KPOP SHAMING
These days, you can't deny how the Kpop community has been growing worldwide. The supposed to be label of music of Koreans, became its own genre, and now it became a community. All over the world, millions of people from all age, supports Korean music.
I don't really see the problem with that. But as I observe the social media, there's this annoying issue that's becoming too large to ignore. As you can see, nobody made a fuss when Rihanna became famous. Nor when Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Justine bieber did. Not even when One direction almost had the world to their hands. No. It was okay when western artists rule. But when Korean pop/music is becoming famous, I can see a lot of people degrading and downright disgusted at KPOP.
And I can't seem to understand why.
In my country, Philippines, a lot of people are shaming, slandering, and judging people who are into KPOP. Saying they're arrogant, noisy, creepy, overreacting, crazy, immature and the list could go on. It's annoying because I know for a fact that it's not just the Kpop community. It's part of being in a fandom. Of being a fangirl.
I saw One direction fans faint and cry so hard when they had their concert in my country. One even used her tuition fee money for the ticket.
I've heard a person suicide back then when Bieber was in rehab for using drugs.
I see people trying to copy Swift's very curly hair and the way she dress.
I'm not hating. I'm just proving a point. We all do these things out of loyalty on our own idols. Stop looking at Kpop fans like they're about to kill your whole family or hate them like they cursed your ancestors.
I don't know if this is the case in any other country, but this issue is getting worse in Philippines. I hope other countries has it better. Seriously. Stop. And grow up. It doesn't make you a better person by judging the out of us.
