I wonder how skewed male kpop idols view on women is. I've been watching so many of these videos in horror and glee and I cant image that any of them have a healthy view of women if they see these kinds of ogres every time they want to board a plane.
Anyone who thinks idols love their fans are delusional. I would absolutely fucking hate my fans.

Those pictures are the reason people like Mina shouldn't become idols (for their own sake), you need to be extremely calm and strong to not freak out while surrounded like that (same for their staff and bodyguards).

Does anyone know if Koreans actually hype up and worship attractive Koreans in everyday life? Over the years, I've seen idol say, "I was really famous in my town for my looks," and saying that they had a famous nickname or that people would take photos of them. I've also seen it happen in dramas before.
Does anyone know if this is actually a thing in Korean schools and within Korean society in general? It seems really bizarre and kind of pathetic to deify attractive people. It's even weirder to have a mini fanbase or celebrity status in your school because you're attractive. Then again Koreans are really obsessed with looks so that probably explains it if it's true.

Apparently a rapist/incel youtuber said it like that too and that's how fans linked both jungwoo and jaemin to a rapist youtuber. but I saw the compilations fans posted jaem has said it like that since sm rookies time, way before the youtuber existed.
The other evidence was that jungwoo used like a phrase in japanese that is common in korean alt right forums and porn? idk about that, fans said it was misconstrued but idk it that was ever really debunked
Anonymous 7220
>>7219i think it was more so him admitting that he watched the creepy bathroom-cam youtuber, not the way he talked and stuff
he also does use some weird lingo that's usually associated with ilbe-forums, which is korea's version of 4chan essentially, but without all the weeb stuff and with a whole heap of the creepy incel stuff

I actually always found Wayv the worst or the most obvious when it comes to bad dynamics within the group but stans can turn everything into a proof of friendship (or love).

>>7226you can be a misogynist and still date women/want to get your dick wet, jaemin is another one of the ones that is heavily shielded, but after his scandal happened a ton of stuff got dug out.
dude is also likely at the very least a consumer of weird misogynist youtube channels with the way he talks as well as that kimochii "scandal"
and jype mightve had an inkling woojin was a bad egg, frequenting seedy bars etc. but probably didn't have evidence he was a potential rapist/harasser and just wanted to wash their hands of him completely before he did cause an issue
korea is so ass backwards with sexual assault, it would've been impossible for them to prove he was harassing women unless someone came out. i think giving him the boot was the right choice, but who knows, the entire industry is dirty so maybe they did know
Anonymous 7230
Literally why does he do this?
Did he genuinely think that announcing a song would make him look more innocent? Or being backed by a company nobody has every heard about? What was his plan afterwards? Release it on his own or say it was cancelled? His insta has over a million followers, apologizing there and simply taking a lawyer (if he's innocent…) would have also been an option.

the kimochi one is another god-tuk/ilbe alt-right term, and that one is less shield-able, since at the very best case scenario the dude is just into weird ass hentai and thought it was ok to write essentially hentai moans onto a public table, and at the worst knew what he was doing and thought it was funny
i can no longer find the english translation of the twitter thread but here is the korean one which is basically calling him out for imitating the youtuber

>>7232i think you underestimate the notoriety of ilbe in korea, you wouldn't say he's a normal korean man. if he really was an ilbe user it's not just a "normal korean man" thing.
ilbe in korea is essentially a cesspool for alt-right, anti-feminist incels. i mentioned it was similar to 4chan, but that's only because that's the best comparison i could come up with that would make sense to the general public.
it is, in essence an imageboard but the conversation topics are very aggressively incel-heavy and users of the board are almost always immediately categorized as very alt-right individuals and at the very least foster misogynistic tendencies
if you just do mild googling around the notoriety of ilbe, you'll see how nasty it is, as any public individuals who are even remotely linked to potentially using ilbe immediately and adamantly deny use
it's more of a korean fan thing rather than an international fan thing, and everyone defending him was international and don't understand how deeply controversial being linked to this would be.
Anonymous 7236
>>7233Bruh stray kids is nugu as fuck so they probably kept the rapist under wraps for that reason. Nobody even knows of the group so unveiling what he did would have made the entire group look bad, plus it’s pretty disrespectful to the victims to expose him and make them come out with their stories. Based on the reactions to KHJ and other male rapists, we all know how Korean men are with their insistence of false accusations. At least the victims are now coming out on their own terms and at least they kicked him out imo.
Meanwhile self-hating female NCT fans have been covering Jungwoo and Jaemin’s asses for like over a year now by trying to justify their obvious ilbe/alt-right references. I don’t understand why you’d go to such lengths for such loud and proud misogynists but then again I’ve never understood the appeal of stan culture in general. Misogynists shouldn’t have the luxury of strong female fanbases. SM isn’t going to kick them out most likely considering how ugly the rest of the group is.

>>7228Really wayV?? Compared to 127 and dream? Why do you think they have the worst dynamic?
I don't think they are close friends but I always got a relatively chill vibe from them. I do think some there is tension for example
I think Kun hates that whole "mom" image that was placed on him and that the other members keep pushing. They also joke about his age a lot and age him to the point where fans think he's a lot older than he is. Id hate it too if i was trying to be a hot kpop boi but everyone treated me like some surrogate mom to grown men. He's straight up said that the soft image given to him isn't really him.
Also the fact that some members are in Super M is a source of tension. The members mention it a lot about Ten and Lucas liking being in Super M more.
Yangyang, Ten and Lucas seem like VERY ambitious people to me, way more than the others and I definitely sense a lot of tension between those and the others.
Then you have the fact that members of wayv are absurdly wealthy as icing on the cake. They have 7 members and only 3 may not be rich cuz we don't know their background, which idk put a bunch of rich kids together and ur bound to have drama.
Anonymous 7248
>>7247not the op you replied to, but i feel like they have a better dynamic than 127 for sure, but i agree that there's tension there
there's definitely "cliques" in wayv, you can tell just based off who's raising which animals (which honestly is such a dumb idea, raising 3 animals in a cramped ass dorm with hectic schedules)
if anything they're all civil with each other and don't hate each other's guts, but they're definitely not the "family" theyre trying to push off the reality shows etc.
and i thought all of them were filthy rich, who in the group is even considered anything below upper middle class? yangyang is the son of some CEO in taiwan, winwin's family apparently is obscenely wealthy, same with ten, and hendery/lucas/xiaojun/kun seem to have come from very well off families as well
wayv is a group formed purely off of nepotism and rich kids wanting to play idol, so i do agree it wouldn't be surprising if a bunch of brats butted heads bc they all grew up spoiled

>>7248Fans and companies exaggerate idols wealth a lot because in Korea wealthy=more respect, so take it all with a grain of salt. The members that are pretty much confirmed are:
Yangyang, Hendery and Ten are the only ones with pretty solid proof. Yangyangs dad is ceo of a multinational company worth like 350 million or more. Ten has 98479374 pictures of his big house, plus skiining in Switzerland and expensive international school. Also his younger sister was able to start a clothing brand right our of high school so.. Hendery's family is pretty much confirmed by his three sisters instagram accounts, they are all either instagram influencers of super wealthy + they all go to different international schools ect. Also his dad bought him a 40g rolex for his brithday so pretty much confirmed.
Everyone says winwin is rich but no soild proof ever came out. Lots of anecdotes form chinese fans about his family driving a porche and him living in a huge mansion. The only somewhat solid proof is that he has a sister studying in New Zeland. Two children living and studying abroad kind of hints at not an average chinese life? A fan on youtube said that winwin may be poor since no respectable wealthy family would allow their son to do chinese dancing as a career since its pretty much a harsh life and shit pay forever so idk. Anyone whith more info chime in.
Kun, Xiaojun, Lucas are the ones that have no solid proof.
Xiaojun has a brother, was a total theater kid all his life and his dad is a drag queen. None of this really hints at anything? He seemed to come from a pretty comfortable life though.
I don't know anything about Kun.
Luca's story about his dad meeting his mom was weird like his dad seemed to be a businessman with enough money. Also he lived in the exact neighborhood as Got7 Jackson and Jackson was apparently pretty wealthy. Apparently he also visits Thailand every year and "takes a rest in his Thai home". He has to be at least at a comfortable level in life.
So 3 insanely wealthy members, 1 rumored insanely wealthy member 1 that hints at wealth but we can't say for sure, 1 with a comfortable life and 1 we know nothing about.

if anything, none of these wayv kids are anything below middle class, but there's definitely a couple of extremely wealthy ones in the mix
nct is similar–chenle, jaemin, jeno from dream and jaehyun, johnny, and doyoung from 127 have all been known to be wealthy, if not extremely wealthy

Dae think that idols nowadays have an easier time getting successful than ~10 years ago?
They might no longer be on tv or known by the general public but on the other hand even absolute nobodies can easily gain 1+ million followers, meaning they make easy money via endorsements and might get invited to fashion shows etc. Mainstream fame means many followers, but many followers can also lead to mainstream fame, it works both ways.
I always feel sorry when I read how irrelevant many former members of big 2nd generation groups are now, if something like instagram woud have existed back then, they would be doing much better now. If blackpink disbands, the girls are still gonna make a ton, simply because of their huge online fanbases, but that option didn't really exist back then and thus even snsd solos (minus Taeyeon) are flopping. The snsd girls are 30 now, the members of kara, sistar, 4minute, f(x), wonder girls and so on are only in their mid to late 20s yet have basically been more or less unemployed for years already. Some get a few minor acting roles but that's it. No idea if they made enough money when they were active or if they got themselves a rich bf. See video, they were so popular when they were 18 and now at 26 only Suzy still has a career, it's just sad. Jyp is evil for not giving twice more individual opportunities, soon they will end up just like them. Meanwhile male idols like exo, bts and also nct can easily be 25+ and are still considered fresh…
Taemin's latest comeback also made me think that he debuted at the wrong time, if he started out later he might have been able to make it to bts levels of big.

Yuta gives me icky vibes, I dont understand why he plays up the ship shit so much with all the members. Like they all play it up to an extent but all Yuta is known for is being a creepy guy who is weirdly obseessed with winwin and now mark.

taeil is creepy too, there's multiple videos of winwin actually fighting/getting angry at him in the background for getting handsy with him which honestly is weird as fuck…like i get fanservice but when the dude is literally smacking you to get away from you you'd think they'd stop
you cannot convince me otherwise that jaemin isnt just a fanservice robot straight out of an idol factory, the kid is fucking insane when it comes to uwuing and hamming it up for fans

>>7247>I think Kun hates that whole "mom" image that was placed on him and that the other members keep pushing. They also joke about his age a lot and age him to the point where fans think he's a lot older than he is. Id hate it too if i was trying to be a hot kpop boi but everyone treated me like some surrogate mom to grown men. He's straight up said that the soft image given to him isn't really him.But that's not really "chill", is it? They also make fun of the way he looks and his weight and so on, he can't catch a break, and it's not just one member doing it, it's always everybody vs. him and he seems very, very tired of it, he neither laughs it off, nor does he even try to defend himself anymore, he just looks done. And on top of that he also has the least fans. Other groups also tease the leader or the oldest but they all know when to stop or the "victim" get's a chance to hit back too sometime, plus it's never everybody ganging up on one person like it very often seems to be they case with Kun and them. I think with other members he's funny, but with Kun Ten often goes too far. It also seems as if most Wayv fans are still a bit younger, meaning they dig that "savageness" and don't really realize that those jokes sometimes might no longer be in good fun.

Eunwoo is god-tier visually, miles above others and it's not like the average idol is incredibly talented either (even tonedeaf Twice has int stans), so I still think it's a bit weird. Not that he doesn't make enough in Korea lol
>>7293>Cha Eunwoo, Im Siwan and Taeyong are the legit best looking idols in Kpop.I hate Taeyong's fans, his personality and his disgusting twink ana body, but one has to admit that his face really is incredibly attractive. As an old Exofag I have to acknowledge that he makes them look like shit in comparison lol I think that he might even look better than Jaejoong, so whether it's natural or an incredible surgeon, congrats. In general I think that the standards for female idols have become more lax, while male idols on average are more attractive than in the earlier generations. seeing him next to Shindong… topkek

Anonymous 7336
>>7335agreed, also im sure older gen idols dont start getting injections and fillers at the age of 17-19, so they look considerably less ragged than their newer counterparts
i wonder what some of these new gen idols are gonna look like when they hit their mid to late 20s, have to enlist, and lose all the idol styling and have to deal with the bloated filler faces
one of the reasons i feel jaejoong looked ok even for his age is because he probably didn't pump his face full of filler for 5+ years (although hes trying to catch up now with recent pics)
same reason why siwan and hyungsik still look so good for their age, it's probably because they dont inject shit into their muscles every 2 weeks
Anonymous 7337
>>7335This prooves what exactly? He looks awful kek and with Lucas right by his side you just did him dirty tbh
I don't even think Lucas and Jaehyun are that good looking tbh but it's just facts that Jaehyun is the most popular member and that Lucas is regarded as one of SM top visuals hence he's the visual in SuperM and not Taeyong.
>Exo get's those deals because they're famous, not because of their looks.I mean it's both. High fashion brands don't sign with uggo celebrities, there's a minimum of attractiveness one should have and the bar isn't low
Anonymous 7338
>>7336Actually Exo are probably the first group who did get lots of stuff done at a very young age, before them it wasn't so common and that's why Kai already declined so much despite only being 1 year older than Taeyong. And Bts looks even more tragic than them because they started later but tried to overcompensate for their ugliness by doing way too much way too fast.
If agencies cared about their artists, they would only let kids pass auditions who are already extremely attractive to begin with, it would mean less criticism for being ugly/plastic and a longer career because they don't melt after 25.

It's funny that he got to be a judge for an idol survival show only one year after debuting himself but I think he did an awsome job, his personality really seems super kind, that of course adds to his popularity.
Is it only my impression or is being very tall and skinny kind of more important in China than in Korea?

Idk I feel like SM planned it like this. Look at the memebers themselves. One is thai, one is half thai and from hong kong. One grew up in germany and is from Taiwan, one lived in macau. They all have a connection wtih being chinese or whatever but they are all over the plane. SM has plenty of other chinese trainees they could have debued. Its not like China is super friendly to foreigners or mixed kids. Lucas gets called derogatory names all the time sine his mother is thai and he has darker skin. yangyangs personality is western af.
picking these members didn't make sens imo for the chinese market
Anonymous 7504
>>7495The yangyang lived in germany argument is so dumb, his german is awful, plus people really think that suddenly many germans (or europeans), will be interested in them because of that? He still is, looks and speaks chinese. The only kpop group that has a tiny amount of fame here is bts (but only amongst little girls), the rest is all about american music.

They already kinda milk the SEA market, I think a lot of the acts tour in Thailand, Malasia or Indonesia
The thing is those countries don't have Japan/China/SKR purchasing power, so they make the most money doing concerts but not with albums bulk buying and merch

>>7519>>7504>>7509I don't think yy will appeal to german fans, I think he will appeal to international fans because he lived in a western country = westernized ect. The same reason that every korean idol who lived in the west has a shit ton of international fans.
International kpop fans want to consume kpop but want to feel superior doing it. They lowkey hate korea and its culture. Likewise SEA fans know that korea hates them and thinks of them as monkeys. This is why fuckng bts got popular and why every thai idol is pupular in sea regardless of any merit. Blackpink is super popular because they are "different" than the average girlgroup and all of their members have spend some time abraod or are from abraod = they arent like ur typical korean.
int fans love a good underdog story and they want to know that their idol is DIFFERENT from the typical krorean that they lowkey hate.
Wayv is literally perfect for this role. They are a major underdog. cant get popular in china, cant get popular in korea ect… Their members are international, they speak several languages amongst themsleves. They have a mixed kid, they have a sea kid. one of the members dad is a drag queen ect… They did a whole series with wayv where the members made their own content like song and dance= sm wants to give them the image that they are authentic and have creative control. not to mention that their "bond" gets pushed a lot giving them the image that they are more real tha nother idol gorups.
Basically they get the hot asian boy fantasy packaged in kpop but they get to feel like their boyband is special or different and westernized. the only reason bts is popular is because they milked that exact same narrative.
sm would be dumb not try appealing to western fandom

The sulli documentary is out i guess.
I always thought that piece of shit choiza should have gotten blamed a lot more. Fans already knew that they dated when she was barley 18 (illegal in korea) and probably before that. he was a 30 year old man dating a 18 year old girl. he completely treated her like a trophy doll and didnt give a fuck about her, yet ifans treated the situation like he was some caring teddybear and sulli was some powerful confident woman htat was happy dating a man 13 fucking years older than her. jesus. he even caused sulli to be estranged from her mother and prolly her other family too. key signs of a fucking abusive peice of shit.
of course choize will be a producing judge on SMTM 9 and he is living his life beautifully, while sulli is in a cold grave.

When BTS makes money or reaches a milestone the fans project that onto themselves.

>>7653this has been discussed on the lolcow kpopcrit but a year before bts started leaning into the corny "love yourself" mental health awareness schtick, bighit released this huge, comprehensive survey to bts fans on twitter that asked them a bunch of demographic questions (age, gender, location, stuff like that) but also if they were depressed or had mental health issues. i didn't think much of it when i first saw the survey go around on twitter but now that i think about it, they found a niche/area to exploit and really ran with it

>>7570personally i find haechan to be one of the more naturally gifted appearance wise in nct (although i can see why he wouldn't be a favorite amongst kfans, he has a darker skintone and could potentially look too bland and homey to them.) lately he's been looking slightly different which could be due to the weight and baby fat loss and just styling in general, but also something else like subtle ps but i can't be sure. either way, if it is ps they did a good job so i can't exactly be mad at it. i just hope they don't mess with his face anymore i would hate to see him get botched too.
when it comes to personality he's pretty funny amongst the other members, to the point where sometimes it borders on annoying. he has the personality of that annoying kid in middle school who can't be serious for more than two minutes at a time. also he can't seem to stay out of scandals with fansites etc, which i find pretty amusing. he just gives me the vibes of someone who just doesn't give much of a fuck which isn't really a positive thing but at least he's not boring.

Apparently they were interviewed by a CNN reporter yesterday but there were no answers from V, so ratmies immediately jumped to harrass her. Today she even had to do a 2nd interview with him to placate them.
They all sent her the same copypasta, called her unprofessional, said she made him feel uncomfortable, that she didn't pass his "vibe check" (that's basically him glaring at every single interviewer or celebrity in america - and to ratmy that means they must be bad/racist/whatever).

There was like this mission they had to do where they basically had to talk to strangers or something? and V was pretty natural at it while the other members were nervous. I remember thinking like fuck I wish I was attractive and charming ppl would just up and do things for me too.
Now not only is he attractive but filthy rich and world famous. He has tons of actor friends, he was the only bts member to be in a drama. He has been extremely lucky in life and his life has honestly been a breeze if you think about it.

I remember seeing some clips of 127 on a japanese show back in 2017 and the way Taeyong behaved was unbelievably immature. There was a part where him and a few of the other members went into a convenience store to buy some stuff and they kept the hosts (who were absolutely baffled) waiting outside the store for over 25 min.
Then at the end of the show Taeyong gave one of the hosts a gift of sweets and the host made a joke about not being able to eat sweets so Taeyong just grabbed the gift back from him. What makes it even worse is that the host was in shock and tried to hold onto the box and said in a small voice "what, I'm still gonna eat it though" but Taeyong grabbed it away from him anyway.I could not believe he behavedSorry for the stupid storytelling

everyone in super m has or have had eating disorders/body image issues. this is like a normal work day for them. just like requiring oxygen cans and iv drips backstage is a norm for them.
Yes Lucas calls Kun fat and Kun makes fun of him for having dark skin. there was recently an episode with chenle and jungwoo where chenles big head was made fun for the entirety of the episode to the point where it ruins the atmosphere. nct dream points out jisungs small eyes and haechan's fat/dark skin, renjuns small body frame all the time + a millon other examples from other groups.

the kpop industry is just as fucked as every other entertainment industry out there, i hate how these stupid fans keep trying to push this PC/woke agenda and start arguments over this while simultaneously consuming that exact problematic content

>>7810>>7816>muh cultureExcept only people in nct/wayv are backwards enough to still do that. Jin calling Jimin a pig happened ages ago and he got a ton of backlash, Lucas sure is but the rest aren't dumb enough to not know that calling somebody fat is bad.
>everyone in super m has or have had eating disorders/body image issues.And yet they're able to hold their tongues when it comes to the others bodies.
Nctfags have turned into the new ratmies, Lucas does shit and they trend b-but he faces racism, he's a good boy, the actual victim! Why is it so difficult to admit that he's dumb and a cunt? You only fap to him because you like his looks anyway, no need for a nice personality.

I searched for “lucas fatphobic” on Twitter and this is one of the first things that came up lol

>>7818Yeah idols used to do it all the time tho but i guess they've stopped it bc of sensitive i-fans. I always thought it was weird that jin got so much hate for that when everyone in bts had called jimin fat.

>>7818i dont think either poster was defending lucas, i think he's a dumb cunt who acts like a frat boy
i was just pointing out that idols call each other stupid shit and do weird things like rank looks etc. BTS is not immune to that, they literally go on shows and rank each other by attractiveness. This isn't really to their fault as it's obvious it's a game scheduled by whatever show they participate in, i was just pointing out how fucked up the industry was as a whole
its just stupid to cry over shit like fatphobia bc it makes the western/international pig fans feel better about themselves but blatantly ignore all the other bullshit these idols say and do

>>7824The song seems fun and the dance looks cool, but it's like 3 different songs in one? Its my first time checking out stray kids and idk something about them freaks me out? maybe its the styling or that like all the members seem to have a deep ass voice
Anonymous 7831
>>7830i think that honestly sums up stray kids super well, all of their songs feel like three different songs mushed into one
i think they try for the "hard/different" vibe and it sometimes comes off super awkward
honestly they stopped doing it, but they used to force the aussie accent into every single one of their songs and it was so obnoxious because no actual aussie actually talks like that

I'm that lone anon posting about sulli but idt anyone cares. anyway i just want to say what a tragic ass life. her case turned out to be like the classic stage parent child star hollywood story.
im a nctdream fan and yeah like three members were child stars since they were like 5 yrs old and they all debuted at like 14. the next generation of fucked up idol will most likely come from them. now thinking about it Mark came to korea at just 12 years old by himself and entered SM. I feel like i could never just let my child go to a foreign country at 12 to be taken by some company. sulli's mom did the same basically and left her at sm at 11 years old.

Like Ratmon calling Jhope and V dark as the night it's just an incident swept under the rug and most fans wouldn't even know about it. They stopped saying this stupid ass shit because somebody was smart enough to media train them properly to fit Western standards of PC.

>>7807I used to be an army in early 2014 till 2016. I fell out of interest with kpop but years later I came across their newer stuff and went back to the older comebacks I had missed to find that their music has subsequently been garbage for years. They all look uncanny compared to how they looked back when I was a fan–esp Jimin who I still can't pinpoint what exactly what's been done to his face. Video attached is him back in 2014 so imagine my shock to see him in 2017; he wasn't my favorite of the group but he was actually kind of cute tanner and more muscular. Now he looks like a literal woman and is yet deemed a 'visual'. Present day Armys are by far worse than the group but that can be said for most kpop groups imo. Vocal kpop fans are absolute freaks.
You're going to find that this thread is full of Nct fags who are Ratmy haters out of jealousy. Nct is definitely even worse than BTS with all of the money that's backing them. But they aren't successful because their giant ass group just throws in any kid including trainees that didn't make the Exo lineup, rich kids who bought a debut, and the few and far between good looking ones (relative to the group members kek) that are also short and misogynistic. Nct's lack of success is extremely pathetic considering no one gives a shit about them in Korea despite them coming from SM which guarantees instant popularity.
I'm just holding out hope that Nct is Super Junior and we're getting a Shinee/Exo with the new boy group that's debuting in 2020/2021, that is if SM calls it a day with Neo Cultural Sunk Cost Fallacy instead of making yet another Nct sub group in 2021.

Companies dont care about vocals anymore and much less about visuals… we just have an army (no pun intended) of uggos who can "idol dance" in synch tops
4th gen is a talent hole that will fade with BTS decline
Anonymous 7861
>>7856casual exo-l here, maybe its bc im older now and kpop didnt have the appeal that it did when i was in high school and exo was the big "thing", but it feels like none of the 4th generation groups have that kpop spark that previous generations did, they all feel so souless and manufactured even tho gen 3 was as well
honestly my ultimate group is BTOB, im eagerly awaiting them to all come back from the army, but none of the 4th gen groups do it for me
>>7857pretty sure jungwoo's also rumored to be a bit of a misogynist, and there was shit floating around about jeno being xenophobic by the way he treats the chinese members + wayv members, but that might just be salty chinese/wayv fans seeing shit where there isnt
honestly the group is a bunch of spoiled brats who paid their way into the industry and are honestly flops despite how hard SM is pushing them
>>7854this is what i hate about fucking ratmy fans, not all the criticism directed towards BTS is because of "jealousy", a lot of the discussion on here revolves around rightly deserved criticism of how fucking hypocritical BTS is as whole and how their delusional fans will shield and make excuses for every single fucking thing their oppas make
NCT is a floppy piece of garbage, sure, but you cant just brush off criticism and deem it "jealousy" because you cant admit that BTS is stupid problematic as hell and put themselves on some woke agenda pedestal just because their singing monkey routine is slightly more known than the rest of the singing monkeys
Anonymous 7863
>>7861>pretty sure jungwoo's also rumored to be a bit of a misogynistIdk how accurate this is but there were a couple instances where jw made some sexist comments during fansigns (something about cooking and cleaning and you should get married before you get too old)
Anonymous 7864
>>7863the best part is fans think this misogynistic commentary is "cute" and "protective"
V is pretty known for making comments about women's clothing being too low etc. but ratmy fans always defend it as "aw he's looking out for her what a gentleman", not to mention he literally was yanking on some girl's hair at a fansign and another member stopped him, and then the GIRL came out to defend him and say he was joking
idno honestly, i get there's a line for "flirty joking" but you should not be yanking on the hair of someone you literally do not know, joking or otherwise but ofc bc the girl said it was ok the ratmys cleared the searches and continued to make him out as some uwu sensitive soul
jungwoo is too much of a nugu for people to even give a shit about his misogyny and potential association to ilbe/far-right usage, so he'll fly under the radar as all flops do until he pisses off his only saesang and they leak everything

i understand theres probably a dynamic there of the older sibling being too proud to ask for help, and perhaps jin did offer to lend/bail him out, but airing the dirty laundry on national TV for some "sympathy points" seems so tone deaf
i cant wonder how his brother feels, being down on his luck (restaurants got hit hard during covid) and then having ur rich ass brother talk about it to millions of people as a way to make them feel bad for HIM and his feelings
