Problematic kpop stuff atm:

Non kpop fans using kpop to make profit (e.g. reacting to kpop bcos they know it's fame).

Overseas interviewers and hosts being absolutely inappropriate, disrespectful or simply ignorant and unaware of cultural differences.

Problematic fansites with stalking behaviour, and the people who support them regardless because they don't wanna miss a single moment in their faves lives.

People being absolutely obsessed and over-supportive, also resulting in trash talking other groups .

On the other hand people who hate on artists in the bands they stan, calling them out for things no one should be judged for/being disrespectful af ("Don't eat this you'll get fat"/"You look old").

People in general being butthurt because of matters that aren't of their concern - idols dating or meeting friends etc, none of our goddamn business.

Companies being way too focused on money inflow and hence completely ignoring that it should be "quality over quantity" and not the other way round.

Way too many comebacks per group in a too short period of time, causing the music to lack and the idols to suffer.

Companies not letting idols rest at all and idols looking starved and being overworked.

The neverending story of some armies fighting everyone and everyone fighting armies.

Specific fandoms being overdramatic making a fuss outta everything.

Other fandoms being super fanatic and making their idols the center of their life ("no matter how bad my day is, if one of XY posts a selca I'm instantly happy again" dafuq dudes why are you like this).

Underrated groups still not gaining any attention, which simply is due to the fact that there are way too many groups and the competition is too high.

My fave company (not), MMT, being absolute dickheads and exploiting people.

Disrespectful idiots thinking they have to analyse idols' sexual orientation - a simple reminder: idols are strangers to you, and you neither know what's happening in their life, nor should you dig so deep into their privacy and spread their alleged sexual orientation. No one does that about you, so you pls keep your distance and don't do it to others ffs.

People literally spamming the feeds with smut - I do not mind smut, however if I search for normal content I want normal content, and in some fandoms' cases you first have to scroll through 929202 smuts before you get a single normal post like pls guys tag your stuff appropriately and use the "read more" function I beg you.

Somehow I feel like the fandom is getting idk more serious and less funny with every day...where are all the crack videos, what happend to the derp culture idk man but my feeds are full with "omg oppa is the most beautiful man" and "can your idol do that?" and "thread of xy's hands". Like sorry but we've had funnier times tbh what happened.

I think that's it for now, but what I wanna say with this: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. I know we cannot change what companies do, but we can change our own behaviour so pls guys. There is so much we can change to avoid so many of these struggles. Just reflect your own behaviour and think before you do sth, that already helps a lot tbh.

i wonder what current 4th gen groups are gonna go on to still be around in 7 years, like which ones are gonna be the ones that become classic mainstays in the industry... like there’s the obvious ones that’ll be there unless something happens to them like itzy, g idle, izone (if they are made permanent, but even if not like the members will still be mainstays im sure, wherever they end up), loona (fingers crossed!), and other popular groups, but i hope there’s some wildcards that we wouldn’t expect right now too lol. 

if you had to pick five that you think are the most likely to become classic veteran groups, there’s probably a bunch you wouldn’t include, but what if one of those does make it? like what if bvndit or cherry bullet end up just continuously building momentum and maybe have a really big breakout song one day that cements them as one of the most iconic girl groups of the fourth gen? even though at the moment they’re underrated and relatively unknown by the generic public outside of people like us who follow what’s going on haha. i wonder about that stuff when i watch these groups, and i hope they all make it that far, i would never wish that any group doesnt make it! like when im watching a cignature performance or something, part of me wonders if i’ll still be seeing them performing as cignature in 5 or 6 years, you know? 

and i really hope so, i think every group has the potential for it, it seems fairly unpredictable though, a lot of raw luck is involved in what songs and groups blow up. plenty of fantastic songs just dont see the audience that they deserve and that’s a shame. plenty of idols who have the talent to be some of the most iconic it-girls and soloists of this generation just... for whatever reason... don’t happen to be put in front of as many eyes and ears as they should. sometimes it’s the company’s fault, sometimes it’s lackluster production and budget not showcasing their talents enough, or sometimes it’s just simply down to luck :(((( 

like imagine exid without that fancam that changed their lives... they had everything you could possibly ask for from a group, but that’s what it took for people to finally see that. sometimes it’s down to random things like that, and it makes me wonder what random things will happen to unexpected groups that we know about, i’m excited to be along for this ride lol

SMTOWN in DUBAI 180406 - ENDING SM FAMILY

[kpopmakesmequestionmylifechoices]

Random opinion: It should be forbidden that kids under 16 become idols. Honestly said there shouldn't even be trainees younger than 16. I mean, in the past there were some idols debuting at a very young age (Jisung from NCT for example), and now that maknae from the I-Land group is ... 14. Without being dramatic, I consider this child labor. It's a difference if you idk... deliver newspapers once a week, or if you work the entire day at the company/practice room ya know... It's basically full time labor without getting paid. And that at the age of 14. Questionable.

Moreover what's with education tho? How can such a young person manage school and training and working at the same time? As we've seen in the past many of the super young idols didn't graduate and dropped outta school because it was not possible to attend classes due to the lack of time. Questionable.
