Did Crush Snub Black Fans at a Concert in South Korea?
South Korean fan boys had a little bit too much fun at the concert of famous singer Yoon Mi-ra. The reason was obvious. Yoon Mi-ra is famous in South Korea, known for her catchy songs, sexy and funny images in a variety of videos, and her “crush” video. Her fans, too, are pretty crazy. Not the fans we’re used to, but more interesting to us as Asian friends.
What’s interesting for us as Asian friends is that they were being called “pansori” on the street, which is a Korean word for “fans” or “crush”. The fans of a singer who’s famous in another country were being called “black”, which is a term referring to people who have dark skin or a darker shade of black. On the streets of Seoul, the word for “pansori” was used to describe all black South Korean fans. These guys and girls were being called “pansori” on the street, which is a Korean word for “fans” or “crush”.

South Korean netizen had written, “Why are you calling black fans ‘Pansori’” on his/her Facebook page. This is one of the most common questions that we receive when we receive comments on the Korean blog. It’s always the case that at the beginning of a conversation, we are asked to explain ourselves. This makes no sense, because we are not the authors of the question. We just make sure that the explanation is grammatically correct. This is not about the quality of the explanation, but about the person who asked the question. And there is always one that asks this question.
