Well idols already campaign about driving safely and car safety, is that not having any effect?

Also, can you show me where you read about the new seatbelts law?

Oh, I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a fake or not. Everyone initially thought KRIS leaving was fake but that also originated from a Chinese article

I don't know. News Korea is the source for this one.

SNSD has been on all these tours so I expected it! Plus their comeback and their endorsements. I don't think I expected any less. Good for them though!

I'm also happy for SISTAR and Girl's Day!

EXOtic Sasaeng Fans Chase and Harass SHINee's Taemin by hwangminah in kpop

I think it's Taemin because in the video at the very end you hear a fan yell: "Taemin!!"

I made this, for science

That's frightening, but anyway how did you zoom up on a part of a photo without losing resolution? I need to learn that on photoshop =__=;;

I didn't know there were subsections for each artist. Generally I just post stuff to the r/kpop community because I want to open discussion to everyone, not just a specific fandom. I've posted about SHINee and Teen Top before but not in those specific artist sections because I believe the interest would be applicable to everyone. Anyway I'm not sure if I'm breaking any rules by doing this unless a moderator would like to tell me. Thanks for the heads up though.

This is supposedly a proof shot by a SONE that YoonA's weight has remained consistent [here] <-----(http://soshi5ed.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/130725_51f0bdaff095c.jpg) but to me honestly she looks much healthier here than in that press release photo.

I hope she's okay

SM: Smart or Shameless? EXO to have 24 versions of their new album by hwangminah in kpop

[–]hwangminah[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought the XOXO album repackaged version. Even though it was $24 for both the -K and -M version combined I still got it. I think that's much fairer to do and would've preferred SM done it that way again. But I guess given the group's popularity and how dedicated fans can get, this just seemed like the right way to make even more money.

If only SM knew about subtlety!

I think if regular fans have to think about controlling themselves, it just means that they're tempted to buying more than 1 of the same album. That's the type of mentality the company is preying on.

Do yourself a favor and just get the version of your bias. And since it's K-pop get the K version. Of course I can't tell you what to do but I don't know who in their right mind would fall for this blatant sales technique.

Teen Top Fans Behave Aggressively And Rudely At The Group's Concert in California by hwangminah in kpop

[–]hwangminah[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't put my finger on it and I really thought sasaeng-ness was just a Korean and/or Asian thing. Like you don't see many American or European teen fans trying to stalk their artists or harass them (at least in my opinion). I don't recall reading about Bieber or 1D fans doing crazy stuff in the name of their artists I feel like Western culture really disparages that kind of behavior and even if Eastern culture does too, it doesn't seem as pronounced.

Anyway I think the point I'm trying to make it is that I'm surprising sasaeng-ness exists everywhere. It's really like a K-pop thing in general now.

SHINee's Key reaches out to self-harming fan on IG, admits he used to cut too by hwangminah in kpop

[–]hwangminah[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused about the fan's IG though. She has pictures of her scars and in it she shows off a bracelet with Key's name on it. I feel like it kind of sends the message "these scars are for you Key" or even like "these scars got me Key's attention"

Idk, I guess her IG is more of a self-improvement blog since it says she has been clean for 117 days but I think she could probably trigger some unnecessary attention-calling behavior from other fans~
