Being a fan girl is not as easy as it looks like. It is not only about the boyband/girlband or the drama but more than that. We also have to understand the culture and language. There are a lot of case where international fans judge the Korean idols or fans because of their attitude or reaction towards something. A lot of them be like, "Why is he behaving like that? Korean netizen is too much, Why are they so butthurt?" or many comments like that. Well, all of us have a different view toward something and I'm sure that view is shaped by our culture. It is our culture which decides whether or not something is appropriate.
For instance, Baekhyun, Chanyeol or other EXO members call Kai, dark kid, a lot of international fan say that they are being racist towards Kai. Well, I think in Korea it is not racist. In my country, I think it is not really a big deal calling a person like that. A lot of people here call each other based on their appearance. Sometimes it is annoying, but it is something usual here. Lol. Thus, do not look at a foreign culture based on your culture.
In some situation, some international fans blame the Korean netizens for being overly sensitive. I think it is not because they are overly sensitive. It is more likely that the netizens think it is something inappropriate in their culture. It is not something that their culture can tolerate with. Well, I think that is the case. Hence, we have to consider a lot of things when commenting or viewing a situation. Don't just blame the Korean netizens. Try to view it from their perspective, their culture, not ours since it is a foreign culture. We are only a foreigner of their culture. I hope we can be a wise fan girl. Hehe.
