With North Korea's threat of war looming over the country, 112 is receiving an explosive number of calls asking what will happen in the event of a war.
On March 14th, the Kyungnam Police revealed that they have been receiving an influx of calls and texts from the 11th through the 13th since North Korea declared the 1953 armistice invalid. They've received a total of 800 texts in total thus far.
The questions range from innocent inquiries like "Is North Korea stronger or is America stronger?" and "Where will North Korea shoot their nuclear weapons?" to pranks like "Will I be drafted as a student soldier in the event of a war?" and "Is our country screwed if we go into war?"
Most noted, however, are questions from teens and elementary/junior high school students who are calling by asking for a certain celebrity to be saved. "Please save our INFINITE oppas first if we go into war."
A representative said, "We've been receiving 300-400 calls a day and we're afraid that it's going to interfere with our work. We're trying to calm everyone but students are spreading groundless rumors that are causing more unrest. The schools need to talk with them about this."
South Korea is practically on the brink of war with North Korea and the first thing on anyone's mind is "OH GOD, NOT THE INFINITE/SHINEE/SUJU/BIG BANG/EXO/2PM/ETC OPPAS" ? And you ask why we rag on fangirls so much.
EDIT: It gets better. Apparently, crazy Inspirits had been calling so much, the police stations began to bitch at Woollim Entertainment to do something about it. This in turn leads us to a tweet from Woollim Entertainment pleading for the fans to shut the fuck up and stop bothering the police.
INFINITE 팬 여러분들께 알립니다. 앞으로는 이런일들이 발생하지 않도록 자제 부탁드리겠습니다.news.kukinews.com/article/view.a…Translation: Ayo Inspirits, we're gonna need you to calm your fucking titties. Pull shit like this again and we're postponing Infinite's comeback 'til you behave.

Remember - the world outside their tumblr feed does not exist.
ReplyDeleteWhen Woollim tweeted the news article and pleading fans to behave, then it surely is a serious issue. I'm still curled up in secondhand embarassment because of this.

ReplyDeleteNo where except for tumblr and Asianfanfics is exo popular, no one gives shits about them.
ReplyDeleteTrue love homies
ReplyDeleteFuck that shit. Save sunny and minzy ass just the ass first pls
"EDIT: It gets better. Apparently, crazy Inspirits had been calling so much, the police stations began to bitch at Woollim Entertainment to do something about it"
ReplyDeletehow do you know police stations "began to bitch" at Woollim? (yes, it's a genuine question)
Just fyi, this article is in the top ranking news so there's a possibilty Woollim found out from news portal instead of "bitched at by the police"
They may or may not have, this kind of thing is kinda unprecedented. Unless there's been something like this in the past.
DeleteI see. Your wording in the article made it look like you know for sure that the police contacted Woollim about this. That's why i asked in case i'm missing that part. Thanks for clarifying.
DeleteThis is pure gold.
ReplyDeleteFuck I gotta hurry fly to bad Korea to kidnap soyeon and thus saving her from good Korea's nuke.
"South Korea is practically on the brink of war with North Korea" - you mean like the media tried to push it over the last ~15 years ?
ReplyDeletePlease don't fall into the same shithole that the general media has.
Last time I checked, the armistice was still in place during the last ~15 years.
DeleteAre Infinite really that popular in Korea? I like their songs the best but i will never really get into them as long as they keep these two useless faggotries Sungyeol and Sungjong and that dinosaur-monkey hybrid Dongwoo. Infinite would be so much better without them. (And please stop dressing Myungsoo like that, we don't need another Jaejoong.)
ReplyDeleteI think now it's time for Koreans to do something about that craziness, the security of their country is at stake.How about banning Kpop for under aged? Maybe then we'll start seeing some real men at Kpop MV.
Myungsoo is so handsome, probably the only truly good looking guy in kpoop. He is a 10/10 in my book.
DeleteIDEK what infinite is :( im an oldfag kpop fan.
So true!!! I used to also find TOP very handsome, but sadly he is not anymore... All the others are from the bottom of the barrel, with the exceptions of some cute/passable faces (Donghae, Yunho, Nickcunt, Daehyun).
Deletebut sungyeol and dongwoo are so funny :c
DeleteTOP was handsome, now he is a scarface. And ur list, i so agree! I might add the cute little boy from BAP but i dun wanna seem like sullifag. Oh and that Suho of exo m, looks like a good looking version of Taecyeon
DeleteI looked up infinite(very average group) and holy shit Myungsoo has a very high pitched voice and its funny and it sounds terrible
Add lee Jonghyun of cn blue is also very handsome
DeleteHaha, indeed, he sounds like a 10 year old and he can't sing for shit.
DeleteWae you say that about sullifag? What's wrong with being honest about your pedo feelings? Do you mean Zelo? I always feel like there is something wrong with his face, i can't really discribe it though. Maybe he has a big face/jaw idk.
I don't really know CNblue but you're right, Jonghyun is handsome! (Why did they make bulldog face Yonghwa an actor?) Too lazy to check EXO M... But i'll take your word.
*facepalm
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, when exactly will those kind of fangirls even behave?
I would save bands like beg, davichi and left those boybands as a bait with their fangirls. Oh wait, we can make a replica of the boybands and those stupid fangirls will swarm over them and die together when best korea bombed FUCKING GENIUS.
ReplyDeleteFangirls is what makes the human race the human race
ReplyDeleteWhere's girl's day expectation review? :o
ReplyDeleteI saw threads like "K-Pop is over" on the allkpop forums when Best Korea declared war on Worst Korea.
ReplyDeletecalm yo self windgl
ReplyDeleteWhy do I need to calm myself? I'm not a Insprit. I like Infinite for their music. If I had to choose between me or them, you can bet your sweet ass I'd use them as shields to escape and save myself.
DeleteWhat's with your obsession with this Gem meme it's like prehistoric now.
ReplyDeleteForgot I used it already. l0l
DeleteThe police should get all these worthless pieces of human garbage and use them as human shields for their oppars. Then we would see who's a true fangirl.
ReplyDeleteinspirits were so nice and normal a little while ago.
ReplyDeletei guess fame comes at a price.
Nice doesn't mean sane.
DeleteBtw simon and martina said that best korea have been giving threats to sk since god knows when and that its mostly just bullcrap except that torpedo attack stuff.
ReplyDeleteKim Jong Un is much more desperate than his father was, which is why he's waving his dick around more than his dad did. KJU is looking to consolidate power and a war may be his trump card. Kim Jong Il just wanted the sanctions to be relaxed, which is why he did the shit he did.
