Answer

It is 粉絲 (traditional) or 粉丝 (simplified), pronounced 'fen3 si1', an English loanword 'fans'.

It is still pronounced fen3 si1 (rather than fen3) for just one fan.

Answer

fensi means fans  ：)  a  transliteration

Answer

Thank you very much, Keith. I had always thought that "fan" in Mandarin was "mi" (2). Thanks to you, Helen, and Misha, I have learned that young Chinese are now using many English words. I think that this is occurring in other languages, too.
