That’s the petty mind of a typical kpop fan not a business. They’ll push IVE for the most profit. They got rid of GFriend because they stopped being profitable for a long time.

In terms of impact to the genre, not lifestyle obviously. In the early 90s grunge bands used to dominate American music but then Tupac and Biggie came and changed the public’s musical taste. No grunge bands of mainstream level have been heard of ever since. In the early 20’s “noise music”...

It would be the Big 3 GG stans biggest nightmare

Nobody gets to the top by being a saint

Considering how much IVE was able to achieve in Korea and globally by being from a small mid tier agency. People will bring up SISTAR but they were only known for being great on MelOn and not anywhere else. The never had the global popularity or it girl like IVE does. With HYBE's money and...

It's well known that compared to previous generations the current new lineup of boy groups are incredibly unpopular. Big 4s will still do fine and there will always be a niche market for BGs but the public as a whole have turned their eyes away from BGs. Most of the public that consumes this...

I dont condone death threats, but if there's people who will live with fear for their lives why would it be Giselle rather than Kris Wu? I posted that video from Giselle and literally sounded like she was questioning her survival

I'm saying how fans have disproportionate reactions to what idols do. Dating = they freak out and journalists make tons of articles about it because fans like consuming all news about it. Idols who make mistakes are corrected, but then others get too extreme with it and start giving them death...

But then an idol slips up and says the n-word once in their life by mistake and everyone loses their minds. Meanwhile a convicted child rapist idol (Kris Wu) has tons of fans ready to throw themselves at him

Welcome to the club

Potentially a popular idol who has been in the industry for years could have already dated hundreds of people. Even regular attractive guys can get hundreds of matches on Tinder. How much easier it is for idols who’s personality is already known by people. Every time I travel to Korea and go to...

In the end, Lee Sooman is an old rich businessman and the de facto boss of their entire company, and powerful enough to avoid being jailed as an Interpol criminal and being able to essentially ban people from the entire Korean industry. He didn't hire his idols because he loved them but because...

Of course you don't find it creepy. But what if instead of Lee Sooman it was an old rich fan who paid idols a lot of money to hug him?

I was reading this article and I couldn’t but help to see the parallels with kpop. Just replace anime with kpop and Japanese with Korean. https://animemotivation.com/anime-fetishization-weebs-japan/ This also reminded me of the news of women going to Korea to find boyfriends, due to the...

compared to what female idols get

it's one thing holding her accountable. but obviously some people will go beyond that and give her excessive hate, including death threats

She apologized but that will never stop the hate

Koreans hate her because she doesn't fit their beauty standards, ifans hate her because she said the n-word, Japanese hate her because she is mixed, suspicious observers think she got into Aespa with nepotism. The amount of pain she is holding in, I can't even comprehend

Imagine the possibilities
