regarding the current w korea breast cancer awareness campaign, it all started with valid, well-aimed criticism towards w korea, the event organizer, for being completely tone-deaf. there wasn’t any actual awareness being spread on their socials, just clips of rich actors, idols, and influencers drinking, partying, and having fun. and sure, charity galas around the world work like that, but when you realize the event’s total donations over 20 years only add up to around 1 billion won (which is pocket change compared to the attendees’ net worth), it feels off. and to make it worse, it recently came out that the editor-in-chief of w korea, who’s also the ceo of the korea breast cancer foundation, might’ve donated the money to herself. so yeah, the initial outrage made sense. but as usual, the internet couldn’t stay focused. it quickly shifted from criticizing w korea to dragging the attendees instead. sure, it was insanely tone-deaf to have people dancing to a jay park song where he sexualizes women’s bodies /at a breast cancer awareness event/, but somehow the conversation devolved into slutshaming aespa for their outfits and fanwars about whose fave “behaved better.” “my fave only drank water.” “my fave didn’t smile.” “my fave left early so they’re morally superior.” it’s embarrassing. how can anyone take this discourse seriously? and then you’ve got the international stans who think having a korean idol as their pfp gives them the right to critique south korean citizens like they’re sociologists. some of the assumptions being made are just… wild. this level of parasocialism is genuinely scary. i honestly yearn for the day kpop stans learn how to participate in discourse in a level-headed, nuanced manner, but it’s probably not happening anytime soon. submitted by /u/JinnieP [link] [comments]

It could be age gaps (or lack thereof), birthdays distributions, random coincidences, or anything you personally find interesting! I'll start with Unis, their eldest member is six years older than the second oldest while the rest of the members are closer together in age: 2001 2007 2007 2007 2009 2009 2009 2011 submitted by /u/AAALLY- [link] [comments]

Second generation onwards I've noticed a trend of the internet zeroing in on a singular woman. This isn't a kpop exclusive problem either. Alia Bhatt in India or Hailey Beiber in the west both face immense hate. This hate train intensified post them dating and then marrying popular celebrities Justin/Ranbir. This isn't the run of the mill men hating women issue because if we look closely a lot of the haters are women themselves. What drives this? I'm trying to understand if this specific flavor of hate is fuelled by the internet which took off post first generation in kpop. It's easier to fall for rumors or get into a hive mindset by having negative content being pushed onto a haters feed to ensure they stay longer. Or has this level of hate existed in the first generation too? submitted by /u/Wooyoungsmole [link] [comments]

They’re all still around 14 ish. Supposedly they’re releasing their first song in a few days or something? Anyways I just wanted to know if any of you knew if they’re real or anything. Also sorry if this is the wrong post flair it’s my first post here submitted by /u/IDontKnowMyGender82 [link] [comments]
