In the world of K-pop, a fansite refers to a fan-run account that focuses on a specific idol. These fansites are usually managed by an individual or a small group and are well-known for capturing and sharing high-quality photos of idols at airports, concerts, music shows, or other public schedules.
Most fansites operate on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or their own dedicated websites, where they upload previews, full photo albums, and other exclusive content. The images shared by fansites are typically of high quality, capturing beautiful moments using professional cameras and editing techniques, drawing in a large following of fans.
Particularly, in cases where fansites manage to capture photos from exclusive or limited-access events, the photos become even more valuable and sought after.
However, the concept of fansites can also be controversial, as the line between admiration and invasion of privacy can sometimes blur. There have been instances where fansites were criticized for excessively following idols or taking photos during private moments.
NUNA V, a long-established fansite for V, recently faced similar accusations after she posted several photos of the idol attending the CELINE Fashion Show on X. The photos, while undeniably stunning, also showed how close in proximity she was to V, raising questions among some fans.
Some accused her of following V to the event, even calling her a sasaeng fan, and alleged that she had impersonated a journalist to get V's permission for such close-up shots. Others criticized her for overly editing V’s photos to the point of "wнιтewasting".
Additionally, many accounts reposted NUNA V’s photos without credit—removing her watermark, adding their own logos, and sharing them as if the pictures were originally theirs.
After being harshly attacked for posting the images, NUNA V responded strongly by sharing a personal statement on her account, saying:
Previously, this fansite had also faced similar accusations after posting photos of V and Park Bo-gum at CELINE’s 2022 event and some other private luxury brand functions. At the time, she proved that she had been invited as a VIP client of the brand by sharing her official invitation, making it clear that she wasn’t stalking him.
Moreover, there have been several occasions where V has recognized and favored this fansite—looking directly into her camera at events, fansigns, and fan meetings. Because of this, many ARMYs trust that NUNA V would never do anything to violate V’s privacy or disrespect him in any way.
Following the recent incident, fans have been actively discussing and sharing their views on the situation:
- When Tae was allowing her to take the pictures of him with a smile, how can they call her a sasaeng and stalker for that? Just coz she is living the dream that they want to be, doesn't mean they can accuse her as a sasaeng.
- Im glad that she’s speaking up for herself now this is getting so annoying for even us i can’t imagine how she feels
- Ik how she’s feels imagine working hard for ur favorite person and people comes to judging you all time
- Their jealousy and envious reached the highest level.I think this is the first time she depend herself this people is full of bitterness in their lives.
- They don't even try to understand. She was INSIDE that very exclusive venue. Taehyung is looking straight at her camera in many of the pictures. She's shown us the invitations she's received from Celine. For those of us who know and who follow Taehyung, it's obvious that she's there with his consent. For id10ts who clutch at labels like "s@esengs" without trying to read the context, well they'll always be id10ts.
- nuna v is not the first fan to be trusted by an idol. It is very common for some fan sites to be trusted and know the artist. Fans are rich and truly respect the artist. It is not strange for them to know a lot. This kind of thing really exists. Some people are just jealous.
- She finally open up about this issues directly and cleared up. I'm seeing this Same old bs about her from 2020.
- Girl it 100% jealousy pure and simple. You're living the dream of every fan.
- The poor girl she’s so done they can’t leave her alone she’s doing her work and taking perfect pictures for Taehyung but they can’t even say thank you they just judge all of the time. She read everything she’s human respect her feelings it’s already 2025 and they still call her sasaeng bro grow up
