Fans are in disarray over fan page accounts of SHINee’s Jonghyun and SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo
A fan page dedicated to SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo received criticisms as it was accused of taking the same fan page owned by SHINee’s Jonghyun’s fans.
On November 3rd, a number of tweets posted by SHINee’s Jonghyun’s fan page “GUILTY PLEASURE” highlighted an issue where another page of the same name was made for SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo.
The original fan page name of “GUILTY PLEASURE” reached out to the administrator of Wonwoo’s fan page saying, “I’ve been running my fan page for 5 years with affection. It took a lot of consideration to contact you. Please consider it once more.”
The fan page dedicated to Wonwoo then explained that the account was mainly created to share pictures and revealed that it was only launched as the name suited the singer.
The rest of the conversation mostly came from Jonghyun’s fan page administrator which then on explained that despite reaching out to Wonwoo’s fan page administrator, the issue remains unresolved. It was also explained that the fan page has been run for the past five years and the issue was only brought up to avoid confusions amongst fellow fans, further asking the other account owner to consider their sentiments.
The tag “GUILTY PLEASURE” remains a sensitive topic amongst fans of SHINee as the line represented Jonghyun’s solo album of the same name. It can be recalled that during his promotions, Jonghyun inked the tagline on his back, earning necessary evidence.
The incident also raised another debate over local Korean fans and international ones as they continue to argue over the use of the tagline.

무시하고 버틴다고 해결될 문제도 아닌 것 같은데 피드백 언제 주실거죠? @gp960717_w

“This isn’t something that goes away because you ignore it can we get a response?”
저도 이딴 일로 제 탐라 더럽히는거 싫고요. 그쪽이 제 말 무시하는거에 이제 진저리나서 더이상 말하기도 짜증나요. 맘같아선 처음 봤을때부터 좋은말로 얘기하기 싫었는데 그쪽이 말씀하신대로 제가 만든 단어도 아니고 @gp960717_w

“I do not want to mess up my time line with such problems and I am sick and tired of talking to you. I wanted to be nice and like you said it wasn’t a word that I came up with”
누구나 쓸수있는 단어라 생각했기때문에 좋게 부탁드린거였어요. 제가 좋아하는 아이 예쁜 순간 간직하고싶어서 시작한거고 크진않아도 5년째 아등바등 끌어가고 있는 홈이에요. 같은 성향의 계정을 만들때 기본적으로 검색은 해야하지않나요?@gp960717_w

“So I was asking nicely. I wanted to cherish my bias’s precious moment and started this account and I’ve been running it for 5 years. When you’re making such a page doesn’t it make sense that you should probably search the names first?”
님 아이돌이 님 알던말던 저 신경안쓰구요. 저는 제 아이돌이 중요하고 제 홈이 제일 중요해요. 그쪽때문에 생각도 안해본 두탕이라는 소리 듣는거 정말 기분나쁘고 불쾌하구요. @gp960717_w

“I don’t care if your idol knows you or not. To me my fanpage and my idol is important. I don’t like hearing that I’m a copy because of you.”
정중하게 말씀드리면 버팅기면서 이러다 말겠지 가볍게 생각하시는거같아 저도 더이상은 못참겠네요. 네이버에 검색할 정도해서 이해할 정도면 한국어 잘하시는거 같고, 트윗 올린거보니 번역기로 나올 수 없는 어투같은데요.@gp960717_w

“If you’re going to try to ignore this until it goes away I won’t stand and let this pass. If you can search on Naver and from the way you tweet your Korean is at a good level”
외국인이라 몰랐다는 핑계 대지마세요. 네이버에 검색하면 연관검색어로 나오는건 못보셨나봐요? 안보신건지 못보신건지. 못알아듣겠다고 얘기도 하지 마시고 주변에 물어보던가 번역기 돌리세요. 번역기 안돌려도 충분히 이해할거같긴하지만요. @gp960717_w

“So don’t try to make excuses saying that you’re a foreigner. If you search in Naver it comes up as related keywords. If you need help ask around or use google translate. Although from the way things look you probably won’t need to.”
