Some fans live their idols so much that they often forget they are ultimately human who sings, dances and performs on stage . Literally, I just saw a video the other day where new jeans members were singing in their soulful voices and people in the comment section were like ‘Imagine sabotaging a group that was kind, sweet and could actually sing’. So?? Yes NJ sings and dances well does that mean they cannot do anything wrong?That’s how parasocial relationships are deeply ingrained in the kpop industry.
When any kpop idols relationship rumors circulate some ppl will be like ‘Imagine you are 32 and your dating rumor is a scandal’, ‘I wonder why people in their late 20s and 30s can’t date freely’. Bro call it victim blaming or what ever you want. Why can’t some fans see that kpop companies and idols deliberately promote parasocial relationships, in many ways. In fact parasocial fans are an important element in the kpop business, it is an industry that revolves on studying behavioural finance and consumer spending habits. So, I don’t see idols as the only victim in the entire scenario. Infant, some fans are also victims in such cases. You cannot milk your parasocial fanbases money when needed and then wonder why they are upset when your dating news gets revealed.
