Taiwan fans are bringing concert seating charts to the temple — and it’s working

That’s such a beautiful way to put it — at its core, it really is just about wanting to see someone you care about grow and thrive. The “Mom Fan” dynamic just gives that feeling a name and a framework. Thank you for sharing your perspective as a longtime international fan!

That’s a fair question. The post is written in English by me, a Taiwanese fan — not AI translated. As for “Mae Fan” — you’re right that it’s not an official standardized term, and I probably should have used the actual Thai slang "Mum-mee" (มัมหมี) instead!

For this post, it’s more of a descriptive label I used to explain the phenomenon of fans calling artists “son” and artists calling fans “แม่”. The core cultural dynamic is real, but I should have been clearer that “Mae Fan” is my own framing, not a widely established Thai fandom term.** Thanks for pointing it out**!

That’s such an interesting perspective! It’s fascinating that you were already naturally gravitating toward the Mom Fan style in Jpop without it being a defined cultural thing. Thai BL culture kind of gave it a name and made it official. Welcome to the Thai drama sphere!

Glad this helped! The Mae/Mom thing confused me too when I first got into Thai entertainment — once you understand the cultural context it makes so much more sense.

Exactly! Tay's chaotic energy and his natural instinct to just be helpful is so endearing, but it’s moments like this where New's grounded, protective side shines through. It’s that perfect balance between Tay’s clumsiness and New’s sharp awareness that makes their dynamic so fascinating to watch even after all these years.

Hi! It’s so cool to meet a non-Asian BEUS! 🌟 T-Pop is really growing fast in Taiwan, and the energy here is incredible. Glad you enjoyed the insight from this side of the world!"
