So I was having a nice Saturday generally off K-Pop Twitter and the Internet in general while getting a new bed (it’s great, btw), and apparently I’ve missed a lot. Today was Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma and it had surprisingly low turnout, but not because of the pandemic but because people essentially trolled his campaign with fake reservations, and leading the charge on that front was K-pop fans.

Joy: Everyone is shocked.. This was an easy setup for Brad Parscale… They completely messed it up. Brad Parscale is now furiously trying to tweet excuses… There’s a lot of twitter traffic that says he was played by young people and K-pop fans who ordered tickets… pic.twitter.com/nFeA93LTX9

The Trump campaign said recently that over one million tickets were requested for the Tulsa rally, the first rally in months due to covid-19.

Trump proclaimed that there wouldn’t be an empty seat.

I’ll let this video inside the rally speak for itself. pic.twitter.com/se6er6j49m

So there is a good deal of Twitter chatter that part of why the crowd outside and inside the Tulsa Trump rally is that KPOp fans requested masses of tickets to plus up Trump’s expectations with no intention of showing up. Either way, anemic nunbers for Trump in a deep red state. https://t.co/anxmdy5Dbq

K-pop fans setting aside $250 every month for albums, merch, and rally tickets is the activism I like to see. https://t.co/K3GgH8pFzZ

This is amazing. Tik Tok users and K-pop stans were the ones who made @parscale think they had a million ticket requests. God this is so hilarious. The kids might save us after all. https://t.co/wD5xCiSKoh

Teenage TikTok users and K-pop fans claimed to have registered potentially hundreds of thousands of tickets for President Trump's campaign rally as a prank to ruin the event. https://t.co/vrbtgSa27T

I’m honestly still catching up on this, but I wanted to give everybody a chance to revel in the mess.

Look, all I want is for a K-Pop Stan Twitter to be in a history book.

"The catalyst of the far-right's tumble in America was a tweet from @YunhoPlzDongMe69420…"
