how do Idol scandals change how much you listen to their music? (2 Viewers)

If it's completely unforgivable, like April or AOA (especially Jimin, she was my bias! tsk tsk tsk), I'd immediately delete all the song I have by them and never listen to them again. But if we're talking something like Jungkook's recent (rumored? Haven't kept updated since I saw that Koreaboo article) "under-the-table advertising" scandal or Lia's whatever-it-was scandal, I'll forgive them and keep listening.

It also depends outside of K-pop. Nick Carter got arrested for getting into a bar fight iirc in 2002, but he's since taken responsibility for his actions, so I forgave him. But Justin Timberlake and his Superbowl scandal? CAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNCELED!

like many here said, it depends on the scandal. for example, seungri's 123 was one of my favourite songs of 2018 but i no longer listen to it. stuff like irene or soojin i don't really care. while we're at it i don't support any kpop idols financially or care about their personalities so it's easy for me to acknowledge that a song is good without praising the person behind it.

Se*ngri I removed all his music from my playlists. I also found a playlist on youtube that cut him out of Bigbang songs. He was my very first ult bias in kpop so those news broke me apart, fuck this guy!

I hasn't happened that an idol I stan gets into a scandal, so I cannot say for sure; but I guess it wouldn't affect me much.
