Idk who needs to hear this, but some of you are a lil too comfortable with blaming Koreans for every problem that the kpop community has. The Wonyoung hate train is THE perfect example of this. Now, I'm not denying that there's pointless shit that k-fans scrutinize. But hear me out on the Wonyoung case. Wonyoung typically gets hate on English platforms for some of the dumbest shit ever; and I'm not even a Wonyoung stan (my bias is Yujin). But I respect the grind. She clearly loves being an idol, and meticulously plans out every mannerism, expression, and pose. For some reason, there are mouth-breathing mfers who have a problem with that and call it cringe. I'm so tired of this nonchalant bs that ppl these days are obsessed with. Like let people BE CHALANT and let them express themselves smh. But I digress. Wonyoung typically gets hate for: some 'weird' mannerism that comes off as too tryhard being 'pick me' --> tf does that even mean, aegyo=/= pick me Her weight (although this does come off as coming from a place of concern, rather than malice) favouritism (although this allegation has died down recently) -> admittedly, probably the ONLY valid complaint Except for the last two, all of these are such nothingburger complaints, man. I've seen COUNTLESS English comments giving her so much shit for for 'pick me' behaviour. In the contrary, Wonyoung is often praised in Korean comments because Korean society often rewards tryhards like Wonyoung. Like all these drama channels just seem to milk 'hate comments' from the Korean version of 4-chan. Like ik 4-chan is not an accurate representation of every anglophone out there, why is it hard for anglophone kpop fans to understand that? Now I'm not saying that English fans don't like tryhards (there's a reason why wonyoungism is a whole cult), but liking cute/princess-like Wonyoung appears to be a more niche aspect of western society. Anyway, sorry for the incoherent rant. Feel free is disagree. submitted by /u/erzastrawberry101 [link] [comments]
The Wonyoung hate train is ran by i-fans, not k-fans
