. the dichotomy of kpoppers .
many kpop fans are aware of the present controversies and troubles in the industry and general fandoms, but I'd say most are hiding behind others. bigger names (with more of a following) in the kpop fandoms who form opinions and share them online on platforms such as, youtube, tiktok, etc.. those who need the opinions of others are will use this to clank to any sort of numbers as an advantage and base to spread hate. then there are those who will spread positive opinions, even when something is receiving much hate and will attract many kpoppers in joining their views of certain situations and comebacks.
you may be curious as to why I've brought attention to this. but I want to address the geniuine cowardice of many kpoppers, not because it aggravates me, but because it spreads so much negativity to artists.
the kpop industry has very unseen culture and engagement, which brings out different sides of people, and we can see that the majority of kpoppers see idols as docile people to unleash their anger upon and to bully for their own problems insensitively. and for that-- distinguishing between kpoppers who listen to kpop because they genuinely like it, and those who "listen" to kpop for the hate culture of it isn't a problem.
I'm not saying you shouldn't address idols for their controversies (especially if they involve racial insensitivity), but many just nitpick every single action from idols. who are constantly on camera and showcased. they've chosen to work towards this point in their career, but they're also humans, who are always being filmed. consider if you had an irrelevant moment of yours replayed on the internet for sasaengs and obsessive kpoppers to over analyze and obsess over? it's just weird seing the disgusting behavior from netizens who may even fail to address their own humanity.
don't believe in these problems? we can take a look at some idols!
