f(x) Sulli’s largest fan page shuts down after controversial tweets

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Jinnabit, the owner of f(x) Sulli‘s largest and only fan page, Sulli94.net, has decided to shut down her fan page resulting in netizens questioning her and supporting her.

Jinnabit is well-known among even non-Sulli fans and was the owner of one of the biggest Sulli fan pages. She was said to be personally close to Sulli and many considered her Sulli’s biggest fan. She has currently closed the fan page and stated her Twitter account will stay up until it becomes expired. Speculations are running wild as to why such a fan would suddenly turn her back on her idol. Netizen comments have mostly sided with Jinnabit, however, there were also hints of differing perspectives.

While some supported her shutting down the page, many f(x) fans were glad to see her leave the fandom as Jinnabit is known for being very extreme with rumors of her threatening and basically bullying any fans who dared to start up their own Sulli fan page. Therefore, she had risen as the top and only Sulli fan page despite the artist’s obvious popularity in K-pop, with the high majority of fan photos of Sulli taken and marked under Sulli94.net, or Jinnabit.

Rumors surrounding Jinnabit continue to say that while acting nicely towards the other f(x) members, she would later say terrible things about later on as in her eyes, Sulli was the best of them all. Word also spread that Jinnabit had been the one who had initially spread the rumor that Luna had a boyfriend as well.

No one can deny that last year was a rough year for f(x), as member Sulli took a hiatus almost immediately after f(x)’s “Red Light” promotions began. With the sudden hiatus of activities, fans were speculating why Sulli chose that path and if she would be returning to the spotlight once again in the future.

Recently, Sulli was spotted attending Amber‘s SBS Inkigayo stage. Prior to that she also made an appearance with fellow f(x) member Luna at the SMTOWN COEX Atrium.

But Sulli’s recent activities have garnered mixed responses. Now, it seems like another controversy has arisen as one of Sulli’s largest fan pages has closed down. This came to light around the same time as a series of potentially controversial tweets from the page’s owner, Jinnabit.

Below are some of the Twitter conversations between Jinnabit and netizens, followed by comments that were left on the original Korean source article on Pann (which has since been deleted), translated by Koreaboo.

Translator’s Note: Sulli94net is Jinnabit.

suncream92:@sulli94net happy fangirling to fan of the “lover.” Krystal fans are happy! Because she’s not a “lover” ㅎㅎ

sulli94net: @suncream92 I don’t ㅋ

suncream92: @sulli94net but you sell calendars?

sulli94net: @suncream92 I lost money on that ^^

minhochoi1209: @sulli94net I thought you, Jinnabit, would be the first to cheer and be happy when Sulli returned to f(x). Why are you being like this ㅠㅠㅠ It looks like Sulli has her act together now…

sulli94net: @minhochoi1209 You can cheer her on then~

sulli94net: Me, her, the rest of the fans, we all brought it on ourselves. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ stop sending me mentions on old news..your oppa is a good person so care for him a lot. If you keep sending me mentions, I feel like I have to reply~

sulli94net: You think I’ve lost interest in Sulli because of Choiza ㅋㅋIf that was the reason I would have stopped all of this a long time ago ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She shouldn’t have made me out to be a liar. I don’t want to be involved any longer so please stop. I didn’t talk about the fan page because I wanted to let it die quietly, no one can read or write on the page anymore.



sulli94net: If I talk more about this it would be like spitting on my own face and that’s why I’m just leaving this account to expire. Let’s just say I had a bad eye for people. I’m leaving this account for the legal case and I don’t want to be involved any longer. Some people tell me that I was acting like her maid ㅋㅋㅋ you really think I’m that type of a person ㅠㅠ



sulli94net: So please everyone stop~if it weren’t for someone pretending to be me I would have disappeared quietly ㅠㅠ The goods, I lost money on it anyway, so I spent my own money distributing because I didn’t want to waste what was already made. The fact that I have to capture proof even when I meet friends sadden me.



sulli94net: I am at fault for making the wrong judgement on who I took a liking to, so I expect some criticism but I’m going to take legal action if things get out of hand so please keep that in mind~ and do stop. I even liked her through all the harsh words and swearing I received from others. Don’t you think something must have happened for me to act like this ㅋㅋ I detest people now so stop.



sulli94net:  I have no regrets~I don’t understand why you all think you’ll get that special feeling from obsessing over her when she knows me better than any of you. I’m not a celebrity so you guys obsess over your celebrities and I’ll take care of myself.



sulli94net: @solana_sunny If Choi Jin Ri (Sulli) stays quiet all will be peaceful~

sm730599590: @sulli94net If you’re not going to say what Sulli did wrong to you just leave quietly ^^ Stop talking about things only you know. I don’t know why you’re trying to bring Sulli down even to the end.

sulli94net: @sm730599590 And I believe I wasn’t the only one that was wronged ㅋㅋ

sm730599590: @sulli94net If you’re not going to say what Sulli did wrong to you just leave quietly ^^ Stop talking about things only you know. I don’t know why you’re trying to bring Sulli down even to the end.

sulli94net: @sm730599590 You should recognize where you stand if you really want to help Sulli ㅋㅋㅋㅋ why are you trying provoke me ㅋㅋ what would you do if I went and talked to a reporter. You started this by pretending to be me.

The comments on the original source article on Nate Pann (now deleted) mostly sided with Jinnabit, however, there were a few that expressed differing perspectives. A few comments are pasted and translated below.

1. [+ 258, – 7] I never liked Jinnabit before but I understand what she’s feeling. I don’t want Sulli to be criticized for what she did so I won’t talk in details, but Jinnabit, being 10 years older than Sulli, wasn’t just an unni or a fan but liked Sulli almost as if she was her own child. Ever since she was a little 16 year old kid to now when she is 22.. f(x) fans probably know what I’m talking about. I realized she was more than just a fan when she even found someone to get Sulli her birthdays down the road in case something happens to her. So don’t criticize her too much. She might have done some damage to Sulli but I can guarantee such a loyal fan as Jinnabit will never appear again.

2. [+ 247, – 5] I don’t really care about Sulli but even I know Jinnabit..She’s a top tier fan..She’s one of a kind..I don’t think there will ever be such a fan of Sulli ever again.

3. [+ 228, – 7] Even if there’s a new fan page for Sulli, I don’t think it will be even close to what Jinnabit had. I checked out the new page and the photos were pretty bad. Sulli you lost a real fan.

5. [+55, -0] A lot of Sulli fans are happy about Jinnabit leaving because she was so extreme but you have to admit that there’s not one Sulli picture out there without her logo on it. 90% of the pictures that non-fans have seen of Sulli are from Jinnabit… She lost a huge fan.

Pann: Sulli's homepage master left the fandom ㅋㅋㅋ

Even people not in the f(x) fandom know the famous 'Jinnabit' fansite master. She closed the fansite and is super famous for being close to Sulli and her biggest personal fan.

1. [+114, -2] I never had a good impression of Jinnabit before but I understand her decision to leave. She says that she's not going to say what Sulli did to her in case it gets Sulli more hate but Jinnabit is 10 years older than Sulli, she wasn't just your average fan. She loved Sulli like she was her own child and watched her mature from 16 to 22 years old... f(x) fans will know that Jinnabit didn't just like Sulli as an idol. I realized that she wasn't just your average fan when she said that she already had flowers and cakes reserved to be sent for Sulli when she turns 60 years old in case she herself is dead by then.... It's true that her leaving the fandom will get Sulli more hate but I assure you that there will never be another fan who loved her as much as she did.

2. [+107, -3] Even if Sulli gets new fansites, there will never be another one that did as much as Jinnabit did. Sulli lost a real fan.

3. [+100, -2] Even I know Jinnabit and I don't know much about Sulli or their fandom... She was really one of the top fansites, there will probably never be another one like her.

4. [+66, -0] There's really no one that knows Sulli better than Jinnabit ㅋㅋㅋ Jinnabit probably has more information on Sulli than anyone and could take it to the journalists if she wanted to considering her past six years with her.

5. [+55, -0] A lot of Sulli fans are happy about Jinnabit leaving because she was so extreme but you have to admit that there's not one Sulli picture out there without her logo on it. 90% of the pictures that non-fans have seen of Sulli are from Jinnabit... She lost a huge fan.

6. [+52, -0] Like the best replies said, Jinnabit and Sulli are close to the point where they've always kept in contact with each other. No fan could live up to Jinnabit's Sulli shields and fan presents. She seriously looked after Sulli like she was her own daughter. Sulli clearly did something wrong to her for her to leave the fandom like this; even while leaving, she makes sure that Sulli doesn't get any hate and says she's taking the burden on herself... that explains it all, doesn't it?

7. [+49, -1] Sulli asked Jinnabit to make Choiza an ID for him... so that he can see her pretty pictures.
- "[+25, -0] Jinnabit is a super hard site to get into and she asked her to make Choiza his own ID... ㅋㅋ"

8. [+48, -1] Sulli asking Jinnabit to make Choiza an ID is probably the tip of the iceberg... there's probably more to it, but at least Jinnabit is being decent/respect and not revealing the rest.

9. [+42, -0] Hul daebak, I have no interest in SM at all but even I knew Jinnabit. Can't believe she's leaving.

10. [+37, -0] Wow... Amazing that she's just going to keep everything she knows about Sulli to herself.. If she ever met with a journalist, Sulli would be instantly trending at #1 search ranks..

K-pop fansite owners are crazy

[cooliosa.livejournal.com]

the amount of tea this girl must have on sulli damn rip

[iskerplunk.livejournal.com]

ikr, like damn. run sulli run!
the way netizen #1 described jinnabit's adoration for sulli was almost creepy tbh

[torontok.livejournal.com]

From all accounts this woman was a manipulative, bullying creep so bye I guess.SM should buy her silence if they can

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

idk what the actual issue is but i've heard some nasty things about the fansite owner apparently she bullied every other sulli fansite down or something.

the entitlement of some fansites though, it's ridic.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

I read on OH that she flipped because Sulli attended Amber music show recording without letting her know and acknowledged other fans through her private Instagram while ignoring her ass. It seems like she try to put her on distance, but chick is obviously mental and Sulli should hire personal bodyguard asap.

[hyemint.livejournal.com]

this person just seems creepy... good riddance, probably.

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

Good riddance. This fansite owner is incredibly manipulative and she bullied all the other sulli fansites into closing down, which is why sulli thinks she's unpopular (since there only appeared to be one). And she bashes on the other f(x) members as well. Hopefully with her gone there will be other nicer fansites taking her place.

And apparently the reason she closed is because sulli's been using her (private?) instagram to go around to comment/reply to various fans and sulli94 got jelly and pissed af.

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

good riddance, nobody's going to miss you

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

why didnt anyone think to tell sulli this stuff about her biggest fansite lmao

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

But wouldn't other fansites/fans have contacted her with complaints? Or wouldn't at least her managers/handlers investigate why an idol as popular as her only one fansite?

It's hard to believe she honestly thought she was unpopular and was unaware of Jinnabit's cray cray.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

you'd think she'd look at jinnabits twitter once in a while though

Re: The reason Jinnabit is upset is...

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

good lord i knew about 10% of that rania fan shit and already thought they were a real piece of shit

Re: The reason Jinnabit is upset is...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_pinkfish/]

Wait what's the Ruk/Jooyi thing? Been out of the fandom lately sorry >

Re: The reason Jinnabit is upset is...

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Whaaaaat? This woman is too grown to be behaving like that. She sounds a tad unstable so maybe it's good she's now out of Sulli's life...

Re: The reason Jinnabit is upset is...

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

The sad thing about the Ranian stan is that she sounds so sane when you read her posts on FB; I found her FB when I was searching for the new members and all her comments sounded so normal, like her claiming that she was allowed to post the track and then was told she couldn't, and how she doesn't like one of the new members because she was put in the group by the manager solely because they're friends in a kind of extended nepotism, but that she was growing to like the other member because she's cute. She also complained about how we were never told about Jooyi's situation and it's unfair on fans to lie about her status (and Riko too).
She always sounded really normal, and I had no idea that she was actually that crazy. It sucks!

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

maybe now she can finally get some more fansites

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

WTF. The site owner is cray cray especially at the part of making other sulli fansite to close so that she can manipulate sulli into thinking she has lesser fans than the rest of fx members.

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

so where is the proof that fansite owner is as horrible as some of you say?

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

that girl is batshit crazy, good riddance tbh

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

And these knetz comments are precisely why sasaeng culture continues to flourish...they know this fansite was a psychopath and are calling her ceasing to stalk Sulli and bully her fans a sad event *smh*

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

Fansite masters can be crazy.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Jinnabit, being 10 years older than Sulli, wasn’t just an unni or a fan but liked Sulli almost as if she was her own child.

You real sure those were motherly feelings?

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Yeah ita with all of this.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

ia

We love all the pics and news, but on the other hand these ppl are usually glorified stalkers. I mean, in cases like JYJ where fans handled business situations for them (iirc) that's great, awesome, wonderful...but then the entitlement that comes along with that can be so very scary.

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

You don't need antis when you have this kind of fans.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Scary

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

There's just one thing I'm curious about: This psycho is always going around threatening to sue everybody, just because other people took pics of Sulli and talked shit about her...Can she actually do that?

Stay away from other idols, especially my fave, Kthnxs.

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

"I realized that she wasn't just your average fan when she said that she already had flowers and cakes reserved to be sent for Sulli when she turns 60 years old in case she herself is dead by then...."

do you want to know what am i obsessed with these days? with this:
http://youtu.be/oB4K0scMysc
enjoy!

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

meh i don't know what to believe because i have heard terrible things about this person as well but i also heard that she quietly sued everyone who spread those rumors soooooo.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Wow what a mess.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

This is all quite disturbing and now I'm worried about Sulli tbh.

[ginger-star.livejournal.com]

I was watching the Selena movie just the other day and thats all I can think about while reading this >_> This crazy, over-attached bitch needs to get out and stay out.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

D:

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

fansite owners are scary, but at the same time, we still reblog their pictures, and fans still buy their calendars etc. So I don't really feel like I can criticize

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

So she's criticizing Sulli's maturity, yet she's on Twitter teasing about tea she has. If Sulli is 22, that means you're 32, way too old to be acting a mess like this. Seek help.

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

Despite all her efforts she has put into being a fan and giving Sulli a lot of love and presents....
It will never be more than the amount of Damage she's causing.
Blackmailing other Sulli fansites so that hers can be the only one?! If you want Sulli to be more successful, you wouldn't try to restrict the growth of her individual fandom.

Not only that, but to diss other members of Fx...please. Try to think of the awkward situation you put on Sulli. She wouldn't want to hear her #1 fan is dissing and hating on her co-workers. You think making her apologize for you to her co-workers (fx members and other idols) is cool?

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

Things like this make me fortunate that the groups I'm a part of are small but positive.

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

byeeeeeeeeeeee, we didnt need you to start off tbh now she'll have more fansites

[p-jae.livejournal.com]

Korean fan culture is fascinating.
