It's been a particularly rough five or six weeks for fans of the Hallyu Wave. f(x) disbanding, the passing of former member Sulli, Monsta X's Wonho leaving the group (no matter how temporarily or permanently). It seems 2019 is trying to compete with 2017 as the worst year in Hallyu. But it all boils down to one thing: fan entitlement in the era of "social media." A serious consequence of which is cyberbullying. 

With the push from South Korea's government to crack down on malicious comments, one has to wonder, is it too little too late? After all, bullying is just a symptom. The root of the problem is much deeper.

Join Cy, TJ, and special guest, Matthew as they discuss the consequences of fan entitlement, cyberbullying and the pain of living with mental illness.
