Ok, I wanna deliver as appropriately as possible because people or fans might attack me. I would like to say that I've been observing Katseye for quite a while now, and I felt so comfortable being comfortable with being themselves and free, unlike most K-pop groups. All of the members had this "extroverted" energy well because technically, they're from the West (except Sophia yet Filipinos are known to have strong Western background tho), like they can express what they want to express without the fear of being judged by fans (I'm happy btw that they can express their sexualities too, something you would never hear from K-pop idols). One thing I also noticed that the fandom (eyekons) are not that protective because in my theory, they knew that the members can handle themselves against criticism and they wouldn't allow any negative feedback from people affect them, they just continue what they like to do unlike most K-pop groups were just being slaves. Not to mention, if Yoonchae debuted in a K-pop, she would surely adapt this typically Korean quiet attitude like who barely talks, and scared to talk most of the time unlike Katseye can say whatever the f*ck they want (except to the obvious negative things that would result in controversies). The only exception I can think for Kpop idols is Jessi tbh. Now I want to compare these for this analogy: Lara and Yoonchae, both being the youngest members in Katseye. Well, Yoonchae is gonna be protected by the majority of K-pop fans for being underage in an American girl-group filled with "IDGAF women" from the west, but thankfully the company didn't forced her to wear anything that would show her cleavage BUT LARA ON THE OTHER HAND, if I'm wasn't wrong about it but she starts wearing cleavage clothing BEFORE turning 18 and most fans don't give a damn about it, if Yoonchae does that on her free will, she would get heavily hated lol. As you can see, the different treatment between an UNDERAGE KOREAN with an UNDERAGE WESTENER is wild. Like gurl, I wear cleavage too before turning 18, and sometimes go to some clubs too, drinking for a bit (but obviously, I know my boundaries, just want to have some fun) even tho my relatives would judged from what I'm wearing but I don't mind them cause my family fully supports for being who I am. I just hope that yall K-pop fans would reduce your over-protectiveness to most Korean idols out there so that they can be free and have some fun like Katseye. It's ok to be protective, but only in times in need and if you think something is off but not try to be over-protective to the point that yall be hindering their freedom for themselves. submitted by /u/Alarmed_Pepper9665 [link] [comments]
