I’m pretty new to kpop, but grew up like most with experiences in stan twitter/culture etc. But I noticed something unique in kpop spaces, instead of people just saying an idols music isn’t for them, or they dislike a certain music company (which in itself is hilarious) they need to create a moral issue as to why that idol shouldn’t be supported.
For example, RIIZE and it’s members get a lot of hate because of that whole Seunghan issue. Suddenly the actions of SM not protecting it’s idols has to be conflated with the group, so if you support the group you’re supporting SM’s decision. How is that fair? Why is the support of a group suddenly seen as a moral issue about idol rights and how companies treat them?
Annie from ADP, everyone knows her family background and she does nothing to hide it. If I like Annie, why am I being attacked as someone who supports chaebol’s and their existence in Korea, like girl this is KPOP! She is an idol! Why can’t I just support her and her music?
Why do you think its common to do this in kpop spaces? Do you think it is because it is easier for people to right off and justify hate against certain idols if they associate it with a just cause?
