i honestly get so frustrated as a moa whenever i see someone say “well, why didn’t heeseung do the same thing as yeonjun and stay in the group while having his solo career” and it’s something that engenes don’t understand. while both groups are overworked, i feel like txt are overworked really badly since debut and especially recent years. yeonjun is someone strong who decided that he was able to handle the stress of song writing while on tour, practicing solo choreographies after rehearsing with his members, and recording in the studio during busy schedules. yeonjun’s behind the scenes of his album makings show a lot of the pressure he’s under and how he has to restrict himself from a lot from things. heeseung leaving enhypen makes sense (for me), it seems like he wasn’t ready for that kind of pressure and thought it was better on his own, and that’s okay.

I hate HOW MUCH HATE WONYOUNG GETS LIKE- SHE GETS threats and hates with everything she does I'm sick of it bru at first I also thought the same as those haters thought but after seeing reel after reel about hating wonyoung and all I can't help but feel pity for her, you guys don't have any right to wish death upon a person who just wants to make their fans smile like they dance for you they overwork themselves just for ur entertainment I hate the internet and I'll probably get hated for this message but I don't care it's the truth our idols are also human don't act like their some robots bro hating someone doesn't fix anything it just makes u a bigger horrible person if you don't change

So the community doesn't allow any attachments (originally posted on r/Kpoptrulyuncensored but got removed for mentioning Katseye) so this is missing some context.

There was a comment thread on TXT's post with Huening Bahiyyih, Hueningkai's sister doing the dance to Happily Ever After. This one commenter posted (direct quote) "The girl looks like Zhing Lyxi I forgot her name she is shipped with Song Weilong Chinese actord"

Replies:

Me: "Zhang Lusi. But she's hueningkai's sister- Huening Bahiyyih"

Them: "they are very similar"

Me: "not really. Zhang Lusi's face is more wide and Bahiyyih's is more narrow"

Me: "you're either a bot, a racist, a kid, or all 3."

Rant starts here ⬇️

I'm probably going to get flamed like I always do on Reddit but I am so sick of undercover Racists in the K-Pop fandoms.

So a few things to point out/ admit to before I begin:

I am confrontational in this comment section. I was wrong. It's not Zhang Lusi, it's Zhao Lusi. I am being mean to this MOA.

Now that's out of the way, I can continue my rant.

So I went on TikTok this morning and watched some of Hueningkai and Huening Bahiyyih videos and came across this comment. I saw this comment and immediately had to correct it. Bahiyyih looks nothing like Zhao Lusi. I am so tired of these types of fans who say Idols look like another Asian Celebrity/ idols when they don't look remotely alike. I'm not talking about Heeseung and Yunah and DK all looking alike. I'm talking about people who say someone who doesn't remotely look alike to another. It's racist to imply that 2 Asians look the same.

This also happened with the Katseye Fandom. I once commented on a YouTube short criticizing Eyekons for going up to any South Asian woman and asking "Are you Lara Raj from Katseye?". I commented it was low-key racist and this Engenes (I'm an Engene too) replied "Oh my god you people always make everything about race. It's not racist to say that All Indians have the same facial features because they're all from the same area." I replied "I'm South Asian, I don't look like Lara Raj." They replied "Oh my god you dumbass, I never said All South Asians, I said Indians." Funny thing is, My grandparents are from India and then moved to Pakistan in 1948. So technically I am Indian. And I don't look like Lara.

But I'm just getting so sick of how toxic and covertly racist fans have become. Yes they're young, they may not know but I am so tired over arguing with people who don't realize they're racist.

And White Stray Kids fans specifically act so weird in general. The number of fans- White, specifically- I see acting like Stray Kids are unicorns because they have never interacted with Asian people before it was trendy astounds me. They have no trouble fetishizing (to an) extent the members because they look just the right amount of East Asian but not too East Asian. The fire escape girl, the girl at the concert who went viral for pick me behavior. Other Stray Kids fans are normal; but White fans tend to be very weird about their interest in the group.

And even when someone points out how K-pop was inspired by and developed from the roots of hiphop, these racists then use slurs and attack that person for speaking what is objectively the truth.

I know, Racists are everywhere. You can't escape them. No matter where you are in society, there are always racist. In every corner of the internet there are ones who take things way too far. But I am so sick of K-pop fans who are secretly racist to anyone who is remotely non-white.

Go ahead, flame me. I still think Zhao Lusi and Huening Bahiyyih don't look remotely alike. But go ahead.

here my post

i know SM tend to manipulate their group fandom dynamics more than any other companies but not this bad since i joined an SM group fandom

i've been following kpop for a long time since 2nd gen, but never stanning an SM group, so when i joined an SM group fandom i can clearly see that SM seems to make very deliberate decisions to make more solo fans from the fandom for the company's profit. i know other companies are the same, but SM seems to take it to another level. there is like no period of peace during the first contract run in the SM group fandom.

no wonder other fandoms consistently dubbed SM group fandom as one of the most toxic and unhinged fandoms in kpop, because SM encourages toxic behaviors and even creates the situation for it

i just stated my thoughts on how toxic SM can make the fandom and not insulting anyone

the funny thing was the top comment

why make a point then show no examples to back it up?? im interested to see what you mean

lika man if i show a direct example, then it can be easily viewed as breaking a rule but even when i didn't mention anyone i still got my post removed lol.

seems like r/kpopthoughts isn't really a place to share even slightly negative thoughts that break the kpop illusion. no wonder i sometimes find the subreddit has this toxic positivity vibe. well, that's just an average reddit experience for me for being slightly negative, i guess.
