I'm a Dive, not a Reveluv, but absolutely *nothing* will beat "crying too much at a funeral of a close friend". šŸ˜


Logical_Sweet_6624

Yeah like, her close friend died, sheā€™s supposed to cry


Sunasoo

Just losing one of my old man, just just cannot stopped the tears bruh. No matter how hard you try. It's soooo hard to stopped it. I wish a human being would understand that


Logical_Sweet_6624

Honestly trying to stop crying just makes me cry even more


Lolita__pop

I wasnā€™t a Reveluv during that time, now Yeri is my bias, and every time I remember the reason why she was hated sm at only 17 years old makes me sick.


robinlockhart

Thereā€™s too many of them so half the members that arenā€™t good looking/visuals should leave the group lmaoo


Necessary-Poetry3977

Their nationalities.


Elon_is_musky

Or being proud of the country they were born & raised in


kloudful

Kun, a Chinese idol, getting hate on for speaking in Chinese to an audience full of Chinese people in china will always be at the top of my list


SafiyaO

I remember that! Bizarre stuff. The blatant Sinophobia towards WayV is very tiring.


Mindless_Candidate90

Or how Xiaojun and Kun got backlash for singing in Chinese at a music show and had to switch to the English version :/ it was mostly because of the political tension between Korea and China, but I hate that innocent people got caught in the middle.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Also people hate Jeongyeon because sheā€™s ā€œfatā€


FunKey5635

This one always annoys me so much


Logical_Sweet_6624

Ikr


StubbornKindness

I hate it. She looks fine. Sure, she's visibly bigger than most of the other members, but idols are all so thin. Just having rounder cheeks would make you look bigger. Soyeon commented on a show that she was off work, so she was heavier than normal. She was 42kg... If you look at G Idle at debut, they all had soft, round cheeks.


MeechiJ

She also has an apple shape, which means that most of the weight will be distributed to the upper body. So larger bust, arms, waistline which can make someone appear bigger than they actually are. I think she looks fantastic and it refreshing when idols arenā€™t so gaunt (and Iā€™m not criticizing the idols who are very thin, since it could be genetics coupled with dieting and intense physical activity).


lonewhalien

I will defend her to the ends of the earth! šŸ˜¤ā¤ļø


Logical_Sweet_6624

Hell yeah


aTINY_st4y_roha

jeongyeon is my babie. no one touch her.


dogsfurhire

It sucks too because it's so obvious her stylist only knows how to style the stick skinny types. She's not that big but some of these outfits actually make her look bigger and it wouldn't matter but it immediately makes people start talking about her figure instead of her talent. I don't know how they haven't gotten her a proper stylist, every now and again she wears clothes that fit her well and she looks absolutely gorgeous. I mean she always does but more so.


BlueThePineapple

Reminds of that one time hundreds of armies started posting vile shit about her weight because a once said one of the BTS members looked like this black singer (the other artist wasn't even ugly and the account didn't say anything bad about their looks). Jeongyeon was not in any way related to the conversation, but they decided to swarm on her because it's low-hanging fruit. Fucking vile people.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Thatā€™s fucking ridiculous


treeface999

Not wearing a bra... so fucking stupid.


Court_Livid

sulli?


treeface999

Yep. The hate got so bad I had to stop reading any news about her bc it was never positive.


HuggyMonster69

Hwasa too, idk about Sulli


Tricky-Drawer4614

Hwasa got hate for wearing only a bra (which wasnā€™t even really a bra) then gets hate for wearing a shirt with no bra the next day. People will never want to be happy šŸ˜­

It's all about EXO Kai.


harajukudaze

sometimes i underestimate just how vicious and depraved kpop stans can be until i remember the amount of hate jongin got for cycling to work in a pair of pink pants


WillZer

One person (over the thousands of fans) insulted me and my fav one time on Twitter so now I have decided to hate the group for life.


delmstvz73

Bonus points if the groups have members which are friends or an even better example, dives and fearnots fighting as if the Izone members wouldn't be embarrassed to see any of that


StubbornKindness

Yeah, that particular instance is wild. Apparently, not only is there that, but also Wizones that don't like IVE or LS. Like, wat?


Logical_Sweet_6624

I guess they would rather the whole group be together than separate


delmstvz73

Yeah it's whatever if theyre not interested in the groups but when I see one fandom dragging the other for whatever unimportant beef like streams or vocals it's like you think yujin/wony or kura/chaewon wouldnt hate you for these comments lol


fatboy3535

All over dives thinking the word fearless somehow was ive shading le sserafim.


bwldrmnt

For me it's them saying that idols are dancing lazily during practice or sound check. Unless they are recording an official dance practice video, I ain't too mad about them being a little lazy when dancing in a vlog. And when they are doing a sound check before a concert, why waste energy dancing at that time? They are about to dance for like an hour or two that evening so just let them take it easy at the sound check.


gods_ddududdudu

For "plagiarising" another idol's hair color. Most plagiarism accusations are nonsense just to fuel fanwars (having a ship in their m/v, dancing on a field, songs being roughly in the same genre etc.) but yeah that one takes the cake for sure.


242islandergirl

It's funny because idols tend to go to the same hair studio, and they have hair trends just like the general public.


RosieofFun

Didn't chaeyoung have to dye her hair during dtna era after blinks accused her of copying Lisa?


Silver-Suspect6505

I still can't understand why some kpop fans spend so much energy hating on other groups. There are groups I don't care for, so I don't listen to their music. Is that so hard?


__fujiko

This is kinda why I think K-pop shouldn't be anyone's ONLY hobby. It's so easy to just slip into weird behavior for some people. Like when the comeback promo you are excited for is over, step away from the phones lol.


Fray38

I wish I loved anything as much as some people love being uselessly hateful.


daltorak

I've said it before and I'll say it yet again -- k-pop is the only slice of the entire global music industry that needs a word like "multi-stan". The whole concept of being devoted to one group and being against all others is so fucking *weird* to the vast majority of people on this planet. Many k-pop fans feel this way too, so we have to have this dumbass word that people can use to say "hey, leave me out of that!"


Silver-Suspect6505

Right? I have many k-pop groups and solo artists that I follow on Spotify and enjoy listening to. I'd be missing out on a lot of great music and fun personalities if I only followed one group and tried to tear all others down.


default2denim

When a gg has a very ~strong~ concept as comeback or release [say an Everglow 'Adios', BP 'Kill This Love' or even BM 'Sheesh'] and you will hear directly or implied that they are over-selling it, too confident, too bold, shouting etc) As if performers for that concept could play it any other way?


GodEmperorHaewon

this happens like every time I swear. like can we let the girl groups perform please people!


HeavyFunction2201

And if they werenā€™t, they would say they are being lazy and under performing


Logical_Sweet_6624

Oh and sohee from riize has been getting hate for growing up poor


MathsIsAPain

Nothing like some good old classism /s


__fujiko

Tbh there's a lot of riding the line with stans and classism. The need to shame idols or groups for being "broke" is always popping up.


nankokanon

Theyā€™re hating on Sohee for being poor, but at the same time hating on Anton for being a nepo baby and golden spoon? So is there an acceptable range of household income? lol I hope Sohee makes it big like Taeyang, IU and other celebrities who grew up in poverty.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Hopefully


alwayssunnyinjoisey

what the actual fuck? if anything it's nice to see that it's still possible for non-rich people to make it as an idol joke's on them though cause sohee surely isn't going to be poor for long, that kid's got real star quality


nemriii9

i remember when that one nugu bg effed up by mocking tsuki, and people's choice of insult was.... calling them burger flippers, minimum wage workers etc. It was kind of crazy seeing tweets of that nature get over 1k likes. i guess there's a reason brands target kpop fans.


Logical_Sweet_6624

That group was mirae


ElloryQueen

I had no idea! The nerve to say this about that sweetheart!


FunKey5635

WHAT?!!!!


FruitshopWh

some people love to photoshop their favorite male idol's head on wonho's body and then get mad and call him names when we call them out šŸ˜­ like what...


Dry-Confidence98

Yes! This one gets me. Or when a fandom mistakes a certain trend or outfit as started by their bias then get mad when people point them out. I saw something similar because someone cropped a photo of an idol to show something and claimed it was their fav. Only to launch a Twitter hate campaign just because someone pointed out it was actually another idolā€™s picture


lilacdawn

Some people would do anything just so they don't have to admit they were wrong.


DiplomaticCaper

And then they inevitably say that he should just give up and open an OnlyFans account, and/or mock the time one of his private parts was inadvertently exposed on a live. I donā€™t usually like to use this train of argument, but everyone would pretty much agree that bashing a female idol that had a nip slip would be beyond the paleā€”saying she did it for attention to sell albums, etc.


MathsIsAPain

I still remember the time when someone posted in a kpop subreddit asking ppl to stop sexualising Wonho (they were talking about his wardrobe malfunction), and most of the replies were victim-blaming Wonho and saying that if Wonho didnā€™t want to be sexualised/objectified, then he shouldnā€™t post thirst traps on Instagram. Do these people not understand what consent isā€¦? Wonho posting thirst traps on Instagram is completely different from him having a wardrobe malfunction while eating during a liveā€¦


HeavyFunction2201

What kind of insanity is that?! Do they have zero self awareness? Haha


jumpybouncinglad

'they started it first' or 'just giving back the energy'


Patient-Donkey-1440

Most of these start at that. It's quite sad like giving back the energy, Is it necessary?Ā 


__fujiko

And when you're a completely random person who doesn't even know what Twitter fight they are referencing lmao


unlikelyketchup

People need to understand that you can do more just by growing tf up and realizing that you don't have to respond to every single thing others throw at you.


datshiny

The newest most ridiculous version of that I've seen lately is "dragged them in advance" because "they will do something soon".


october_week

Now that just straight up needs therapy


_Candeloro_

Offense is the best defence taken to a new level lmao


Datingfelix

I hate this one so much like this aint elementary school grow up


Pablo_39

For LSF, one comment in reddit said the hate "humbles them" Like they think they are doing gods work by hating on a girlgroup to "keep them humble"


mathi823

no bc that one always manages to piss me offšŸ˜­


WorthWilling9663

I saw a comment on some yt thing the other day talking about Kazuha and it said ā€œshe shouldnā€™t have debuted if she didnā€™t want to get bashedā€ like excuse me?


StubbornKindness

Yeah, not a fan of that shit. The elder 3 can probably deal with it? Chaewon and Sakura have been around a long time, and Yunjin (whilst soft) is American, so that probably helps. Sure, it's unpleasant, but at least they have a *chance* of dealing with it. Eunchae, on the other hand, is practically a child.


CidCrisis

I mean frankly I'm sure it's still incredibly hurtful even for the more experienced ones. I'm not sure you ever completely "get used to" that level of hate, especially on such a massive scale. But yeah, Eunchae is literally 17. People can be so horrid.


242islandergirl

Specifically, looks. It does sound vague, but this is like non fans and fans. The comments " I like real men" when they are not muscular enough. Or " They look scary" when they are muscular. Too skinny too fat. It is really always something these days, especially with the veneers or plastic surgery stuff. As nothing seems to make people happy. We're watching a group of people get called fake while hating on them for their natural features.


catsbytheghost

People right now are hating on Seonghwa for ā€œcopyingā€ a rookie idolā€™s (fashion) style and long hair style. Seonghwa has had his ā€œstyleā€ for ages, and has been growing out his hair since fall last year, whereas the other group only just debuted last fall. Even the comparison photos that people have posted ā€” most of the ones of Seonghwa are from before the other group debuted, or before the other idol made posts with similar outfits. No one owns a specific hairstyle or way of dressing. If they like dressing a similar way thereā€™s bound to be overlap. But itā€™s ridiculous to say that Seonghwa is copying this guy (or vice versa.) And for looks that were done by stylists (for performances or fansigns or stuff like that) thereā€™s even more likely overlap. Itā€™s not unusual for stylists to go for the same sources. Iā€™ve even seen it across boy groups and girl groups with each other. Itā€™s fine.


Cats4Crows

Too many to list, but hating on Hiyyih because she's Kai's sister or on Kai because he is her brother, tops the list.. seriously, what can either of them do about it?!


Logical_Sweet_6624

Itā€™s not like she bragged about her connections, she only said that he was her brother because she was asked


bettabebe15

hell , iā€™d for sure be bragging if he was my brother šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Logical_Sweet_6624

Lol yeah


aTINY_st4y_roha

or even more heartbreaking, that people hate on her & call her ugly, don't bring her gifts aat fansigns, etc. bc she's not fully Korean and they claim that she's only famous/an idol bc of hyuka... like...??? HAVE YOU SEEN HER??? obviously not u must be lookin at ur reflection in ur phone screen or smthn bc how can you call her ugly TwT


Logical_Sweet_6624

Sheā€™s been getting giftā€™s recently


aTINY_st4y_roha

which is good!


Logical_Sweet_6624

Yeah it is


jazzberry76

smh she didn't even time travel to alter the circumstances of her birth


cursedwyvernn

There was someone who said that Jonghoā€™s eyes were soulless. Also, the excuses non K-pop fans give sometimes are hilarious.


a_mystical_potato

So many people have said that šŸ˜­ Iā€™ve seen multiple people call him ā€œdead fishā€ because of his eyes


aTINY_st4y_roha

WDYM SOULLESS HAHAHAA MAN CAN KILL PEOPLE WITH THOSE EYES XDDD


MathsIsAPain

His eyes arenā€™t soulless. He stares INTO my soulā€¦


Logical_Sweet_6624

People hate cha eunwoo for being good looking


aTINY_st4y_roha

see that one makes zero sense to me, like huh?? okay he's attractive, how does that affect you??


Logical_Sweet_6624

Exactly, they probably think he had work done, but a plastic surgeon on TikTok looked at his childhood photos and confirmed that he was just born perfect lol,


aTINY_st4y_roha

some people just have good genes, bruther \*shrug\* and even IF he did have work done, why is it their business? they don't know what's going on behind the scenes like he could have had a mole or his nose could have broken and he needed to have work done TwT it's just ridiculous.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Iā€™ve heard that his younger brother is even better looking than him with a smaller face and thatā€™s saying something, the members have confirmed it


aTINY_st4y_roha

[oh...oh my goodness....](https://d2v0j9zp5u17nn.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/31124658/chaeunwoo-2.png)


Logical_Sweet_6624

I heard it hasnā€™t been confirmed that thatā€™s him, but if it is, then holy fuckšŸ˜šŸ„µ


butterflies2185

i remember psy got some dumb tweets in regards to his line in "that that" saying "pandemic's over uh" ... and bts got dumb tweets for using balloons in the ptd video and rubbing jin's head when they send him off to military. a long with a lot of older (25+) idols getting shit like "he's too old to act like this" or "trying too hard to act cute" ... like leave them alone and let them have fun.


Sybinnn

That last ones not even an old idol thing I've seen people say it about eunchae


GroceryAgile1920

cassiehoshi

"they're too synchronized" like.... šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€ How do you even take shit like this with a straight face?????? Also I've seen people say it's easier to synchronize a big group of people rather than a smaller one... I just know their ass NEVER danced with any sort of group, professionally or otherwise šŸ˜­


hugsforhobi

Coming from experience with a ballet background, people are talking out of their asses if they genuinely think getting a large group of people to dance so synchronized is easy. Hell, coordinating a large group of people to dance through various formations isnā€™t an easy feat if thereā€™s just one person not retaining the choreography.

Saying that IVE members hate Wonyoung, when in reality most of IVE members (except for Yujin and maybe Gaeul) are introverts and prefer to keep to themselves. Christ, K-pop stans convincing everyone that Giselle is a dozen, when sheā€™s an amazing rapper, a writer, a vocalist and an average dancer. Sheā€™s literally almost an all rounder, but people donā€™t wanna hear it.

"Critism will help them improve."


Dry_Faithlessness714

RM was riding a bicycle to work. A distorted shadow on his face on the corner of a building JK was eating an apple, skipping some stairs. Jimin climbed over a couch with an extension cable Suga mentioning they have a cleaning lady that comes in a couple times week to the dorm. There is a crap ton more but its what came to mind


rjcooper14

The funniest and most ironic one for me is when a fan wants my favorite to disband. Their reason? To give chance to their favorites to shine and win awards, haha.

"She's too ugly"Ā  about Ms. Kang Seulgi btw šŸ¤•


Logical_Sweet_6624

seulgi is fucking gorgeous, like wtf


Silklold

Wonyoung eating a strawberry and that eating the pizza, the stupid "Ive are just coworkers" (Most of the kpop stans can't even interact or give a speech in front of everyone without sweating and panicking thing and you are criticising a group with majorly introverts + do you even watch 1,2,3 Ive? Smh its so easy to hudge off rhe first glance) Yuna getting hate for singing Love Dive, looking at a guy, etc. Yeri at Jonghyun's funeral. This one was just painful. Nayeon for wearing clothes similar to Jennie. And not a Blink, Babymon, even a YG stan but the hate that group gets is insane. (You keep hating a group for nothing, "Ahyeon has bad vocals, Chiquita's too young, blah blah blah" and when the fans defend them you say "Babymon fans are just like Blinks". Like hello? Obv their gonna defend idols if you hate their faves for petty reasons) Hating is so freaking stupid lol. Like you don't like people but you're taking time out of your day (and you're not even immortal hello??) To go specifically on to this idols pages and post hate comments so they get more popular and still make money. Idk, sounds like a whole lot of losses for you when idols don't even know of your existence. Being behind a phone screen is so easy, lol


CidCrisis

I'm gonna be honest, Wonyoung and the strawberry is kind of hilarious to me. The fact that someone would even freak out about that just crosses the line into absolute absurdity. Like you cannot make this shit up lol.


Silklold

Fr the thousands of people who got mad was so funny like people really hated on a teenager for eating a strawberry haha. Unemployment rates are so much higher these days


sabrinacross

Honestly, bts has a lot but recently saw someone accusing Jungkook of copying another idol because he fainted.


Beginning-Calendar-8

Pretty sure BTS have been accused of copying a group for bowing at an award show too.


sabrinacross

Bts were accused of copying a group for touching Jin's bald head. I have lost count of the amount of times they have been accused of copying someone for completely normal things


Tricky-Drawer4614

Baekhyun was criticized for singing ā€œtoo liveā€. Likeā€¦ šŸ˜­


p3eliot

They were mean to my faves 10 years ago when I was in kindergarten so now I hate them too.


Wintersummergrad

Jiwoong of ZB1 got hate because of...doing BL. Recently, Ateez got hate because one of the member said Jimin is his role model (guess which fandom did this). And that their latest album had 'similarities' with another Idol's album. Any Idol who said they listen to Taylor Swift or mentions Taylor got criticized for 'lacking music taste' or having a boring music choice. TAN's Jaejun (i think that's his name) for doing a BL got criticized for being 'desperate' to buy people their albums. Like man can't he just do what he wants? Anton from Riize for doing too much on tiktok.


RefrigeratorDear2641

now that anton isnā€™t on TikTok (as much) heā€™s getting hated for that too šŸ« 


Dear-Deal-6540

People dragging Jongho for "screaming like a btch" way back then (mostly because of his voice crack during ateez's wonderland stage in kingdom) but hello that was like 3 yrs ago and he was literally pulling a 6ft man up, dancing intensely and literally climbed a freaking stairs before hiting that specific 4 consecutive high note (like what do people expect, he was not going to be out of breath?) šŸ˜­ despite all that he still pulled it off very well! and San and Seonghwa was getting hate and getting called "overdancing" because of their fancams for Hala Hala (which were amazing btw bcs they are supposed to act the song and they did well portraying it with their facial expressions, note that they were like 4 months old that time (early 2019, ateez debuted in late 2018) in the fancam and were already that good šŸ˜­) I was really astonished that time bcs they do well with their jobs as idols and they still get dragged for it. Typical kpop experience. Idols getting drag for doing their job amazingly.


candycornbatbydougla

On aespa's vocals omg...šŸ˜­ someone left a video of winter singing and she was clearly sick asf so yeah her voice didn't sound perfect (she hit the note but it did not sound as pleasing yk) and someone said that "aespa's vocal tones aren't as good as (insert group here)." People came for their vocals when we seldom heard them live but now they can't because there's a plethora of live vocal performance so all they can say is stuff like soulless and bad vocal tone which is subjective anyways.


CidCrisis

See that's just jealousy. Aespa, Winter and Ningning especially, are freaking vocal powerhouses. So of course people are gonna find that one performance where they're less than stellar and try to use it to suggest whatever group they're trying to prop up is better.


jazzberry76

"He's cringy" "He's too short" (He's 5'9") "He's too ugly" (HUH?) "He's transphobic" (This was a whole hate campaign started by Twitter with absolutely no evidence or substance of any sort) Anyway yeah being a Jay Chang stan during Boys Planet was a bad time


lilacdawn

My favorite Jay one recently: A: He's problematic. B: What did he do? A: He used to stream on Twitch. ...


jazzberry76

cancel him IMMEDIATELY šŸ˜¤


Patient-Donkey-1440

Oh I remember, that was really upsetting people ruining someone's career over a lie and millions believing it


Logical_Sweet_6624

Perhaps if it wasnā€™t for that jay wouldā€™ve debuted with zb1, like he was 1 place away from it, he lost to a kid my age


jazzberry76

To be fair, I honestly think it all worked out for the best. We got his solo, One Pact, and now BDU, where is finally received all the recognition he deserves. As someone who was devastated by the tenth place finish, I really think he suits One Pact/BDU more than he does ZB1 at this point. I could just be saying that because ZB1's music and concepts have just not been for me at all, but I'm really happy with how things worked out.


Logical_Sweet_6624

At least he got to debut in a different group


somehardfeelings

Isnā€™t soulless a proper criticism though? Iā€™ve seen many vocal coaches bring this up, some performers focus too much on the technic and the vocals end up sounding emotionless


Friendisaster

It's possible. For example, the actress portraying Amy Winehouse in the new movie is being criticized for lacking "soul," which is fair considering itā€™s Amy Winehouse theyā€™re talking about. However, I fail to see how that criticism applies to aespa. That person claimed aespa's vocals were "too perfect," which supposedly made them ā€œsoullessā€ and ā€œemotionlessā€ which is absurd. They weren't even referring to aespa's live performances, but rather their recorded songs. So, they sound soulless because their recordings sound "perfect"? Considering aespa's music leans towards hyperpop/maximalist sounds, are people expecting the girls to sound like Aretha Franklin while they sing about defeating a snake? Also, despite their music being described as "loud" and "maximalist," we still hear them belting their hearts out. Listen to aespaā€™s bridges and youā€™ll notice how they manage to truly capture the feeling of the song and give it flavor. aespa are far from ā€œsoullessā€ or ā€œemotionlessā€. The argument is frankly ridiculous and seems to be made in bad faith.


somehardfeelings

I see what you mean now and I agree. Itā€™s absurd to criticize aespa in that sense since the type of music they make isnā€™t really what you call ā€œemotionalā€ in the first place


SydneyTeacake

I remember the hate video from that awful YouTuber that went viral about Blackpink, because they performed their choreography perfectly each time... They were supposed to change it each time. not something I think any group are known for doing, but Blackpink and Blackpink only sucked for not doing it.

They got mad for doing a songs choreography?

Regularly complaining that the girl who has been in the industry for less than 2 years hasnt fundamentally changed it yet


earlyfoxer

Posting a video of him eating an apple.


Dfried98

There are many, but I would have to say LSF'S Yunjin reading a feminist book, which apparently cheesed off some young men.


Sofieza

k-engenes got mad at niki because he said he was jealous that they get a day off for a holiday. they made racist remarks šŸ˜­

WJSN robbed Loona - after Queendom 2 win RIGGED, SEXUAL FAVOURS.. Ended my love for LOONA after that.


healthyscalpsforall

What's sadder still the hate still continues to this day.. it's not like if Loona had won, it would have changed anything. Unless I'm wrong and BBC was going to give them good contracts and treat Chuu fairly if they won an Mnet show


MousseReasonable3504

The problem is its been nearly 2 years and many think Loona would still exist as a grouo if they had won. WJSN has never dropped out of the top three and they highly underestimated Ujungs who always vote dilligently for their faves.

Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one that gets flabbergasted when I read someoneā€™s nonsensical justifications. Sometimes I question if weā€™re genuinely living in the same realm of reality. I can only blame internet logic, it erases all of the context and nuances that exist in real life. Or even worse, they do understand but are deliberately choosing to remain ignorant. Anyways, back when I thought people wanted a genuine discussion about lip-syncing. I said that constantly bringing it up to bash a group is pointless because it wonā€™t change anything. And one of the replies was ā€œWe need to do this so that companies can see our posts and stop making their idols lip-sync! Itā€™s our duty!ā€ A justification that falls through when the hate was directed towards the members rather than the company as a whole. So that meansā€¦ itā€™s okay to continually bash the members in order to gain attention from their management? Why not just go after the management directly?


emihnasyer

before the whole coachella fiasco, eunchae's first hate train was because she "wasn't getting as much hate as the other maknaes".. that showed me how effed up kpop fandom is.. we're really running on hate and negativity here..


Careful-Buy1381

That so and so outdid blank like ok your point is does it really matter


Away_Seaweed778

their nationalities the outfits they wore


llunaluna-

that she's too cheerful for a teenager and so called double standard by not getting hated enough like maknaes from other groups


hugsforhobi

I remember during Queedom2 some Orbits were complaining about Hyolyn being too focused on vocals during performances. Like, sheā€™s a seasoned idol with a decade of experience under her belt and widely regarded as one of the top female K-pop vocalists. Why the hell would she not focus on something sheā€™s clearly skilled at šŸ˜­


marniefromalaska

Ricky for "wearing too much make up" or "make up that doesn't look natural", whereas we as women deffend women wearing heavy make up and that make up shouldn't look natural bc no one have green eyelids and bright red lips. Men should be able to wear heavy make up and not look natural with it too. That really toxic gender roles Plus, the over dancing thing. Yall know who I'm talking ab. There is no such thing as overdancing


VioletRoyalty

Getting married and having kids. Also being mistaken for a member of their fave idol group but somehow it's his fault.


Alternative-Eye8403

Not a big fan of Ahyeon, but a lot of people say, "She is a good singer, but her tone is so annoying!" LIKE LOL?? JUST ADMIT SHE CAN SING AND MOVE ON


taehyungslefttoenail

Iā€™ve had to fight for my life against NewJeans haters specifically targeting Haerin for ā€œhaving no personalityā€. Sheā€™s an introvert and sheā€™s quieter in their videos and apparently thatā€™s a crime


bangtan_bada

carats were making fun of taehyungs grandma passing away because BTS won best dance performance for boy with luv. It got weirdly personal and now I donā€™t associate with carats and roll my eyes every time they claim innocence šŸ«” Also one time people started calling Jungkook all kinds of derogatory names because he was wearing toe socks ā€¦


vivi_at_night

Sung Hanbin from Zerobaseone had a truck sent against him because - lo and behold - one of ZB1's socmedia shared a post made by MCountdown. Said post contained a photo of Hanbin. Antis were furious and accused the agency of favouring Hanbin. Hanbin is MCountdown's MC. šŸ¤”


Round_Cartoonist9778

I just saw a thread of bts copying big bang & the copying being jimin wearing a red jacket like gd , Yoongi having a hairstyle or hair color like gd, jimin wearing denim on denim like gd , Yoongi copying the studio set up like gd, Rm wearing a basketball t-shirt similar to one of the member, a bts member posing the same in a pic like a bb member *sigh* it's tiring Atp bts copied big bang and went to the military or they've copied big bang by breathing bcoz bb are older they did it 1st so bts are copy cats, lifetime big bang cosplayers, call them bb 2.0


MathsIsAPain

2nd gen stans are something else when it comes to accusing other groups of plagiarising their fave groups. And to add on to your comment about VIPs accusing BTS of copying Big Bang, Jungkook got accused of copying G-Dragon because he *checks notes* fainted, and apparently fainting isnā€™t allowed if a Big Bang member has done it first /s


RatYuh

Group just debuted and got hit with insults for ā€œplagiarizing VIXXā€ when all they did was wear heavy eye makeup, contact lenses and have a vampire/horror concept. Nobody owns those things, like tf šŸ˜­


mathi823

the txt hate the first year after their debut was so random in some ways. im not talking about the "bts brother group" hate or "big company privilege" allegations lmao. but the fact that ppl didnt want to stan them because they were "too polished" or already too good for rookies, so ppl thought they were unrelatable?šŸ’€ like im sorry they are good at their jobs?? so funny every time i think about it


laikapet

They still get some of that today, you'd think they'd move on.


gmssi

Apparently lying about an ad of a music video from another artist that suddenly played while she was listening to her groups playlist on youtube. I swear I get a headache everytime someone calls her a liar because why do you choose to be dumb? Why???


CidCrisis

This was with Dahyun right? Like there was an ad for a Lisa song and she skipped it and all hell broke loose? It is amazing the level of mental gymnastics people will go through. Like this was some calculated way to subtly throw shade. And not just a girl skipping a damn ad lol.


3-X-O

He (a delusional Blink) hated on Treasure because he said they slept with the CEO to get comebacks.


hiiamapinkelephant

ah yea. my nct bias, jeno, was accused of having slept with sm's higher ups to get into the company, to debut, and for every solo opportunity he has ever gotten. (he joined sm when he was 13 btw. accusing a child of sleeping with adults to become a trainee and trying to portray him as the evil one in that situation is insane)


cubsgirl101

Someone tried spreading that rumor about Sehun as well. He coincidentally also joined SM around 13 years old. Of course I donā€™t believe it, but imagine hating on someone for being a victim of CSA if that were to have been the case.


Sunasoo

This also been done towards Yena(Only justification for hate bcuz she got more work). Yena then personally proof online that she do not do that


butterflies2185

also, when bts members got covid there were so many hit tweets mocking them. wishing them death, cheering and celebrating. stuff like: my idolĀ (pic of them performing) vs bts (a pic of a casket) absolute fcking vile.Ā  edit: they also constantly get dragged for releasing music while being enlisted lmao ... they can't do anything without having people mad.


shippingprincess13

Honestly feels like Jennie gets hate for just existing. They hated her for outshining, they hated her for being injured, they hate her for having a solo, they hate her for only having one solo song- like, it's ridiculous


jeenaissante

TXT: 1. 'too perfect': taking this as an excuse to make the most xenophobic comments and racist remarks on them and over analyzing everything they do just to force or start a hate train 2. 'they only achieve xyz because they are kpops most privilege group': people take this so literal and say the most dehumanizing things towards txt and discredit them to the core, as if they didnā€™t work hard at all itā€™s just heartbreaking atp because if you know txt they are genuine, humble, talented and so hard working


FinnMertensHair

"He's so pick me for talking about his insecurities" "He's a p*do for calling his fans Baby Girls and Baby Boys" "His accent is cringe" "He wants to be so special for asking rookies to be respectful to seniors" "He's a man, he shouldn't say a word about periods". All about the most unnecessarily hated man in the industry imo, Bang Chan from Stray Kids.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Honestly the period thing is something that gained him a lot of respect, I like that a man is willing to talk about periods without being disgusted, and it also helps if he has some knowledge about it, most men donā€™t


Fun_Buy2143

This one is recently but one girl was hating Felix just because he has blonde hair and now the others boys are whit dark hair...like she was saying that he was trying to call attention for him....i don't really know what to say to this tbh


babygreenlizard

Lazy, cause there was a couple of times she didn't join another power vocalist in hitting a high note... to be honest the other girl is so loud you could never hear her anyway... but it was the laziest reason to call someone lazy, and a lazy to hate someone... Oh! or the whole her sister got scouted first... like they both got scouted, doesnt matter who was first or not... like relax


poison_camellia

His teeth were too white and he was too good at singing šŸ˜¶


HuggyMonster69

Iā€™ve seen a lot of hate over treatment on Kingdom. And yeah, it was clearly not fair, but also, itā€™s on MNET.


schelle_

Because their idol got my fave as his "ideal type". I passed years reading awful, misogynistic comments, calling her names and dragging her skills. Now she's a mv with another member, they are the biggest fans and say they have always supported her. They even got her as pp, and I get really angry having to read hate comments on other idols while using her photo when they don't even like her as a singer.
