K-pop star apologises to angry fans for having a boyfriend

This is just monetising incels, isn't it?

I hereby apologize to all women for being married and off the market these last 17 years. Don't worry, you didn't miss anything special.

The whole idol culture is fucked up and unhealthy to say that least.

I really don't get the mindset of these people, neither do they know their celebrity crush nor will they ever get an actual chance. It does make no difference to them. They could just as well fantasize about their crush leaving their partner for them.

I’m not sure which is more unbelievable:

That a bunch of mouthbreathing simps would think they’re owed an apology because a young girl wants to live her life as her own, or that these dirtbags actually received one.

This is shameful.

K-pop agencies are reportedly keen to promote their stars as romantically obtainable, while in Japan many pop stars have "no dating" clauses in their contracts.

Wouldn't being banned from dating make you the opposite of "romantically obtainable"?

Well happy International Women's Day, everybody!

Wait!@! What? She has a boyfriend? Does that mean that NOW I don't have a chance of being her one?

south korea fucking sucks

Her "fans" are deranged and she should feel unsafe around them.

If you sell an illusion you have to deal with both the delusional and disillusioned.

I accept her apology

Homer : [after hearing "Baby On Board" could be a hit] Wait'll I tell Marge.

Nigel : Oh, yes. Bouffant Betty. Well, I would prefer we kept your marriage a secret. You see, a lot of women are going to want to have sex with you, and, uh, we want them to think they can.

Homer : Well, if I explain it to Marge that way, I'm sure she'll understand.

[at the house, Marge cries into her pillow]

Homer : [trying to comfort her] Come on, honey. It'll only be 'til we finish our tour of Sweden.

She doesn’t need to apologize for having a personal life.

If you have three hours to spare, here's a very interesting documentary explaining South Korea's current gender issues. It also provides a very decent historical and cultural background:

You know theirs people actually like that but... Why are people this obsessed over another human? It's unhealthy.

lmao this is gold

Nothing new. A famous Hong Kongnese celebrity name Andy Lau has kept his marriage and wife a secret for over 25+ years.

In Chinese society, celebrities are a product and they are not allowed to taint the product.

This whole idol bullshit in Korea and Japan is one of those things that I will never be able to comprehend. It's such an alien concept.

Perfect Blue IRL

We can all agree that this is a shitty industrial practice but, is she a beneficiary or a victim?

I guess she's both to varying extents, and it depends how much she benefits while being exploited.

Incels ruin everything

Holy fuck, don't apologise, break this shitty expectation.

Korean "netizens" are brutal. This is barely scratching the surface of the madness. At least they haven't driven this celebrity to suicide. Yet.

smh why the kpop folk be trippin like they all weird as shit

I think they have the same issue in Japan as well

I'm sorry I have a life. It will never happen again."

This has happened with a few streamers hasn't it? It coming out they had a BF and they basically lost their viewership?

I am really glad that “Oshi no Ko” threw light at the creepy behind the scenes part of entertainment industry and how prevalent the problem is.

I know they prob don’t have the crazies like we do here in the states, but aren’t they worried about stalkers and other unstable fans?

Sadly this is common. I used to have Kpop news on my feed but had to unsubscribe. I couldn't take the ridiculous amount of whining over every little thing from Kpop fans.

My friend is obsessed with this kpop group but I don't really get it.

Wow it's almost like KPop stars have the same issue as NFL players. Dumb fans are dumb.
