The real problem with kpop stans is that they take idols for literal Gods and put them on a pedestal. That's actually encouraged by labels who train idols from the start to look "flawless and single" so that the fans see them as the perfect boyfriends. The more fans gatekeep them, the more they buy merch, albums and concert tickets. Nobody is perfect. It's all just planned by the label and idols from the start to make profit. Labels don't even care if fans become toxic. As long as they buy, it's fine for them

I agree and disagree. A lot of people present "constructive criticism" as straight up hate. Yes, hate is a necessary part of life but it's not a synonym of criticism. Constructive criticism is "hey "?", you're really bad at A, B, C, maybe you should do X, Y, Z to improve" not "they're so trash/how do they have fans" etc. Overpraising is also a big problem. People praise some of these idols like literal GODS and when they make the slightest HUMANE mishap they're immediately "dragged" by the same people who used to praise them. Overpraising also leads to some idols having a "God-Complex" which allows them to think that they can do anything without retaliation from their fans or other fan-bases. Somi spoke about it openly saying something like "I felt like I deserved everything and demanded everything" and she's not even close to the level of a lot of soloists like her, let alone some groups so if she used to feel that way just imagine how some "bigger" idols must feel? Said this a million times, if you're a fan just listen to the music, enjoy the side-content (vlogs, behind the scenes and what not) if you're feeling drawn towards the personalities of the idols/whatever artists you like, if you got the necessary funds to buy an album/merch/concert ticket, go ahead but don't put anyone on a pedestal, we don't know the people they truly are when the cameras are turned off (long ahh comment but if anyone changes their perspective towards the artists they look up to, it's worth the read).

No... a lot of people give constructive criticism, but we're being silenced. That's the truth. When fans learn to stop seeing hate everywhere and give a platform to haters and stop banning people for giving an opinion, you'll see that no one is really hating. And the one who hate are the one who had their faves compared for too long and waited the good moments to clap back. Lesserafim got sugarcoated, praised for 2 years, and during Coachella, we didn't see the "Sakura improve better than X idols." "Yunjin outsings every 4th gen vocalist" "Yunjin is an opera singer" and now we're seeing Coachella. Why did feranot bullied everyone? And why are they giving a platform to haters and not actual concerned fans that they call haters...

I'm still pissed off to this day about the amount of hate that Jennie got for having her solo debut first. She literally was the test subject, which she herself have said, and didn't even get 2 songs at that compared to the other girls. Solo stans are the main reasons why I hate interacting in the Kpop community, especially with how they keep putting other members down, when the same idol they are stanning don't even approve of their behavior.

I think the saddest part of this is the fact that criticism is always turned into hate. Let me explain: K-pop fans will spew their hate and hateful antics, but then hide behind the valid criticism to justify their behaviour. It's gross and it's unfortunately way too common. If one person gives criticism, you're right, they will be called a hater or others will result to insults such as "your favs are flops" and so on, but in the case of LSFM and ILLIT for example, there was SO much criticism because... well we couldn't pretend that they were indeed doing a good job. But all that criticism has changed into nothing but hate and it's easy for companies to ignore the real criticism and focus on the hate as a way to gain sympathy.

Criticism of K-pop is a common occurrence, with fans and outsiders alike often voicing their opinions on various aspects of the genre. Some of the most common criticisms include the industry's emphasis on image and aesthetic perfection, as well as the pressure put on idols to maintain a certain look and persona. Critics also point out the prevalence of plagiarism and cultural appropriation in K-pop, with some artists being accused of copying the music and style of other artists without giving proper credit. Additionally, there are concerns about the intense training and exploitation of young idols, as well as the lack of mental health support in the industry. Despite the criticisms, K-pop continues to gain popularity worldwide, with many fans appreciating the catchy music, impressive dance routines, and elaborate music videos. Ultimately, like any form of entertainment, K-pop is not without its flaws, but it is up to fans and artists to navigate and address these criticisms in a constructive way.

The plagiarism and copying thing in KPop is the most ridiculous, bizarre thing I have ever witnessed. The fact that people honestly think that people can’t do similar things, wear similar clothes or hairstyles is CRAZY! There are only so many things groups can do. Trends and fads get copied. Music evolves by inspiration from others. You have bought into an ideology that has no merit. If people thought this way in the ‘60’s, 70’s, 80’s, etc… we would missed so much good music. Every group with long hair, drums, a guitarist and singers would be worried about the other groups who look to much like them. Do you not see how utterly ridiculous it would sound when they are that is? Should the first hair band have thrown a fit and said no one else to have long hair because it hey own that look? How about you? Why did you dress the way you do? Better watch out. You are copying other people! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Groups don’t get big because of “concepts”. That is stupid. They get big because they reach an audience that identifies with them, loves their music, dancing, personalities, etc. This stealing concepts is a shield for “I’m not as big as them so this is the excuse I am going use”. They aren’t as big because they didn’t reach as many people that identifies with them. Period. Groups should focus on their music and ignore the others. Fans should do the same. They should support the ones they identify with and ignore the others. There is no sense in hating people because they are more successful than others. What does it matter what other groups do. If your group does their job well enough, they will have fans. They don’t have to be in competition with the others and want them destroyed. Do you see how that is and e¥il way that way too many fans think? I’m not saying you think that way. I don’t know you.

@@Imme_begin It's important to remember that inspiration and copying are not the same thing. It's natural for artists to be influenced by others and to draw inspiration from different sources. Music is a form of art that constantly evolves and builds upon previous work. Ultimately, what matters most is the genuine connection that a group has with their audience and the quality of their music. Comparing and competing with other groups only takes away from the enjoyment of the music industry as a whole. As fans, it's important to support the artists we love and appreciate their unique talents and contributions to the industry.

Fans will always be like: - Actively hate idols that they don't like ✅ - Just shut up ❌

I still remember Haruto from Treasure was tagged as being homophobic just because he expressed that he’s not comfortable being shipped to his co members. Come on guys, you wanted respect to your community but the hate you throw at this guy is very out of line. You still can respect a certain community but it’s his right to express if he’s comfortable or not since he’s a straight guy. Homophobia is lashing against the LGBT with illogical hate while Haruto expressed only for himself and did not take it out against your community. Grow up.

It sucks but it's the truth. The K-pop industry prioritizes visuals because the best looking members are always the most popular, even when other talented members can dance, sing, and rap circles around them.

Even when you are complimenting you get backlash. Once i wrote that someone was a great dancer, and a 'fan' dissed me because 'great' adjective was not enough 🤣.

The problem is, that the companies would rather not do anything bc those "Fans" still pump money into their pockets. so sad

What you said is exactly true. I have seen Wonyoung's fan complaining that SSE overworked her but at the same time complain that she does not have individual schedule like shows where she could appear in. I mean like some fans can never be happy

Actually from a hype insider revealed hype has no vocal trainers and if they don’t develop skills fast enough they will end contracts.

I agree !! This is no more the K pop I remember. This is no more the world which I was comfortable with, where I was happy to be😔🙏

I dont know why people in these days think: Talent Kpop idol who are able to sing, talk about depression, challenge with new concept for new comeback but they dont have pretty face ↓ BAD KPOP ARTIST, THEY WILL BRING "DIRTY" EDUCATIONS TO CHILDREN. Pretty plastic surgery innocent face dancing with a lot of aegyo wink to parasocial between fans but bad singing ↓ OMG, THEY ARE REALLY TALENT I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE CRITICIZE MY BABY!?

The point ots just entertainment not life or death. Don't like a group don't listen to them. Move on

Kpop fans are so disconnected from the rest of the music world in general. Kpop has the most overproduced, commercialized, choreographed to a tee performances in the world. Which in itself can often be very impressive and obviously good to watch. But most other music shows in the world are far more about the energy and passion behind the music. Of course, you still try to look and sound great, but it's almost secondary to the actual show itself. Another thing I've noticed is Kpop fans tend to be really bad at identifying when groups are lipsyncing and actually singing live. I see some people criticizing groups for singing slightly worse live and then in the next breath, praising a performance that was clearly lipsynced. If people were more aware of when groups were actually singing live they'd have more realistic expectations, especially for prolonged shows as opposed to one song performances.

Not being able to make a difference between a live vs lipsync performance is what I attribute to the downfall. Because, how many times have seen artists being praised for "eating their cds" when they were actually lipsyncing...

Some of the talentless idols don’t even have a pretty face. Just look at Eunchae, Wonhee and newjeans below average looks.

People need to stop saying that ILLIT is the victim too when HYBE literally bought their no. 1 in so many shows. They got all the glory and get paid for it and you call them the victim???

The sad thing is kpop isn't about talent anymore,it focuses on visuals mostly,stripping away opportunities for actually talented people.The idols job is to sing and dance if they can't do that they aren't ready to debut.Fans don't realise once they step on stage they aren't considered trainees anymore.Many non singers can even sing more in tunr than idols.There r so many people that can be better at the idols job than them,but they will never get the chance.

Someone needed to say this at some point

And what about the many idols who are ACTUALLY being harassed with meaningless and useless hatred??? Isn’t this just giving them an excuse to keep taunting idols online?

Of the 3 members that can't sing I think E and K can definitely develop at least stable vocals with enough training, the other one has had 13 years on her belt and her voice is probably messed up from her bad technique.. she looks like she's about to cry with a 1 second line so maybe it will be most difficult for her. Either way Hybe is a shitty company for not training them vocally and sending them to these big events

yesss this!! we should still call out harassment and bullying but constructive criticism is a must for people to grow and learn sometimes i do wonder if the professionals who work with these idols actually give them hard honest feedback.

If we were less emotional about kpop, we will all live a better life. People feel triggered by idols breathing atp and whenever people say anything this start a war. By the way this is one of the best written video you've made.

Honestly, constructive critizism should always be fine, but for minors, who‘s mental strength is still debeloping, constant and constant critizism can also be harmful… they often times already know and for someone going through puberty this can end severely. Pls give them time to develop

Over criticism is hate and thats what these fans do with every little thing to do with idols. They love to hate everything, Idols do their best, they give their all, but they can always improve because they are not perfect, they are human with strengths and weaknesses. These types of fans are not supportive, they love to build their idols up, then tear them down at every given opportunity

In this case, I give full props to the fandom of Seventeen- Carats. I have seen their comments, and damn, they don't hold back. I think it was the 'Ready to Love' comeback where I saw Carats being really critical of the video. They loved the song, which they expressed as well, but they also spoke out about being unsatisfied with the MV (except for the 'rainy' bit at the end). It was all very well structured. Constructive criticism at its best. Carats have also torn into Pledis multiple times over several issues with their idols. I also admire the relationship between Seventeen and Carats. I have seen so many videos where both just go at each other, for fun, of course. It's not the usual "oh-I-love-everything-my-idols-do-they-are flawless" or "we-cant-breathe-without-our-beloved-fans" charade. Also, Seventeen does a very good job at keeping their fans grounded and delulu-free. I am very fascinated by this relationship. :)

FINALLY SOMEONE SPOKE ABOUT IT. I get that sometimes idols are the vicitims but people victimize idols a lot even if its their fault. People need to accept it instead of always acting like their idols are the vicitms or acting like they are babies

being a kpop fan for quite some time, I'm just disappointed on what it has come to be, and it doesn't mean I'm a hater or anything. Kpop just doesn't feel right anymore.

I see more than often videos of negativity putting groups or a particular idols down which does not help the matter but fuel more hate or negativity. We need to be mindful in what were posting ...yes idols and groups are not perfect. Some are better than others and that will always be that way. The same in any pop industry whether it be british, american or european.

I remember when stays sent protest trucks to JYPE for Channies room to happen again and chan scolded them. At the same time stays are the ones who made Channies room to get cancelled for assuming about what he said about idols not being respectful to older idols. I mean genuinely kpop fans act like obsessive girlfriends but when an idol does one mistake it's let's make them suffer. Hyunjin and Felix got distant after fans decided it was up to them, how their relationship towards each other is like yet those very same fans are the ones saying we want hyunlix back. About the Le Sserafim performance they lack at singing basic notes yet fans will always support them, they were not able to sing so constructive criticism is ok it's not hate it's just people who actually have ears hear that they were not able to sing properly and don't be using the they were dancing and that is what idols are trained for so learn that hate and constructive criticism is not one and the same, it's 2 different things. The hate train that Wonyoung and Jennie is forced, fans hate them for the silliest things ever. Back to the bad vocals thing some so called fans gave shit to Jimin for not being able to sing at music core, I mean I get it, it was not the best performance he has ever done but some of yall gave him shit for not being able to sing but if the same thing happens to your faves it's a thing of being nervous or they are dancing. Jimin may not have been able to hold some notes and music core but he has proven time and time again that he is a good performer and it seems like that went over some people's heads

Criticism is not hate. While that is true, many, particularly the ones aimed at Le Sserafim and ILLIT recently, are indeed hate comments masked as constructive criticism. You can't simply ignore that fact. They don't want them to improve, they just outright enjoy spewing malicious comment. They are even often brought up in discussions that are unrelated to them. There is a threshold for what constitutes constructive criticism, and the overwhelming number of hate comments they receive certainly surpasses it. Given that the feedback has already reached the members, this is a time when they need support more than ever, yet I feel you chose to discourage those with this video. Maybe you should review what is constructive criticism and what is hate. Because I refuse to call the mass of hate comments as constructive criticism. If the goal is to elevate the standard of K-POP, it would be better to support and promote groups that meet your standards. Hate comments are completely unnecessary.

I said this about XG during one of their many comebacks. Their fans ate me up but were so delusional about it. I merely said they needed more time to work on their live performance. The du,mb fans took it as an insult.

Source music should have never allowed Sakura to put out those two statements it did nothing to help the situation.

1 thing that ruin kpop and K-idols >> toxic K-netizens…

I honestly much much prefer the time where members they were amazing at the position they were given and average or even below average in the two other categories or great at two but bad in the 3rd one(Like a "main vocalist" would ACTUALLY have main vocalist vocals, main rapper would be amazing rapper but just average or below average vocalist) I would much rather have that than "all rounders" that are just above average or "good enough" at all 3 positions

Whatever happened to liking a group or a singer based on who they were rather than trying to change them? My favorite groups were not the best singers or even the best musicians (I like more rock and synth) or had the best stage presence, but I would never tell them to get better. Idols should not be treated as performance monkeys but as artists.

It’s different though, some of the level of singing I’ve seen recent issues are on the level of those survival show’s people make funny compilations with

You know why people jump into criticising some groups more than others?? It’s because their hype,achievements don’t add up to their talents so obviously fans of talented Kpop groups would be pointing out where the flaw is… especially when Kpop is under scrutiny for payola,music show/award show bribery, brand deals bribery,plagiarism, sasaegi etc.

This is a video every k-pop fan need to see.

The thing that ruins anything is people.

The real problem with kpop stans is that they take idols for literal Gods and put them on a pedestal. That's actually encouraged by labels who train idols from the start to look "flawless and single" so that the fans see them as the perfect boyfriends. The more fans gatekeep them, the more they buy merch, albums and concert tickets. Nobody is perfect. It's all just planned by the label and idols from the start to make profit. Labels don't even care if fans become toxic. As long as they buy, it's fine for them

Part of it is not having enough experience and understanding of technical skills to create a constructive criticism. If a person knows something is bad but has no clue how to fix it they’ll blatantly say how bad they are. The real reason is the need for fandoms to crush other artists because they don’t want competition for their idols. And when their bias is honest about their frustration within the fandom it’s a slap to the face to them. Like they literally feel entitled to their idols success as if they created them. This is where parasocial relationship gets too far.

Another reason to stan YG , they always prefer quality over quantity & always debuting best trainees

Tbh with so many girl group debuting I hadn’t paid much attention to Babymonster. I just watched their live performance and WOW I’m impressed!! Their vocals are strong, amazing compared to recent live performances of other groups. Big respect for them and I will be watching their next move!

People have no goddamn concept of moderation. You're allowed to criticize someone if you a) provide valid proof, and b) do it politely, but generally those things barely exist on the internet. Instead you get a nonsensical war between people who spend all day flaming and fans who get so overly defensive that they won't acknowledge even valid criticism. This is why I don't get involved with this crap if I can avoid it.

The fans makes all the excuses in the world, it’s really the first time I’ve seen a weak vocal lineup in kpop history Also reminder that the company is to blame for this

Imo being critical of a group's vocal abilities is already way more fair than speculating about their dating lives or their diets... The LS case is actually a relevant topic that SHOULD be acknowledged by kpop fans and kpop companies. Claiming everyone who has something bad to say about this is a brainless hater will not make any progress.

5:53 & onwards, i’m so agree! fr let the idols themselves deal with company..

I'm a huge fan of Le Sserafim and Illit who received criticism lately and they're definitely talented in their own ways but some of their performances were more than lacking, if fans are not the people who are going voice out their opinions about these topics then who else? People should understand the difference b/w constructive criticism and hate.

There is a difference between constructive criticism once or twice, but when people keep saying idols can't sing over and over even when weeks have passed it's become bullying.

As someone who went through this phase, let hope these young people I'm assuming are below 17 will just grow out of their immaturity and realize they were the problem all along.

Saying "Jennie is lazy" can even make anyone be viewd as a m*nster 😅 I'm a VIPStay and let me tell you, the way that particular idol has made a career without doing much is mostly due to these type of fans. Because GD was performing with an ankle injury for almost 5 years (that doesn't make him a hero or anything, just someone who was negligent about prioritizing his health over work) and Felix made it through the whole MANIAC era with a back injury (promo, dance practices, concerts, fanmeetings...) and always gave his 1000%. But dare someone say Jennie should up her game, there will always be a trope of her fans victimize her giving the absurdist of excuses such as "she has a wrist injure", "her eyelid was hit by a feather last night"... etc... 😅

The way fans handle this kind of subject should be more realistic. Even in our daily lives, there is a difference between constructive criticism and hate. We learn how to constructively criticize in school, at work, to our friends. It’s all about the delivery and the words being used. Methods like a “compliment sandwich” are often helpful. Not being hurtful, but encouraging. Yet still giving a person ways they can improve and pointing out what may have been a better choice. It’s difficult for true hate, bullying, dogpiling, callousness and degrading word choice to be taken seriously when every fair review and respectful opinion is bundled together as hate.

Some are overhyped and when they do not meet common basic standards it looks so disappointing and bad.

I don't think hating a criticizing a group or individual is a healthy way to go through life. We each control our time and entertainment funds, and if you don't enjoy what a performer is doing, go elsewhere! There's a lot of great music in the world, and if you find some that makes you happy, that's who you support.

Lets b honest, thats how kpop is going for so long. Both parties are taking advantages, this is not about fans only. Its obvious as an idol people expect their vocal is good. Theres nothing wrong when you choose a path, you need improvement. Its for everyone

Fans should know the difference between hate and criticism. I hate the para social relationship between idols and fans it’s dangerous.

Once I commented that Ahyeon should apologize for using Nword and her fans said I was jealous of her success and talent lmao.

True. Stop babying idols. Most of them are adults and know what they're doing

rmb when SNSD sang live with their dances? BoA sang live with her intense choreos? 2NE1 and their live raps? good old days. even tho it may not have sounded as good as the studio version and u could hear their breathings, they were genuine and they tried to do it anyways, that gave their performance "souls". nowadays i dont see any groups or anyone doing it. dont even talk to me about the 5th gen groups who are mostly hyped by payola. As a kpop listener for over 20 years, this is sad to see
