Fans of Korean pop group Monsta X made global protest

https://trendyup2date.blogspot.com/2019/11/fans-of-korean-pop-group-monsta-x-made.htmlFans of Monsta X are really suffering after Wonho's exit from Monsta X.

Fans organized a sit-in outside of the Starship Entertainment building, with banners with Wonho’s face and a message of support were put up on lampposts up and down the street.

Aside from urging Starship Entertainment to keep Wonho in the group and encourage them to bring justice to his current situation, the protests also served as an opportunity for Monbebes to find hope and support in each other, as well as provide strength as they go on with their fight.

Monsta X has a wide and international fan base, especially after signing with American label Epic Records earlier this year, which means that oftentimes their international fans are at odds with the more socially conservative South Korean fans.

Aspects of South Korean culture, including the importance of public image and reputation, often come at the cost of a favourite performer losing the spotlight, sometimes being booted from their group or even landing in jail.

Intense online scrutiny and bullying of anyone seen disrupting South Korean social norms, or buckling under the pressure of maintaining a certain image have had fatal consequence in the past -- with several instances of kpop idols dying by suicide after suffering systemic online abuse due to their appearance, values or other supposed faux pas.
