i think you are confused about the semantics here

"core fandom" is the people on twitter and kforums making most of the posts, participating in polls, running fan accounts, doing mass stream campaigns.

for groups like newjeans, the core fandom is relatively small. Most of the streams come from the general public casuals, so the core fandom boycotting does not really register

for other artists (think the lim young woong ahjummas) they have a huge core fandom but struggle engaging the general public

does that make sense
