kpop apologies in a nutshell (3 Viewers)

[amourpinks]

If you mean the guy that types "apology letter example" on google and copies the first result

Ig that can qualify as pr team

im also talking about the people who think that a one month sns ban automatically solves all the problems that their fans or the gp had with the idol in the first place.

It's like when western celebrities get found out for being racist in the past and they say "it was a phase" 💀

I feel like they all use the same template and it's a really horrible one

I feel like that with this recent one for example

Even if it's sincere, they make it so formal, almost like a speech to a crowd with carefully chosen words and stuff

It feels like when a teacher forces a student to apology to the class

yikes and this man still has a career?

Super Junior fans are used to stuff like that, they're quite a controversial group in a lot of ways

I realize that but some of their scandals make me question why they have fans in the first place.

Heechul, has to be Heechul. Sure there are other members of SJ which surprisingly stayed out of trouble, but hard to get no fans when there is a gravitational force dragging fans in. As for older fans, well, lets just say they even had the power to move SM. They're the original scary fans which would happily sink a knife into your back for talking bad about SJ. Lets not get into the crimes of older SJ "fans".

hmm so I guess a lot of their scandals got covered... I mean no offense to super junior fans but i think they have to be the most problematic kpop group I've seen since i joined the kpop community in 2017. I can understand older fans still being attached but I don't understand how they could still be gaining new fans even if heechul is unproblematic.

I'd prefer being a Heechul akgae xD

I think a current gen group wouldnt get away with all that

Maybe if one group becomes very big and then starts going controversial, idk if we'll ever see that

Long time loyalty, emotional attachment play a lot into it. Also they've been through a lot themselves, which softens their image in the eyes of many fans. Ofc 2 time DUI Kangin is no longer in the group, but I guess fans are willing to give them a 2nd chance in light of some of their past scandals.

Also, for all their faults, they're a very talented group and fun to watch on varieties, I'm not trying to appeal for Suju here just explaining why they have so many fans lol.

Funny thing Heechul isn't no angel and he admits that. He admited he was a little sht in the past though ironically he's the one now staying out of trouble. It's about time more SJ members get married but... ...

BTS could do it, they seem to have a "police force" of sorts which will try to get BTS to take responsibility, but honestly take taht away the only sin BTS could do is marry. BTS don't you dare make that unforgivable sin of marrying and being happy.

even though bts have had some controversies, they've apologized for most and none of them have been as bad as some of sujus scandals. like you said te only thing that bts could do to lose fans is fuck up really badly which they haven't done too much, or marry. but even then bts have never had a dating scandal so we don't really know how their fans would react.

I'm just saying if any group could get away with being trouble makers today, it would be BTS. Not saying that they are, I am just saying should they decide to embrace the dark side one day.

oh yeah your right. well tbh any group with a big fandom could survive being trouble makers. exo as well could probably survive.

however, I don't think anyone would be able to have as many fans if they were pulling off the stuff that suju were doing. I think the trouble that bts and exo would get away with would be minimal compared to what they did.

SM shoved Taeyong in front of a camera to apologize for something he didn't even do (and was proven to be fake)

was it the gay thing because I thought he admitted to it?

No
His scam allegations when he was about to debut in 127. He apologized in NCT Life, cried his eyes out and later fans found proof that people orchestrated the whole thing. Some TYongF even say that he apologized to his members, not his 'victims'. He said "To those of you I hurt, I'm sorry". It is kind of a thing open for interpretation.
The gay thing was cleared up when the friend in question came out and said TY was joking and they had jokes like these running between them.
Nothing was ever admitted on TY's side. Even the bullying scandal. Wikitree said he apologized with a small reporter but SM, with so many connections, wouldn't use a small reporter, they'd hire a big one to report on it and you can post whatever you like on WikiTree as it's anonymous. They have previously posted wrong stuff about Yeri and such.

aww, that kinda sucks but yeah it kinda goes to show that some companies will just force kpop idols to apologize instead of actually investigating the situation.

it kinda also reminds me of the tzuyu situation. I felt so bad for her because you could tell that she was mentally not there because she was being forced to apologize for something that she shouldn't have to apologize for.

 

[blueberries]

Worst apology in kpop is definitely the video with Tzuyu where she looks like hostage

SM is so lazy when it comes to Taeyong. The bullying scandal they just said "we let his parents look into it and he never got a report for bad behavior"
TYongF find more than SM in just a day time (well his haters aren't the smartest out there anyways)

Em I the only one who thinks forced apologizes, especially ones that turn out for fake things, only cheapen future appologize for the company? I mean, you know the company is going to make the person apologize one way or another. Doesn't make it sound like any sincere thought went in,

Wasn't two kpop stars called out recently because their apology seemed to similar?
