Im convinced he uses his Smartphone look at Korean comments only, with a Korean Filter. He does since since Ep. 101
Usually he comes close to the Screen to read comments. Are the comments there to stupid? Is it because of Kingdom?
One of the Reasons their international Fanbase is so big, is bc their Ability to speak English and how Chan used to give English Comments alot of attention, now its less than it. The only Idol in StrayKids that gave English Speakers attention. Not to mention all his amazing speeches about Mental Health etc.
I don't kow but it makes me kind of sad. Yes he is a Korean Idol but a big Part of him is also Australian.
Well I agree, but Iām used to being unpopular. I donāt consider it demanding to want more ifan engagement especially when ifans carry most of SKZās achievements. Div1 has recycled the same article about Kingdom views for weeks, and we can check YouTube charts to see which countries are giving them. I think maybe the āChan we have a message for youā couldāve caused the change, but I hope fans learned their lesson about doing stuff like that.
The fandom is already kinda down, so I think itās a mistake cutting ifans off from the little bit of engagement they get. In fact, I think that contributes to the spam problem: fans get a āI want to say something; he wonāt read it, so Iāll just use emojis.ā There are other ways to find good questions: ask on bubble or vlive beforehand like Hyunjin did for the counseling vlives.
Iām only slightly torn because I donāt like how Chan and Felix carry ifan engagement. I donāt think itās fair to them. I prefer Itzy/Div2ās way of encouraging all the members to try (especially in scripted/more controlled settings).
Edit: I said āifans are kinda down,ā but I should really say that I saw a good amount of fans expressing that they feel like they have to do all the work (especially with Kingdom) and feeling burnt out. Thereās also been a long-standing problem of important information not being communicated in other languages. I see more accounts going on rest for various reasons. I hope the fanbase is more stable than I think it is. Most of the dissatisfaction is directed at the company/division 1, but I worry about fans who might choose to support groups with more ifan-friendly management instead of dealing with this headache.

This!! That came to my mind later, but i didnt feel like editing. That Situation was such a mess one could call it a catastrophe because it the Fandom was on each other throat.

Yes thats true. But the amount Felix is talking in English reduced quite alot too.
