Chinese computer geeks have engaged in a full out cyberwar after Chinese Super Junior fans completely lost their minds on May 30 at the Shanghai Expo when a miscommunication about tickets rendered a fan driven stampede.

Not long ago on May 30, Super Junior was scheduled to perform at China’s Shanghai Expo. Korean media outlets stated 5,000 tickets would be available, including some reserved for Korean visitors. Chinese fanatics apparently missed that last detail and on the day of the show, a mere 2,500 tickets were available, outweighed by the 10,000 fans that actually arrived. Note, the tickets were free as long as you had purchased an entry ticket to the Shanghai Expo, so you can see why Chinese Suju fans didn’t want to miss out on the bargain. Yeah, and then this happened:

WELL, Chinese nationalist-‘netizens’ who are not fans of Korean pop culture and its followers (particularly Chinese Kpop fans) are ashamed and disturbed that Chinese people have become “braindead” and have immersed themselves completely in Kpop. So much so, that they’ve declared a war, if you will, after the Shanghai Expo stampede. World of Warcraft hackers (yeah…) have begun a Crusade of insane hacking. According to a Baidu (search engine) encyclopedia entry, the WOWers hacked Super Junior’s site on May 30, and on June 9 (hence ‘69 Crusade’) blasted countless Super Junior fan sites and forums in both China and Korea.

That ought’a knock ‘em back to their senses, right? Some Suju fans who are involved are calling for a counterattack, while others want a truce. As of Friday, this cyber war is reportedly still going.
