... they are all wearing matching blue dungarees and white t-shirts because they are DORKS.
Hyunjin just slapped Hannie hard on the thigh and Hannie yelped and everyone ignored them.
I.N is wearing a collar?? hard to tell, it looks quite fine for a collar so it might just be a choker. But he's enjoying fiddling with it.
I love all of these boys.

Group selfie from #Seungmin on bubble
(Btw it's been 10 days since the airport incident that pissed off #BangChan so much that he deleted his bubble profile pic, and he hasn't posted anything since then.)

@TheOtherDibbler the members were passing through an airport together and some 'fans' behaved badly. Members got jostled and pushed around by people attempting to get closer to them.
I can't say for sure exactly what happened. Partly because it's hard to tell from the footage. Partly because I don't want to rewatch the footage, knowing that most or all of it was recorded by people who were contributing to the shitshow in the first place.
Bang Chan is a passionate and sometimes ferocious person when it comes to protecting his team. He'd already posted some stuff in February about hating people (except for skz and stay (skz fandom)). Didn't say why at the time, and I don't know what that was about either, but I guess it was something to do with their company (JYPE).
It seems like stay might have been removed from the list of exceptions.
I guess he will get over it at some point. TBH his thinking about fans seems to be somewhat all-or-nothing, treating 'stay' as though its a hivemind or single entity. (I don't know if that's genuinely what he thinks -- I'm only guessing based on the stuff that he chooses to share.)
There are all kinds of fans, some are arseholes, some are angels, most are a mixture of good and bad, just like people in general.
I don't envy him (or any other celebrity) when it comes to having fans. Because so many fans act like entitled pricks, and treat their supposed idols like performing monkeys or robots. I guess that most fans are *not* entitled pricks. But the more respectful and well-mannered fans are not the ones who get their idols' attention by being inappropriate and pushy.

@lookitmychicken I literally only know about these guys because of your posts, but now I'm curious. What happened at an airport?
Chicken :cqlgusu:
✂️ #Seungmin needs someone to choke him again. Choking himself is not nearly as much fun.

@TheOtherDibbler Yeah 100% agree.
If the entitled fan behaviour is just directed at Bang Chan himself, he seems to tolerate it more than I think he should. He doesn't always take very good care of himself. (I wish he would, and it's fairly obvious that the skz members wish that too.)
He's way more likely to get pissed off when he perceives any threat or poor treatment directed at the other skz members.
I guess a lot of people are like that, though?? Way more likely to get angry and fierce when the people we love are treated badly, more so than when the bad behaviour is directed at us personally.
TheOtherDibbler
@lookitmychicken Thanks for the explanation, that was pretty much what I was guessing it must have been. I have seen WAY too many so-called 'fans' being pushy, entitled and rude, and treating their idols like their own personal playthings instead of real people. It's such sickening behaviour. I can understand an idol getting defensive and pulling back in the face of that kind of treatment.

@lookitmychicken (what did happen at the airport? I wasn't going to give the yt equivalent of gossip rags clicks...)

Is "cheers mate" the new "that's very noice"/"that's not very noice"?
If so, excellent.
I am thinking of making some #skzFriendshipBracelets for a US friend to give to other fans when they go to the skz concert in their city, and I want to make some with whatever ridiculous catchphrase has caught skz's attention at the moment.
There will definitely be at least one SKRRR.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@TheOtherDibbler maybe?
to be honest, I think the people who are thoughtless and/or mean to other people are more likely to be selfish and self-centered. therefore more likely to take offence and throw hands when a slight is directed at themselves than when it's directed at someone they care about.
I have no idea if this is true or fair. I didn't even realise that I had this opinion until I wrote it down. I am very willing to be wrong about this.
TheOtherDibbler
@lookitmychicken Yeah, I think a lot of people are like that, more likely to let things slide when it just affects themselves but ready to throw hands if it affects someone they care about.
I wonder sometimes if that might be a useful angle to take when trying to get people to be more polite to each other online (and offline). Instead of trying the empathy angle of "If you'd be upset to have this said/done to you, don't say/do it to others" go with "If you'd get mad about someone saying/doing this to your bestie, don't say/do it to someone else". I think at least some people would stop and think about their words and actions more if they framed them that way. I don't know if it would make a real difference though.
