December 2023,

Fandom. ANGELs. CARATs. MYs. DIVEs. REVELUVs. SONEs.

These are some of the fandoms that I associated myself. Either it was mine, my seniors or my friends. It was a fact that we cannot please everyone. But, I'm always grateful to our fans. They were very respectful towards us.

When we're out in the public. Myself at the bakery working, Muchen working at the coffee shop or even the others out in the public. They will not harm or invade our personal space. Very respectful. They will ask permission to take pictures and we're more than happy to meet new fans.

Online, they are very chill and quiet. Well, to us they're very chaotic which we're more than happy to banter with. They don't attack other artists and just focus on promoting our music. ANGELs didn't join in any unnecessary fanwars.

Online, they have a very healthy relationship with CARATs. ANGELs are officially CARATs younger siblings. We're very close to each other where it's easy to help each other in case the other side was in need of help. It was a common occurrence where Dino hyung and I will be the butt of their jokes. The most 'respected' hyung and the most 'loved' maknae.

Officially, both fandoms had adopted the name CARANGELs.

It was officially voted by the kpop community that ANGELs and CARATs were those with the most chill fandom and we're holding that title. Other fandoms include MONBEBEs, AHGASEs and SHAWOLs to complete the five most chilled fandom.

People say that the bigger the fandom, the toxic it'll become but I retorted saying SEVENTEEN sunbaenim and SHINee are two of the biggest kpop group in history yet the fandom stayed the same. Thus, ANGELs soon followed suit. They want to follow their older siblings foot steps.

BLINKs, EXO-Ls, STAYs, ENGENEs are those that I saw physically/emotionally harmed ANGELs. STAYs always picked a fight with ANGELs stating that how we're just a second rated group and will never reach their level. Before Babylon Garden was created, they were dubbed as the 'It' group of Gen 4. But when we came, it became ours. To them, we're a threat that needs to be brought down

They should know that our fandom have more daesangs than their appearances at award shows.

Next was ENGENEs. The fandom really hated us. Like really. It was all stated when we quote unquote 'overperformed' them during our first ever music award shows. Remember the time where the system got shut down and we had to perform without music? And to the fact that we won every single rookie award at all ceremonies leaving them with none.

But their hatred peaked when ENGENEs made fun of my late dad's death.

Personally, I never felt so disappointed how people can get that low. Making fun of someone's death. Apparently not only me but they made fun of TREASURE member Yoshi for losing his dad. I think it was at the moment where I'm glad to have my fans backing me up.

Me: Thank you for the support guys. But please ignore them, they do not deserve your kindness and time <3

I smiled to the camera where the fans gave me lots of their support. Speaking of TREASURE MAKERS, they too are at war with ENGENEs since they did not let the situation died down. Since TREASURE and ENHYPEN debuted at the same year.
