Throughout the past few days in mid-July, the Korean entertainment industry has been extremely lively, and search terms related to the Black Sea and fan conflicts have long dominated Naver's search head, and the Internet is full of discussion, sympathy, indignation, indifference, and schadenfreude.

The next blockbuster news is the gradual rise of TVXQ, which was hit hard by fans, and Cassiopeia, which has grown to nearly 200,000 people, was split!

In addition to the official club managed by SM Corporation, one of the three large fanclubs in Cassiopeia has been completely disbanded, community services have been shut down, and tens of thousands of members have become headless flies overnight. The other two are also on the verge of collapse, and the community is filled with a lot of questioning voices, and the management is difficult to deal with, and even the internal divisions themselves.

All of this stems from the news broadcast by MBC on the night of the 10th, and after the news, a group of angry fans slaughtered the version.

The Cassiopeia who experienced that night still remember the bright red that filled their eyes when they opened the official club and opened the community related to Cassiopeia:

"TVXQ!, where were you when Ahn Joon-hyuk stepped up to stop the violence, to protect his fans, and even to protect Cassiopeia?"

"We don't ask you to really apologize, but why don't you stand up for it?"

To borrow a sentence from "Mencius", the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart, and the king regards his ministers as grass mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies...... Get started today. I'm no longer a Cassiopeia!"

"Liars !!"

Never underestimate how much power a group of disappointed admirers can explode when they turn their former love into anger and hatred, and after a few days, even if SM Company did its best to remedy it, a press conference was held early the next morning, and Lee so-man and all five TVXQ attended, led by captain Jung Yoon-ho, TVXQ bowed in front of all the media cameras and begged fans to forgive them for their misconduct.

However, the effect of such a remedy is quite limited. Just a few days. The huge fan base has shrunk by a quarter, especially the official clubs, with more than 40,000 people applying to leave, and a large part of these withdrawals may not be able to give up for the time being. Won't leave immediately. But if TVXQ can't give them a satisfactory answer......

Between fans and ANTI. Usually it's just a thin line!

Such a fan withdrawal incident, the regular media will not report more, but as long as the Internet is accessed. The news can be heard anywhere, and people are surprised that Ahn Joon-hyuk's fans, who were supposed to rejoice at the chaos in Cassiopeia, have been extremely calm lately.

In other words, they don't seem to pay attention to everything in the outside world anymore, several large fanclubs have gradually become deserted after July 10, and other communities rarely see their active figures anymore.

They seem to be quietly making some changes.

But unlike this somewhat strange silence, Ahn Junhyuk's number of fans has skyrocketed in just a few days.

Someone who is interested investigated the number of registered fans of the official club before and after the incident, and found that in just a few days, the number of new registrations exceeded 50,000, and it is still growing at a steady rate.

The official club doesn't have the function of turning off visitors' browsing, but if someone clicks into a few pages to check, they will inevitably find that there is no discussion about the July 10 incident in it, and even these days, there are basically no new topics, only a post marked as July 11, which is lonely on the front page.

The ID of the post is called "Youzhen"!

"Let us remember this moment, remember the man who was unyielding in the dark!"

There wasn't much text in the post, just pictures, the dark playground, the small but tenacious red, the figure roaring under the pillar of light on that stage, and the audio of the song "To All Who Know My Name" that has been heard everywhere in recent days.

These pictures were all taken from MBC's news, and unlike the video shown at the time, they deliberately highlighted the darkness of the fiery sea, bringing no longer loneliness and pity, but setting off the heroism of the sea of fire as it shook.

"Youzhen" wrote at the end of the article:

He came, he stood there, and he made us call his name!

He is our hero!

……

This post, which was widely reprinted by major portals, as early as the time after the MBC evening news was broadcast, the debate in various communities on the Internet about the incident between Black Sea and fans, who is responsible, gradually died down.

Ahn Joon-hyuk's performance left the opponents speechless, the supporters were silent when they saw the scenes in the video, and the neutrals became wavering, all digesting the impact of those images, until Nate was the first to publish a commentary titled "Violent Reappearance - Heroic Reappearance".

"Violence in the entertainment industry is not uncommon, far away in the United States, the hippie vs. Beatles debate, the rock vs. punk debate, and even John Lennon, who died at the hands of fans in the 80s. Nearby, there is also the fight between the fans of the four kings of Hong Kong at the end of the last century, and the confrontation between the fans of Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam...... The violence in the entertainment industry has never disappeared from us, sometimes unfortunate things happen, sometimes it seems to be far away from us, the difference is that in the past years, violence has not grown on our soil, of course, now all this is a thing ......of the past"

“…… I can't imagine how sad and frightened I was when I learned about what happened at my dream concert. As a musician and a singer, I can understand how devastating and painful it can be when I stand on the stage and the lights are turned off in all directions...... But these are not the reasons for the violence, the causes and consequences of the incident have been sorted out on the Internet, and I will not repeat them here, TVXQ, Rain, Bao'er's fans are at fault, and Ahn Junhyuk's fans are also at fault, but fortunately, they still have a good idol......"

“…… If Ahn Joon-hyuk hadn't stopped it in time, no one would have dared to say what kind of disaster would have been caused when the fans' emotions erupted, and whether it would have left a painful aftermath like the events I mentioned above...... Over the years, I have always believed that the reason why a star is a star is not because of the scenery in front of his camera, but because his words and deeds will have an impact on this society and will make fans scramble to follow suit, I am very gratified, when the violence in the entertainment industry finally breeds in our soil, we have a person who dares to stand up, stop the conflict, and take responsibility, although he is injured and bleeding, but his character and image have played an exemplary role......"

"I apologize to Ahn Joon-hyuk for some misunderstandings, even though he didn't know about it...... I want to tell him: when you turn your back on your own fans and protect other people's fans, you are a hero!"

The language of this review is a bit confusing, and from a professional point of view, the reviewer does not even grasp the focus, but the commenter's signature is impossible to ignore.

Xu Taizhi!

The man who once single-handedly supported the entire Korean music industry, until now, KPOP's style can't get rid of his influence, he is a myth in the Korean entertainment industry!

Since the release of the album last year, he has been absent from South Korea, and many people don't understand why he suddenly praised Ahn Joon-hyuk so publicly on Nate. However, the media will not think so much, and after this comment, many media outlets also became stupid, contacting everywhere, hoping to interview Ahn Junhyuk.

But since the morning of July 11, the entrusted agent released the news to the outside world that he had woken up, Ahn Junhyuk has not appeared again, and when he called SM and the agent, the other party only said that Ahn Junhyuk needed to recuperate and would not accept any interviews for the time being.

However, although it is a little disgraced to not find the main owner, it does not hinder the hype of the media, and it is no longer as decent as the previous report, and most of the media began to stand on Ahn Junhyuk's side clearly.

"Eliminate a catastrophe - when the blood on his forehead flows, are you moved by him?" - The front page of Naver Entertainment published a photo of Ahn Joon-hyuk sitting on the ground, his face covered in blood, and the clear red color under the light was shocking!

"A true idol lies in the impact of morality and image on society! He is not only the idol of ordinary fans, but also the idol of all celebrities, his pale face is not weak, but the strength to dare to take responsibility!" - Daum published a screenshot of Ahn Joon-hyuk being carried into an ambulance, and in a close-up, his bleeding face was clearly captured.

Stimulated by such large-scale reports and praises, "Memory", which had been off the shelves for 2 months, once again became the best-selling record in July, and "My Name is Kim Sam Shun", which is still on the air, has also seen its ratings climb steadily, and a week and a half after the incident, the 16-episode finale of "Kim Sam Shun" ended perfectly with a breakthrough 57% of the national ratings!

This brilliant achievement, apparently after Ahn Junhyuk's current many reputations, added a shining medal, when the next day the data of the two major statistical agencies AGB and TNS came out, all the media frantically reprinted it, even the "Chosun Ilbo", which has never cared much about the entertainment industry, also gave a headline on the front page this time.

And unlike usual, this report no longer focuses on Kim Xuan'er, who performed "Kim Sam-soon" perfectly, but Ahn Jun-hyuk.

When people open the newspaper, they will see the picture on the front page, which is a magnificent sports field, the light is lit up in the corners in all directions, and in the center of the stage, a figure raises his hands and faces the sea of light.

He was born again in the darkness! He rose to the top in the light! )
