Wassup + 2 Weeks Ago....

Hello hello, hope everyone's doing good; I am. Just so you know, I won't be doing SeLf CoNtrOl posts for a while since my life isn't so exciting that I can keep up 2 posts a week.

Interesting Storyor at least I find it interesting: A couple weeks ago there were the Mnet awards. It's a k-Pop thing where the fans decide which group/artist wins a trophy for their new song. Recently EXO and BigBang, probably the two biggest names in k-Pop (Psy doesn't count, that guy was a one hit wonder), both had their comebacks. Exo released the song Love Me Right, BigBang released the song Bang Bang Bang and they were both in the competition. Like I said, they're 2 of the most popular groups so every other group/artist that entered the competition were basically crushed like fleas; irrelevant.
Now the interesting part is that their fans are hardcore. I don't know if anyone has seen a fan war before but that's what was going on from the moment they released those songs. EXO-Ls (EXO fandom) vs VIPs (BigBang fandom).
Views on the music videos also count towards who wins, so a lot of their fans would just sit, refreshing the videos again and again for HOURS, staying up late, doing nothing else, losing sleep, for HOURS. I went to the comments section of both videos and it was like they were having their own little pep rallies.
"5 million views in 1 day, we can do this, keep refreshing EXO-Ls"
"Why are the views going up so slowly? It's been 48 hours, 8.6 million views. VIPs, fighting!"
They were keeping track and everything. Some people even burned posters of the opposing group and you can bet they were trash talking each other on social media day and night. The leader of EXO received a death threat and someone from Finland threatened to bomb BigBang's next concert in Finland if they won. I know that's probably just people on the internet threatening to do things they'll never even do, but isn't that too much? What if BigBang decides to stay on the safe side and not have anymore concerts in Finland and that 1 person just ruined it for every VIP in that country.
I personally like both groups, but wanted BigBang to win and they did. But I wasn't about to refresh the video more than a couple times which I did because I enjoyed the song that much, not because I was trying to add more views.
The morals of the story are:
1. Two of the most popular k-Pop groups probably shouldn't have their comebacks at the same time unless they want all hell to break loose.
2. Do not mess with EXO-Ls or VIPs because they will come after you, or at least threaten to
