How far will die-hard fans go to keep their fantasies real? On June 5th, Lee Eun Ji, a middle schooler who lost 40kg in 3 months committed suicide. As in most suicide cases, the exact causes are unknown, but according to friends, the poor girl was tortured by Elves or SuJu fans after the picture she took with Kang In after a variety show Star King circulated online. Not only did they harassed the girl online, but these die-hard fans also found out her cell-phone number and left her horrifying message, which inevitably pushed her over to the edge.
What’s the big deal about taking a picture with one of the members? These celebs take pictures with hundreds of people, so why pick on this girl who worked so hard to loose the weight because it was her grandmother’s dying wish? When will die-hard fans realize that nobody will be understanding or forgiving of their irrational behaviors because they do it in name of love or is this just too much to ask?
Rest in peace Lee Eun Ji.
Poor girl. The elves and some 5% crazy fans od Dbsk should have their mind right on their place. Dbsk and Suju I think never make anything that make a fan crazy, yet the fan become insane because of them?
aww that hella sucks.
Wow, i admire her very much cause she had all that determination to loose weight.
then lost her life just bc of stupid fans?
wow..these fanz girls are hella scary.
i think SuJu should do something about their crazyasskiller fanz….
oh my gosh! f*ck those crazy fans..this makes me angry.. the hell do they think there doing! asshole! dont they realize that what they have is already OBSESSION!! my gosh.. go to hell stupid fans..err. hate u!
The world has always been about Survival of the fittest, people might think it’s an old saying and still happening only in the jungle. But it has’nt Change that much! If you would listen to all your detractor, your life would be miserable. Don’t let others decide or dictate who or what you are. You are who you think you are. No matter how many mistakes or scandal you’ve been through. Stand up and learn from you’re mistakes, and go on with you’re life. In the end you will answer to only one person and that is God.
To all the people who think about suicide Be strong!.
The world won’t stop turning even at your tragic death.
i do agree with you
hope more people will thought of it
Beside God, the first person you should love is your self. If you don’t else will.
Beside God, the first person you should love is your self. If you don’t who else will.
Serious, why aren’t these people institutionalized? The nerves they have. I suggest that those “fans” all get mental evaluations. They’re a bunch of pathetic cowards who can only bully in masses while hiding behind their computer screens. You don’t have to directly cause something in order to be responsible. They attributed to her despair and I can only hope that this will torment their conscience (if it existed in the first place) and eat at their souls. Another way to describe them is a bunch of delusional control-freaks. Get real and get a life.
awww…!!! sad! i hope she rest in peace! stupid super junior (not those who is involved) who cause her to die!
that is really unfurtunate.. and why would she kill her self.? suicide is definitly not the right choice. she could’ve stay quiet and not accepting any text msg/comments for a while. why commit suicide when you didnt do anything harm to other people. and those elves, what the hell are they thingking, i think maybe they’re jealous bcoz she took some pictures with the suju… those people really get into my nerves, they should know where they stand. i hope they werent able to sleep for the whole month from what they did to the innocent gurl..
oh no…am a suju fan..and wats worse is—5th of june is my brhtday!
^ That is really freaky
bcuz it happend on ur birthday
i’m a super junior fan myself but not to the extent that i would kill someone for them. that’s really ridiculous!
and no offense, but what i have observed with koreans, i mean those who go ga-ga over their idols, they’re so much obsessed with them. it’s like, they would do anything just to be with their idols: they could steal, lie or even kill someone just for them. this is a quite disturbing fact that needs immediate action.
OK.
here’s my thing:
yes, i admit that the elfs really did a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad thing and they should be ashamed of their selves.
but it’s not like EVERY elf is a killer, you know.
for instance: me&probably a lot others.
you’re making it sound like everybody that’s an elf is going to murder somebody or make somebody kill themselves.
um, NOT TRUE.
i admit, the elfs need to apologize, which by the way: they did, and they should be ASHAMED of themselves, but no need to call elfs in general about them being murderous. NOT ALL OF THEM OF ARE LIKE THAT.
& i don’t really get that girl.
why would she kill herself because of bad comments?
it’s fine to be a suju fan, but why would you associate with such a horrible organization? maybe not ALL elfs are so horrible, but hopefully the good ones would distance themselves from the others by… making a new fanclub for non-rabids?
it makes no sense to identify yourself with a title that has become so terribly offensive.
The fact that you’re expressing disbelief over why this girl would commit suicide is incredibly insensitive and unbelievable. It’s also hypocritical, because you’re demanding that everyone understand that not all ELFs are psychotic murderers, yet you cannot comprehend why this girl chose to do what she did, and you’re dismissing her as if she’s some sort of weak idiot. Have you lived her life? If these fans really had found out her phone number and other personal information, they probably harrassed her CONSTANTLY, uttering horrible insults and probably telling her to die. Could YOU live with that?
how dare SuJU fans did that…. the girl is already fantastic to loose weight becoz of SuJu…it is a fantastic thing…i cant lose weight bcoz of anyonelse…she did it
ugh.
i hate “ELFs”
with a passion.
I hate them too.
if this story isnt true then i just hope that that poor girl can find peace. but if it is true all those people who tortured this poor girl over a damn picture with a hott guy are all just jeolous and stupid idiots and should burn in hell and take responsability for this poor girls death and im sure you have done nothing but probably made poor kangin feel responsible. and you all suck. i love superjunior. but u retarted fans who shouldnt be allowed to call themselves that get a hold of yourself you freaken phycos!!!! superjunior rules! si-won i love you, you rock!
Rest in peace Lee Eun Ji.
agreed!
lol. this is ridiculous isnt it? why the girl must suicide? she can dont cant about what suju fans are talking.and popseoul,stop writing these ridiculous article about suju. what you wanna prove huh? want everybody to hate suju or want suju everybody to think that suju’s fans are violent or vulgar? seriously i dont know what the girl is doing,just because of this kind of matters and go kill herself? thats foolish-.-
ANW,rest in peace
by the way,if this thing was done by suju fans.they are ought to be responsible for it.
okay firstly; those
die-hard fans need to know that
one day, suju will all get married…
and they dont’ even know you exist…
i feel so bad for her…after all that HARD
work…gosh…take a lesson Elves…you guys
aren’t gonna come torture me are you?
oh my gosh!
i feel bad for her! especially her grandmother!
i heard she lost weight becuz its the dying wish of her grandma!
now she’ll die of a broken heart!
to all those mega diehard fans-think about what you guys did, imagine if you were in that poor girls shoes…
my condolences to her family……
to other “E.L.Fs” who think that poor girl was foolish and dumb for committing suicide after hearing the comments:
THAT’S BECAUSE YOU GUYS DON’T KNOW HOW “POWERFUL” AND “CRAZY” KOREAN FANS ARE.
THEY ARE SO THAT EVEN THE GOVERNMENT CANT HANDLE THE SITUATION.
AND SERIOUSLY,”E.L.Fs” ARE THE CRAZIEST FANS.
don’t blame that girl please.
THIS IS SERIOUSLY BAD!!!!!!!!! Y WOULD ANYONE WANT HER TO COMMIT SUICIDE!!!!! MAKES NO SENSE AND THAT IS NOT EVEN A REAL PHOTO AND IF U SAW THE STAR KING WOTH SUJU T AND WHEN LEETEUK WANTED TO SHOW THEM HIS AIR BLOWED HIGH HEELS THAT GRL WHO WAS I THINK 90 KG AND THE WAS 25 KG THE FANS WERE SOOOO MAD THAT SHE WAS DOING A STUPID DANCE WITH KAGIN BUT KAGIN WASNT DOING THE DANCE BUT THE GRL WAS SOOO AFTER THE SHOW SHE KILLED HER SELF JUST BECAUSE THE FANS SENT DEATH NOTES TO HER!!!!!
AND DID U HEAR IF GO TO YOUTUBE.COM AND THEN TYPE IN DBSK FIRST LOVE THEAT GRL JIHYUN I THINK WAS SUPPOSED TO KIS MICKEY YOOCHUN RITE? AND THEN ONE OF DBSK’S FANS SENT HER A DEATH NOTE SAYING IF SHE KISSED MICKEY YOOCHUN THEN SHE WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING REALLY BAS TO HER MAYBE EVEN KILL HER!!!!!!!!!!
SO SHE SHOWED TO THE PRODUCER AND HE SAID DNT BELIEVE IT THEN WHILE THEY WERE REHERSING THE KISSED HIM ON THE CHEEK AND THEN ANOTHER DEATH NOTE SAYING IF SHE KISSED HIM ONCE MORE THEN SHE WAS GOING TO KILL HER FOR LIFE. THEN SHE DIDNT KISS MICKEY YOOCHUN. I MEAN Y WOULD THAT FAN EVEN WANT TO KILLA CELEBRATY!!!!!! STUPID FANS!!!!!!!! NOW IN KOREA THERE ARE MORE ANTI-FANS THEN JUST REGULAR FANS!!!!!!! IT CRAZY
Reading about this again recently….
I don’t think all of the ELF are bad. I feel that some ELF would probably turn their faces in shame about something like this. At the same time, the recent events with the protesting scares me.
The treatment the two new members are receiving is incredibly sad, and I’m worried for the both of them. I’m hoping they won’t be pushed to this level, because both of them appear to be highly sensitive. Zhou Mi, in particular, seems so eager, and I’ve read multiple sources that state Henry would go backstage in tears after the chants during his performances.
Lee Eun Ji, that poor girl, she shouldn’t have committed suicide. Taking her own life… that’s too much! anyway, there’s one thing we can do for her… Pray.
Rest in Peace!
Lee Eun Ji
That’s what ELF does best.
..i think suicide is not the solution for it..
…hmmm, for SuJu elves, i advice them not to be sooo obssesed to the point that they want their fantasies to be real and keep hurting other fans too…
^___^
OMG!!! wat da heck!!! ish wrong wid them… god there soooo mean… i wanna kick ass now!!! god if i ever see dem god one of them would totally get it!!!!
why did they do that thing?????oohhh thats horrible…poor girll…
Well, I’m a SuJu fans and I’m not a Korean, neither do I live in Korea..
I have watched so many blogs and forums about those nuts fans or even antifans…they really make me think that those Korean fans are absolutaly STUPID and UNREALISTIC.
Plus, they make me sick with the actress or actor that they hate..
actually…Korean antifans forums DO MAKE ME BELIEVE that most of all Korean’s actress/tor are plastic.
So please stop it.
You all stupid fans, you just make your idol image fall down in international community..!
What the hell? It was true?
Korean fans are really really unbelievable and nonsense!!
They just fall down the celebrity’s popularity!
Kang In, poor you and your fan who’d died for you..
I thought she was unbelievable too..
Why she must suicide? (-.-)
oh my…. that is very sad..
Why cant crazy fans just photoshop themselves next to a Suju member?
It’s an old case but i juzz want to leave sum comment anw^^
XD
imma suju fan..
But,shame on u ppl who caused her death..
Im not blamin ppl who think they’re part of ELF, but just shame on ELFes who being so mean to that girl..
Anw, ppl say anti-suju r so mean
but ELF r mean as well..
XD
OMG, i wish sum day i can take a pict with suju or one of it’s member..Then i’ll publish it all over the net.. lol then I want to c ELF reactions.. XD .. so challenging..
Its fine if they didnt make a song for her cos 100% their fault but at least they all(or some) should came to her funeral or came to that girl’s parents to say sorry..
I can understand if sum ppl say she died bcos of her extreme diet or cos of her boyfrind left her..But, in my opinion ELFs is the reason of her death..
Wat the heck they think they r..
In the end they juzz apologise through the net..
Do u think ur apologize statement on the net can PAY her LIFE????
even tho its sounds so mean but i prefer to let all the fan who torture her to die..
They juzz a COWARD,PSYCHO FAN,CRAZY FAN,LOOSER,etc..
XD dun forget, Imma suju fan as well.Im so crazy about them but i wouldn’t done sth shameful like that.And if sum1 or fan took a pict with them I’ll feel satisfied cos he/she got such a luck to take a pict with them..
Rest In Peace, Lee Eun Ji ^^
this is the very reason why it took me a long long time to check out suju. im scared of their fans. some of them are so obsessed to the point of delusion it’s scary! some act as if they own the boys. if some girl gets too close to them they (fans,some of them)would harass/scare that certain person.
i like suju but..some of their fans are really really scary.
i feel really sad for her, it was very hard to go through what she did then he was emotionally and mentally tortured by psycho people.
i guess they were just jealous.
and i dont believe they would do that
I Hate them
Do u Know Wat the date is when this girl came out
star king
I know its been a year since this story came out.
0.0 WTH? Crazy fans. I’m a big fan of Suju but seriously what were they thinking? If they really love Suju, they should support them in whatever good things the members are doing. Stop fantasizing that the boys will be yours. As if they’re things that the crazy fans could take claim.
Now look what had u done crazy Suju fans, you ruined the reputation of ELFs and the international fans.
Aigoo~
Wow. These fans give the sane fans a bad name =[
wtf ELF?! nutcases! i seriously hate those kind of extreme fans. like when i watched Quiz Expedition and some of the female contestants had the chance to hug their male idols, and then the female spectators were all like “NONONONONO YOU CAN’T!”. bloody hell…
LOL ,
korean people was always stress and commit suicide ,
duhhhh ,
can’t they be more tougher ,
be more positive ,
Ahhhh…I hate it when some fans like them go overboard with situations… Poor Girl…RIP…!!!
haay… i guess the reason why the rumor that SUJU members aren’t welcome in the philippines by mostly of Filipinos anti-fan is because of the ELVES negative actions… so as to say that the Filipinos are generalizing that koreans are ’strong-mannered’people(however one wish to interpret that)
personally i think that the elves are getting so worked up in attacking co-fans because they took a picture with the members… where is the logic in that??? You are considered family because you adore the same group of people, shouldn’t that build friendship among you all?
And personally i think koreans had rude personally… yes they have standards on how to show respect to elders but, those who knows these kinds of things are considered ‘two-faced’ people or weak for giving in to elders… and yes korean artists are respectful, but that is because they should portray that kind of personality and only those who have studied those ethics knows about ‘respect’… doesn’t that sound like koreans are lowlife standards???
i read about korean’s traits from a book, and it explains that most koreans are being misunderstood for being rude but the truth is they are just patriotic… they may appear snobbish to other races but never fail to greet fellow koreans when sighted in other countries… but reading about the article about how fans attack fellow fans, and really you won’t hear these kinds of news elsewhere… only in korea… where’s the patriotism in that… i feel sad and i pity those people who have lost there sanity because they idolize those artists so much.. and maybe it could be reflected from koreas growing number of atheist…
i do love korean idol groups and i don’t single them out, it is called ‘appreciating individual talents’… there is really no need for anti-suju or to any aother group… it shows how insecure you are to other people’s talents and attention… haay…
my heart really breaks right now… don’t be too narrow-minded please, it would reflect that you are a person with low-I.Q., haay…ok, annyong!!!
agreed
All I want to know is how do you get that off to actually send threats notes to a little children like that. That girl is young. She is like a middle schooler. I mean that girl is young. She probably didn’t know what to do when all of those overly obsess fans target her like that. All that hit that girl hard. She feel all sad, because of all those pointless hate notes. All the people whom was a part of that should feel ashamed and should get in trouble. That is so wrong to cause someone to commited suicide, because you got issues and need to learn how to behave.
omg,,pity her..
these fans are too obsess with suju..i think as fans,we should support them fully and be happy for other fans that are lucky enough to meet them..they shouldnt threat other fan just because of a photo..
come on people,the artist are also human..if these crazy fan keeps doing these,i wonder how they would react when knowing their idol is getting married or something..
rest in peace,,lee eun ji~~
rest in peace for lee eun ji.
and for ELF, please stay away from they-who-takes-picture-with-suju-member! don’t treat them like that.
i am suju fans myself, but please, don’t make the word ‘ELF’ is become taboo to be said.
as a fan, we should feel happy to eun ji, not treating her like that.
i feel so sorry to Suju whose fan are like this. T.T
Just a thought…crazy fans all around the world are really like that. They attack other fans either emotionally or physically or both because they are jealous and they want their idols just for themselves. They think that all other fans who do not conform to their standards should be eliminated.
As a recent example, take note of the crazy fans of Twilight. Search the net and read all about the crazy fans of Twilight and the crazy haters of Twilight.
It’s really simple…these crazy fans are psychologically unstable damaged people. They cannot live in reality. Most are psychopaths so don’t expect them to feel guilty when they want someone to “disappear”.
Words can hurt a lot. Yes it could lead to a very very bad downfall.
You would NEVER KNOW what it’s like to have people attack you with words alone unless you experienced it. Ignoring them doesn’t help or change anything. It only makes it worse.
The worse part is that people will make slanderous lies about you in the internet and you would have no control about it even if it’s not true.
I know because I’m a very strong person but I met a group of people who are really bad. Years have passed, I’ve recovered even from the lung sickness I got being slandered for years by them. But until now, they wouldn’t stop spreading lies about me even if I ignore them.
I also know other people who suffer from being attacked via the Internet.
Cyber-bullying is really damaging. More damaging than physical bullying.
As I’ve said, you will never know what it’s like until you experienced it. Crazy fans are really scary. You have no idea what they will do to you.
This world’s younger generation is such a waste. The youth are so superficial and seemingly without manners…lest conscience left. Their fandom is their air and water and you will suffer if you dare try to get into their fandom.
That’s what we call, “obsessive”.
haiz…
those ELFs think they are fans.. frm wat i can say is..NO..
i mean.. look wat dey have done
