The Real Reason Why Female KPOP Idols Are Scared Of Korean Men

[@kookielit]

many of you often ask us why we blur some words or cut out some words from the audio. the answer is very simple… we don’t want to do that but we have to in order to follow youtube’s guidelines. we had tried to upload this video like 10 times before (maybe even more) but we had to redo it multiple times because youtube kept demonetizing it claiming that it contains controversial issues that are TOO descriptive. we wish we could cover more of these serious topics on the channel, but to do a 16-minute long video takes daaaays and it results in being demonetized most of the time. it’s very frustrating but there’s nothing we can do about it. it’s also sad how there are literal predators on youtube and that’s “okay” but drawing attention to the issues women go through is apparently too “controversial”. i hope that at least some of our viewers will appreciate this video and understand that if we could, we would use proper words to describe these issues and not censor them. after like the 10th upload, we lost any hope with this video and i expect it will probably get flagged in a couple of hours but well at least we tried. love you all!♥

[@camoospi9349]

First I want to say that I love you doing this videos to create awareness, specially when so many people romanticize Kpop, however, nobody should blur this words.. thanking to blur negative words is bullocks.. we should talk about those things openly and call things how they are to actually be able to push for awareness and change.. hiding things just to protect sensitive people doesn't help at all. One thing is to control people who misuse those type of words to actual hurt, bully, or spread hate, BUT NOT TO HIDE THE TRUTH WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CREATE AWARENESS OF THIS THINGS. SHAME ON KZbin TO TRY TO SOLVE NOTHING THE EASY WAY WITHOUT THEM TACKLING THE ACCOUNTS THAT ACTUALLY ARE DANGEROUS.

As a foreign woman currently living in South Korea, a lot of this pertains to non-idol females and especially to foreign women as well. I've been here for two years and have had several guys try to follow me and it had happened to other women I know as well. Many males will leer and get too close to you. Though crime is low here, sexual assault isn't. Women aren't really considered "victims" and are rarely heard. I am very cautious of men especially when there are a group of drunks. Being drunk is a great excuse for assaulting a female, I'm not joking.

[@brianlittrell797]

@@BELIEVER78989 Almost all businesses/companies have an evil interior. It is only a matter of degree. Not paying an employee a fair wage is a huge evil and almost all companies in the world do this. Taxing people too much is a huge evil. And most governments do this. Most people don't truly care about strangers, the homeless and the poor, even if they SAY they do. Evil is simply a lack of love which leads to people experiencing suffering. Expressing real love leads to the experience of joy, peace and freedom. Love's nature is to give unconditionally and it doesn't have negative judgements/thoughts about anyone. It is completely non-judgemental. And it is always warm and affectionate. And yet always stands up for what is right and harmonious for all. It is strong and kind and lasts forever. It's within each of us. Evil and negativity comes for our egos. Love and positivity come from our higher nature.

America’s law used to not protect women either, but people change it. What need to be done is Kpop fans need to stop criticize female idols when they gain weight and etc. Companies use them to profit with sex appeal and etc. when you are female supporting companies who do shitty things you are not doing them a favor. How is it people still don’t understand they are the ones who allow that kind of behavior? If companies keep making profit out of it, nothing will change how female idols are treated.

​@@teresahurlstone You should look up Johnny's Entertainment/Johnny's & Associates, that was alleged sexual assault on young males. If we want to reach true gender equality, it's time to stop labelling victims as male or female or LGBTQIA+ and just call them victims. True, majority are likely female but you can't say it happens more to females as a way to imply the other victims are less victimized. Victims are victims no matter their gender. Of course the majority will be females because females are biologically disadvantaged. There are all kinds of bad people in the word and gender is not always relevant when it is actually a power imbalance that causes this to occur.

I've always struggled with this.....on one hand, I love K-pop, and on the other hand, I HATE what they have to endure. Hate is a strong word that appropriately fits this topic. I'm a very optimistic person. However, when it comes to what they go through, I can never see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's too deep-rooted. Please tell me why 90% of young girls want to be Kpop idols? Whatever happened to becoming a doctor, lawyer, or scientist? I have a friend who is super talented, and if they auditioned they would more than likely make it. When I heard this was their dream and they will be auditioning.......I wanted to cry!! These young girls have no idea what they are signing up for but, their parents do! These men with power know the girls want it so bad they are willing to sell their souls. Recently a big artist said if they had the choice to do it all over again the answer would be NO. Black Pink is on top of the world right now. Every single member in the group is beautiful. I can't even imagine the hell they've been through and still going through, being surrounded by powerful men. I used them just as an example but, by no means am I discounting any other groups. Men included. This is one of many reasons why they suffer from a vast amount of mental health issues. Since the beginning of time, most Asian men felt women were created for their domestic and sexual pleasures. This is a learned behavior passed down from generation to generation. Girls are taught the day they come out of the womb what position they play. That goes for the young boys too. They are taught their position and the duties of a woman. Btw, who started aegyo? Why do have to sound like a child in order to be cute or flirtatious? For an adult to sound like a seven-year-old submissive child comes across as very disturbing to me. I guess it's all about the culture and how you grew up. I feel bad for all the idols. Sexual assault does not discriminate. They spend at least 10 years of their life more unhappy than happy,

Normalizing abuse is wrong. Victim blaming/shaming is wrong. They should tattoo crimes on foreheads so everyone knows what these men do when they think they can get away with it.

Every countries women are going through some thing. But people don't pay attention to it. It's serious but those people are always ready to blame victim.

As a new kpop stan I thought everyone in kpop is so sweet, so beautiful, so kinf but as I’m getting more into I realise how messed up this is especially for female idols, we still don’t know what what they go through i swear!!

[@qrizta2208]

79.7% is a lot.... That part gave me chills. Just thinking to myself about applying that % to the male idols I used to support; means around 80% of them are likely gf-beaters.

[@gumdeo]

could be more than 80%, because that is only the ones that admit it...

When a society likes alcohol so much, even celebrate if one could drink a lot at any time, then you will get issues like these

Well done for exposing toxic, sordid, criminal behaviour against women! 💙🙏🏻🕊🌞

[@yarrowlillies]

this is the reasons why i am scared every time i hear a kpop fan say, I want to be a k-pop idol. I'm not trying to be mean, I dont want to see any other woman, no matter their race, ethnicity or background, go through the horrors such as the Burning Sun scandal. but i dont say anything because I know that they'll think Im being horrible and ruining their dreams when all I am doing is being concerned about they're safety if they ever do commit to auditioning.

I find it interesting at how topics about the abuse of women and girls cannot go on without someone reminding others about "men enduring it too". I wonder if these people go to videos about ovarian cancer and talk about how (cis-gender) men are affected by testicular cancer.

men are so weak boohoo

[@vn4934]

The video is amazing.. I hope lots of people would appreciate all the info put in it. I was hoping Irene incident would be here. And targeting Korean men in general . .. 😅 I mean international stockers aren't any good. Anyways . It sheds light on a really important topic.. Thank you so much for making it

[@cameronfranklin984]

Well, I actually wanna see not only all of those men all across South Korea AND the rest of the whole wide world show respect towards every single female K-Pop idol out there because of course not every female idol wants to be touched or followed around sometime. You know? If a female K-Pop idol tells a crazy male fan that she just doesn't really wanna be touched or followed around at all, well then, rather than going ahead with it anyway, they should just respect their wishes and go about their own day.

I really want to know why YGs wife married him. He`s much older than her, ruined her career, is a disgusting and weird man and much more. It can`t be just because he`s rich. Please. In my opinion he`s the most toxic husband I`ve ever heard of.

[@rashiagarwal3113]

Someone said he got her pregnant on purpose. In SK being a single mom is tough. This could be one of the reasons.

This is why Heechul instantly was no longer my bias when I learned what a creep he can be. Also,I still don’t understand why people defend YG🤷🏻‍♀️I can understand if they don’t know his past with his wife,but there are tons of other reasons not to defend him.Same with Seungri

He dated momo, who is 13 years younger than him and have appeared in the industry ever since she is a minor…

[@olive4059]

Just the name “goo hara” brought back memories . I miss her so much. I hope no idol currently and in the future has to go through anything like any of these woman had to go through. I can’t believe there’s so much more than this going on probably right now
