The Daily Rant is a new feature where I will speak freely without bias (actually, not sure if that is possible in a rant) and honestly about issues in the Asian entertainment world. Today’s Daily Rant is: over-the-top fans.

There are so many different types of fans out there and one of those types is known as the over-the-top fans. These fans are on the borderline of delusion and reality and think that the idols they love belong to them. In order to seek attention, they cut themselves and write bloody letters from just about anything. They slice their wrists and necks to prove their loves to their idols and show that they’ll do anything for them. It’s really scary because not only are they hurting themselves, but said idols are probably unnerved by this all. Heck, I’d be too! Yes, these fans would be remembered but not in a pleasant way.

Then we have those fans who throw objects to make themselves remembered. Remember that fan who through that light board at Super Junior’s Heechul and scarred his beautiful face? That was not appreciated. What if that light board hit Heechul’s eye? He would’ve probably went blind. Yesung was also hit in the eye at a SS event because fans just try to throw stuff on stage to catch the attention of idols. And when idols aren’t paying attention to a certain area, they could be hurt. Over-the-top fans need to take a chill pill. Be respectful of your idols and don’t do anything that will endanger your life just to grab their attention. Chances are, do something like anything listed here and you may as well be looked down upon in the future by said favorite idols. I shudder at the thought of those bloody letters! Imagine how those idols feel when they hear about it.
