“I’m an attending student of SBHS and I’m graduating this year. Lots of people are contacting me about their [idol’s] class, or my class or my friend’s class so that they can see the 2nd graduation ceremonyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can’t even come in so don’t try and dig for those answers. Don’t even think about coming. I don’t want our joyful day to get ruined by fans.”

The user had even uploaded a photo of their school identification card along with a handwritten note that read “Don’t come to our graduation please.” to prove that they really were an SBHS student.

“Last year, these fans came and sat in the graduation hall by saying they were reporters and they even had reporters’ badges, just to take photos of two graduates. It was my senior’s graduation so I was standing behind these fans, but they were showing attitude and telling others to move so they could take the photosㅋㅋ I glanced over a few times and saw that she was tweeting.”

“Don’t inconvenience other families and ruin our graduation for the sake of your own eyes. Wouldn’t you feel bad for damaging the reputation of the (censored) fandom just because of those few fans? So please don’t come.”

“Oh and I’m not going to tell you who’s fans they were ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When the two members left all the fans swarmed after themㅋㅋㅋ And it’s true all the family members who came to congratulate our seniors looked at them with scorn. I even heard some say that extreme fans like them were problematic.”
