Wanna One suffers from a divided fandom




Article: "The competition for center" Wanna One, not 1 fandom but 11 different fandoms

1. [+1,019, -65] Even if Wanna One is one, Wannables seem to be a fandom that would rather die than act as one

2. [+668, -58] Fans are always the problem

3. [+686, -67] Aside from all the issues with the center position, it's fact that the fandom is having a hard time coming together. I was surprised when fans started directing their frustrations not at the agency but against the other members.

4. [+424, -37] The saying that female idol groups are grown by the public while male idol groups are grown by the fandoms are true. IOI's fandom issues were never this bad.

5. [+205, -9] Well Wanna One's fandom is a combination of individual fandoms. It doesn't make sense to demand that all those fandoms have to like the same thing. I think we should be grateful if we just acknowledge the differences and we all just play nice until the group disbands ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+163, -12] I'm really sick of fandoms ranking the members whenever an issue arises, drives me nuts

7. [+167, -15] How could you not expect this when the entire group is made up of members voted by individual fandoms of their own? ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+135, -6] Way too many akgaes in the fandom. I wish everyone would just support all the members, or at least not put down the others if you can't do that.

9. [+134, -11] Nope, this fandom's going to go down fighting until the last day

10. [+212, -43] It seems like a hobby for this fandom to put each other down and fight till blood is drawn ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+134, -17] Can't be helped when the members were voted in by separate fandoms in the first place

12. [+83, -8] It was pretty bad with IOI at first too but Wanna One's just on a larger scale so it's more visible to the eye

13. [+120, -21] Remember how bad it was with IOI when Kim Sejung was set to debut with Gugudan and all the other fandoms dragged her down for impacting IOI's promos?

14. [+117, -23] The fandom doesn't seem to realize that not getting along is putting them on a one way path to failure

15. [+72, -14] You can even see them fighting in this article ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

16. [+46, -7] Wannables, please wake up. We need to move on from the 'Produce 101' days and stop fighting and wasting time over who gets more screentime. Let's just love the group for who they are.

17. [+40, -5] You can't expect Wanna One's fandom to be like other fandoms when they started off as individual members to begin with

18. [+27, -1] The next season can fix this by getting rid of the ranking system for individual members and just having fans vote for entire groups
