Sensitive Controversial Opinion (1 Viewer)

[VillageIdiot]

Sasaengs are the back bone of kpop and stans are absolute hypocrites to claim they're above them or condemn them in any way. Tbh I don't think most idols would be as successful without them

*Those gorgeous airport photos your faves go viral for - you wouldn't have without sasaengs buying flight info and leaking it

Matter of fact, all fansite photos period. Not only do kpop stans eat it up but they all pay the fansite masters for merch

And let's not get started on how much sales groups get because of crazy stans buying up dozens of copies

The non stop streaming etc

Straight up facts

Stan sasaengs

 

[Jimimis]

Yeah I rlly don’t care about them unless they’re like straight up attacking the idol

 

[emptycup]

So sasaengs were the true avengers of kpop all along

 

[maruberry]

I think there is a line between Sasaeng and Sasaeng.
I'm fine with the ones who toe the line with airport photos, following them to schedules etc

The ones who try to actually board the planes WITH the idols, camp outside of their dorms, call their personal phone 24/7 or install spy cameras in the facilities idols will be attending.... They can go fuck their stalker selves

 

[maruberry]

But also yeah, fansite pics are a big part of kpop and a big part of appeal of idols...

 

[Administrator2]

okay but fansite =/= sasaeng

The line is thin and all of it is kinda weird sometimes

 

[VillageIdiot]

Until the idol does something wrong or date. I'd say fansites are sasaeng lite

The line is definitely VERY VERY damn blurred

Fansites are acceptable sasaengs, bcs their activities benefit the groups as well.

i saw

i agree

well kind of , i also agree with @maruberry

 

[eclipsoul]

i guess it depends on what kind of sasaengs we're speaking of. people who buy many albums and spend all their time streaming don't bother me at all because it doesn't negatively affect the idols, same with those who go to the airports (even if i don't really care for airport photos) because somehow it's still a part of their official schedule. but then you also have sasaengs like the one who wrote a 2pm member a letter using her period blood or who wanted to grab taeyeon off the stage while she was performing

As i remember that guy was for real mentality challenged. That was more a failure of any type of site security.

 

[amourpinks]

it doesn't help that companies pay these saseangs sometimes to go and follow these idols around and take pictures of them. they encourage the behavior.

 

[Jimimis]

They give you pretty Jimin pics

right? so its all good in my book
