Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
U-KISS members recently used their Twitter accounts to get fans to send them copies of Diablo 3.
U-Kiss members are being criticized for their tweets regarding Diablo 3. Recently on twitter, many of the U-Kiss members wrote that they wanted to get copies of Diablo 3. On May 14, Soohyun wrote, “”Once I get to Korea I am going to buy a computer. For Diablo.” Then he wrote, “Is it hard to get a limited version?”
He continued, “I am at New York… Diablo 3 Limited Edition TT.” When another member received a copy from a fan he tweeted his envy. Eventually on May 17 Soohyun received a copy and tweeted, “Finally! Thank You!”
The same went for the member AJ who continued to write about Diablo 3 until he actually received it from a fan. Kim Hyung Joon of SS501 also tweeted something similar on May 15.
Netizens wrote, “It seems like they are directly asking fans to buy them copies,” “At first I didn’t mind much, but it doesn’t look good as they keep asking for Diablo 3,” and “I don’t think it is right that idols are using their popularity this way.”
This is why I don’t necessarily feel bad for celebrities when they complain about crazy fans, because they sorta bring it on themselves.
Still, why wouldn’t U-KISS do this? The netizens sound pressed as fuck that they didn’t get a copy.
Look, if I had a bunch of delusional shits who worshiped me, I’d probably ask for much worse.
“OH DEAR I’M SO LONELY I COULD REALLY USE A HAREM OF WOMEN TO SEX RIGHT NOW WHAT DO I DO“
Hey, it’s the limited edition, who can blame them? You gotta use what you have.
You do what you gotta do, man. Diablo III is the shit.
DORADORA isn’t even in Music Bank top50 and that’s the topic they should be worried about lol
lol

I’m starting to believe lots of idols are really broke now,soohyun doesn’t have a computer? and they obviously begging fans to buy them stuff?or i just don’t know how deeply precious that game is that it is worth for a genie’s wish..
I think unless your from a rich company or group is doing really well then your poor. Is being an idol really that great? And this is no different than girl groups having their uncle fans buy them shit.
I’ve pretty much concluded that most K-pop idols (especially the ones in groups) don’t make shit as far as money goes.
There may be a few exceptions, but I think most of them just earn a modest salary and any profits go to their company.
I think the only ones that might be making some money are the ones that ditched their companies and went out on their own.
Can’t believe that you would be that poor if you were an idol.
Asking fans for Diablo III via twitter… maybe mention it once but keep mentioning it until you get it…
Go and buy one yourself!
Why do people even care? If their fans want to spend money on them that’s their business.
I want that game :X lucky bastards
They’re only hating on U-KISS because, well, it’s U-KISS.
Nobody gets upset that people donate shitloads of gifts to SNSD or Big Bang, now do they? I mean SNSD aren’t exactly on Twitter asking for gifts, but come on.
SNSD anniversary care packages are fuckin’ awesome. I know, I saw what we gave to them on SSF. That shit was like over 20 grand all up.
lol, i’m curious now, what exactly were in the care packages for them to cost that much? Anw if U-kiss was a more famous group like Super Junior I doubt the netizens will be flaming them for such trivial BS. But then again U-kiss members shldn’t have flaunted their copy of the most sought-after computer game right now on twitter with fancy selcas. Sure-fire way to attract jealous bitches
Do you at least get a blowjob out of it?
I spend $59.99 on mine after pre-ordering it, pushing up my phone bill to be paid later, don’t have any gas money now, and my girlfriend nagged me for not getting food at the time. But they just whore themselves to get it for free!!? Fuck those sluts. I hope their’s crashes or couldn’t connect! (mine was doing that for a little bit, then I got help)
I had it bottling up in me too long…
U MAD, BRAH?!
Bleh. Idols get fan gifts all the time. Even those who aren’t popular & even rookies because there’s always those fans with money to burn or those fans who’ll sacrifice blood & sweat just to give their precious unnies/oppas something just so they can establish some sort of connection whatsoever. Of course, the difference is that none of them post a gazillion tweets about wanting something.
They should be worrying when they’ll actually win and get out of being “The Underrated Group” first.
But… they actually have time to play?
Not all Idols have that kind of time.
weird. the news item i glance thru last weekend seems to indicate that they got it from the game developers.
n mte on how common it is for the fans shelling out blood money to get their oppars and unnirs fancy ass gifts. u should see the birthday gifts some of the exo members got from their chinese fanclub recently.
having delusional and crazy fangirls won’t be as bitter or hard to stomach when receiving a 300 dollar passport cover gift just 1 month into your debut.
What’s even funnier is that if this kind of shit actually happened with Super Junior, Bigbang or any other top groups, nobody would have complained over begging.
It’s a known fact that most boyband members make shit salaries and rarely get time to add stability to their own private/emotionnal lives (Heck, they cannot even date lol).
The “fame” and the retarded fangirls are the only things they actually have, we shouldn’t judge them for asking their fans to buy them expensive shit…
Promotional stunt?
Nobody cares enough about U-KISS for that to be possible.
