AgentGrimstone,

Sadly this is common. I used to have Kpop news on my feed but had to unsubscribe. I couldn’t take the ridiculous amount of whining over every little thing from Kpop fans.

Underwaterbob,

Korean “netizens” are brutal. This is barely scratching the surface of the madness. At least they haven’t driven this celebrity to suicide. Yet.

Clbull,

Japanese netizens can be similarly brutal towards girls in the idol industry.

I am really glad that “Oshi no Ko” threw light at the creepy behind the scenes part of entertainment industry and how prevalent the problem is.

mindbleach,

It follows a doctor and his recently deceased patient who were reborn as twins to a famous Japanese pop idol […]

For fuck’s sake, this story did not need to be an isekai, let alone a double isekai. A generation of artists treats that genre like the paper you draw on.

Blackmist,

Her “fans” are deranged and she should feel unsafe around them.

AAA,

If you sell an illusion you have to deal with both the delusional and disillusioned.

Dagwood222,

Gadzooks, that’s poetical to the max!

TIMMAY,

help i locked my keys in my car

mellowheat,

Well happy International Women’s Day, everybody!

Zahille7,

Wow. I had to Google it after reading your comment.

jaschen,

Nothing new. A famous Hong Kongnese celebrity name Andy Lau has kept his marriage and wife a secret for over 25+ years.

In Chinese society, celebrities are a product and they are not allowed to taint the product.

Doesn’t seem like a very well kept secret lmao

jaschen,

Ya, I remember back in the 90s when he was initially “caught”, and people were so mad at him.

fine_sandy_bottom,

We can all agree that this is a shitty industrial practice but, is she a beneficiary or a victim?

I guess she’s both to varying extents, and it depends how much she benefits while being exploited.

SuddenDownpour,

If you have three hours to spare, here’s a very interesting documentary explaining South Korea’s current gender issues. It also provides a very decent historical and cultural background:

kandoh,

I accept her apology

sin_free_for_00_days,

Wait!@! What? She has a boyfriend? Does that mean that NOW I don’t have a chance of being her one?

cordlesslamp,

Well, boyfriends doesn’t live forever, don’t they?

fine_sandy_bottom,

Well they doesn’t if they’d irradiated?

BlackNo1,

south korea fucking sucks

threeduck,

Damn I didn’t know

someacnt_,

Ikr. I freaking have to live through it…

sheogorath,

You are/were an idol?

someacnt_,

No, I do not mean that. I rather meant, this kind of “minding others’ business” is prevalent.

suction, (edited )

The idol / boy group / girl group business everywhere fucking sucks, in Japan as well. Nothing but predatory people and practices and a dumb-as-bread fanbase who’s bamboozled by the veneer of exoticism into thinking it’s all fun and games. Look at Japan where “Johnny” Kitagawa built a boy-idol empire to be able to rape hordes of teenagers and then basically enslave them with contracts into making a fortune for him. And nothing happened for decades despite everybody knowing what’s going on with him, because, “oh gosh, aren’t they funny and pretty and happy boys”? In Japan and South Korea, if you’re a rich old man, you can rape kids by the dozen and the worst that will happen to you is have to pay them some hush money if they publicly accuse you. Western otakus don’t know what fucking dirty businesses they support and glorify.

chatokun,

America too, if you look at the guy who ran boy bands like NSync.

suction,

It’s always the same, and it’s also obvious, but it’s kept going by the support from fans who don’t give a shit.

smh why the kpop folk be trippin like they all weird as shit

Zahille7,

Because they are

ser,

She doesn’t need to apologize for having a personal life.

This has happened with a few streamers hasn’t it? It coming out they had a BF and they basically lost their viewership?

Happening right now with Yuuko Yurei, she stopped doing girlfriend experience content and switched to vlogs and stuff, she’s plummetting. Very hard to leave after you captivated this audience, since the people that don’t like the former content already left a long time ago.
