诠释歌迷文化:EXO成员免除兵役请愿是否“粉丝”所为?
这只是个谣言,还是说真的是粉丝们为EXO成员的兵役免除进行了请愿?
10月29日,一个关于SM娱乐公司旗下EXO组合的粉丝们为偶像发起“韩国政府应免除EXO成员的兵役”的请愿活动的谣言渐渐浮现。结果是在韩国歌迷社区内引起了反EXO的感情倾向。即使根据EXO Planet,一个EXO的粉丝组织所说,这个请愿书只是由一个人发起的,这个人也成功的再次点燃正在持续的对于EXO粉丝们的争议。
EXO的粉丝自从2013年起就不断的出现在新闻头条里。大多数粉丝组织通过他们的慈善活动引起媒体的关注,例如以大米花圈形式捐赠大量米,或者给需要的人带来经济援助。而对于EXO,很不幸的是,大多数的媒体都将关注直接放在私生饭上。这些私生饭对待EXO和其他粉丝的行为已经成为了K-Pop史上绝无仅有的过分典范。是什么令EXO的粉丝团和其他的粉丝团在此不同?
在韩国和日本,官方粉丝俱乐部是K-Pop产业的关键要素,因为这能够帮助艺人和娱乐公司带来可观的利益。也许在1960年美国的市场营销中,粉丝俱乐部的概念听上去十分稚嫩且过时;在今天这种音乐项目一直受到非法下载和现场表演的票价持续高升的情况下,粉丝俱乐部却是令K-Pop持续在全球经济内蒸蒸日上的至关重要的一部分。这个现象在韩剧《请回答1997》中得到最好的记录。在本片中,主要角色们帮助带领了在韩国最大的粉丝俱乐部。
与同是SM娱乐公司旗下标志性的组合Super Junior,少女时代,SHINee和TVXQ不同的是,EXO至今还没有签署一个官方的粉丝俱乐部。官方俱乐部的会费一般约在10万韩元左右,可令官方俱乐部雇佣管理或者管理机构。缺乏官方性存在意味着,对于粉丝们来说没有任何管理团体可言。这也许听起来没有什么,但实际上却是EXO部分粉丝在过去一年中总因为错误的原因频频出现在报纸标题中的要素。
在2013年5月,一则网路视频证实了一起谣言。这个视频中,显示计划观看EXO在《M!Countdown》中演出的国际粉丝受到了多种形式的不公平待遇。从澳大利亚和美国这样遥远的地方前去观看的粉丝们开始在社交媒体上抱怨称,由于某些EXO粉丝的错误,导致他们被拒绝进入《M!Countdown》现场。Mnet官方否认知晓此事件。
随后在夏季,EXO粉丝被禁止参加SBS《人气歌谣》的现场录制。《人气歌谣》的制作人声明EXO粉丝们持续进行一群乱麻毫无控制的行为,例如用粉丝标志作为武器,将EXO组合从工作室追到大街上,而且拒绝遵守由SBS定下的规则。SBS也说明,在不少情况下,甚至需要叫来警方维持秩序。
在这些活动之后,诸如粉丝们将组合的名字和logo刻在身体上的自残照片多了起来。在9月份,粉丝闯入了成员伯贤哥哥的婚礼典礼,本该是支持的行为几乎变成了暴乱。在本月初,TAO通过微博表达了对于私生饭的不满。
作为对这项充满争议的网上请愿活动,EXO Planet发表声明,否认了此项由某个人开始的请愿活动。有着超过10万名注册会员的EXO Planet是最接近作为EXO官方粉丝俱乐部的存在。这项声明是一直以来EXO Planet发表的最强势的声明,声明内威胁到,如果这项针对EXO的请愿和负面陈述继续下去的话,会采取有效的法律措施。伴随着慢慢增加的负面引力,SM娱乐公司会签署属于EXO的官方俱乐部来帮助让粉丝社区更加和谐吗?私生饭究竟是真正的粉丝,还是伪装成粉丝的黑粉呢?
Exploring Fandom: Did EXO Fans Begin APetition Calling For The Group To Receive Military Exemption?
Is this just a rumor or did fans really askfor military exemption?On October 29th, rumors began to emergethat fans of SM Entertainment's EXO had started an online petition requestingthat the Korean government exempt EXO from having to serve their mandatorymilitary term. The result was an outpouring of anti-EXO sentiment within theKorean fan community. Even if the petition were started by one individual,which is the claim of fan group, EXO Planet, this individual was successful inreigniting the on-going debate regarding EXO fans.EXO fans have repeatedly made headlinesduring 2013. Most fan groups receive media attention for their philanthropicworks such as donating tons of rice, in the form of rice wreaths, or assistingwith financial aid for the needy. In the case of EXO, most media attention hasunfortunately been directed at the actions of saesang fans, whose treatment ofthe band itself and other fans, have become examples of some of the mostexcessive actions in K-Pop history. What is it that separates EXOs fans fromfans of other groups?In South Korea and Japan, official fanclubs are a key component of the K-Pop industry, helping to generate revenuefor the artists and entertainment agencies. While the concept of fan clubs maysound juvenile or an antiquated part of 1960s marketing in America, they are anessential part of what keeps K-Pop thriving in a global economy where music hasbeen undercut by illegal downloading and rising ticket costs for liveperformances. The phenomena is best chronicled in the Korean drama Reply 1997in which one of the main characters helps to lead one of the largest fan clubsin Korea.As opposed to SM Entertainment label matesSuper Junior, Girls Generation, SHINee, and TVXQ, EXO has yet to endorse anofficial fan club. Membership dues for official groups that average at 10,000Korean won, allow official fan clubs to hire management or governing bodies.The lack of an official entity means there is no governing body for the fans.While this sounds insignificant, it is a key part of why EXO fans have made theheadlines for the wrong reasons, this past year.In May 2013, rumors which weresubstantiated by video posted online, showed international K-Pop fans who wereattempting to see EXO perform on the popular program M! Countdown receivevarious forms of mistreatment. Fans who had traveled from countries as far awayas Australia and the United States, began to post complaints on social mediathat they were denied entrance to M! Countdown in a situation that wasprecipitated by EXO fans. Officials at Mnet, the network which hosts M!Countdown disavowed knowledge of the incident.Later in the summer, EXO fans were bannedfrom attending live tapings of SBS' Inkigayo. Producers of Inkigayo stated thatEXO fans had engaged in general mob behavior, such as using fan signs asweapons, chasing the group through the studio to the streets, and refusing tofollow the rules assigned by SBS. The network also noted that the police werecalled on numerous occasions.Subsequent to these activities, there wasan increase in photos of fans engaging in self mutilation such as carving thename and logo on the band into their bodies. In September, fans disrupted thewedding ceremony of member Baekhyun's older brother, when what was intended asa crowd of support became almost riotous. Earlier this month, Tao expressed hisanger and displeasure at saesang fans through his Weibo account.In response to the controversy surroundingthe online petition, EXO Planet issued a statement renouncing the actions ofwhatever individuals began the petition. With 100,000 registered fans, EXOPlanet is the closest thing to an official fan club for EXO. This statement isstrongest from EXO Planet, in which they threaten legal action if the petitionsand negative statements towards EXO continue. With increasing negativeattention, will SM Entertainment designate an official club for EXO, helping tocreate more harmony with in the community? Are saesang fans true fans or arethey nothing more than anti fans, in disguise?
所以身为EXO的粉丝,第一好好学习,第二好好做事,第三好好做人。在必要情况下,最大程度上把对偶像的爱放到第二位,因为粉丝行为偶像买单;再想见面,当场都要成为最守规矩的粉丝。无论任何情况下,首先考虑的是EXO的名誉和安全,每做一件事,说一句话,有都要慎重考虑。还有赶紧开个官方俱乐部吧,有些人真的不是粉丝+不配做粉丝。明明做出的事都那么自私可耻,还没有人能管得了他。
