Someone who actively dislikes and works against a specific idol or group — leaving hate comments, mass-reporting, or organizing campaigns to tank chart positions. Distinct from casual disinterest.
The anti-fan mass-streaming a rival act to bump them off the chart backfired and got the target more attention.
Anti-fan is someone who actively dislikes a celebrity, group, or media property and engages with them critically. K-pop and pop-culture vocabulary. Not concerning unless extreme. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Anti-fan is informal cultural vocabulary describing a person who actively engages with critical opposition to a celebrity, group, or media franchise. Use in fandom and cultural writing. Formal equivalent: "hater," "opposition fan." Common non-native mistake: assuming it means simply not being a fan. Anti-fans actively engage critically with the subject they oppose, often consuming the same content as fans. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
