EXO Sasaeng Fans?

All photos are not mine. All we were from Tumblr/Google. Credit to owners.

TL;DR at bottom.

See, I normally never blog about K-Pop related controversies, or issues, but I just have a question that's just been nagging at me for a while, and it's especially relevant today.

How did you guys know Baekhyun's brother was getting married? And how did you find the marriage location/party? 



So normally, I don't really shit on sasaeng fans. Not because I support their actions; I really, truly do not condone it. It's generally because I'm someone who tends not to really care much about things that don't affect me. Call it self-centered, or whatever you may, but if it's not something I can solve because how am I supposed to really stop all the sasaeng fans out there? then I just don't really care/have an opinion about it.

Even now, with the current Baekhyun-wedding situation, I still don't have much strong opinions on it. I do have questions though. 

- At what point did it cross someone's mind to think, "TODAY I SHALL FIND OUT WHETHER BAEKHYUN'S BROTHER IS MARRIED OR NOT. IF NOT, PERHAPS HE IS ENGAGED AND WILL SOON WED. I WILL THEN GATHER ALL MY FELLOW SASAENGS AND CRASH HIS WEDDING, THAT MAY SOON BE APPROACHING, IN HOPES THAT WE WILL FIND BAEKHYUN AND THE REST OF EXO!" I seriously wonder if that was someone's exact thought process, because if it was... I'm speechless. 

- I read on Tumblr that fans arrived before Baekhyun arrived. They were bugging a lot of guests at the wedding asking if/when Baekhyun and the rest of EXO were coming. And again I want to ask, how the hell did you find the damn reception center?!


[In reference to this post, I have even more questions.]

- So if you're a sasaeng fan, in definition, you're someone who is an "excessively obsessed Hallyu fan" and "extreme fans who stalk their idols and invade their privacy with questionable methods." So, basically someone who's crazy "in-love"/obsessed, right? So... can I have an explanation as to why punching someone's throat in hopes of damaging their vocal chords and ruining their career is showing love? Again, speechless. 

- Also, showering the front of the SM building with chrysanthemum flowers (flowers that are supposedly used traditionally for dead people) because Baekhyun ignored you? ... Really?

[In reference to this post, I have even more questions.]

- Does making your idols apologize/feel sorry for your wrongful actions make you happy? I, for one, would not want my idol to feel like they're a burden on my life, and vice versa. 

- To make people that generally seem good-natured, (I say "seem" because I don't personally know them, although I'd give up a lot to) spew out posts that seem so angry... do you feel some sort of power over them? Like "WOW, I HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE TAO ANGRYZ"? Seriously though, what if he goes wushu on your ass? 
Seriously, I still care for you sasaeng fans.
Fair warning though, no?
Granted, he seems to fail a lot with his wushu moves on TV.

Now, what I'm about to say is just personal views, so don't feel the need to get all offended because you don't agree with what I'm gonna say:

1. To people who say that Tao shouldn't be such a sensitive ass about privacy since he gave up that right after he decided to become a famous, public figure: See, I agree with this to a certain degree. First of all, no one forfeits that right once they become a public figure. Privacy is privacy. You get less of it, yes. You absolutely should not have NONE of it, though. It's one thing to be photographed and followed on the sidewalks, or at the airports even. It's a totally different thing to be crashing a celebrity's relative's wedding. Some territories are too private, and there's a boundary that shouldn't be crossed. Now, if this was Baekhyun's wedding, it still would be inappropriate, but at least it's understandable, to say the least. But it's his brother's. 

Which goes to my second point...

2. I never understood people who can't seem to see things from the idol's point of view. Would you like it if someone crashed your relative's wedding because of you? Would you want to have to then go and apologize a bazillion times to the groom and bride? Would you then proceed to feel guilty, and incredibly ashamed of yourself for becoming an idol? Why, oh why, didn't you listen to your extremely conservative Asian parents and just become a damn accountant? Would you want to get punched in the throat?

And lastly...

3. How do sasaeng have time for this crap? God damn son, I have so much work due to do that I just want to cry in my mother's lap as she smothers me with love and food. How you gonna be out paying crazy amount for taxis to follow your oppa? I don't even have money for McDonalds sometimes.



TL;DR: In all seriousness though, if you have the resources, and time for school, do attend. I mean, following around your oppas and unnis aren't going to get your a job. And you're probably going to need a job for all that K-Pop merch, right? Privacy is privacy, no matter how much of it an idol has to give up. Think before you act.



- Your unni that needs to start working,
Dee

Girl Crushes

So those who know me in real life, or even read the small blurb on me on our tab about us, know that I love a lot of guys. I claim to be in love with every idol or actor out there. If you asked me to list out all my husbands, I can probably name 20 off the top of my head and still have way more to go. Jay Park, Junhyung, Zhang Yixing, Raymond Wong, Raymond Lam, Dongwoo, Yamashita Tomohisa, Yang Yoseob, and the list is pretty much never-ending...

A couple years ago, my friend really got into SNSD and said she like a girl crush on every member and I was kind of like... wat r u straight??? Mildly ignorant of me but if you don't know what a girl crush is, like me a couple years back, watch this:


... and now I totally know what a girl crush is and I below is a compilation of them. For all my girl crushes I'm gonna list, I'm on a level two when it comes to my love for them. Anyways, so while I often fangirl, blog about, and just obsess over my many many husbands, here's a random post about my girl crushes! Besides, posts about my oh-so-sad-life is getting boring.



1. NICOLE JUNG
Probably the biggest girl crush! I think she's absolutely amazing at everything she does and that's not my bias-for-her speaking. I love that she's the main dancer and main rapper for KARA so she already does 2/3 of the main tasks of every group. She can sing and she can speak fluent English! I think she's stunning and is the prettiest member of the group. When they were on "All The K-Pop" and those plastic surgeons said she was the least attractive member, I remember being so shocked since I thought she was the prettiest!



Is this song not the most beautiful thing that has ever graced your ears? My God, the MV was beautiful and so was Nicole and it just shows how much her fluency in Japanese has grown too!

Here are other reasons as to why Nicole is awesome:
Reason 1, Reason 2, Reason 3, Reason 4, Reason 5

omg gurl let me be you
you're like the epitome of perf in my eyes ok

2. JESSICA JUNG
Totally different Jung. Not related to Nicole Jung.

Major girl crush on Jessica! I think she's absolutely stunning and I have yet to see one picture of her where she even looked the slightest unappealing. She literally is the Ice Princess since she's just so flawless! I really admire her singing and I love that her voice is so distinct from the rest of SNSD since it's high yet somewhat raspy?? I love her sense of style and if I ever were to have an amazing body like hers, I'd totally imitate her choice in clothes because it's gorgeous.

- but srsly guys look at that
I love that she can rock any hairstyle and she'd still look beautiful. I especially loved her hair during "Run Devil Run" days and all hairstyles after that especially during their promotions in Japan.

omg she looks so damn badass wat is this
Other reasons why Jessica Jung is awesome:
Reason 1, Reason 2, Reason 3, Reason 4, Reason 5

3. LINDA CHUNG
Linda Chung is one of my most favourite TVB actresses and I follow every drama that she's been in. I think she's one of the best actresses in the business but it's a shame that she has yet to win "Best Actress" since the roles she gets often don't shine as much as other actresses in the category. I love that she's Canadian so I feel like she's so real and she's one of us. I think she's an amazing singer too and she's one of the few Canto-pop singers I follow.


The scene in this video was basically Miss Koo (Linda Chung) finding out that her boyfriend was a complete fake. Her character had a rough childhood growing up and so she's learned to be completely cold to everyone she meets, thus the name Miss. Koo (Cool). However, throughout the series, she slowly falls in love with a teacher (that guy you see in the clip) and opens up so much to him only to find out that he was actually an undercover police officer who only dated her to get information for his case. She came back from the police station after giving her statement and was confronted by him at her door. Everyone praised Linda for this scene since she put so much emotion into it and you can only cry along with her when you see her sprawled on her living room floor bawling.



Basically, I think Linda is such an inspiration. She went into the industry when she was around 19, competing as a pageant queen contestant and won! Shes played roles where she was a doctor, a police officer, a spoiled brat, a girl suffering from depression, the servant of a princess, and she's just been amazing. She's also a singer and if I one day, miraculously, become an actress in TVB, I want to be like Linda.

4. BUBZBEAUTY/LINDY TSANG
This might seem a bit random compared to the last three who are idols... but I think Bubz is really awesome. While I think Nicole, Jessica, and Linda are all so pretty, I think Bubz is a bit different. Not to say that I think Bubz looks like a gremlin or something, but she's not what I would label as "holy-shit-she-looks-like-Megan Fox". She's more beautiful-on-the-inside. Even though I don't wear makeup, I still follow her Youtube channel and watch all her videos. I admire her for being so positive and I think she seems like a genuinely fun person. I love her life; I'd love to be popular on Youtube, have two adorable puppies, be so artistic whether it be with crafts, painting, or applying makeup, have such a loving fiance, and live in Hong Kong!


After watching that video, I teared up because I thought it was so cute, beautiful, and inspiring. She's so hardworking and I really wish I have the balls one day to do what she did.

The thing with Bubz is that I find her so much more real. With people like Nicole or Jessica, it's kind of like, "I think you're absolutely stunning but let's be realistic... the chances of be becoming a K-Pop star one day is less than 0.001% and the chances of be having a 20" waste is even lower" But with Bubz, I find that she makes everything seem so possible and you can totally achieve your goals just like her!

What's also a plus is that I love that she speaks Cantonese like me and so I feel like I can relate a lot more to her. Plus, we have a lot of similarities too! (Hey, I'm a human alarm clock too!)


5. MILEY CYRUS
Ok, so I basically grew up watching Hannah Montana, and so I've been a big fan of Miley since I was like 12 years old. While I don't think she's the best actress and I don't think she's the best singer, I will, however, still watch all her movies and I will listen to all her albums. I think she's an amazing performer and I love that she's the epitome of confidence and bad-ass. 

Miley is absolutely hilarious and I love her sense of humour. I love her fashion choices and I like that she's not the type who's all secretive. She's very open and straight-forward with a no-bullshit attitude and I totally admire that.




Two other reasons why Miley is bomb:
Reason 1: Her relationship with Ryan Seacrest always makes me laugh; then and now.
Reason 2: Her amazing confrontations with annoying paparazzi. Badass and assertive.

So much more but this post would never end. Bottom line is: I totally admire Miley's attitude and I think she's definitely one of the best artists.


So yeah. :)

Until next time! Peace x
