Transition to TikTok Live During Group Hiatus; Donation System Sparks Controversy

For many K-pop idols whose group activities are on hold or have disbanded, TikTok has become a way to continue interacting with and entertaining their supporters; fans can also send gifts during live streams. However, the original report notes that because these interactions involve monetary donations, problems can arise if an idol starts to be perceived as showing favoritism towards specific fans.

Fan Claims Being Blocked; Controversy Points to 'Big Spender' Fan Jamie

Initially, some fans reported being blocked from Arthur's live streams. The original report suggests that the reason is speculated to be related to a fan widely known as Jamie; she is considered a 'big spender' who spent a considerable amount during Arthur's live streams. According to reports, Arthur allegedly messaged her privately and provided his KakaoTalk information, leading to the two starting to communicate privately.
