Nini is one of the corn fans in China, who worshiped the singer and actor since he debuted as the K-Pop EXO group member in 2012 and then left the group, to China

She spent countless hours of corn tracking online and came to see live events.

The corn catches shocked in his fans and the entertainment industry.

Since the previous two months, the Chinese Network Management Department has erased more than 150,000 harmful messages, closeing more than 4,000 social network accounts and removing at least 39 mobile applications.

Last weekend, Weibo, China's Twitter social network, announced the removal of powerful power rankings - one of the most important virtual battlefields to fans show their love and support for their love

The moves in the past two months are an attempt part to control fans culture and become more and more serious.

Like Nini, Melody spent thousands of hours on websites like Weibo to protect idols by posting a compliment and sometimes attacking his opponents.

Fans like Nini and Melody do not act alone, they often follow what fans have influence in fans clubs, often called Great Fan, requirements.

Summer Song, who executed a fan to raise fans in Beijing, said many fans were paid.

Great fan encourages fans to post comments, increase traffic and promote the operation of brands on websites and platforms, while promoting the popularity of stars.

If the stars of stars arguing online, it's great because you don't have to worry about traffic, brands will even pay more money, but say.

I saw the worship of the star like a prison, who inside couldn't see what was going on outside, what they said different from what they really trusted, but added.

In the eyes of fans, their idols are perfect, they don't accept any idol criticism.

The symposium of corn can signal the end of the golden era of 'Purities Luu' (Stars with top fans), but comments.

However, Melody believed that the pursuit of the star made her better.

Chen Chun, researcher at Ton Trung Son University in Guangzhou, said the fans today can originate from the 2004 Super Girl music competition, the Chinese version of the famous Idol Pop program series

According to Chen, the trend of chasing the star was formed by the rise of culture of male music groups in Korea and Japan, reality TV shows and Internet boom in China.

Chen said corn scandals for officials to continue managing fan culture.

Lu Battery, Social Activity and Founder of Non-Governmental Feminist Organization, said the government has allowed fans to develop in the past decade because it is generally non-political and possible

Posts to push the patriotism of the Chinese Communist Youth Union and government speeches such as People's Daily can attract hundreds of millions of comments from fans, after being shared by celebrities.

Chen expressed doubts whether Chinese officials achieved a goal to curb fans, because society needs to be entertained and has a huge amount of money related to this industry.

There are tens of millions of fans of stars and billions of dollars behind this industry, Chen said.

Lu stressed that young people needed a place to express themselves.
