My Bestfriend is a Koreaboo:(


Chicken Popcorn

Recommended Posts

Me and my friend has known each other for almost 10 years. Several years ago, we both got into kpop... Yes we acted like newbies that time (as how newbies act) but after several months, i started cooling down and stayed within my fandom only.

 

However, my friend, she gets worse and becoming more and more like a newbie. Everytime someone mentions "Kpop" or "korea" she goes crazy. If someone mentions a kpop group, she will start singing and dancing to the group's song. She also says korean phrases even though she cant speak fluent korean. She says things like "eodi?" "nugu?" and such.

 

It's kinda annoying tbh, especially that she acts like she knows and likes every kpop group. She steals people's bias and act like she knows more about them (when she doesnt). She's kinda like those not loyal fans that only like the group when they're famous and unstans when they are going downhill. She once told me she wants to like rookie A around their debut time. But then, their debut kinda fails and she removes rookie A's name from her twitter bio and starts stanning rookie B. I'm so annoyed by this fact because I'm also a fan of rookie A and it hurts honestly.

 

She's the type of fan that likes a group for the credit. Like "OMG YOURE A FAN OF THIS GROUP?! YOURE SO AWESOME" kinda thing.... Right now, she's using kpop to make friends with people. She acts like she knows everything about korea and kpop when she dont. like let's be real, being a kpop fan does not make us know everything about korea....
 

 

help me what should i do?? i tried telling her several times but she gets mad at me and keeps doing it.

I have a friend like this also and honestly it's very difficult to change them. Don't let her bother you and be like you always are which is awesome and supportive whilst being loyal to groups despite what they go through.

 

She'll either soon grow out of it or just continue spiralling into that path. Remind her a few times, sit down with her and explain how it's affecting you and your friendship. If she doesn't understand, you're just going to have to be less closer to her. People will change for the worst or for the better, you can stick around if you want but in the end it's their decision whether to continue acting like that or not.

 

Just don't force yourself to tolerate them or change them. Good luck <3

Lol that sucks

 

When my close friend became a koreaboo, I told her that she was embarrassing herself and she got a little mad at me but after a day of thinking about it she realized I was right. If you guys know each other for so long I think she can handle the truth from someone close to her.

 

I remember when I was in like 3rd grade in my anime phase I almost turned to the weeaboo side but my sister was like "stfu you're annoying af" and that helped.

 

Honesty is key

break up with her. you don't like her as a friend anymore. it seems like she's more of a nuisance to you. she can find better friends don't worry. friends that would accept her as her and would tolerate and make fun of her at the same time. that's the friend that she needs and you don't want to get sucked into her world so might aswell gtfo. friends drift apart and you have to accept that and thats part of life.

Ooooh reminds me of this Koreaboo/Weaboo I knew from school. I used to spazz and fangirl with her about kpop but then she became the delulu koreaboo/weaboo she is now. She claims she's fluent in Korean and Japanese but bitch I know you're struggling in that Japanese 3 class. Also she's got a bad case of yellow fever and will only date Asians.

If you are really best friends then you should be able to tell her what is bothering you ..

 

 

I mean what's holding you from telling her? Her reaction? Are you afraid she will stop being your friend? Well if that's your reason you might need to sit down and really think about how close you two are. Because best friends should be able to tell eachother anything ..espcially when the other is acting like an idiot.

I used to be in that exact same phase when I was an anime fan, and luckily I grew out, but it was very embarrassing.

 

Like another user has said though, honesty and communication is key; if you guys are truly friends, then you guys would probably be able to sit down and have a talk about it. Also, she'll grow out of it, I can tell you that. Give it some time, but at least tell her your feelings.
