About this term

An anti is a hater or dedicated critic of an idol or group. Fans say "anti comments," "anti fans," or "anti accounts" when talking about targeted negativity and harassment online.

It is not the same as fair criticism. Searching "anti meaning K-Pop" usually leads to how communities report, block, and avoid feeding trolls.

Frequently asked questions
