Snowflake🎀 625 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It occurred to me that more then half of the KPOP fans I know IRL and online have depression, some have serious suicide thoughts. I always wondered why this is? Perhaps someone with reverent knowledge in the area can shed some light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAE ZONE 10,428 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 it's a case of people with certain issues or things lacking in their life (whether it be loneliness or depression, etc) turn to something to make them happy / not feel lonely, etc. in fandom, you can make friends and are entertained. fun distractions from life.

rich witch 20,592 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think kpop help people with depression... That's why this. as for me, with depression along with other things, k-pop really helped me to cope with it and pull through the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexâš¡Thunder 616 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think people with depression get so clingy to celebrities and they use them as a source of happiness. Also, people who spend too much on forums, usually have some insecurities and issues (not necessarily depression but it's one of them) I honestly think it's too easy for teens and the youth in general to fall into depression these days.

sora ✾ 2,883 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 really? Maybe because it serves as kind of an escape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenny 2,917 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 every fandom has its share of depressed individuals. for me, and for many, we all seek an escape for it so things like kpop, Harry Potter, Supernatural, etc, they all serve as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denizen mars 5,911 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It's less that kpop fans in particular are depressed and more that kpop fans are young, and more young people are open about being depressed these days.There's more understanding and lessening stigma around mental health issues today than in the past.

mysunandmoon 2,266 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Depressed people are often drawn to introverted hobbies, I would count kpop as one of those. Watching music programmes and variety shows simulates the act of human interaction without the stress of actually enacting it, and places like forums give people a lot more control over the environment in which they socialise. Honestly, kpop is not a great place for young people who are depressed, as they are so easily influenced by what they see and hear, particularly the emphasis kpop places upon looks concerns me for those people.

Nowhere Boy 2,431 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thinking about Ladies' Code makes me really sad, but other than that K-Pop makes me happy. It's a hobby of mine and there is just so much to it. There's always a group coming back and that makes me really happy. there are also tons of groups I haven't even listened to yet that I plan on listening to. Just thinking about all of the K-Pop I plan on listening to makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIwol 1,017 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Kpop actually help me forget about my problems and stress, reducing the chances of my panic attack . . .

never ever 273 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Maybe depressed people like the pure, archetypical feelings depicted in a lot of k-pop songs. I think that's it for me anyway. And find comfort in idols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
