What do y’all think of all of these young stans piling on BoA right now all over social media? I personally think this GOT the beat group has brought out so much negativity from all of these fandoms.

Is it that hard to appreciate the talents of all of these women without making it such a competition? Gosh, the constant competing between fandoms in the K-Pop stan culture is so annoying and exhausting. I’m someone who has been casually following K-Pop since 2nd Gen but just recently fully dived into many groups and soloists and started interacting in K-Pop spaces, and damn do so many just love taking the fun out of the music.

Can’t y’all just enjoy the music? For me, K-Pop has been such a fun musical journey to delve into, so much talent and great music. I love just immersing myself in different genres I’m not super familiar with. And I can say K-Pop stan culture is the worst out of all the ones I’m familiar with.

The way BoA has been used as a scapegoat during this Stamp On It era has seriously gotten on my nerves. It’s THE BoA y’all. The legend who made SM Entertainment as we know it, who saved it from bankruptcy and helped bring K-Pop to another level. And now these 15-year olds are trying to come for her because of one dance break? K-Pop stans fake their outrage when a minor debuts but then go ahead and hate on any idol above 25 and call them a hag despertar to be relevant. Because at the end of the day, all they want is to be part of the next bandwagon, whether it’s discourse over minors in the industry, or nepotism, or cultural appropriation, as long as there’s an excuse to bring someone down it’s all good.
