omg the anon about their friend moving to Korea to become a Kpop star is literally just like my friend who loves Kpop LMAOOO she is moving to Korea instead of going to college and is going to audition for a whole bunch of companies with minimal training.... she also writes all her Instagram posts in Korean, has a 'Korean name', only likes Asian guys now, and uses random Korean words in everyday life. i cringe every time she says yeoboseyo or counts in Korean
Ok so there’s this girl I sit with in my English class and she is a full on koreaboo. She has stated on countless occasions that she feels she was meant to be born Korean. Her face always looks greasy but to her it’s the trendy dewy skin Korean girls try to achieve. She always talks about kpop but as soon as someone else starts talking about the music they’re interested in, koreaboo says “shut up nobody cares about your music tastes.” I’m a no bullshit kind of person so I’ve pointed out that claiming to be Korean is disrespectful to actual Koreans because it’s generalising their culture. Being Korean isn’t a trend. Koreaboo’s argument was “I’m Korean on the inside.” Yikes. Worst of all, a new kid started at our school. He’s Asian (I’m guessing Vietnamese) but whether he is or not, koreaboo has already fallen in love with him and refers to him as ‘senpai’. Apparently she 'sarangs’ him. I’m so sick of white people’s bullfuckery which is saying a lot since I’m white myself.
I have a friend let’s call him E, who has a Korean native friend, S. Both are good looking and fashionable they can easily pass as an idol. They’re quite popular on Instagram and have relatively huge active female followers. Now, E isn’t Korean at all, but all the thirsty females keep commenting oppa here and oppa there on both their Instagram when both of them are fluent in English. It has gotten worse since they found out E was a trainee at one of the Big 3 agencies. As for S, he sometimes goes on Instagram live and when he didn’t respond to comments or questions in Korean that was obviously constructed by Google Translate, they acted pissy. These females usually put that they live in Korea in their bio and put words Koreaboos use as a proof they speak Korean. I’d understand if these are tweens or teenagers, but there are an amount of them who are fully grown adults it’s embarrassing! I know it’s not my place to get irritated considering I’m not Korean myself, but as someone who’s studying the language seriously, it irks me when someone butchers a beautiful language. Heck, I bet both of them are also getting annoyed with the constant threads of “oppa!!1!” comments they get every time they post a picture!
So I’m half Korean and am learning Korean. Ever since K-pop became a big thing people that never talked to me before just started asking me words or phrases in Korean. I don’t think they’re koreaboos yet because they’re still respectful, but sometimes I feel kind of used. Also, some people started called ME a koreaboo and that pissed me off. I’m like “I’m the most Korean person you know, how am I a koreaboo just because I like Korean culture?‘
I met a koreaboo when I was in high school and that person was my junior. She knew I’m a K-Pop fan and she went all hyper up speaking some broken Korean in which I thought was really, really messed up. I got her point but I told her this, “Sorry, I don’t speak Korean.” Even if I can speak I don’t think I am fluent enough to use it because it’s not my first language and I don’t want to offend the Koreans in such manner that a koreaboo would do.
A lot of my school mates are getting into Kpop/Kdrama and even into Korean Culture just because it's a fad and it pisses me off because they're cringy as fuck koreaboos who think it's cute when they do the aegyo(? Idk if this what they call it) thing. I also can't stand my fucking classmates because they keep shouting weightlifting fairy references and watching kdrama in class which leads to them being noisy as fuck and disturbing everyone oh my god i can't even explain further how much it sucks
This tumblr honestly gives me life. I'm so glad to know that there are people(not only Koreans) that get hella annoyed/mad at Koreaboos. i'm very tired of seeing them around my school dressed head to toe in Kpop merchandise and trying to sing/dance to the songs and speak in broken Korean. A girl in my art class actually only talks to Asian people, and keeps trying to talk to the student teacher who is Hawaiian but has pale skin... At this point my brother and I just hide when we see one.
I've visited your blog a lot, and it's nice to see that you're trying to teach and keep koreaboos in their place. As someone who is Asian myself, I dislike the fact that kboos and asiaboos fetish and stereotype Asian culture. Earlier today in my choir, a bunch of white girls were talking about their plans to go to South Korea "to find a cute Korean guy" and "probably go to Japan too because I heard it's like anime world over there". Made me and my friend cringe in disgust.
Okay, so there’s this girl that I used to be extremely close to, we got along really well and had lots of fun and jokes with each other. I knew that she liked Anime, so I thought I could perhaps introduce her to K-Pop. I told her about how I really like K-Pop, to which she replied that she listened to it when she was 8, but only a little bit (this was actually a lie lmaooo). At the time, I thought this was awesome, as one of my good friends could also like K-Pop. So, I told her about my bias group, BTS, and she looked disappointed at the fact that she had no idea who they were, she also seemed annoyed that I, quote on quote, “knew something more Asian than her”. So stupid. Anyway, almost a year passed, it’s Feb 2017 now, and she started sending me snapchats of her listening to BTS, SEVENTEEN, etc. I got so happy, she liked K-Pop and I thought it would be nice to share a common interest like this with one of my closest friends. However, if I’m quite honest, it grew to be really awful.
She was already a weeaboo to begin with.
- She told me that she wouldn’t care about the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki if it wasn’t for the fact that it was the Japanese that had been bombed.
- She got excited one time when, for whatever reason, I said something along the lines of “….if this happened you would be Japanese.”
- She always jokingly called herself a weeaboo to conceal the fact that she really was one.
- Whenever someone said “Japan” she would scream Japanese phrases and common words or would grab her trusty Japanese dictionary and start looking for words.
- Told me she would make me a weeaboo if it was the last thing she did.
- Claimed to be of Asian descent because one of her very distant relative is Chinese, (like centuries back.)
But then she slowly became a koreaboo, then eventually just an “asiaboo”. She got obsessed with a boy in my year for the pure fact that he was Chinese and she even went to the extent of singing Chinese songs about love to him. She would scream Korean songs down my ears just to make a point that “Hey I know this song! Wow Asia!”, it also gets annoying when trying to work. She also on a few occasions sang that annoying Gwiyomi song to me and would write down Korean, Japanese and Chinese words.
To be honest, I really want her to act normal again, we used to be really close, but now I dread the lessons I have to sit next to her in, because I know that a sh*t storm of Japanese, Korean and Chinese is coming my way. She used to be a great friend of mine, but now she makes me feel so uncomfortable with her Asian ‘fetish’. I so badly want to tell her than the way she acts is wrong and annoying, but I really don’t know how, as I did tell her on one occasion, but she has blatantly ignored it and continued to 'bombard’ me with her Asian addiction.
My only hope of actually 'escaping’ her, is by requesting to sit elsewhere in my classroom or waiting until next year, and choosing to sit next to those who won’t go crazy on me.
wish me luck.
so theres this kid I know whos chinese. she has no relation to korea whatsoever, except she thinks she is korean. she's obsessed with kdramas and kpop, but to such an extreme level. she goes around saying aish, screaming about how kpop is her whole life, like literally she has nothing else in her life except for korean dramas and music and she always flaunts it. she calls people unnie and the worst part, SHE AND HER MOM TEXT IN KOREAN. her mom is chinese. she is chinese. also, her mom is rich and her parents spoil her. so instead of realistic parents who tell her that she is chinese, not korean, they instead feed her obsession!
forget what I said before about the korean texting being the worst part. the worst part is that she AUDITIONED FOR SM ENTERTAINMENT because she wants to be a k-pop star, not because she even likes music, but because she wants to be among her oppars. she even bleached her whole head to be more like a k-pop idol, she talks to everyone in half korean, is spoiled by her parents with merch, it's just such an atrocious sight. she's such a koreaboo. it's extremely cringey. she posts on snapchat in korean, texts her mom in korean, god damn. and she only likes, like, two groups (BTS and GOT7) but she plans on moving to korea to fulfill her koreaboo dreams.
last year, my friend said she couldn't afford to go to a bts concert and you know what this koreaboo says? she calls my friend a disloyal fan because you know we actually have budgets. it's okay though, this year she's passing up diamond tickets to kcon because she says she wants to "SAVE MONEY FOR WHEN I TRAVEL TO KOREA". god fucking damn.
she won't get in. the only thing she has going for her is a pretty face, no talent, and even if she does make it i doubt she'll go far with her sole reason being an obsession with the korean entertainment industry. however, she has a backup plan. she said that if she doesn't make it into SM then she'll go for JYP.
one of my koreaboo friends just brought some hand cream from etude house and the shipping was like $20 for a $5 product (we live in australia) and i can't comprehend why she did that? she can buy way better products for much cheaper im sure of it but she said 'because it's korean it has to be good' which is just stupid tbh. i feel bad for her parents to have to pay for this stuff lol
tell her so, or better yet, tell her where to find better deals...
@korean name anon: I'd agree that making one for yourself is kinda...eh. But if you have a particularly difficult name to pronounce, Koreans might just give you a nickname that's easier for them to say. When I studied in Korea, my friends had a hard time saying mine so they gave me one that meant the same as my actual name. I suggest only doing so if Korean people themselves say so.
there was this one time in grade 7 where we had to think of our own dynasties (complete w/ laws and standards) in groups. when we all finished, presentation time came. Enter group 4. In it were 2 boys and 4 girls (the girls were kpop fans, btw). They started off with; "It was a peaceful land, ruled by King (kpop idol from bts here) and his beautiful wife, queen Allyson." (Allyson was their group leader) and it just went downhill from there. It was an experience I may never forget from grade 7.

hi, i was just wondering, would it be offensive for a non-korean person to choose a korean name for themselves? Bc ive met many people that do that...i personally have debated doing this(adopting a korean name as kind of a nickname) for when i go to korea in a few years, so that i can introduce myself as something easier for koreans to pronounce(i will probably just adopt the korean equivalent of my name). Would this be offensive/koreaboo like?
there’s really no reason to pick up a korean name if you’re not korean... you’ll notice that plenty (maybe all??) of non-korean (and even international korean) celebrities or public figures keep their native names and korean ppl learn to pronounce them just fine. so yes it would be offensive / koreaboo to do so
So I really enjoy Kpop but one of my best friends takes it too far. She's decided to not go to college, move to Korea for a year, and try to become a Korean Idol. (We're both white, seniors in highschool, and race asides-- she has little to no training in any of the performing arts necessary to survive in the industry.) Needless to say, I'm a tad worried for her.
anon please tell me you have an update, im dying to know.
Ok so I'm very inlove with a fighting game franchise called "Tekken". In-game, there's a fighter by the name of 'Anna Williams'. As far as I know, she's Irish/American. Now here's the bad part; for her outfit, the devs gave her a red Qipao. Does this count as cultural appropriation/accessorization?
sorry but i think this is the wrong place to ask....................................
I'm not quite sure where this fits, but this seemed to be the best place to ask. My boyfriend is korean -- born, raised, etc -- and he always really wants me (not korean but chinese) to call him oppa. I'm not sure whether that's appropriate or not. Thoughts?
if he asks you to do it then it’s fine just don’t go around calling everyone oppa
