March 12, 2006: The Yunjae Yaoi Inferno

Dangerous love! This week, V and Emily return to the world of kpop for a tale that is truly too wild to be believed. There's badfic. There's a fanfiction contest that should NOT have happened. There's fanservice. Emily learns the word "skinshipping" and hates it. There's a ghost kidnapping boy banders in the woods and it doesn't even matter because there's fanfic on television. In 2006. There's compulsory military service. There's rival fansites at war. There's a tramp stamp. There's a meet-cute-via-street-fight. There's exploitative contracts and industry blacklisting. This story has all the things.
