redheart 7,440 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 One thing that always bothered about liking kpop is that it's fucking shallow, everything is all about appearances plastic surgery and the fact that you have low to no chances of succeding if you don't match the cookie-cutter looks evebody is free to get ps if they want,I don't care what people do, with their faces and bodies but it's just frustrating to always be looking at the same kind of people like would a little bit a diversity kill you? plus it give unrealistic standards to korean girls And boys then you have their whole system with slave contracts, insane working hours and schedules pressure coming from fans and companies to be a flawless human being which is just not possible dating bans like the fuck, I never understood that concept isn't dating part of your private life? what does it have do to with you ability to perform and do your job? plus the sole point of kpop just about making money like I love buying kpop merch I think they are incredibly well crafted and I like to think that I buy them for all the people that worked hard on it but then I can't help but feel bad because I'm basically giving my money to rich old men that don't give a fuck about creativity and all the groups I stan are basically just a product of marketing researches and in a way there's nothing genuine about it all I know some of things I said higher are not only true to the kpop world and it's just capitalism in general that works this way but when I buy cheap clothes made that a poor chinese child it's because I have no choice I don't have enough money to be buying clothes from fair trade and I can't go around walking naked especially when it's cold, but I mean liking kpop and feeding into the system is not mandatory sometimes when I consider all of these I just feel bad about being a kpop fan but I just love entertainment too much sorry if this comes off as being super serious lol it's not as though if I stop staning kpop groups and supporting them all of this will stop anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Pulses 3,955 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 On the rare occasion I see some fans acting cringey and doing/saying things that are straight up embarrassing. Especially if it's happening in person, like they're in front of me acting all weaboo. Or even when they're being problematic in general. Then yes, I regret being a part of this world.

crush2NE1 2,318 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Not at all. Besides, it's not like Korea's the only country with a superficial music industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why single out Kpop? it's true pretty much every entertainment business is superficial but I don't actively support western artists like I do with my favorite kpop groups plus I feel like in north America for instance you have a higher chance to make even if you don't have a contract with a recording company but in Korea, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with kpop yeah I think its more superficial, you just have to have a pretty face and youre pretty much set. I find making it in America way harder. Could you imagine some of those visual kpop idols making it in America with their ''talent'' So if I were you I wouldnt think about it so hard those thoughts arent gonna make you happy~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Moon 7,229 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I cant relate thankfully, my faves dont have slaves contracts, they have freedom at the moment to create their stuff, if im not mistaken they dont have a date ban, they did not have ps as far as im concerned and they are happy with what they are doing. Yes they were put together but they are far from being a product. Its all good at the end for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandy kayne 46 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 No. Not really. I might be embarassed to talk about it with my non kpo-liking friends but I don't feel bad for liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxunnieSuperOppa 5,997 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 No, not really. To some companies (and some unfortunate groups) it may be about competition and money but we see our idols are genuinely happy. They're living their dream and even though it has some setbacks, it's all apart of their journey. That's why I can't feel bad for liking kpop. Not mention the same could basically could basically be applied to other groups like in western music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
