Several rumors have been circulating online between fans of B1A4 (called ‘Banas’) and Dal Shabet (known as ‘Darlings’). The severity of the most recent rumors has crossed the line, causing police officials to intervene.
The rivalry between the fandoms can be traced back to “2011 SBS Gayo Daejun," during which B1A4 and Dal Shabet had shared a special stage. But the choreography called for body contact between the members, and it has caused fans to become upset. From this criticism and hate spawned speculative rumors. In one such rumor, a Darling was accused of physically assaulting a Bana. While another claimed Dal Shabet's Serri had blatantly rejected a B1A4 member who extended his hand in a friendly greeting.
The rumors only worsened after the “Idol Star Athletics Championships” took place. The online community boards were swamped as fans posted several claims stating that Darlings had assaulted Banas and had even, allegedly, raped and kidnapped the opposing fans.
The rumors spread like wildfire causing the police to get involved. Police officials revealed to Star News, “There weren’t any disturbances or crimes committed during the ‘Idol Star Athletic Championships. There was nothing out of the ordinary that occurred, nor were there any reports of such behavior.”
Happy Face Entertainment commented on the matter, “The hateful rumors have caused much pain to the Dal Shabet members. We hope that the spread of these false rumors will end.”
Serri even used Twitter to respond to the rumors, “I am writing to say how deeply upset I am at the horrible rumors being spread about me. Please stop spreading these lies, they are not true. Please stop haunting celebrities with these harmful rumors.”
Dal Shabet and B1A4’s agencies have come to an agreement to not let these rumors affect themselves or their relationship.

Date: 2012-01-09 03:37 pm (UTC)"Serri made a post three days ago saying she was officially sick of what Bana's were doing to her. K-Bana's began harassing her even more and threatened to kill her."
"K-Bana's began spreading rumors that K-Darlings were kidnapping, murdering and raping Pink Panda's and Bana's."
"These rumors went on for nine hours as K-Bana's left over 8,000 threatening and derogatory on Serri's me2day page."
"A petition that reached 2,000 signatures was made demanding Serri apologize to B1A4 and every person who attended the event."
Some K-banas are cray. Lesson of the day: don't body roll w/oppa

Very disappointed in K-BANAs.

Date: 2012-01-09 03:41 pm (UTC)Also, is this presuming that many of the Darlings are male? Somehow I don't see there being that many male BANAs. Not to say they don't exist, because of course they do.

I mean...ugh! This made me so disappointed earlier when I read it on akp. :(
It was a fun joint stage and I really don't get why BANAS/DARLINGS are going crazy over it.

Date: 2012-01-09 04:03 pm (UTC)I just wish people would stop grouping fandoms as a whole when these things happen. One or two bad eggs does not mean the whole lot is spoiled. And I know most people understand that, and don't mean to say a whole fandom is insane, but it still kinda sucks to see that when you are one of the sane fans.
I just hope B1A4 and Dal Shabet can move past this, and so can their fans, and hopefully they will both have successful comebacks.

Date: 2012-01-09 04:17 pm (UTC)If there's one thing I could never stand about KPop fandoms as a whole it's the damn possessiveness fans feel over their idols. Don't they have something better to do with their lives then spending it hating some group for dancing with their precious oppars? And death threats? Really? KPop fandom, your crazy stans are crazy.

No love,
Me.
