Sasaeng fans all over again...
Receantly (3 days ago) was the actor/singer Jang Geun Suk's turn <-- yeah you know who it is ;)
This is not the first time that Jang Geunsuk has publicly expressed his anger and disappointment with saesang fans as he tweeted a similar post last year in October. It read, "You crazy fans, you think you can know everything I do just by following me everywhere? Smile while you still can because if you continue to annoy me, I will take action."
Unfortunately Jang Geunsuk's first tweet seems to have fallen on deaf ears as he has had to once more warn saesang fans to leave him alone.
Upon seeing Jang Geunsuk's recent angry tweet, many netizens left comments such as, "You should take legal action against those crazy saesang fans," "Wow, it sure is difficult being such a popular celebrity," and "Jang Geunsuk oppa, fighting!"
"The Ugly Reality of Kpop idol auditions"
This one KBS show recently did a special feature about idol trainee auditions, and what the real deal is behind closed doors.
One trainee was found stating, “Even I knew that I wasn’t able to show off my full potential during my condition, but they gave me a positive review. But after I passed the audition, they demanded that I pay $2,700 USD.”
The trainee was also asked to call the director of her agency without alerting him that he was being recorded. When asked about the contract fee she was forced to pay, he replied, “There are no agencies these days that support you financially 100%. Since we do support you 100%, don’t leave us. Even if you say that we forced you to provide sexual favors, you really have nothing to say in the end.”
Another trainee hoping to become an actress later gave her own account, revealing, “The agency said they were looking for a small role and wanted to meet me in person. They instead dragged me to their home and force fed me various drinks, claiming that they needed to check my limit. After a while, they taped my mouth shut so that I couldn’t scream, and further claimed that in order to become a celebrity, I needed to have sex with him.”
What was even more shocking for viewers was that this all happened before she entered her third year of junior high school. (credit: allkpop)
This isn’t at all surprising, but it’s nevertheless disturbing. Issues like this keep coming up again and again, and I continue to wonder if anything is even being done about this.
The comments of this particular article brings to light a few good points.
Everyone’s saying only small sketchy companies would do such a thing, but in reality it’s the big companies that have the power. If someone said she was abused by the CEO of a huge company, do you think anyone would believe her? They’d say “no, you’re just bitter about being rejected”. Just look at the replies on this article, no one wants to believe their favorite companies are anything but beautiful and loving.
Everyone’s not saying that only the small sketchy companies would do this, and yeah, the big companies have power. Most are saying that smaller companies would do this because they’re mostly unknown companies, therefore it would be easier for them to get away with it. I, for one, think it’s unlikely something like this would happen in SME because of the age that SM takes in trainees, same for YGE, and JYPE. Also, the way the auditions are conducted in all three companies. SME, JYPE, and YGE aren’t the only big companies, but they are the three major companies in SK at the moment. We just think it’s unlikely they’d do something like that. I’m not saying a trainee hasn’t been subjected to that kind of treatment before and that it won’t happen in the future.
Watchdogs need to delve deeper into this issue, especially into the cases of the more popular agencies. It would be naive to say that the bigger names are completely immune from scandals like this, and I’m quite certain even today’s popular idols have gone through situations like this.
There’s another comment I kinda wanna address:
It’s sad that this happens almost everywhere. Here’s something that E.H.P posted in a forum topic, and it’s something I agree with about the Big 3:
“Okay, so if you’re from the U.S., I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “casting couch”? Well if you haven’t, it means trading sexual favors for a career advancement. This is prevalent in Hollywood. Gwyneth Paltrow and Lisa Rinna have spoken about the Hollywood tradition of sex-for-roles. A lot of other celebrities have mentioned it in their memoirs or interviews. It happens ALL the time.
BUT does that mean you can automatically assume that happens in DISNEY auditions?? No, you can’t. When people who don’t really know Korea make the assumption that SNSD must have had sex for their careers, to me, it’s the same thing as non-Americans making the assumption that Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, etc must have had sex for their careers.
Seohyun, Jessica, Hyoyeon, Yoona, Yuri, and BoA got casted when they were in Elementary School. Sulli, Taeyeon, and Luna and got casted at a really young age, too. I’m not sure the people who held the auditions told the young girls, “You’re going to be accepted as trainees into S.M., but you have to promise to have sex with us when you turn 15.” You can see youtube videos of Yoona, Yuri, and Seohyun goofing around as elementary school kid trainees in the SM practice rooms, even talking to SuJu and DBSK members. I don’t think they were sexually traumatized elementary school kids.
Also, in large companies like SM, JYP, YG, auditions are recorded. And they have to pass the judgment of a whole PANEL of judges, some of which are FEMALE. So, it’s kind of hard to have sex with all of them in exchange for acceptance into the company.
There are so many reasons why it’s HIGHLY unlikely that female trainees didn’t have sex in order to debut. These are just a few.”
I’m not saying that SM, JYP, and YG haven’t had someone in the company do that, but I still think it’s pretty unlikely.
You cannot make assumptions from what you see on TV. Broadcasting agencies themselves have underground alliances with various entertainment companies (seriously, you shouldn’t even BEGIN to underestimate the financial and manipulative power of these bodies), and of course they’re not going to publicly release anything that would cause the slightest blow to these labels’ reputations. Auditions are recorded, yes, but where’s the proof that the dialogue (and representatives) in those recordings are legit? Again, money is power. When you are rich and influential, anything can be dreamt up and made possible.
And of course, idols who were sexually traumatized are not going to make it obvious when there are cameras around.
Here’s another comment that sums up everything else I wish to say:
It is very sad and unfortunate that situations like these happen all the time in so many industries but it is even more upsetting when you know the lengths of how far the industry will go to cover up the truth in order to maintain a healthy image toward the public. Young teenagers and children in the entertainment and modeling industry are always targeted and victimized because of their vulnerability and it would be nice if the government could do something about it. However, companies always hold the advantage in terms of money, influence, slander, and black mail in an attempt to discredit the victim. Also, victims are often too ashamed or frightened to reveal the truth due to fear of persecution and the possibility that no one is willing to believe them…
And to end, I agree with what other commenters have brought up: reveal the names of these companies already. So many young kids are aspiring to enter the entertainment industry more than ever, and there needs to be some kind of certified, public informant steering them in the right directions (like a UNION, maybe?!?!)
But of course, all these things are waaaay easier said than done. Ugh, this industry needs a serious cleanse. Fast.
These kinds of stuff makes me wanna go to Korea start my own clean company and assist pure idols! The heck is this?! It's disgutsing that you have to go trough something like this to fulfill your dreams. Sure this stuff isn't just happening in Korea as a person mentioned in fact it's pretty commin in the whole world, but we're talking about kpop here.. so yeah XD
But this is nasty I just wanna #&%¤/%# some of the people over there -_- And no doubt that some of the most famous idols today may have been gone through something like this.
Kpop idols and their families
Some kpop idols who have undergone plastic surgery
Alright. Obviously, the idol who has openly admitted to receiving plastic surgery and even jokes about it is ZE:A’s Kwanghee. Kwanghee says that he’s fixed most of his face. It’s gotten to the point where the poor guy isn’t even able to drink some alcohol.
Next up is KARA’s Goo Hara. This gorgeous gal made an appearance early in 2010 and openly admitted to having some minor adjustments made to her face. She already had double eyelids before debut, but to make them more noticeable, her boss suggested surgery, which she agreed to. Instead of surgery,
After School’s UEE is one tough trooper. She’s been criticized a countless number of times on her body weight and her belly fat as well as plastic surgery accusations.
Singer Solbi is another star that came clean about having the inner corners of eyes cut to have bigger eyes (EW). It was already evident with her swollen face (seen above) during a broadcast of Music Core.
Then we also have members from SHINee, SNSD, 2NE1, B.E.G, and I bet that even 2PM have done it :o
Sasaeng Fans (LONG TEXT)
For example there has been lots of scandals with sasaeng fans and JYJ/DBSK.
Things Sasaeng Fans have done to JYJ/DBSK members:
–Made a copy of the key to DBSK’s apartment
–Followed Changmin, then broke his pinky finger
–Froze DBSK’s phone account, checked their call history on their cell phones, and checked one by one to see if they called a girl
–Looked for DBSK’s personal seal to register marriage documents
–Snuck in lingerie in DBSK’s bags
–Secretly ordered a bunch of pizza and chicken to DBSK’s apartment and forced them to pay for them
–Snuck into their apartment and kissed them while they’re sleeping
–Saved menstrual blood to give the oppas as a present
–Been the cause of their car accident
–Found the phone numbers of family members and called them
–Hit Changmin with a bag full of rock
–Used members’ social security numbers to sign into various internet sites
–Tapped their phones
And more. (source~)
When I read this.. I didn't really know what to think. What kind of people would take fandom so far? Sure, I know how it feels to be in love with Idols and I know how desperate one can get at some times. But that is no freakin' excuse for behaving like this!! Who sneaks in to their apartment when they're sleeping, isn't that illegal?? O__o
I also read this report that told the Sasaeng fans side of it all.
Apparently, most of the sasaeng fans are outcasts from school. That means that they have more time to stalk their Idols. These fans can spend all their time stalking their oppas, going to their dorms, practice rooms and salons. But to get to all these places they need taxi, and for taxi you need money.
Lee (15) spends about $1,000 USD a month on her sasaengactivities alone, which mostly goes into paying for the taxis that chase her oppas down.
Renting out a sasaeng taxi for a day costs $300 USD. She saves money by working part time at convenience stores and comic book rental stores, as well as saving $500 USD that would normally go into her after school classes.
She revealed, “I heard that there is also a girl that prostitutes herself to make money for her sasaeng activities.”
Sasaeng fans usually sleep or spend the night at PC rooms. Some will even be homeless during the summer and skip out on school. Extreme sasaeng fans go as far as to drop out of school completely.
As if all of this wasn’t already hard to believe, there are actual companies that fans can hire to spy on and watch over their oppas’ every activity all day.
One official of such a company revealed, “Sasaeng fans are stalkers. They’re not normal, they’ve mentioned killing someone, and even themselves. Some even ask us to find out what color clothes their idols wear to bed.”
One sasaeng even offered $100,000 USD if the company could steal her idol’s underwear.
The fans were then asked about the hatred and criticism they’ve been receiving since the scandal with JYJ came to light in the media.
Park (18) replied, “There are rules even amongst ourselves that we must keep. The fan that tried to kiss oppa broke one of our rules. I heard that, that particular fan was assaulted by other sasaengs for breaking the rule.”

So yeah.. what do you guys think about this? I could understand some of it. If I could see my idols on the street because I know they are there, I'd sure go and see them!! But not like this. Not stalking them like a crazy person, chasing them down with a cab -.-

The difference between "Visual" & "Face of the group"
- Random picture- XD
"Well, generally “Visual” and “Face of The Group” are typically the same thing. Let’s make it specific! In the other hand, “Visual” is the most good-looking / most attractive member in a group, though not always. While, “Face of The Group” is the member who appear on variety shows more than the others, who are usually in the center of their formation, or the one who brings the most publicity to the group.
For example, I take U-Kiss as the reference. The “Visual” in U-Kiss should be Kiseop, but the “Face of The Group” is Dongho because he’s the member of U-Kiss who brings the most publicity to U-Kiss, or in the other words the one who makes U-Kiss well-known among the fans. The same thing goes to MBLAQ. The “Visual” should be Thunder, but Lee Joon is the member who appear in public the most, then he’s the “Face of The Group”.
I see... that makes sense XD
Is Thunder really the visual in MBLAQ? o__o Thought it was... Lee Joon
Did You know that...
Horror in the kpop world: The Black Ocean *long post*
Dunno what I did yesterday but I read some old incidents about SNSD's flop concerts etc. so I searched a bit more on it and came across with the word "Black Ocean". As a newbie in the kpop world this is new stuff for me (and BO) so don't judge -__-
We all know that every group has its own color and during concerts fans buy/bring light sticks with the same color as the group, to... I don't know... wave and shake it during concerts to show their support?! XD For example Sujus color is Sapphire Blue and when you usually see concert photos you can see fans having light sticks in the picture. And a good definition for the "Black Ocean" is:
The first one is SNSD during the Dream Concert 2008. I don't really know what happened over here because it's so many stories/speculations behind this one. But all I can say is that it was a flop. People turned off their light sticks and some fans even screamed for Wonder Girls. No one really knows the "mastermind" behind this. Some people say that E.L.F's was the cause, or some fans brought pocket knifes and threatened the people around them so they had to "ruin" the concert, people got raped (this was a bit random...) etc. -___- No one knows the truth...
Eventually people probably (me) think that EXO are somehow replacing Suju soon. But I don't really feel any grudge or hate toward them. It's only what I think of the whole "Creating another 12-member group while Suju are getting older". I actually love EXO so it's a shame that some fans are nolifers who has to start a fight 24/7. There was a lot of rumours that during SS4 in Indonesia (were EXO M would perform) fans would do a Black Ocean on them (On EXO M). However it seems like there wasn't any so I'm glad about that (y) OuO
But the whole "Black Ocean" thing is just... lame o_o There's a clear line on how disrespectful you can be toward a group and this crosses the line BIG TIME. This isn't really the best way to handle stuff even if you dislike a group. The whole thing that happened during SNSD's concert seem unrealistic. I can probably write down a whole book on this but I'll stop here XD
Congratulations if you've read the whole post, you really deserv it. I somehow find things like this interesting, not in a good way but to somehow see the bad sides on kpop as well. Yeah I'm not that sick yet but it's good to know some kpop history both good and bad ones so I'll keep trolling around and write it down here in the future~ ^3^
