Han Kyung of Super Junior becomes the next target for anti-fans

Infamous anti-fan communities from Korea has always created huge burdens to stars over the past years. One year ago, DONG BANG SHIN GI member U-KNOW YUNHO became a victim of the hurtful actions done by an anti-fan and it had created a shock within the entertainment industry. Now, these group of anti-fans announced that their next target will be HAN KYUNG of Korea's popular boy group SUPER JUNIOR. In Korea, Han Kyung had repeatedly been harassed by anti-fans, thus his company arranged him to have activities done in China to "escape" from the anti-fans. Unexpectedly, anti-fans chased Han Kyung all the way to China, causing him to suffer more pain. The escape aided him no protection at all.

Insane Actions to Create Trouble

According to a witness, Han Kyung, who has lately been in China doing activities, encountered a so-called fan that wanted to give him a gift during his ride back to the hotel after recording a television program. The fan's fluentless Chinese created doubts within the staff. When the fan gave them the present and cake, the fan requested to have a picture with the idol. The staff were afraid that Han Kyung would be harmed and politely rejected the fan, using Han Kyung being sick as an excuse. After Han Kyung's polite apology, the staff immediately brought him back to the hotel. As they got back, the staff opened the present together and discovered that inside the box contained small bags full of blood. There was also a sharp knife and a stabbed picture of Han Kyung. Han Kyung immediately understood that this was done by an anti-fan, and after several testings of the cake, it was concluded that the cake contained a nameless poisonous powder. The company wanted to keep the true reasons to Han Kyung's visit to China a secret and thus Han Kyung did not disclose anything to the media.

Because SM Entertainment wanted to break into the Chinese market, SM purposely added Han Kyung in Super Junior. Chinese fans became interested and strongly affected by this star, the first Chinese celebrity to debut in Korea. Although it is a good thing that Han Kyung is popular in Korea, the anti-fan socities are still extremely unhappy that he came to Korea to steal the native Korean stars' bowls of rice. To protect the power that native Korean artistes' have in Korea, they are developing plans to kick Han Kyung out of Korea. They created negative rumors of Han Kyung so the audience could become disappointed in him, pressuring him to leave Korea's market.

In the beginning of the year, an anti-fan pretended to be a fan and sent a letter to SM to explain about the fan's disappointment in Han Kyung. The company thought that this was really written by a fan and decided to shrink down Han Kyung's activities. This aroused strong opposition from Han Kyung's fans and a group of them surrounded the SM building and protested loudly: Fight down the anti-fan society. However, the company did nothing to prevent the anti-fans in action. The anti-fan society continued to make an effort to create a bad image for Han Kyung. Anti-fans pretended to be a Han Kyung fan so they could merge into the group of fans to create trouble and some managed to grab some information about Han Kyung's recent activities and schedules. According to an SM worker, during February of this year when Han Kyung's fans created a gathering to celebrate his birthday, an anti-fan managed to slip into the crowd and jumped onto the stage, fowl-mouthing Han Kyung and yelled at him to crawl back to China. Soon the security pulled him away and did a search within the fans. They discovered that a fan had a bottle of sufuric acid and after more searching they discovered that the bottle was just water that had some powder added. To prevent the news to become extremely widespread, this incident was kept a secret.

Afterwards, an anti-fan immediately reported complaints about the incident. The anti-fan did not mention anything about a bottle of sulfuric acid and how the anti-fan had publicly insulted Han Kyung. Instead, the anti-fan posted messages as a fan of the star and openly criticized Han Kyung's unfriendly behaviour and SM Entertainment's unfair treatments towards fan. For this, the company did not reply or gave any comment, and the incident was quickly forgotten. Unable to defeat Han Kyung, anti-fan socities approached a more hurtful act, and created negative rumors of Han Kyung being involved in trades of amphetamine drug injection needles and sent threatening letters to SM to blacken Han Kyung's image. Afterwards, Han Kyung took the volunteered action to test his urine to prove his innocence. Unfortunately, this incident has caused a dark shadow on Han Kyung's image.

Slash Shipping Creates War

Slash shipping fanfiction is what fans enjoy to write. To give passionate support to certain celebrities, they will often pair them up and create a romantic fiction. These fanfictions, however, always revolved around gay couples. Within Super Junior, Han Kyung and "princess" HEECHUL are one of the most popular couples due to their close relationship. Fans become enthusiastic and thrilled when they witness close interactions between the two, see them wearing "couple" clothes and also when they often exchange looks when they sing. There are numerous fanfictions about these two on the web. Both Han Kyung and Heechul are also two of the most popular members from the group.

"Slash shipping" is a promotion method by SM to make fans happy. Seeing that slash shipping is being warmly welcomed by fans, the company purposely allows the members to show their closeness in the public. Touching each other at concerts and giving surprises to the other person by jumping on him behind his back are often seen. If it's not jumping on each other, there will be secret kisses. When the two are happy together, the fans will automatically become happy. This is one method that SM has purposely allowed for more promotion.

Unfortunately, in the extremely conservative Korea, the audience feels extremely offensive towards Han Kyung's actions. Anti-fans attacked, posting negative messages on Han Kyung's website, saying that Han Kyung should return to China to raises horses instead along with other extremely hurtful comments. SM has locked the message board to prevent more messages for being submitted. However, anti-fans managed to release viruses into the website. During April, an anti-fan with the surname Lee sent Han Kyung some of his nude pictures and semen, causing Han Kyung to be extremely uncomfortable.

I feel that this article is being exaggerated. Oh well.
The incident of Han Kyung being chased by anti-fans IS TRUE, unfortunately.

wow this is crazy stuff. Anti-fans really have nothing better to do.

this is seriously wrong. shouldn't they be happy if new cultures are introduced into their country? the world is becoming globalised. these antis seem like they want to remain in the ice ages.. baffles me.

these anti-fans are quite disturbing. this is the first time i heard of such people who do such dangerous and harmful activities.

just curious.. y do these people do these kind of stuff anyway?

yeah I know. why WOULD people do these things? It doesn't make sense to fork out a bunch of your money to go to china just to hurt someone. These people need to get a life.

anti??

crazy....i think korea's anti-fans are mad...if u dun like the celebrity then jsut stay at home,why should u hurt ppl...and make watever anti-fan community...ridiculous

i think some of d stories are quite far-fetched.....but it is kinda true 2 a certain extent.....poor hankyung.....but yunho's incident was much more scary....d anti was totally evil.....but i think korean fans haf 2 let of abit....i mean koreans go 2 different countries and become stars there and even though there are antis....its not as exegerrated as dem.....i think dey seriously haf 2 let off a bit..........
