Heechul chopping off his locks is so important that an Arabic news site picked up on it.

Since I don't speak Korean, or Japanese, or Chinese fluently I'm basically useless at translating anything kpop related . The languages I do speak fluently are Arabic and English so you can expect when I saw it I was like "Hell yeah! Finally I can be useful in something language related!".

Last week this crime was committed:

And this was so important that an Arabic news site picked up on it.

This is the article: http://www.mbc.net/ar/programs/mbc-news/articles/لماذا-انشغل-السعوديين-بالشاب-الكوري--كيم-هي-تشول-.html

The title translates to: "Why are Saudis so hung up on the Korean male Kim Heechul". From this solely, you can assume it's about Heechul's recent haircut which has kpop fans in an uproar. This is only to be expected after dumb netizens told him to cut it and Heechul replied with a no. Jonghyun also told him to cut it but I forgive him because he's Jonghyun.

After many years he finally decided (or gave in) and cut his "ahjumma" hair *sniffs* *sobs*.

 Super Junior is absolutely huge among Arab fangirls. Ask any Arab into kpop today (sans moi) who were their "gateway group" to kpop and most will reply "Super Junior". So why Super Junior? First of all, Suju's "Sorry Sorry" went viral over here (along with "Gee") a while back. So from that, many people were introduced to this whole new concept called kpop. Another reason why is the fact that Super Junior participated in MANY variety shows and are good at it in the process. Those fangirls totally dig variety shows (here's a reason why iKon and Winner are popular over here as well). Many girls are into Super Junior because they're "funny" on variety shows, often not for their actual music (honestly who can blame them).

I've explained why Suju is so huge here now let's get onto the actual translation:

Why are Saudis so hung up on the Korean male Kim Heechul

The effect of the spread of a recent photo of the South Korean singer and actor Kim Heechul comes out after his recent haircut garnered attention with twitter users in Saudi Arabia. The hashtag created "your thoughts after Heechul cut his hair" became one of the most used hashtags in the country and had different tweets between those who like this Korean star's new look and those surprised by his sudden change in appearance but many tweets were from those who didn't know this TV star and were baffled by the amount of importance given to something seen as the norm, such as cutting your hair. 

While many young females have tweeted about the importance of the Korean star Kim Heechul, young males seemed to show less attention and knowing to this star (Heechul) and focused their tweets on making fun of young females for their attention towards this subject (of cutting hair) and this sudden change of those young females from loving Turkish stars to Korean stars. Korean TV shows have started to become as popular as Turkish TV shows and the stars of those (Korean series) have also started to become popular with those who like that type of series in the Arab world. 

It should be reminded that Kim Heechul is a member of the musical group Super Junior that is described to be the largest boy group in the world and consists of 13 members. In general, they are also described to be the best idol group in Korea.

That's the end of this article! (pretty short one it was)

As a side note: Heechul regrets chopping of his locks. Good. Don't chop it off next time.

Plz don't kill me - Times rabid fangirls aimed their knives at me.

I have a few friends. Friends who are into kpop and are a teeny weeny bit insane. Ok fine they're really crazy. It's not just them though. I'm guilty as well for being an insane (fan)girl when I want to. At least they have enough decency not to run around the school telling classmates that they would lick their oppa's abs (hehe).

*nosebleed*

They don't do that, but I can assure you that they're crazier than me because:

A) When my favourite boy group releases a crap song, I can admit that it's crappy.

B) I don't feel a "special connection" to my oppas. I just think they're hot.

So here are the times that rabid fangirls (whether friends, sisters or random people on the internet) sharpened their knives and aimed them at me:

When BTS's I Need U was released and just my relationship with ARMY in general:

BTS's fandom ARMY is one that's rapidly growing, bringing in herds of devoted and dedicated fangirls who will go through everything with their oppas and defend them to their graves. They are really (and I mean really) defensive towards BTS. Just try insulting ANY member of BTS in front of an ARMY and watch as hell unleashes on Earth. The reason why ARMY are defensive about this is because most of them feel as if they share a "special bond" with BTS. They also are really friendly with each other in the fandom (strength in numbers in nothing without teamwork and love~) and will kill you if you insult their fellow ARMY. I've had numerous 2000 word essays sent to me because I was a bit careless.

My first experience with this was when BTS's I Need U came out. Everybody loved it for some reason. I even caught a few non-kpop friends singing along to it. At that time, I was majorly depressed, because IT WASN'T WAR OF HORMONE 2.0. As expected, ARMY loved it because of the logic prevalent in many fandoms "If thy oppa releases a song, whether thou thinks is crappy or not, thou shall love ~ ♥  it". Of course being my usual obnoxious self, I complained about it, out loud. It was a mistake to complain about it around my ARMY friends because all they would do is obsess about it then I would complain and get dagger eyes. Looks CAN KILL, that's what I've learnt. 

When I almost biased Lee Sungyeol and why you shouldn't steal/ tear posters:

This is Lee Sungyeol

I likey likey dis long hair yeah!

Me: Wow he looks great with long hair, totally bias list worthy. 

Sis: Um you do know he's MY no.1 bias?

Me: Yeah, so? Other Inspirits bias him too.

Sis: I don't mind. I just don't want YOU to bias him.

Me: Too bad

Sis: *sharpens knife*

Me:.......

Sis:

Here's another incident with my dear sister! I once stole her posters (just because I can) and hung them up on my side of the room. She went ballistic and tore off some of my own posters. 

  I don't like cats but I think they're cute

When I state my opinion on Chanyeol and Eunhyukkie:

It's no secret I think that Chanyeol and Eunhyuk aren't good looking. Unfortunately their fans~ don't understand why. It's simply preference. Preference. Done. That's why, now can you please stop biting my arm thx. 

Guys I find attractive

Extra: Telling Ed Sheeran fans that Ed's music makes me sleep

Their reactions: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT HOW CAN YOU. HE IS ART. PURE ART. OMG I TOTALLY RELATE. OMG DONT TALK TO ME. DONT. TALK. TO. ME. IM NOT FRIENDS WITH YOU ANYMORE. NO JUST NOPE. OMG. 

Me:

Can you please just shut up.

This shows that some western fan(girl)s can be just as bad as EXO-Ls (and ARMY)

May you guys never have to deal with this insanity ~☆

Wow, nice abs.
