As far as I know Woojins scandal was real but he too was used as a scapegoat. About Taeil I don't want to comment rn. SK is a very misogynistic country so personally I don't want to defend any idol who gets caught in an SA related scandal. We are women we should side with the victim unless any proof of his innocence comes out.
Ohh they coddle them so much. One of the reasons I made that post about Onew in particular is because I got jumped by his stans recently. I will tell you guys the story. So, an Onew stan got into an argument with me because I said on one online Kpop space I didn't like his album and that girl argued with me over 2-3 days over this. She and her gang who were all Onew stans tried to Cyber Bully me like they usually do in Kpop spaces but fortunately I don't care about these things and I shut them down by using logical arguments but the girls were so dumb and obsessed they kept crying about how hard their fav had worked and said stuff like "ohh he just wants to be happy", "he went through a lot" "why do you want to steal this tiny moment of happiness from him" loll and I cringed so hard reading their comments because they were talking about this 35 year old man who is a millionaire like he is some child who will have a mental breakdown from reading 1 bad review of his album. I was surprised because I have dropped critical remarks about idols more popular and successful than Onew and none of their fans acted as bad as this guy's fan and I figured his cute and innocent act is leading to his fans becoming obsessed with him to a dangerous level. They think these idols are their friend when all these males care about is the money. They won't even smile at their female fans if it were not for the money. But, What's sad is the girls who were defending him probably earn less than him and have to work harder to live a decent life but in their obsession they forget their own self-worth.
he's not married, but yeah this is creepy af.
Yeah . . . It's well known about white-supremism but not many people have heard about Jewish supremism. When will this end? Why can't these morons look at the human race as ONE??
ik that about the last part but something feels off about this whole case and i dont want to take any exact accusations as being true or false without solid evidence
even if the girls are adults its such a weird thing to do?
About this. Some speculation on my part so don't take this too seriously but in Japan sex work is legalized. I watched videos of Japanese women who worked in the sex industry. This is a legit profession for women there so I guess some Japanese female celebrities might be doing this. I have a feeling the MomoxHeechul thing was also something like this because they have a lot of age difference.
probably occurs a lot more than we realise. still there must be other ways people can garner such success, do u think smth then happened around bts debut? cause they keep peddling the bts paved the way narrative in some way its true but also kpop wouldnt really exist if not for western pop scene that openly accepted this new form of performing and westerners were their target audience for some time so i kinda wish the bts members moved on to another narrative its just quite boring to hear them utter it over n over again its like when someone says the same unfunny joke over n over again if they are no longer aiming their songs to be korean based or inspired then its kinda just regular pop music with corny english lyrics that dont usually make sense.
fr people act like idols are such fragile individuals wholl breakdown for one mere critique i often feel the same about some of bts recent songs sorry jimin but his songs r corny its the only word i can describe them and i think theres other groups now that are tad more interesting with more varied songs / talent. not that bts arent talented just they definitely had the helping hand of the fact tnat they had debuted at s time when there wasnt an other next big boy group about so really.
In a similar vein I recall years ago there was a Japanese sex worker who was very popular. She started when she was 16. She eventually became a gravure idol when she turned 18, but that was just the public SFW advertising for her escort services, which a few Japanese sleuths found, but her face was censored on the Japanese escort websites under another name. She even made Japanese TV appearances for cheesecake content. But because she continued working for the escort websites with the assumed name and blurred face, it was never publicly brought up. But I'm sure it meant a lot more demand for her and allowed her to increase her prices.
not related to kpop but im wondering about junko furuta and how she wanted to be an idol singer before her tagic ending early on in her life would she have had to do s*x work just to get into the industry? are the yakuza also involved with japanese idol groups?
We have cases already of idols who have failed who have moved on to other work. Sometimes it might be a coffee shop worker, sometimes its a streamer or similar.
But considering what they may have had to do while in the kpop industry, it probably doesn't seem like a big deal to them.
thats a real shame honestly do u think its due to kpop not being able to pay for the groups longevity. even if i wanted to be an idol i dont think i could slave away all childhood then have to sell my body to get by. again it shows how much weaker kpop actually is
It seems the only difference between the successful girls and the unsuccessful girls is that they aren't in demand by the elite, so they have to start to advertise publicly they are available.
thats what i dont like dressing in terms of womens clothes theres hardly anything on them. not remotely interesting enough to look at and not relatable at all. when does it cross the line into narcissism? it just gives me the ick to see people having to do things like that to get by honestly. it says if they arent wonyoung and a doll like figure dainty then no ones interested in them for them to succeed. i think jessi somewhat regrets her choices to act the way she acts as well, u can see she doesnt mean too but she does make more conservative idols uncomfortable or uncertain over her actions compared to wonyoung for example who is absolutely adored and worshipped like some perfect being even if shes nice i dont hate either of them just think its unlucky for some and i dont really care about tiktok so im hardly going to know them if they arent relevant to what i watch / like.
I think they get addicted to the lifestyle, private jets, chauffeured cars, bodyguards, personal stylists, being given outfits by top line companies, being offered big money to party on a $100 million dollar yacht. They don't want to go back to being "nobody". So they end up chasing it.
i do think its possible to still be a somebody but they have to have something to show for, otherwise it screams everyone look at them give them attention. even if they fake it still give them attention the kartrashians are the worst for making it normal to want their lifestyle. i was thinking this about some footballers and how erling haaland earns 900k a week. one cause hes a man isnt he and two cause he kicks a ball about and sometimes wins things occasionally then he gets worshipped to no end and its all who people talk about who earns more who has more. i wonder if it would still be possible to do something like that but more for the enjoyment instead of the "benefits" of earning that much? they cant be humble surely not
