Barack Oppama 5,738 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 i think fandom names make the relationship between fans and the artist/group closer like when you hear ur favs saying "hey sones" you would feel way recognized than "hey snsd fans!!"

Ddeona Oneul Bame 61,625 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm an EXO fan... I'm a 2NE1 fan... I'm a SHINee fan... Etc... Yeah, I def prefer fan names~ Gives some identity and flavor, tbh~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP4EVER 2,297 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I like the fan names, because other K-poppers or anyone else can tell what bands you like... It also give the fans some sort of identity. We can also feel that we are part of that band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D a n t e 1,723 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Because without specific fan names we can't start fanwars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 U Need Connoisseur 6,671 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's a fandom name.. It represent your fandom. They have it in everything not just kpop or pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antyways 459 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think they're fun and cute, but some are just downright embarrassing. One of my favorite and collest sounding stan names imo is the beyhive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccolo's girlfriend 7,439 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 its fun and it helps you feel like you fit in with the community better i guess i cannot @ some people who say they stan the group but aren't a -insert fandom name- (ex. i love bts but im not an army!!!) . how do u think the group would feel to see u denounce the fandom name and everyone in it? rude AF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedVelvetTrash 484 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't take them seriously they're just for fun. But I cringe when you associate with a fandom that has a certain rep that ruins the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaeng_ 382 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 imagine if our favs call our name one by one... "hi John..." "hi George..." "is that you david?" etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintat 4,072 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm okay with it, I guess I'm neutral about it unless the fandom name is embarrasing or I dislike it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeokdae 3,324 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 the idea of fandom names is ok, just saying "fan" is boring in comparison. it's the actual names that are sometimes stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪CANVAS♪ 610 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 i cannot @ some people who say they stan the group but aren't a -insert fandom name- (ex. i love bts but im not an army!!!) . how do u think the group would feel to see u denounce the fandom name and everyone in it? rude AFI think there's a difference between being a fan of the group and being someone who likes them, so I can understand people who say 'i like/love x but i'm not (fan name)!' Because to me being a (fan name) means someone who properly follows the group and their updates, interacts with the fandom etc. Meanwhile people who like the group might just check out their new releases but not care about their appearances on shows, individual schedules etc. (For example, I like gfriend's music, but I wouldn't say I was part of the fandom because I don't pay that much attention to them outside of when they drop tracks and probably couldn't tell you the names of members that aren't sinb/yuju/umji off the top of my head.)
