“Intrusive” New K-Pop Fanservice Trend Stirs Chaos In Fandoms

Recently, various types of K-Pop idol fanservice are gaining attention for all the wrong reasons.

5th Gen Idols Become “Pets” At Fansign, Triggers Heated Responses

However, a new type of fanservice is gaining popularity: idols are being asked to tweet on fan’s Twitter accounts.

I’m really Daewhi hehe please leave me a comment lol.

나 진짜 대휘에요 ㅎㅎ 댓글 달아줘요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The fan will then post proof of the moment it happened, sometimes by recording a video.

It really was our Daehwi!

If they are lucky, the idol might actually reply to the tweet confirming it was them, like AB6IX‘s Daehwi!

A fansite of Hearts2Hearts‘ Jiwoo asked her to sign in via a fansign and even got the notification to prove it.

While this new type of fanservice has become trendy, many are against it and felt like it was crossing a boundary.

• “Handing over an account is seriously too much.”
• “This is a bit too far..”
• “The comments on this are totally different from the fan sign item article that went up this morning.”
• “This is seriously bad.”
• “I don’t think much about asking them to do something during the fan sign or video call time after getting the phone… writing a post-it or that is fine… but asking them to do it later by giving them the ID and password is a bit much…”
• “Cliquish behavior is the shortcut to ruining a fandom’s atmosphere.”
• “They’re asking for all sorts of things.”
