anti
Someone who actively hates a specific idol or group and makes it their whole personality.
Definitions
An anti-fan — someone who doesn't just dislike an idol or group, but follows them closely enough to drag them daily. Short for 'anti-fan,' a concept that's been baked into K-pop culture since the early 2000s and occasionally crosses into genuinely dangerous behaviour.
