I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but ever since the pandemic, the kpop fans have learnt some new words and phrases and apply it to force their ship or rumored kpop couple (spread by verified chart/kpop/gossip accounts on social media). Now we all know how kpop fans can be delusional and have parasocial relationships with their idols. Specially in South Korea. However, not all fans are like that. And most adult fans actually accept (not that they have to) or assume that their favs are in relationships.
What’s weird is that, new gen kpop fans use this to force their ship or rumored/unconfirmed couple on everyone. Basically they are spreading misinformation about real people. If anyone says this is not true or asks for confirmation, they all chant “they didn’t deny, so it must be true” , “ugh parasocial relationship”, “stop being delulu” . The proof is they wore same brand of clothes, same jacket, went to each other concert, social media interaction , even recommending or dancing to eo songs. I don’t know if it’s some kind of fetish or what but this whole thing is seriously weird. If a kpop idol wants to reveal their relationship with someone, they will do it. If they don’t want it, they won’t. You can’t spread misinformation about an imaginary couple and claim it as some kind of revolution against dating ban. It’s like humiliating idols for their plastic surgery and veneers and say “we just wanna get rid of beauty standard🥺”.
