Actress Ahn Eun Jin has expressed her thoughts on "stanning" in the K-pop community.
On the January 6th episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Brothers,' actress Ahn Eun Jin made a guest appearance along with actor Nam Goong Min. During the segment, Ahn Eun Jin was asked to play the game of 'This or That.' One of the questions was if she would talk with her bias Hanni for 10 minutes or get a ticket to a highly popular concert of NewJeans.
She chose to go to a 2-hour long concert and then shared, "You shouldn't meet your bias. This is because stanning someone means that you like someone including your idea of that person so if you get to meet or know them in person, you are going to realize they are also just another human under the same sky."
Now you know why some fans are adamant their idols would never do this or do that, “it can’t be him/her”, “he/she is just young”, “other idols do it too”… the denial goes on.
Because they have a mental imagery of that idol (skilfully crafted by the agency), and breaking it would fracture this fantasy they thrive on.
