As an old K-pop fan this is a culture shock... Does this happen a lot?

However this certain fandom did something else: report Golden Child's music video on YT. I don't know for what purpose nor how it will affect Golden Child but they seem to be doing it to increase their chances of winning. Some are also commenting hate on Golden Child's MV (which is pretty counterproductive).

While it's unclear whether reporting the MV or commenting hate (lol) causes a rift with the YouTube views or not, the fact is that they're doing this out of malice.

I remember SF9 and ATEEZ had the Good Guy and Answer comebacks at the same time.
Fandoms went off at each other and the Good Guy MV got mass disliked.

 

But yeah, I feel like it's more and more the case, some toxic fans will, instead of pushing their faves up, try to bring others down.
