Why Did T.O.P's Biggest Fans Quit on Him?

After twenty years, CHOIDOT, the biggest fansite for T.O.P (formerly of BIGBANG), announced it was shutting down. A day later his agency apologized, in four languages. Outside Korea the headline was "fans angry about his relationship." The fansite says that's not it. We go through the notice, the apology, and what a Korean fansite actually does for an artist, then read the public comments under both posts.
