A Singaporean blogger has caused outrage among K-Pop fans for her comments about MONSTA X, BTS and EXO. A certain Xiaxue, who is said to be a famous blogger, took to Twitter to share her thoughts about K-Pop and fandoms on Saturday.
Apparently, Xiaxue and MONSTA X boarded the same plane as per Allkpop; hence, the Singaporean blogger got curious after seeing their fans at the airport.
"I don't know who MONSTA X is but when I google imaged them, I genuinely thought they were a group of trannies," she posted, using a slang word for "transsexual."
The Singaporean blogger even exchanged sarcastic words with a netizen who criticized her for using such word. "I love your blog, but do you know tranny is a derogative term that many trans people are uncomfortable with?" a commenter said.
Xiaxue then sarcastically replied, "I'm also uncomfortable with people starting sentences with "I love your blog, but..." It hurts my feelings." The blogger even accused the netizen of being a transgender in another tweet.
After a series of rude tweets about MONSTA X, the Singaporean blogger dragged the name of BTS and EXO in the argument, stating that both boy groups are the worse. She even posted a survey asking "which boy band is the most effeminate" and listed the three K-Pop groups in the selection.
Despite drawing backlash, the Singaporean blogger continued to trigger the K-Pop fans with her offensive remarks about their idols. However, others thought Xiaxue is just trying to get some attention.

Hence, the three fandoms are calling out their co-fans to ignore the blogger and her rants. "More attention means more followers, more traffic to her blogs, more money. Ignoring will be the best answer," a netizen wrote.
Meanwhile, MONSTA X has confirmed their plans to make a comeback in March as per Soompi. According to Starship Entertainment, the boy group initially intended to return by the end of this month; however, their album preparations and overseas promotions have led them to delay the initial plan.
On the other hand, EXO has been touring around Asia for their "EXOrDIUM" concert. In fact, the boy group just wrapped up their two-day concert in the Philippines on Sunday, while BTS is enjoying the success of their new songs "Spring Day" and "Not Today."
