Despite facing relentless criticism from anti-fans, LE SSERAFIM’s recent airport photos reveal a devoted fanbase and unwavering public support. Their debut album’s success, including topping the Billboard World Albums chart, further cements their popularity. Anti-fans’ tactics, mirroring political extremism, have failed to dampen the group’s spirits or diminish their loyal following.
Amidst Anti-Fan Attacks, LE SSERAFIM’s Fanbase Rallies
LE SSERAFIM’s recent airport photos, circulating on the Korean online community Nate Pann, have sparked a heated debate about the group’s popularity. Despite persistent criticism from anti-fans, the photos paint a picture of a group with unwavering fan support.
A Swarm of Fans and Masternim
LE SSERAFIM’s arrival at the airport was met by a throng of eager fans, masternims (dedicated fans who closely follow their idols’ schedules), and reporters. Masternims are a crucial part of K-pop fandom culture, documenting every aspect of their idols’ lives and sharing it with other fans. Their presence at the airport highlights the group’s strong and dedicated fanbase.
Anti-Fans’ Baseless Claims
Nate Pann is known for its anti-LE SSERAFIM sentiment, where detractors have persistently questioned the group’s public appeal. Anti-fans have primarily targeted LE SSERAFIM’s vocal abilities, pointing to their performance at Coachella as evidence of their perceived shortcomings. Additionally, the presence of Japanese member Sakura Miyawaki has been exploited to fuel accusations of pro-Japanese sentiment.
Countering the Narrative with Facts
In contrast to the anti-fans’ claims, the airport photos reveal a significant crowd of reporters, masternims, and regular fans eagerly awaiting LE SSERAFIM’s arrival. Empowered by this visible support, LE SSERAFIM fans have actively challenged the anti-fans’ narrative.
Undeterred Anti-Fans Resort to Subtle Tactics
Despite legal action threatened by LE SSERAFIM’s agency, Source Music, anti-fans have not completely abandoned their tactics. Unable to openly engage in direct attacks, they have resorted to subtler methods of disparaging the group. One such tactic involves spreading rumors that LE SSERAFIM’s male fanbase is responsible for the lack of attention received by NewJeans at the airport, a claim that has been refuted by LE SSERAFIM fans. Additionally, anti-fans have resorted to vague insinuations about LE SSERAFIM’s negative public image, rather than providing concrete evidence.
Fans Defend LE SSERAFIM with Achievements
LE SSERAFIM fans have countered these attacks with tangible evidence of the group’s success. Their debut full-length album, “UNFORGIVEN,” has amassed over 120 million views on YouTube and topped the Billboard World Albums chart. Within Korea, the album reached No. 1 on Melon’s music chart. These achievements serve as a testament to the group’s undeniable popularity.
Anti-Fans’ Tactics Mirror Political Extremism
The tactics employed by LE SSERAFIM’s anti-fans bear an unsettling resemblance to those used by certain political groups in Korea. Anti-fans have exaggerated minor issues, fabricated false narratives, and even resorted to accusations of pro-Japanese sentiment to discredit the group. Unfortunately, these tactics have gained traction among some, highlighting the need for a more discerning public.
Towards a Mature Fan Culture
While it’s encouraging that the Korean public is gradually recognizing the true nature of these anti-fans, there’s still a long way to go. The establishment of a mature idol fandom culture, one that fosters support for one’s favorite group without attacking others, is crucial to fostering a healthier and more respectful online environment.
