Block B at the center of another controversy, due to their fans

Block B, who earlier this year caused a firestorm of controversies due to their interview in Thailand, has once again found themselves at the center of yet another controversy, this time due to their fans.

The problem began on March 17th, when Block B held a fan signing event in a large bookstore in Suwon. As the fan signing event was underway, some fans took drastic measures in order to get a glimpse of their idols. A few fans climbed on top of bookshelves and tables, causing numerous books to fall off of these shelves and tables.

Furthermore, many of these books were damaged from being stepped on and a table was even reported to have been broken from the weight of the fans. These occurrences were uploaded live through various social networking sites. thus pictures were transmitted in real time to numerous online community boards.

Those who were present in the bookstore uploaded comments such as, “Even the security equipment is being broken by the fans“, “I think there are more than a hundred books that were damaged” , and “This is so rude to the normal customers who are there to buy books“.

As the controversy began to accelerate, some Block B fans took damage control into their own hands. Many of them criticized the destructive fans by saying, “Currently Block B’s company is losing trainees and Block B are busy with schedules, and your actions are making it more difficult for them.” Furthermore, some of the fans cleaned up the mess after the signing event and uploaded pictures of their cleaning online.

Some attributed the problem to the organizational failure of the event. The event was only supposed to host pre-selected fans, but the event drew fans from all over, causing there to be a lack of organization and management.

It’s good to see the fans reprimanding those who were unruly and helping clear things at at the end of the event.
