-first of all, it seems like every other week there’s news of groups disbanding or someone leaving their group. It absolutely SUCKS to hear that sort of news even if it’s not a group you stan. Oftentimes there’s also an idol getting lots of hate for the dumbest thing imaginable like dating. If you follow kpop news you are just constantly bombarded with negativity and it gets exhausting.
-I also got really sick of how ruthless people are towards idols when they make mistakes like Beomhan or Jake when the whole necklace thing happened. Like, no, I wouldn’t say what they said or did is right but people also need to calm down. What idols do might be wrong but we are all humans. We all have and will do things we are not proud of. I think it’s fair to say we need more compassion and grace towards idols. However, we don’t so if you follow news you’ll be consistently seeped in so much unnecessary drama and overblown hate. It got so draining to see idols getting villainized and for what they did to be treated as some sort of unforgivable sin.
-you don’t have to hear about fanwars or other stupid drama. It gives you a lot of distance from other people’s idiocy and pettiness.
-and last but not least it prevents you from going down stressful and deep rabbit holes like the whole Loona or Omega x situation. Getting involved or closely following these sort of long and/or complicated issues is not worth the emotional investment or energy.
TLDR: distancing yourself from kpop news protects you from a lot of negativity and stress.
