how do Idol scandals change how much you listen to their music? (1 Viewer)

[Panda]

and i mean actual scandals, not dating scandals

 

[Villains]

I might avoid their music but sometimes i'll still listen to it and just not be interested in the idol

 

[Ahsoka]

I don't think they really do affect it most of the time, unless its something really big like Seungri. I don't listen to his solo music anymore.

i feel like that is how most people feel

 

[Sourcekeeper]

I tend to just focus more on music but if the scandal affects others negatively, i will stop.

 

[Jimimis]

What if my answer applies to dating scandals too

 

[Yili]

Not much, if it's a whole group scandal like April I don't listen to their music, if it's just one member I will still listen to the music but not listen to any solo stuff they have

Depends on the scandal. FTIsland I was on the fence about, but since Hongki does the vast majority of vocals (and his reaction to the news, immediately disowning the leader) it makes it easier. With Ilhoon I will absolutely remain a Melody because what he did he shouldn’t be jailed for. Same to an extent applies to Hanbin and iKon.

if they make good music irdc abt what they did

 

[Abeamus]

Depends on the scandal really, I don't have interest in listening to AOAs music as their scandal badly affected my interest in their music with Jimin having a big part in almost all of their titles however I still listen to Big Bangs here and there because Seungri was basically not there in the songs anyway.

 

[RandAlThor]

depends on the dust up, and if i cared in the first place.

Irene for example i did not care about at all so no impact.
Tiffany i understood but no impact.

AoA i will still watch Bingle bangle

but 9/30 killed kpop over all pretty hard for months ( i still listened but disengaged other wise.)

r kelly i was not a fan of other than i believe i can fly and that is dead now.

 

[Tickita]

I dropped Seungri. I dropped Eddy Kim and I'm not sure if I'll listen to him again yet.

 

[Magician]

It really depends on the scandal
If it's something like Seungri or even Kris did, then I immediately delete their music

 

[Kamistar]

but 9/30 killed kpop over all pretty hard for months

Same here That day made things lose the magic to me, I dropped kpop for a while

 

[lexus]

I can’t really listen to an AOA song the same way again since the whole bullying mess that took place, so I try to avoid listening to them

Honestly depends on the scandal.
I lost my ult to a scandal and fought for months to get him back, despite kfans totally writing him off.
Guess who's back and thriving?
That said, there are some scandals that aren't forgivable.
Thankfully I've never really had to deal with any of those with idols I stan, but if they did something morally unforgivable, I'd drop 'em in a heartbeat.

Outside of kpop, though, I have definitely dropped whole groups because one member did something unforgivable. A good example there is the Welsh band Lostprophets. I don't suggest Googling their scandal unless you have a VERY strong stomach.

Wonho??? I thought you said a long time ago, he simply left???

He left, but it all started with multiple targeted scandals against him & other members of the group. There was really no other option for him, aside leaving.
