Hello, recently I read a lot about that whole EXO/SJ thing and you seem like a person who knows something about it and I'm an ELF too but I wanted to ask if you possibly know if TVXQ has the same problems?

Something like this in Korea is happening:

'You know , there were some fans who stood in front of SM Building and waiting for the boys , what made us, ELF hurted is we cant sit infront of the building same goes to other fans like (TVXQ , SNSD and SHINEE) , we just can sit around 200 metre from the place and most of us just wait at the coffee shops nearby the building .. one of TVXQ fans wanted to give their boys a gift and hand it to one of SM staff but being rejected.

BUT ! an exo fans can give any gifts to their boys without being rejected and all the sunbae fans of the sunbae groups being looked down by them . There were some Exo fans called us as older ahjuma and ahjussi , we can just go die with our old idols .. T_T and so many heartless words being thrown to us . Honestly , nowadays fans of Super Junior and TVXQ are hardly breath in our own country , these fans of rookies group really made us heartbroken’

So I assume that TVXQ fans is also experiencing some problems with rookie fans..

I don’t hate EXO I just quoted what a K-ELF said.

My Comment:

I love EXO but I am not an EXOTIC.

There is something about their fans (not all of them though) that are ultimately disrespectful and plain mean.

Sure EXO is the IN thing right now. But somewhere in the future with fans having no respect for other fandoms, they easily become the target of the same treatment when a new rookie group is formed or becomes famous.

I have never heard of an ELF being in the headlines for ruining a private event for SUJU (the issue with Baekhyun's brother's wedding remember) (or the news of a fan that tapped the gaming of the EXO members?, even as to go far as put a camera in their bathrooms?).

I have never heard of an ELF calling other fandoms old and should die with their idols. Sure we protect our boys but I have never heard of an ELF (maybe I'm just naive or haven't heard anything) say that to an EXOTIC to be honest.

Lastly, I have never heard of an ELF that puts down other idols. (If there is then there are few of them I am sure).

Suju became an example for ELFs by leting ELFs see how they respect other idols. They are even close with EXO (whom whose fans I am sure are hurting them.)

What we as ELFs see our SUJU-oppas do we also take notice and follow their example.

So, for the mean EXOTICs that are putting ELFs down and our Oppa's down well, I hope that what your actions do or say won't reflect what your idols actions and words as well.

I heard a fan-fic author mention that "Fans are reflections of their idols." If you're bashing and putting opther people down not just fans then I am not sure you are worthy to be called a real fan by your idols.

As for SM's special treatment with EXO's fans... there is nothing I can do about it but hope that this won't go on. I hope that all SM artists one day will be treated fairly. I hate FanWars and I am praying that these issues with EXOTICS and other (not just ELFs) but other fandoms will eventually be settled. Let's respect one another and be supportive of each other's biases and Idols. There is nothing to benefit with feelings of hate.

I really didn't want to comment on this since it's Christmas and almost New Year. I don't want to start the new year with feelings of hate and frustrations. I want to have a peaceful New Year. But... when I read this post I had to say something.

To anyone that was offended by this I am so sorry but I will not regret my posting this. 

Just because you follow your idol around, talk trash about other fandoms and putting othe idols down DOES NOT MAKE YOU THEIR FAN. It's the complete opposite.

To end this post all I want to say is SAY NO TO FANWARS! LET US SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER IN LOVING OUR IDOLS!

Peace!
