But extreme loyalty can engender some pretty extreme reactions. During a performance by Girls' Generation at a huge annual K-Pop show in Seoul, the crowd created a " black ocean ," refusing to wave lights and cellphones and staying silent throughout the band's entire minute performance, reportedly to protest how close the group had become to the members of boyband Super Junior.
