Greetings to all! This is EVS back with another tip on how to properly fangirl! Today's Tip is entitled "You Have Your Biases And So Does Everyone Else"
Most if not all K-pop fans worldwide have their favorite member(s) in a group. It could even be a solo artist that they adore.
The thing about K-pop groups is that there is a diverstiy among fans when it comes to having a bias or favorite in that group. A fan may comment "I like so&so!" while another fan could comment "I think such&such is the best!". Every now and then, fans will argue with each other about who has the better bias even though they are in the exact same group. This is not proper behavior for a fan of any group or artist.
If you are arguing with another member of your particular fan club about who has a better favorite, you are not displaying admirable qualities of your fan club. Who wants to be in a fan club where the members have cat fights and argue with each other?
It's time to accept that some people favor another member or singer rather than your own. It's foolish to believe that you are superior to another member of you fan club because you favor a member they do not. Everyone has their own reasons for loving a particular member or artist. They may see something in a member or artist that you don't and vice-versa.
When you start fights with your fellow fan club members, you shame your entire fan club. Your actions paint a negative image for you and the rest of your collegues. Accept that someone likes another member more than the one you like and move on. Only the fans can change a negative view of a fan club. Grow up and be that one!

Tip#1: Commenting on Performances and Songs
Hello everyone, EVS here with a tip on how to properly fangirl!
Today's tip is entitled "Commenting on Performances and Songs"
Now, I know some are looking at the title sideways thinking "Oh no this broad didn't!". Yes, I did go there. It's time that some people in fanclubs accept that no one is perfect; that includes your favorite idols. They all make mistakes.
When someone critiques or criticizes coreography or singing, this does not mean for you to get offended and call this person names. That is an immature mistake that most fans tend to make. Just because they do not agree that the singing or dancing was not all that great doesn't mean that you should resort to name-calling and the like.
It does not make someone a hater for speaking truthfully about how they felt a performance was. Fans are often so quick to turn on their own because one fan said something like "this wasn't so&so's best performance" or "so&so sounded a little off today". It's a small harmless critique and you should take it with a grain of salt. It doesn't make them any less of a fan than you because they don't think the performance was perfect and spoke up about it.
The biggest thing here is that, when it comes down to it, it's someone else's opinion. You don't have to agree with it. You don't have to believe it but, the least you can do is accept it for what it is, an opinion. Not everyone is going to agree with you and you are not going to agree with everyone. It's time to put aside the childish mentality that you are always correct and that no one else is.

Introduction and Welcome
Hello All!!! Welcome to my blog "Proper Fangirling"!!!
I am EvilValenStrife and I consider myself a calm, tame, and non-delusional fan of K-Pop. I pride myself on being able to view K-Pop as a genre of music and not just my life. I also consider myself to be able to critique some of my favorite K-Pop groups.
This blog will be about tips and rules for Fan Clubs of K-Pop that we can all follow and make our fandoms better. Many people may think that this is unnecessary but, I'll argue that it is quite necessary!
Many Fan Clubs are hated because of some of their fans. Some of the fans tend to be rude, over-protective, and anti-other people's opinion. I have been in K-Pop for a long time and I have seen countless examples of these traits. It has bothered me for a long time and I can't just sit and complain about it so, I've decided to do something about it. I know that I will not make the largest difference in the long-run but, I hope to make a better fandom for myself and others by providing helpful tips and advice to the masses.
This is the era of change. If you are tired of this mindless worshipping and rudeness, stand up and do something about it!
