I feel like kpop fans sometimes forget that some idols are adults not kids

[Balancetonquoi]

alot of idols are 18+ yo they are adults not kids. its so weird when I see a kpop fans saying

''omg my poor baby is crying we must protect '' when the guy is like 25 or something ... the f+ck...

[denizen mars]

hey now, I'm 26 and sometimes I feel like a poor baby that needs to be protected 

 

but yeah fans do talk about idols like they're children sometimes....but can you blame them when the industry actively infantilizes them too?

[UMJI MOODS]

Sometimes baby just means baby.

Not me, Yoona is a granny and Yeri is a teen

sexualizing underage lads and gals and acting like parents to dudes/girls of age

 

one of the many essentials that keeps ent industry's gears going 

[rananicolee]

It's so weird when people do that.

Like some fans do it to older idols that are 28+ and it's like "no these are grown ass people; not babies".

[fxfourwalls]

That's honeslty one of the things that I don't like about kpop. But then again it happens elsewhere

Lmao so true

 

It’s gross

[snowdjinn]

yes, i keep saying the same thing.

 

Its funny when they act cute, but fans reallly need to understand that they are adults. i hate it when they say the idol has a problem and the fans need to protect the idols.... as if the idols are some kind of helpless toy puppets or something. Trust me, your idols are adults and they have people around them who help them already. (family, friends, members or a lawyer they pay.)

 

they are not some pets or babies.

 

Actually, being a kpop idol requires growing up quickly and taking responsibilities in life. And i am sure most of their parents are always there for them and help when there is trouble.

[Velveteer]

im an elf and i always see other elfs call suju members “aww so innocent,†“our baby,†like guys they’re all in their thirties now

[Mark Lee]

Shut up, leave my babies alone!

[Peach Macaron]

lol like the people who act like the idols are innocent babies who have never seen a titty or know what porn is like bruh, u really think this person in their 20s is so innocent  especially when you consider the amount of dirty jokes that both guy and girl groups have made

[Gold Digger]

It all depends. I don’t really mind it to a certain extent but it can get cringey sometimes.

[silicon soul]

It's cos the fans are kids, literally in most cases.

[Qüintéssèntiæl Bitçh]

Fans are like 16 years old and they act like they are the parents of the idol. I was like bitch you didn't even finish highschool yet stop that act. But really those idols are not innocent.
