Recently, one of the major music awards ceremonies in Korea - Melon Music Awards (MMA) 2024 took place at inspire Arena in Incheon, Seoul, to honor Kpop's achievements of the year.
Amidst the performances of the artists and the awards ceremony, an impressive scene attracted attention. Hundreds of fans sitting near the stage raised their professional cameras with large telephoto lenses, highlighting the passionate and devoted fan base of Kpop fans.
A post on the online community theqoo that attracted 117,000 views commented: "The photo is a bit creepy. They are taking pictures of their idols.
According to the audience's explanation, these are all big fans of Kpop artists, they are the ones who run famous fan websites or fanpages, called fansites. The head of the fansite calls him master.
The Master fansite always provides high-quality photos of idols on stage, because they use professional cameras and spend a lot of money to get a good position near the stage.
Even fansite photos are considered to be of better quality than press photos and event organizers' photos. Because dedicated fans will not miss precious moments of their idols.
Some opinions say that people who come to awards ceremonies or music nights just to take photos of their idols will not really enjoy anything, and will also affect others when carrying large cameras.
On the contrary, other opinions say that the organizers intentionally arranged the fansites in the same place, so it will not affect the experience of others.
In addition, at events, if there is no violation of regulations, whether or not to wear a camera is each person's right.
hard-working Kpop fans are often the ones who are willing to spend a lot on their idols, so they can completely enjoy basic benefits, even some privileges from artist management companies.
