Listening to this podcast ep which is a deep dive into H.O.T and they are talking about the physical fight that broke out between the H.O.T fans and the Sechs Kies fans. One of the hosts talks about an interview where one of the Sechs Kies members talks about how a girl with a bloody nose came up to him and said something like “Oppa I got five of them” and he just tells her “Good job I’m proud of you.”
And idk why but that made me laugh so hard.

    As someone who didn’t grown up w/ H.O.T. and Sechs Kies, I assumed the fandom wars depicted in Reply 1997/Answer Me1997 was exaggerated for humor. Today, I learned it’s actually closer to reality than I had thought lolol

      That’s a refrain the hosts keep saying in the ep, something like H.O.T fans were always ready to fight, lol.

    Sechskies did all kinds of things that are inconceivable to modern kpop fans. Listen to this opening by Jiwon: https://youtu.be/1k_BO5KUBUE

      🤣
      I wonder what the reaction was at the time?

        I heard the backstory is that Sechskies were getting accused of lip-synching a lot (LOL, what a quaint concern, given modern k-pop performances) and it stressed Jiwon out a lot, so he basically wanted to show that no, they were actually singing when they were performing.

          This story appears in one of the most liked comments on the video! Apparently he decided to curse in English because it wouldn’t get picked up by the censors LOL.
