This is quite funny and cute at the same time. Koreans need to learn how to control themselves.

its really not that serious...

It's Golden Child's Jibeom and a fan who's alleged to be his gf, is what the posts say

Really? After Seungri fans still consider dating a scandal? Choices

I guess I didn’t explain it well. I meant the k sasaengs.

Some people don’t realize that their chances with idols are slim to none.

ok but if people have breakdowns over seeing a celebrity they like with his girlfriend... they needs to focus on their own lives and the people in it.

I will never understand this obsessive mindset where fans get genuinely angry over idols living their lives and dating. He won't be yours. And that mindset is not healthy

but is it really their fault? bgs themselves call their fans their girlfriends and thats how theyre so popular. i doubt if companies didnt market them like that, they would even have fans, considering most of them are female. the fans are mostly young girls in their preteens-teens. naive 9-11 year olds are easy to fool like that for money. they dont understand that its a marketing strategy.

mostly yeah, them being marketed in a way doesn't make it ok to feel entitled to their personal lives. Some of these obsessive fans are adults too. I like to think most fans aren't crazy so they'd still have many fans loving their music but a lot of fans definitely are obsessive.

Most normal people would understand that them saying stuff like that isn't realistic or true, but young naive teens wouldn't understand so yeah, they're definitely taken advantage of by the marketing strategy.

Though it still makes me sad seeing that clip of EXO on JYP party people when fans got angry when the topic of dating was brought up. And this was even after dating "scandals" with members. It's just not healthy to be like that for their own sake..

This reminded me of this great tweet I saw the other day:

well i mean they chose the idol life and knew everything they do would be restricted. its common sense to not be attached to a celebrity like that but the kpop industry really emphasizes heavily on the boyfriend concept. most bg members arent even talented yet still fangirls go crazy over them cause theyre their imaginary bfs. oppa does something bad, its okay. i guess its only fair that they have dating restrictions since thats how they milk young girls from their money. u cant have everything in life.

it's not just bgs though, ggs to the exact same thing too. It's just kpop industry in general because it's get more money.

I still think they should be able to live their lives, but I guess them trying to do it as private and secret as they can is for the best though

actually probably 110% NOT gonna happen
it's like my stupid kboo friend who wants to "marry" GD. I was to slap her, she's like 12 lmao

lol u think ggs are protected as much as bgs? ggs doesnt have oppa protection squads canceling everyone. besides arent girls more susceptible to cases like the seungri incident? imagine protecting rapists/perverts and thinking of them as ur boyfriends.

what lol?
I said gg are also marketed with a certain image, the whole "your bf/gf" image. Like saying "I have my fans and don't date" thing.

I literally never meant any of the things you said. Where did the whole protecting thing and Seungri incident come in? Obviously they have it harder.

girl group members are usually the ones who get attacked the most, because the majority of the time the person that theyre dating is also an idol. bg stans are super protective and obsessive over their faves, so the girl is always the one who gets bashed...

I never meant anything different. I just pointed out both are marketed in a similar way by companies in general, but I know bgs end up with more crazy fans and women gets bashed more. I guess I didn't explain what I meant properly,.

no no i was agreeing with you :). kpop companies need to stop marketing both bgs and ggs like theyre available, its the main reason why kfans think that they have a chance with their faves. i was only pointing out that girl group members usually get the most hate because bgs fans consist of mainly girls meanwhile ggs usually have a mix of both girls and boys.
