what ksy has that my mother doesn't



... Fruit Roll-Ups.

Besides that...

I watched a YouTube video not a long while ago where Kang Seung-Yoon, a band member, stated something like "I don't want to make our fans feel embarrassed for being, well, our fans." He explained further that fangirling (and fanboying) is an activity that is frowned upon by a considerable amount of people in South Korea. "So I will work hard to erase that stigma."

He made people generally reply politely to him: "No Seung Yoon, I'm proud of you." 'I don't feel ashamed at all being your fan.' "You have worked hard."

Would he still get the same result had my mother's paraphrased words been used instead? "Be a good fan, do xxx and yyy for me, don't bring shame to your idols! And don't forget to do zzz! Don't embarrass us in front of our fellow artists!"

Consideration. It's a good thing that an artist could be so considerate.
