@sherbear6625]

I’m a multifan so I Stan so many groups lol 😂 I just appreciate them. Obviously I might be more bias with 2nd Gen because I grew up with them when I was a teen but I also like 3rd Gen groups. Maybe not as much with 4th Gen but I like Aespa so far since they aren’t minors thankfully. For 1st Gen I love Shinhwa because they are veterans like I have to respect 1st Gen or else there wouldn’t be a 2nd Gen

[@pitgroove.37_66]

This makes me question the point of fanwars to begin with, especially if it involves a really popular groups. These are the kind of moments that make me less proud of a K-pop fan, simply due to all the conspiracies and drama that happens not just between fandoms, but within the phantom's themselves as well. And it always breaks my heart when a fanwar happens right in front of my eyes and I don't realize it even happened until it settles down. This is kind of what makes me regret being a K-pop fan to begin with, and it always breaks my heart when the artists themselves get along well but the fanbases don't 😭😭

[@preciouslyunhinged]

as an international fan,k netizens are the most toxic fans in majority in kpop,,yes there international fans like that too but its extra much in k pop .

[@bnpray2279]

sometimes anti, hate, delusional, 'fanwar' thingy is just beyond comprehend, why can't them just like something without hating on another thing. I'm so glad that ppl around me who stan on a group never hate or doing anything stupid to group they do not stan.

[@Dshi_Delia]

I don’t understand this people or haters this concert costs and I think you go in this concert 1-2 times *be respectful guys*

[@Luv143kiz]

its like some fans not all dont think that idols have feelings

[@skyotomi]

H.o.t. Fanwars were between sechs kies and not god if i remember correctly. god only came into the timeline way later.
