i'm so happy they at least acknowledged not all of us are toxic! also just a reminder: you're a fan of your faves no matter what anyone else says. you don't need to own certain things to be considered a fan, the duration of how long you've been supporting doesn't matter, and you're allowed to worry about other things other than your faves! just have fun and appreciate the music

[@Innocentsnow86]

So real for talking about the toxic fans, i hate seeing fans go against each other. When I think of toxic, it makes me think of the fans that swarm the airports... like can we just let our artist breath?

[@ginaverso]

When you mentioned the lightsticks, I remembered another kpop slang: black ocean. It's one of the saddest, I think. A black ocean happens when a fandom turns off their lightsticks collectively to "hurt" a group they don't like while the group is on stage performing. I think it has happened mostly at award ceremonies/concerts, because many fandoms gather there. Overall, black oceans are a sign of disrespect that we despise, because all artists deserve to see an audience with lights on for them. And the reason some fandoms have done it comes from fanwars (another slang xd). Fans not necessarily hate the artists, probably don't even know their music, but if the fandoms become "rivals", they might do black oceans to the other just to prove that "my faves have more fans than yours" kinda thing. Edit: faves is another word we use a lot, but it's not specifically kpop slang, I think.

[@jrmnrm915]

Wtfffff

[@letter131]

[@ginaverso]

Oh yeah, it is! Something sad and disrespectful, most of the times :(

[@Justamob_]

Yeah I saw videos of that

[@--butterfingers--8578]

Yeah for real.. Its really a heartbreaking moment for the artist who have experienced that. I recently saw some videos of Black pink Jennie getting a black ocean while the group performed in Indonesia. Getting hate from their own fandom is quite depressing. As a blink, Indonesian fans shouldn't have treated her like that . I hope she get lots of support from her other fans and blinks

I ordered 4 albums to get each members Makestar POB from KARD's last comeback and also ended up winning a solo call with J.Seph so as a winner I got a second set of the same cards on top of the set that already came with 😅 but I also safely resold the extra albums with everything they came with so people who didn't have the album already could get it.

as a hidden kard, i started watching the podcast to support bm and have been so blessed to meet many incredible people, and it's because of this show that i started listening to a lot of amazing artists (such as ph-1 and junny! who literally dominate my spotify fr) but above all getting to know ladies code and btob, especially once kingdom started. i started watching ashley and joan's youtube. it all became such a safe space for me. thank YOU for all your hard work, dedication, and above all the honesty.

[@hannahg2945]

i think definitely the industry pumps this idea to fans head if they dont stream their idols are gonna fall out of popularity and disband, so in the end the company profits bc of this and eventually their are those people that get overly obsessed with streaming and can become aggressive/toxic to other fans or fandoms for not streaming. its super sad what the greed of capitalism can do to people.

[@sab15915]

Shout out to those well mannered fans whatever fandom you belong. 🙌👏❤

[@blue__belief]

I appreciate Ashley so much at 44:41 for saying this because it needed to be said. I feel so acknowledged to hear them say this isn't it and that's not what they want. The fact that this came from artists themselves, not wishing this kind of pressure upon their fans. I hope some of the extreme fans out there know this is not the kind of culture artists want you to enforce on fellow fans or potential fans. Don't be so superficial! Artists make art, and art is art before any awards. Just enjoy it for what it is.

[@lizavetatyo]

Fan wars were a thing even 10 years ago. The only difference that before the vibe in general was nice because kpop wasn’t that huge back in the day and people tried to find some friends in that small community. Sometimes it wasn’t that easy because it wasn’t cool to be a kpop fan. Nowadays when kpop gets bigger there are so many toxic fans who disrespect previous generations and act like their idols are the only ones who make kpop globally famous. Shame on them.

[@rkhandle]

fan wars were a thing 25 years ago. they used to be pretty intense too from what I hear.

Yeah..if you ain't know who TVXQ are give respect...you have no clue

[@Novadestin]

The "vibe" in the past might have been nice for foreign fans, but it most certainly wasn't for Korean fans. The fanwars of 1st and 2nd gen groups are legendary. Straight up brawls, property damage, physical injury, even rape allegations were not out of the question. And that's just what fans did to each other, what some did to the idols they didn't like or even their favs was worse. The only good thing now is that it's mostly moved online as that largely removes the physicality of it, but that also in no way lessens it - in fact, it only makes it easier.

[@SuperLulaby]

I'll never get tired of listening to this trio. It's so chill. They were my happy pill during pandemic lockdown. It's thanks to them that I was able to keep my sanity intact during those trying times. Thanks guys. ❤❤❤

[@IndigoDetry]

43:00 I agree with ashley so much. when people are like “stream this song at this time for this amount of times so it can chart” i’ve never listened to music like that. If a song is really good I’m obviously gonna fucking listen to it and it’ll naturally be on a loop for me.

[@purplequokka]

speaking of the Aussie boys, skz is having a comeback soon too! pls invite them to get real! in the past 2 years, chan has been going on live every weekend and talks to stays about the realest and most random shit about life so i believe he’s the best guy to guest on the show. looking forward to this!! 🥺🙏

[@anyoneelsekitten]

this came at a perfect time for me, I have always been all about the music first and have pulled back from a lot of fandoms because they make everyone miserable. I hope more people get to find their healthy balance. I agree 100% agree that "toxic fans" scare away people who could really get into the music and artists. Happy and healthy truly is all that matters in life!!

[@paridhikag5440]

Yeah exactly. I accidently stumbled on twt and there I saw where fans were like if you want our artist at top or want this award then stream like a crazy fan and buy album in bulk and vote from diff accounts... And I was like.... What ????? . And also I saw some toxic fans comments and I Explored more ( you know curiosity 😂). I was shocked and couldn't believe that those comments were real and I immediately closed twt for my mental peace 😂😂😂 I was just happy when they discussed about this topic which is considered very sensitive topic for idols to discuss..

[@anyoneelsekitten]

@@paridhikag5440 I agree! its almost surreal to hear them address it so directly and candidly but its such a welcome change and people REALLY need to hear it. Toxic "fans" are incredibly selfish and dont think about how their behavior impacts everyone else. Whether they are hurting real fans, scaring away potential fans, amplifying other toxic fans because they feel validated or hurting the artists who seem to only want to spread love and their music. I dont think a single artist would ever condone their behaviors 🥲 hopefully someday they will become even less common.

[@paridhikag5440]

@@anyoneelsekitten Yeah. I agree with you. I too hope someday non kpop fans won't see kpop as a toxic place. . I am a kpop fan for more than 7 years now. I am a fan of 2 kpop groups and for others I am a casual listener means I just listen music and that's it. For those 2 groups I just listen music or watch content if I like and leave a positive comment. And I never compare 2 diff artist and also members from same group. The thing is when you can be a good person and spread positivity then why to chose a negative path. That's it.

[@anyoneelsekitten]

@paridhi_2517 100% agree again. I've been a fan since 2019 but have loved music my entire life and when ever possible in any music space I do my best to take care of it and always leave it better than how I found it. There is never a reason to spread hate, cut others down, be rude or inconsiderate. At the end of the day you never really regret being a positive person and that's just how I choose to live as well🥰

[@paridhikag5440]

@@anyoneelsekitten Yeah. You are right we can never regret for being a positive person.. See there are sometimes when we didn't get connect or like some music or content or it can be anything. So then the best we can do is don't listen and watch that content or music. But nowadays some people chose to take some time and write hateful comments and compare with other artist and then they name it as " opinion ". Hateful comment can never be an opinion. Personally when I didn't like something or it is not of my taste I just don't watch or listen to it. That's it. Why I will waste time to write harsh comments and then replying them.. When we write something good then others do reply with good words. So we like that kind of conversation. Just like ours we liked each others choice of words and thoughts.

My discovery road: -Became a Melody about 2 years ago, got curious about Peniel's character and Discovered that he was part of a podcast...the Get Real Podcast! -Peniel then has been my Ult Bias (see what I did there? lol) -Fell in love with BM's energy, love for life and positivity, then ultimately became a HK! And thanks to that I attended my first ever K-pop Concert when KARD came to the states!! -Ashley is like the bff I would love to have in my life! She is so real, relatable and has this energy that has no time for BS (neither do I). I had no idea she is a former Idol or that her group has two forever group members ('til like a week ago). -So it has been about two years and I am total DIVEr! -Thanks to DIVE STUDIOS I am able to be further exposed to amazing human beings like Eric Nam, Epik High, Alexa, Junny, Harry + more!! - This is a short summary of my journey as a DIVEr, HK and Melody (I am also a Shawol but that is for another day lol), but in another words I just want to express my gratitude, because y'll have unknowingly been there for me--and many others I am sure - So thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all that you do. And I do agree 100% with Peniel 56:33 that I too, do my best to reflect my "idols", as you are my inspiration to take care of myself Mentally andPhysically, and to always give it my all and my best in what ever I am doing. - K Im done - ---- Sorry not Sorry but the long azz post, but I just somehow felt compelled to write this essay lol!! --

[@bleust]

i agree about the cancel culture thingy too bcs some people doing that on social media are really just doing that as some kind of performative activism i feel like? its like not even a constructive criticism and its always out of hate instead of care about the actual issue too so its just honestly frustrating to see. like there are actual serious and worse things going on in the world and like ashley said, they're all humans soo yup.

[@geekdiggy]

i'm glad they have a place to address toxic fan culture. only the most brave veteran artists even mention it on any kind of broadcast, and those that do are either called heroes or get backlash.

[@_depaulakim]

This is the most important episode of GR. Cuz we all, as fans, know how these things happen in a daily basis, and it's not pretty! Having idols talking about these issues is so important, maybe some fans can really get real and stop some of those bul**t. Hopefully they will.

[@veem4059]

I’m glad you guys are having an open and honest conversation about fan culture, highlighting the good and bad. We definitely need more of this, maybe even dedicated episodes to different aspects of fan culture if possible. And since this industry thrives on parasocial relationships, I would really love to hear your stances on this part of the k-pop industry and fans. Going in detail on the way idols interact with fans, the fan service, the things fans expect from idols (standards of being an idol) and the different ways fan view/interpret their relationship with idols. Also the stalker ‘fans’/sasaengs and how that affects the k-pop experience for both idols and other fans. Great video as always❤

[@aldanagimenez222]

I really liked the whole interview. I love kard too much, I have been hidden kard for 5 years and they are so important to me. It is true that they made me happy millions of times. I met them at a difficult time and they made me smile, that's why I love them with all my heart and am so grateful. I'm glad to know that matt receives all that love from hidden kard, we appreciate their music and we want the best for them

This was a GREAT great episode. All episodes of Get Real are great but I loved the conversation about toxic kpop fandom behavior (40:42) and especially Ashley saying that doing things like mass streaming to the point where it interferes with your daily life isn't what they as idols/artists want from their fans- being a fan should be enjoyable for everyone. Artists/groups really don't address the issue enough, which is too bad but it's nice to hear those toxic fans being called out for what they are 👏 HEALTHY FAN CULTURE, everyone.

[@nizar6156]

Like idol like fans, I agree with that. I know idol just human, but I don't like when the idols support their fans to be toxic even it just a joke. I mean there are some idols feeling so proud when their fans known as the most scariest fans. And "protect" the idols but it just make them known as toxic fans.

[@sedie94]

Really enjoyed this episode so much! I'm a Lavely and Hidden Kard, myself. I appreciate y'alls view on fandom because as much as I love kpop I know sometimes people are going to view the fandom negatively. I feel like i support kpop in a reasonable capacity (for kpop standards lol) as much as I support non kpop artists that I love. But for some reason I'm only looked at differently for being a kpop fan. No one ever judges me for liking Sza or Megan Thee Stallion but If I tell them I'm a kpop fan, I'm treated a bit differently. It's nice to know y'all think about the fans this genuinely. I haven't listened to much of BTOB but I'm a Peniel fan too lol because of this show and a bit of kingdom. I've been a Lavely longer than a Hidden Kard and it makes me so happy to see Ashley laughing with friends and giving her opinion, etc! And BM the new music was fire!!! I went to the Dallas concert, it was so good! -Sorry for the super long comment lol

Proposing an idea for Get Real fandom name: Realest!! Cause we're the Realest B)

I loved this episode ❤ especially talking about how serious and toxic fandoms can get. I’ve definitely been a fan of many various artists and have been intimidated by some fandoms because of the standards that are built up. Just like how y’all mentioned some people purchasing so many album copies, streaming, and researching everything about their idols can seem a bit over the top. I definitely am trying to not get influenced by that and just enjoy the artists’ music and what they do rather than going overboard. A melody here ✨💘🤟🏼 (I’ll look forward to a BTOB comeback!! It’s been awhile!)

Always proud to be a melody 💙 Hidden kard and lavely are fandoms that we can trust and be friends with. Get real listeners let's make our hosts proud of us too like their group fandoms! 💪

59:20 que lindo como habla de matt 💗 el siempre da lo mejor de si y pone todo su esfuerzo y dedicación. lo admiro tanto

[@melindatn]

It's funny how BM mentioned acting, because my mum walked passed the tv and saw you, saying you looked like a familiar actor. I corrected her saying she hasn't seen you before, and then she tops it off by saying you're handsome. Matthew, you have potential fan lined up!!

the real reason I checked out the episode was to hear BM confirm or deny sliding into Katie's dms. not disappointed lol. jokes aside, always great to see the trio reunited! really is such chill, real energy

There are two things that should go away in Kpop culture 1. Streaming 2. Aegyo
