KPop Stans - The round eye fans of slant eye bands

A kpop idol recently wrote a book that was fiction, but referenced things in the Kpop industry and group she was involved in. It's caused some controversy with fans. Not because she revealed some idols exchange sex for favors in the industry. But because she may have outed one of her former group members as a Lesbian. Priorities....

 
Why would anyone be even remotely surprised that KPop idols are making the rounds on casting couches?
 
This is perhaps the first televised Back Street Boys performance in 1993. This is pretty much the stage and touring blueprint that the SK Kpop groups based themselves on. Nick Carter the youngest of the group, and was 12 years old and touring with his older teen groupmates around America during this time to various schools and educational facilities. Similarly to the festival tours Kpop groups do today.


The other half of the blueprint of Korean idols comes from Japan Idols Fanmeets, Fanservice, and merchandise.

I want to say there is more prostitution in Kpop, but let's be honest, boybands have seen some shit, too.
 
We're all lucky that 90% of BTS stans can't vote.

I'm just surprised BTS has gotten as far as they've gone by showing that they're probably slightly above being completely manufactured. I guess writing your own material goes a long way.

And never forget that AOC praised K-Pop fans for sabotaging a Trump rally's attendance numbers. And they apparently went full gatekeeper when Ivanka Trump tweeted how she enjoyed BTS and used the #BTS hashtag.

Well, at least these Korean Ken dolls probably won't be making shitty McDonald's partnerships for shitty combos.

Looking back, that was hilarious if only because people were hoping that BTS would act like Krusty the Clown.

Apparently their fandom logo is just like the aforementioned symbol.

I hate that the call themselves “the Army.” Makes them seem like more than a bunch of annoying gook fangirls, especially when they say stuff like “The biggest victims of COVID was the Army.” You'd expect something normal about how servicemen were expected to still be on duty while the world was on lockdown, but instead you get some teenage girl complaining that she didn't get to go to a concert for her favorite Slant Band. It's all so tiresome.
 
I just saw a thing about "the first black male K-pop idol" and apparently he's some Canadian guy who isn't even part Korean. No offense, but how is it really K-pop if it's not Koreans performing it? I know there are Japanese, Chinese and Thai K-pop idols, but they can obviously fit into the culture and their beauty standards much more easily. I guess that's just the thing about globalizing things, you're expected to cater to American/Western sensibilities. J-pop doesn't have to do this because it's not intended for an audience outside of Japan.

I looked at some of the newest comments on the video, and it shows that there’s a lot more confusion than actual support:

Most of the comments even talked about how there were already famous half-black, or mixed, K-pop singers that don’t even have the same amount of exposure as this singer in question.

Either way, I think this is just showing ”diversity” for diversity’s sake. Real K-pop fans, for all their social media faults, could actually see right through this if they paid attention.
 
Does anyone else notice how native English speakers start to use broken English when they become Kpop stans? It makes me irrationally annoyed how they just feel the need to start speaking in some typical Asian-style semi-fucked English to fit in.
