f(x) fans raging at SM Entertainment over Red Velvet’s official fanclub name

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

f(x) fans are absolutely outraged after it was revealed that rookie girl group Red Velvet would be gaining their official fanclub name soon.

On March 17th, a representative of Red Velvet’s fanclub posted a notice on the girl group’s official website to announce they are currently recruiting for a local supporting team and that the official fanclub name will be announced soon. The news also reached f(x) fans, who reacted negatively to the news.

SM Entertainment houses many popular idols and artists under their agency, including Kangta, BoA, TVXQ, TRAX, Super Junior, SHINee, f(x), EXO, Red Velvet, and more.

Red Velvet fans will be appointed an official fanclub name only seven months after the rookie girl group’s debut in August 2014. Similarly, EXO received an official fanclub name (EXO-L) just last year in August 2014, a little over two years after their own debut in April 2012 with “MAMA.”

On the other hand, f(x) — who debuted in September 2009 with “La CHA TA” — has yet to be given a fanclub name as they near their 6th debut anniversary.

Much of the anger seem to be directed at SM Entertainment, who manages all of the groups mentioned above, blaming the agency for blatantly ignoring f(x) for other rookie groups.

f(x) had their first comeback as a group in July 2014 with their 3rd studio album Red Light. After a little over two weeks of promotions, f(x) halted their activities following the sudden hiatus of member Sulli — citing the malicious rumors surrounding her were taking a toll on her — and since then, each of the members have been following their own activities

.➜ “Why bash Red Velvet for getting a fandom name.. it’s the company’s doing not them. All these comments on their video is sad.”

➜ “Good to hear Red Velvet about to get their fandom name but where is f(x) fancom name at?!?”

➜ “SM just constantly upsets and confuses everyone lately. A random new member of Red Velvet. A fandom name for Red Velvet but no fandom name for f(x) still?? No new EXO teaser/music video?? To all my fellow SM stans, you guys are all strong for going through all the controversy, fanwars, and problems that SM causes.”

➜ “What? Fanclub? Before f(x)!!! It’s not a joke SM…f(x) fans don’t accept it,” “Why don’t you just reveal both f(x)’s and Red Velvet’s fandom names so you can make everyone happy and save Red Velvet a lot of hate, how hard can that be?”

➜ “Red Velvet is gonna get a fandom name? While f(x) is still hidden in the shadows.”

➜ “It hasn’t been a year yet and Red Velvet will be getting a fandom name soon. It’s been six years already and f(x) is still nameless.”

➜ “I love Red Velvet and all, but I find it ridiculous how they have a fandom name faster than f(x).”

➜ “The first thing I thought of when they said the were gonna announce the fandom name for red velvet was what about f(x).”

➜ “Red Velvet’s fandom name is f(x).”

➜ “I love Red Velvet but honestly, f(x) deserves that fandom name more than them.”

➜ “So Red Velvet has a fandom name coming before f(x)… it’s been 6 years and it took EXO 2 years. What next, a solo tour?”

➜ “I’m a Red Velvet fan and I’m happy we’re getting a fan name but I am a hard core f(x) fan and we still don’t have a fandom name.”

➜ “Almost all Red Velvet stans agree that SM is unfair and prefer f(x) to have fandom name first before theirs.”

➜ “f(x) should have a fandom name before Red Velvet!!! Shame on you!!!”

really bored of people pitting these two groups against each other

The misplaced hostility is literally the only thing I haven't been able to comprehend since RV debuted and the only reason I lose sympathy.

giving fx a fanclub name at this point would just give their fans false hope about not disbanding

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

[sets pitchforks on fire and hands them to f(x) stans]

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

and literally no one in the f(x) fandom is surprised by this.

Amen to that!

sm is saying bye f(x)licia basically

still waiting for that blue w*ffle subunit

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

bye f(x)licia
omg cackling.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

this is just NOT good. First they debut this group on the heels of everything going down with f(x) then the title track that sounds like a pinocchio-era reject and now this?! What kind've 'single korean girl group' teas?!

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Okay I cackled at the end reference LOL

[donutism.livejournal.com]

LOL is anyone surprised?

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

do f(x) fans have an unofficial name for themselves? after 6 years i would think something would catch on. if it became widespread the company would probably just go with it

anyway i hope RV's is something cute, like cupcakes, or motorhomes

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

i thought it was aff(x)tions or something, or maybe that's just the forum name

the company never does remember there was "exotics" but (thankfully) SM shut that down quick

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

when are they going to fire whoever is running this company like it's literally one bad thing after another with them

[chenetic.livejournal.com]

for some reason I just assumed SM already quietly disbanded f(x) ..

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

i'm not even gonna judge f(x) fans because i KNO if it were a group i stanned for, i would be LIVID.

it's NOT just about fanclub names, it sends a message to fans and to the public that SM dont give two shits about f(x) and that's pretty fucked up.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

honestly, SM not giving a fuck about f(x) is an old ass message.

[cooliosa.livejournal.com]

honestly i think f(x) should just disband they would all be better off as solos at this point #justiceforluna

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

I understand the frustration from fx fans about the fanclub name but it's fucking annoying evertime ppl go "this song/concept is f(x)" like srsly fuck off

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

sigh

[olive-101.livejournal.com]

i knew this would be an issue when i saw that RV is getting a fanclub name.

f(x) has never been SM's fav and tbh, it just feels like they silently disbanded. i doubt they'll have another comeback (anytime soon at least) so there's sort of no point for a fanclub name now

[pinkwingsblack.livejournal.com]

ugh, f(x) is forever the red headed stepchild. either treat them right or officially disband them ... which imo will happen soon. contract renewal time and i don't think that'll actually happen for everyone in the group.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

even if i like RV i feel so upset over f(x) after being a fan of theirs since lachata. i don't think they'll get a name after this backlash but ugh sm is so shitty with this.

And this is why I can't get with red velvet this time, cause everything about this comeback imo screams goodbye f(x)

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

I'm as sick of these fandoms fighting as I am with Sones vs Blackjacks. Jfc. Can SM just stop? Is it really that hard to come up with a name for f(x)'s fans and just settle all of this? Honestly. This is one of the reasons YG's rookies have significantly less problematic debuts.

[dubukat.livejournal.com]

seriously though, wtf is sm doing NOT Giving f(x) a fan name by now? A couple of YEARS ago it already seemed like a slap in the face

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I'm just done, SM's treatment of f(x) and EXO-M pretty much solidified my resolve to never stan another one of their groups.It's bullshit how blatant they are about not giving a shit.
Maybe f(x) fans should protest outside the building and purchase 0.7% of stocks or something lol
