ATTENTION PINK PANDAS AND A-PINK LOVERS.
As you may or may not know, but yesterday approximately 3pm KST, Chorong’s fan site 910303 made a post on twitter regarding to editing her pictures, the FAN TAKEN PICTURES.
Translations:
1. Oversea fans….If you edit [my] photos… this could get difficult…..T-T…..
2. I accepted all overseas members because I wanted to share with them… but if they keep on continuing….. T-T
—————————————————————————————-
I know as fans we repeatedly heard and read: ‘DO NOT CROP, EDIT, OR REMOVE WATERMARK.’ Fyeahs post this note for a specific reason - because official fansites ask us NOT want us to edit their hard works.
It’s just the number one rule we have to keep as fans. The fansite admins and masters post and emphasize it everywhere. It’s the first thing that they say when you register for their site. They even try to translate the rule (even though sometimes it doesn’t make sense) in english because it’s a rule that’s really important to them.
Ever had your precious edit become reposted or heck, even be edited after you have edited it? It hurts right? Like betrayal or that “OMGIEDITEDTHATFIRSTWTH” feeling? Well for these admins it’s the same feeling, or yet, even worse. These admins need to take their personal time off in order to see their favourite stars and take pictures/cam for us overseas fans who has little, little chance of seeing their favourite stars.
With all the hard work, they’re nice enough to present their work to us so that we can also have a fair chance of seeing our favourite stars. But we are so tempted to wanting to take their pictures and edit it our own way that we become really disrespectful to the admins.
This isn’t our first lesson on 2nd editing fans’ works right?^^ but we’d just like to remind you again a couple of things.
We hope that everyone understands that really, 2nd editing the masters’ works really hurt their feelings. And this goes to all photographers who takes pictures of their favourite groups; not just A-Pink. If we want to continue seeing our A-Pink girls, especially extremely-as-possible-close up, than all we can do is follow their rules. Also, ALWAYS LEAVE A THANK YOU COMMENT WHETHER IN KOREAN OR ENGLISH after viewing the pictures. It will mean a lot to them and it will mean a lot to us for them to continue allowing us to view their pictures.
Now having said that, we’re not just emphasizing it on 910303. We’re talking about other A-Pink fansite as well. SUCH AS:
- 93line.com - BABO AND CHUNJAE
- 940210.com - NAEUNEY
- sonnaeunlight.com - SONLIGHT
- 940922.com - YOOKYUNGAH
- hongyookyung.com -HONG YOOKUNG
- eunjee.com - EUNJEE
- 960719.com - MAKDOONGIE
- ohayoung.com - YOU! YOU! YOU!
AND SO ON.
We would also like to remind you that ALL-APINK is ALSO a fan-taken site. However, since all-apink.com has not specifically stated NO EDITING (not that I’m aware of), therefore, we will not say “no 2nd fixes” nor recommend you to do so.
We, fyeahchorong admins are also oversea fans as well and we really appreciate for what 910303 did for us, providing us pictures of Rong mama that we would never be able to see in real life and giving us rongfeelings when we’re down or stressed. We hope that 910303 admins will continue to do their works as we continue to encourage them~
Hoping that you as wonderful, respectful pink pandas would understand this -
- fyeahchorong admins.
