In March 2019, the ‘Jung Joon-young Group Chat’ was disclosed, and I shed tears not even knowing why I was crying. It had been ages since I was a Jung Joon-young fanatic, but why I was so mad? Who might know the reason for this anger? To whom could I possibly talk about this? Other fans, or former fans like me, came to my mind. 

I want to talk with others who got as mad as I did, to explore and release our anger. Once, such fans may have been fanatic about a different celebrity and they must have thought they were lucky to idolize such people. With them, I want to talk about our unpleasant past and discuss how the present is different. Through their testimonies, I will deal with the problems on idolization, extremism, and fandom culture. 

The history of extreme fandom continues to occur all around us, as it always has. I want to ask the blind advocates of fallen idols - How did you come to advocate such people regardless of reason, logic, or moral values? For what do you advocate? Do you believe you are a true fan?​
