"That is how Kpop feels to me. All that choreography, exercise, training, being raised from a child to fill this role. Then it comes to the music and they basically just give them whatever crap they wrote on a napkin drunk on the rice wine last night"
"K-pop is the death of art. K-pop groups? Rich Media conglomerates find hot Koreans and then train them. The music is manufactured. It has no soul, no true meaning, no emotion. It's made to appeal to a mass market and nothing else. It is to music what McDonalds is to the culinary world"
"The answer as to why it's so popular is that the Korean government is pumping huge amounts of cash into k-pop and other pop culture to export it into the rest of the world. We don't see it too much in the west, but there is a huge backlash of this in china and Japan. They are passing legislation to "
"If you were on the internet from 2018-2021(?), it was impossible to escape them. Any viral tweet had dozens upon dozens of replies of kpop stans spamming videos of their idols dancing to get views."

"If the surgery looks bad you'll see a 3 paragraph post about how surgery is spiritually evil and how it never works, it's just delusion and dysmorphia, maybe someone will link that page from the Roald Dahl book, but if the surgery is a success and they actually look pretty after like Lisa from Black"
"The Aspergers-level obsession with something that is so obviously corporate in nature (even compared to other genres of music) seems really weird to me personally. This then transfers itself to an obsession with Korean culture in general."
"the verdict is out: tiktok, kpop and anime are ruining zoomers artistic potential and making society morally bankrupt."
"I think the Zoomers have already nearly eclipsed years and years of hip hop culture infusion into fashion and body image with their love of KPop. The era of Asian fetishization has begun in a major way and it's rolling through like a steam train."
"Sometimes an iljin gets the chance to leave this pipeline to become a K-pop idol. Their bullying victims will try to expose their past online."
"for the past few years he's become completely obsessed with kpop idols. he sends them to me constantly and i keep trying to get him to stop to the point where i just call them racial slurs now because i know (and he also knows) that this complex he has about them is bad for him but he won't do anyth"
