I mean, for the Irene and RM book, it would be a kind reminder that both idols have a completely different fandom demographic 🤔you won't see Irene middle-aged korean male "fans" go after RM for the same thing.

[@it.comes.around]

exactly. the biggest problem is that the people commenting on all this are usually two different groups, with some overlap. irene and all of red velvet got hate from men whenever feminism was brought up, because red velvet have a big male fandom, especially irene herself. compare most of her criticisms to the support seulgi gets for something like having a no make up look or being friends with a male idol like got7’s bambam, when she has a larger female fanbase. or look at how a lot of female groups with receive criticism from fans of other female groups because the lifespan of girl groups is so dependent on appeal to the general public, resulting in massive amounts of girl on girl hate. the problems are not solely with a double standard, although one exists in the society itself, but the real issue involves girl groups being marketed for the general public vs boy groups being marketed towards a fanbase. a fanbase is solid and will defend an artist against criticism and general public gives and takes it’s favor day to day. and when a group is marketed to the general public, mainly s. korea, they are going to face the dark side of their societies double standard towards women, from behavior to appearance. to change this, girl groups need a fandom, and a strong one at that, which will stop a company from forcing an idol to change to please the public, as they will no longer need the gp for financial support, and to reshape what is acceptable to comment about female idols. as much as boy group stans can be annoying, you have to admit that those with a strong fandom, or a bigger international fandom, are always the ones being used in these comparisons videos and showing that criticism of them is often drowned out by praise. a good example of how this works would be hwasa. she got official complaints launched about her choreography at one of the university festivals, a society issue, but she also got massive support because her fanbase was built on people who want to support hwasa, not just riding on the success of a single mass appeal comeback. strong fanbases for women, usually by women, is a far more effective solution than constantly complaining about the double standard. take the power away from those 40 yo men to dictate what women can or can’t speak about and give it to the people who will actually support the artist.

[@eijiroukirishima1600]

It’s because they don’t feel safe. Misogyny is so rampant in the industry and country. Female idols get exploited constantly and they know that staying away from men is the best way to stay safe. The problem with a lot of male idols is the fact that they have so many adoring female fans cheering them on and it gets to their head. Eventually they feel like they can have any girl they want and that develops into them believing they are entitled to any girl they want, which is when they can get more predatory. Again this obviously isn’t all male idols, but it’s enough for it to be a serious problem. Please just remember that you never know what an idol is truly like behind closed doors.

[@dowini]

A girl on tiktok said that biy groups are nolonger lucrative in SK and boy groups are no longer put together as much as it was because investors are afraid the boys might later be involved in sexual scandals. And since its a very patriarchal society so. It really gets you thinking.

[@CottidaeSEA]

That also has to do with a lot of trends. Teenage girls used to be all over boy groups, they no longer are. I'd say boy groups were having a downward trend before most of these scandals even happened. While they were still popular, they had reached a plateau and with a group like BTS becoming less active, that had a massive impact on boy groups overall. There's also the feminist movement which disproportionately favor women, largely because it's primarily composed of women. That in turn causes an upward trend for girl groups and particularly those who are perceived to promote such ideas. So the scandals are honestly pretty minor in terms of the popularity loss. I also want to point out that investors only care about their money and there were scandals before which did not even make them budge. I think this has more to do with how lucrative the industry is as a whole, or lack thereof. They don't get a return on their investments and that's why they don't invest as much. Similar trends can be seen in other industries such as the game industry and IT as a whole. It's honestly just a matter of time before the economy just implodes.

[@dowini]

@@CottidaeSEA well explained but don't you think that sexual scandals being expected with boy groups is also an issue? Genuine question. Cause there are so many sexual harassment cases in SK regardless of the entertainment industry. But if one is a celebrity then they might not be able to get away with it?

[@CottidaeSEA]

@@dowini Those scandals are obviously a consideration, but I don't think it's as big as it is made out to be. Out of all groups, there are only a few with such scandals. I do think it's something that will force the industry to change a bit though, hopefully for the better. It's hard to tell beforehand. Becoming more restrictive can ironically cause those issues to get worse. I also want to point out that the victims should report the crimes far more quickly to not let the culprits do it to more people. That is something which needs to get better at a global scale.

We need to learn to respect all girl groups. Additionally, there are many group chats being exposed where fans make rape jokes about male and female idols from other groups. I’ve seen one involving BTS members and ITZY. In those chats, the male fans are from fandoms like BLACKPINK and aespa. Instead of calling them out, the female counterparts in their fandom are often supporting them with likes and retweets. It's so pathetic.

[@C-Locke]

I remember Jackson Wang, walking green flag that he is, noticed the situation with Irene and San-e and intervened at one point, placing himself bodily between the two when San-e was invading her personal space and Irene was visibly uncomfortable. While there are certainly predatory male idols, there are also true gentlemen out there, like Jackson. Unfortunately, the reality of this kind of power dynamic is across all cultures. You hear the same kind of stories in the US in Hollywood. It is dangerous to be a young woman -- even a child! -- in these industries.

[@Sassarai916]

Kpop fans in general just seem too extreme and constantly want their idols to apologize for every little thing

[@Wontwastemytime]

Well many knetizens actually do that. I know i-fans aren't better but the "apology for little thing" stuff almost always comes from Koreans

[@chaewonsite]

That’s not the reason why did you not promote in South Korea the reason why they didn’t used to promote was because YG Intertainment had bad relationships with broadcasting agencies which car is the members to never go to any broadcasting agency

[@DianaOsazenaye]

[@BELIEVER78989]

Thats not the reason💀

[@sunghanbinah]

Because they are desperate for Western validation and want to become global names instead of restricting themselves into 1 country, even if that includes starring in a series that glorifies r_pe and objectifies women.

[@Lalisa3.0]

The first topic is so true the girls get so much hate for acting their age and trying to spice things up and get hated on by everyone and parents cause I guess the parents can’t raise their own kids while male idols who also haveyoung fans can go and act like they are hunching the ground , take off their shirts, lick their lips and do more sexual things on stage and it’s oh oopa I love you or I love him I wish he was mine …. I’ve talked about this time and time with people still trying to argue with me like I’m wrong and their favorite line is “he also got hate for that too” …clearly not as much as the female idol did these people will go to the end of the world to make it seem like these female idols that do mature concepts and spice things up instead of being boring are sl!Ts cause if these female idols were to act cute at their grown age like yall have before yall would call them cringy good ex. Lisa whenever she acts cute she’s cringey whenever she acts her age or does mature concepts or mature and spicy things she’s a Sl!T like make up your minds these people don’t know how they want these girls to act and that’s exactly why you see more and more kpop idols don’t gaf about how you guys feel anymore and are doing them good ex. Jessi and hwasa and unfortunately saying her hyuna (her relationship is a different story) and the black pink girls but more so Lisa especially after crazy horse people were ready with the videos and the comments calling her everything and that didn’t faze her once she still posted her pictures and still had support and her haters were still watching her angry …like these female idols can’t get a break and I don’t see male idols getting as much hate as them period not saying they don’t but it don’t be as bad as the female idols I rarely see 🤢🤢🤢 under male idols instagrams but I bet you I can see that under a lot of female idols instagrams like these girls get hated on for anything and everything .

Back when I was a kid I used to think that Kpop world was like a fairytale place, now I woke up to the harsh reality realizing that it’s just one big sick industry.. I’ve stopped following so much of their content, now I only listen to music watch occasionally some variety shows of 1 or 2 of my favorite bands and move the f*ck on.. that sh*t wasn’t healthy in the first anyway, for my own wellbeing making this decision is a better alternative not to get too much into this Kpop world bcz it’s 90% fake.

Let me tell you something. Im waiting for the next big scandal to involve fans next time. I used to be in the fandom of a lesser known male idol and let me tell you, his friends kept reaching out to one of the fans who was a Muslim girl. It was really suspicious. They seem to be honing into the most vulnerable looking girls. I left that fansom, I don't wanna talk about it, but I think this topic is not going to go away. It's gonna get worse.

[@grec.]

I dont stan any GGs. But i follow a few BGs and I honestly don't like the nudity or when they act like magic Mike on stage or MVs. Being sensual and flirty is one thing, i just don't like the thirst traps. I feel bad for female idols becase not only they suffer the ab*se from companies and superiors, they also have to endure the cruelty of the fans and haters.

[@janeemflores]

This is diabolical and outrageous. I feel bad for women especially for the weight gain - remember when Jeongyeon started to gain weight? the backlash from that was crazy.

[@windowbreezes]

It's kinda crazy that the whole world of kpop fans feel like they can control a country's social problems. They would not have cared so much otherwise if it was not for KPOP.

[@noeleenseva1637]

These double-standards are so messed up and outrageous

[@gurbaninanda]

the issue here is that ggs have a male-dominated base that have unrealistic expectations especially in a country like korea where the beauty standards are harsh and female idols must fit them. Secondly lack of equal rights for women in korea affects this too cause they just expect women to be prim and proper 24/7.

Claiming male idols can do whatever they want is nonsense. I mean you yourself have made videos on some them getting backlash for things like getting married, having a girlfriend in the past etc.

[@it.comes.around]

they always get backlash for trying to be normal, because they break the illusion that many fans have about them being only for the fans. the industry needs to change with respects to dating too, make people fans of the artist and not the illusion of being the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend or pretty face.

[@ywsx6489]

Just because male idols don't say it, doesnt mean that they are not s3x**lly exploited by male execs.

Half korean here! All my life i fly through sk and my another country. My mom is friends with two 2nd gen idols,One guy one girl. The guy and girl are/were in the same company and apparently their company would hang a list of weight of female idols and trainees for everyone to see, but for male idols? None. They also give Younger female idols more revealing clothes to attract creeps. The female friend of my mom debuted at 14 so you can see how bad this is. I myself also have friends who are trainees at big companies, some had to quit tho to almost dying from the horrible diets.

i don’t think it’s really fair to act like male idols don’t get hate. i understand the video is about women idols, and yes there ARE times when there’s double standards but making it seem like male idols don’t get into trouble for smoking or anything like that is crazy. didn’t seunghan from riize basically get kicked out for it? and for having a gf predebut?? i feel like there’s a way to talk about the situation without making it seem like male idols don’t have any issues

The guy gave his business card of his bar to (at the time a minor) Hara and Yesung was trying to avoid it. Then when he left Yesung asked Hara to show him the business card and he tear it apart. Sometime later, I think that same year, the guy was found guilty for SA many minors. So, these guys do their nasty thing just even in there's cameras. They don't give a F.
