Western celebrities (men and women) wear makeup, but the guys don't actually openly display it like K-pop stars do. Here are some sickening, atrocious examples of how men have been wired to wear makeup and expose their "cute, feminine' side in such a homogenous, yet homophobic society like South Korea.
Girls, do you honestly want to wake up with this being the first thing you see? I would be freaked out!! Just no! Actually looked like a nice young man before he changed into Snow White. I would date him in the first pic. Why he gotta do that to himself? He just needed some work on that hair, but that's it! He didn't need to go that far! He was a cute kid, but now he's just ugh...
And some girls actually like these boys! Wow! It's not a glo-up (puberty.) It's called makeup, aka Justin Bieber's younger Asian sister. If the one in the second pic walked up to me, I would think that it's a girl right away! And they're from BTS, GOT7, and EXO. I know it's Korea but ugly is ugly anywhere. If girls like these boys, why do those same fangirls hate Justin Bieber? They're his sisters, for God's sake! And I don't like any of them. Can I at least, just for once, see their goddamn eyebrows! Why cover them up with long bangs! Be yourself, don't need makeup to look handsome!
Although there are more masculine stars, most fangirls are swayed towards the cutesy boys like these.
How do you feel about guys with makeup/plastic surgery?
This is fucking bullshit right here. First of all, it is puberty, those picture of them that you posted was when they were 15,16,17, you get the point. Right now they're like in their twenties and if you saw them them without makeup now, they look like angels and they're so beautiful. Do some research first, please. For gods sake you got a picture of a bot thats 6 in one but like 21 in the other, like seriously? Whats so wrong with men wearing makeup anyways? It's their face, they do whatever they want to it. So you're saying it's okay when female stars wear makeup? Why don't you tell them to be theirselves too? huh? It's not like they're inscure anyways. I know my boys. They love the way they look with out without makeup. Even if they didn't wear makeup i bet yah most of us would still stay with them.

Contrary to what you might think, I actually LOVE their music. I love BTS, EXO, and other Korean boy groups. And even the sad romantic ballads. It's just that I've noticed how they all look so similar to each other. If you examine their eyebrows, per se, you'll notice that they're the same. In Western society, there are celebrities with different skin tones, eyebrow types, lip types, and etc. I appreciate variety and diversity more than uniformity. That's my point.
You know, I would love it if while they were walking down the streets, they would just flip their fringes up. I believe some of them were good-looking beforehand; it's just I get mad when I see them with freakishly long hair, covering all of their features (eyes, eyebrows, forehead) up. Since some of them were good-looking pre-debut, why did they have to change their eyebrows and all that? Just to fit in with society's perception of beauty?
Basically, Western celebrities (men and women) present themselves as very natural. These stars, sadly, are under slave contracts and expected to act, dress, and even sing certain ways. BTS is one of those few groups that isn't forced to do those kinds of things since their company is quite small. Most fans just see them as Ken dolls, nit-picking which hair color is better, and going from one bias to another. They don't subconsciously regard them as human beings. Sometimes, they want to cuddle someone. Sometimes, they crave sex (they're adults, for God's sake.) Sometimes, they want to go to a local store at 11 P. M. and snack on some chips. That's normal. But the fans want to revere their every move, yet aren't hesitant to pick and choose between them and criticize them if they date someone. Most Western stars don't have to worry about that. I feel sad for K-pop stars sometimes. Guys and girls.
Have you seen v? He always wears headbands and stuff like that. Plus they're not trying to hide anything. If they were you would never see them wearing head bands and stuff like that. They didn't really change i mean most of it, maybe even all of it was the companies that they are making them wear makeup. Oh and trust me real bts fans know that. We know that they are humans too. Maybe if you were really in the fandom you would understand. We love bts very much and we really care for them. But eventually they're gonna grow up and have a family and have a normal life. But we DON'T treat them like ken dolls. I mean can't a person have a favorite hair color? Oh and about him saying that we only see them on stage is not true. They have opened up to us though music, v lives, and bangtan bombs. We know a lot about them. I know that they are a bunch of goofy seven idiots that ruined my life and i will never have peace until i find out that they are doing good. So no we don't see them like that
Yes, I love BTS' music as well. Some of my favorite songs from them are "Baepsae," "Second Grade," and "I need U." And I was talking about K-pop as a WHOLE. BTS undoubtedly has made ripples (good ones) throughout the K-pop industry, and their impact is only growing more and more internationally as they continue producing more hit singles. It's just that I can't help but hate ARMYs who wants to nitpick BTS. For example, I saw an Instagram post that praised Big Hit for not whitewashing Suga in the "Spring Day" MV. I concur with that. But then another post (on the same page) extol how pale Suga's skin is. What? And it was an account run by one freaking person. I hate those kinds of ARMYs. :/
i CAN'T believe that homophobic people like you still exist. it's 2018, get over yourself dude. they're not harming you or anyone so just let them do what they want. it is sad if they got plastic surgery, but that's their choice! who the hell are you to say what these grown men can & cannot do.
if you're honestly so bothered by it, then why did you make a whole post dedicated to them lmfao. like you even said, western celebrities do it too, but you're not making posts about them. they're fine as hell & i don't even listen to kpop. grow up :)
Those guys are famous Korean pop stars? Why hate on em? Yes they are attractive humans maybe they had surgery I don't know, but I think u should just stop comparing them to western artists, cause Korean music translated to English always sing out being friends with one another and getting along or talking about serious issues like bullying. justing beiber and artists like him in western society sing about sex, love and heartbreak. I think Korea has gotten their music right. So how about u just shut up sweetheart ❤️👍

Perhaps you should watch this video. It might give more insight as to the grim reality of K-pop that I was talking about. When I was obsessed with K-pop, I tried dismissing this video when it came up in my recommendations. Like a lot of K-pop fans, I didn't want my vision of K-pop and its perfection to be polluted by this "brutal honesty." After watching it, I still enjoyed K-pop, just not obsessed with it anymore.
The makeup is ridiculous, men shouldn't wear makeup. The plastic surgery depends.

Yuck! These bastards are disgusting! Sure, I can understand if you're a teen and all. But can you imagine what these sickos would look like in their 30s? Surely, they can't walk around with pink lip gloss, long rainbow colored bangs, and blue eyecontacts!
Okay, so I don't believe any MALE or FEMALE should be FORCED to change their appearances for anyone or anything, but if girls can willingly wear makeup and have plastic surgeries, then I believe guys should be able to as well without being put down for it

But sometimes, the company FORCES them to get plastic surgery or put on makeup. It's the industry's goal to display these guys with "the friendly, cutesy boy next door" image. That's the main reason why I loathe K-pop so much.
And that's where K-pop sucks. Most fangirls are just oh so infatuated with this innocent aura that these boys exude. They fail to notice the grim reality of the industry since it's glitter, glamor, and rainbows 24/7 to them.
I'm curious, why do you keep making topics/questions in the same vein?

they can do whatever they want it's their public image.. and the company's image... in Korea it's literally all the hype... there's that kpop girls band who spent 80k and had a before and after surgery music video and they debuted... just weird

unfortunately that's the concept they've been stuck with for ages... everyone's just out to get money including those companies... sign them at young age then develop as they grow..
Girl I could send millions of armys after you, but cause I'm feeling relatively nice today, imma let this one slide

Look, I love and appreciate BTS' music like hell. They have truly changed the K-pop industry in terms of how much control artists have over their own music, and they're very in touch with their fans. However, I still hate how in selfies, they open their eyes like crazy and of course, STILL wear excessive makeup like all the other K-pop stars! It sucks! Just be yourself, goddamnit!
But that's just the culture and social norm in Korea! Those selfies- YOU might think they're ugly all over the world but trust me, the majority of regular Koreans think they're normal and actually TAKE selfies like that themselves. And also, just like how actors have to wear a lot of makeup to accentuate their features on stage, so do idols. The thing is idols are a completely different concept to western singers. They give an actual PERFORMANCE- their singing, rapping, dancing, visuals and the whole overall impact is what counts. THAT'S the whole idea behind kpop. And yeah, you might argue that then kpop is fundamentally flawed, but what are those individuals and those companies gonna do? Lose all their popularity and profits and die out? Whether you like it or not, makeup 99% of the time makes an individual look better and gives more impact. Just cause you're wearing makeup doesn't mean you're not being yourself! Like I just genuinely don't get your point like wtaf 😂😂
However, sometimes they are forced into getting plastic surgery (nose job, jaw reshape) by their management agencies to look more appealing or display more of an "innocent, friendly boy next door" image. This is why they all start resembling each other. They each are assigned a specific "role" in their group (maknae, quiet one, or weird one) and have to abide by what is expected of their character. I would love to see Taehyung drop the dorky 4D role that he has been assigned since day one. And I know that Jungkook knows about sex and all that "mature" stuff.
I prefer Western artists who can go on stage, just wearing a random white t-shirt and shorts, and reflect their emotions through every word they sing. It's like they're just doing it for the music, not so people can say, "oh my god, he's so cute!" They don't care about that "oh, I'm going to dye my hair this color or act cute from now on to please my fans" crap.
Most K-pop fans nit-pick between these boy groups and subconsciously view them as barbie dolls, not actual human beings whose jobs are to make music. One minute, they might think that their oppa looks handsome with pale skin and extremely red lips. The next minute, they praise their oppa for showing his natural tan skin. What? Plus, most of these stars were randomly chosen as young kids and have undergone this life-long reification process. They don't have much input into their dating life, the music they produce, or their public image. It's all manufactured and controlled, whether they like it or not. Underneath the glitter, glamor, and glory that K-pop is embellished with, there lies the grim reality of depravity, greed, and false promises. But people look right through it due to their own willful ignorance.
Yeah, true, quite often the companies make them. But every trainee goes into the company knowing this is expected of them (ie it's their choice!). And plus, if it's the management you have a problem with, then why are you calling the idols the 'sickos', huh?
V acts the way he wants to act. And of course jungkook knows about sex, he makes jokes about it! He's 19 for gods sake. Just cause he doesn't advertise it like western people do doesn't mean he's hiding or pretending anything
I have one question for you: are you actually Korean? Cause if you're not, wth is your problem? If you don't like it, just IGNORE it, and don't go around calling them atrocious and sickening! Simples! This isn't even a bloody question, it's a stupid af, feeble, good for nothing attack on Korean culture and these individuals.
Pfft what? So if a girl looks amazing wearing makeup, does she not get to be told she looks amazing without? What?
You seem to think you're the only person who knows about how hard being an idol is. Trust me, you're not. Everyone knows. It's hard NOT to know. You'd be STUPID if you didn't know. But they do it by choice. So what if they sacrifice their ability to date to get further in their careers? They chose it! They signed the contract! They can always quit!
And just to clarify, who are you trying to shame? The idols or the company? Cause rn you're switching between the idols being too feminine, wearing makeup and being frighteningly disgusting (which is just complete bullshit) to blaming the companies forcing them to do these things.
And just to end: those photos aren't representative of them 24/7. On stage and in their daily schedules, they don't dress like that. The only reason they do that once in a while is cause it's normal to do it once in a while (again, Korean culture). If you know anything about suga, you know he's far from that. Watch Agust D. THAT'S normal Suga for you.
Oh, and listen to the Wings album (to the ACTUAL lyrics in the solo pieces) then try and tell me they don't put emotions into every word they sing. Cause then I'll really know if you're genuinely whack or just a tad deluded
I'm Southeast Asian and have visited South Korea several times. The cuisine is delicious while the people are well-mannered, albeit a little reserved. It's one of the richest countries in East Asia for God's sake! I love it! I was actually shocked to discover the cultural impact that its entertainment has in other parts of Asia, like in the Southeast. Most of my relatives who are from that region are obsessed with these boys and even plan on getting plastic surgery to attain that "flawless pale skin" and etc. You see, most people in Southeast Asia have brown skin (since it's closer to the equator) and I feel as if K-pop make them look down on their own people. They're ashamed of their skin tone and want to have pale skin like all the idols they look up to. It's honestly sad and pathetic. :(
'Look, I love and appreciate BTS' music like hell'
Western singers 'reflect their emotions through every word they sing. It's like they're just doing it for the music, not so people can say, 'on my god, he's so cute!'
Plus, South Korea remains an extremely conservative and even homophobic society. They claim that homosexuals or other non-straights don't exist in their country even though they clearly do. All the make-up and the feminine behavior make me wonder as to why their society is just so open when it comes to flower boys, yet still view homosexuals (some of whom do act very feminine) as something covert and hush-hush.
I've listened to all of BTS' albums before and would have a difficult time at choosing my favorites. Some of them are "BS&T," "Dope," or "Baepsae." I indulge in their artistry in my free time (by watching lyric videos) but still find "connecting with them" as individuals to be a formidable task. However, I will admit that BTS is one of those few by groups who are more in touch and genuine with their fans, especially since their international fanbase dominate the Korean one.
Yeah, true, South Korea has a lot more homophobia than western countries. But how does this even relate to your own views? Cause in your so called 'question', you're clearly criticising these boys for wearing makeup and looking frightening wearing makeup, having long fringes (I'm not even gonna try and understand the logic behind that one), being bieber's sisters (aka you're calling them girls, saying they're gay, etc), and to someone who said these guys made him feel gay you replied, and I quote: 'Yuck! These bastards are disgusting!'. If anything, you're in no position to be criticising SK's homophobia cause first you gotta sort out your own mentality. Like this whole situation doesn't link up or make any sense. It's like hypocritical on a whole new level!
Ultimately, my point is that there's almost no diversity with K-pop and that everything is manufactured from the ground up. Oh, and you didn't address my first paragraph about how it makes other Asians feel bad about themselves. You see Western stars with different skin tones, nose types, eyebrow types, and lip types. And if you just examine these boys for a little longer, you'll notice how they all have the same goddamn eyebrows! No diversity! That's why they have to wear these lavish costumes, bold eye contacts and have flashy hair colors to look faintly different from each other.
There is a slight discrepancy between my sentiment for the K-pop industry as a whole and the stars who are a part of it. Most of these idols, in my opinion, are seething with annoyance inside due to how they're forced to behave, but once again, they're forced to conceal their lack of independence since it's money, money, money.
Some of them, who have quit their groups, went on to talk about how they were under the notorious "slave contracts," which they signed as young trainees, not knowing any better and unable to comprehend the immense physical and mental hardships pre-debut and post-debut. I also think that the South Korean music industry prefer quantity over quality and substance (looks) over style (content.) I love how in the U. S., it's hard, yet enjoyable to dig up music from all genres until you find that hidden gem. With K-pop, new groups debut every month literally.
They all go through the same cycle eventually: release a new song/album, update their fans about it, either through the company or by frequent appearances on reality shows, then perform it on stage while imploring fans to vote for them, win some trophies, thank their fans, and slowly, yet surely fade away into obscurity before doing the same thing again. It's a cycle that has been met with success for years. I don't see it changing. :(
My bad, about your first paragraph: You said they make other Asians feel bad cause of their skin colour. Lmao let us just reverse to what you said a while back: 'One minute, they might think that their oppa looks handsome with pale skin and extremely red lips. The next minute, they praise their oppa for showing his natural tan skin. What?' You're the one who said that it's weird that the fans love the idols with make up and love them equally without. Now you're saying the idols make you feel bad about skin colour. What? Like the fans were loving the idols for whatever skin colour they have and now you're saying they don't?
No diversity? You sure bout that? Don't even tell me suga looks anything like rap monster or peniel like for gods sake, Peniel's BALD and he's still a loved idol.
Also, just a little side note, but I mentioned the long fringes to show how they can't act "natural" even on stage. For example, just imagine how cool it would be if while they're bouncing up and down on stage, their foreheads are sweaty and their hair drips with water. Just envision them flipping their hair up and exposing their foreheads and eyebrows! What's the point of being so meticulous with their eyebrows if they don't let people see them!
Dang, most people love how soft and fluffy East Asian hair is and think it's coveted. While they're on stage, they can just mess their hair up and sing! Enjoy the gooddamn performance! It's better than covering their eyes with long fringes. Can't see their features at all! And some of them do it but not enough. Free the forehead!
Lmao have you heard eunkwang sing? Have you seen jimin and jhope dance? Have you heard zico rap? Tell me they don't beat those western singers who got in just through the disney channel or for their sluttiness.
Of course it's hard, but they chose it! Life IS hard! And yeah, new groups debut a lot, but only a few actually make it in the end. It's like how a lot of people release albums in the us and most people only know the most famous chart-toppers.
'imploring fans to vote for them, win some trophies, thank their fans, and slowly, yet surely fade away' lmao girl bts is up for the billboard music awards, they've set YouTube records then continued to break their OWN records with the next song, topped the charts globally, sold record breaking album numbers, held concerts globally where tickets sell out in a flash and fans cry when they see them, with non English speakers learning all the Korean words just to sing along
Start it at 1:10. I don't know what you've been watching, but if that's not sweat I don't know what is. And also, if they cut their fringes to show any more of their foreheads, they're not gonna have any hair left 😂 it's not that they're being unnatural, it's called style!
Holy crap! Never once did I doubt ANY of their talents. In my very first paragraph, I blatantly stated, "They[BTS] truly changed the K-pop industry in terms of how much control artists have over their own music, and they're very in touch with their fans." I love their music and am willing to prove that they have talent if anyone were foolish enough to doubt it! I just criticized the industry and how they (K-pop stars) have not truly broken free of the compacted box they were presented and eventually locked within. Yes, I know that BTS are nominated for the Top Social Artist award on the Billboards. I'm proud of them. The cycle I mentioned is the fundamental basis and top money maker for K-pop as a whole. I DID NOT talk about BTS, specifically.
Then why tf is BTS on that list? I don't get it! What was the point of this 'question'? Like you still haven't answered this: 'Yeah, true, South Korea has a lot more homophobia than western countries. But how does this even relate to your own views? Cause in your so called 'question', you're clearly criticising these boys for wearing makeup and looking frightening wearing makeup, having long fringes (I'm not even gonna try and understand the logic behind that one), being bieber's sisters (aka you're calling them girls, saying they're gay, etc), and to someone who said these guys made him feel gay you replied, and I quote: 'Yuck! These bastards are disgusting!'. If anything, you're in no position to be criticising SK's homophobia cause first you gotta sort out your own mentality. Like this whole situation doesn't link up or make any sense. It's like hypocritical on a whole new level!'
I LOVE K-pop MUSIC (key word) but not the industry's fundamentals. That's the main message I was conveying, although I do admit, it became a little distorted. I feel sympathetic when I see pictures of these boy group members on the streets, just going to a casual restaurant or grocery store, with these fangirls rampaging through the cities, trying to catch a quick glimpse of their oppas. They critique almost everything they do and say. "Oh, I like him better with blonde hair," or "he looks so good with black hair (even though that his natural hair color, but they seem to forget that" or "can we admit these two would make a cute couple?" Seriously? It's just ken dolls to them.
What I mean is that these boy groups are very affectionate towards each other. They hug each other and pretend to kiss for the fangirls who go wild about that kind of touch-feeling stuff. Yet when actual gay people are kissing, South Korea will hastily cover it up.
I never said "gay, scary bastards" word for word. Most of the girls who love these boys are the same ones who hate on One Direction or Justin Bieber for being "fake." Smh. :/ I despise them so much. I will continue to enjoy BTS' and other K-pop groups'(GOT7 and EXO) music from now on. But it's unlikely that I will ever refer to myself as their stan (stalker/fan.)
Also, in my question, I posted some photos of BTS and some of EXO and GOT7. This wasn't directly targeted at the ARMY'S.
Yes, but when homosexuals do almost the exact same thing, South Koreans marginalize them. I hate it. Not to mention how the boys can easily hug each other from behind, like the vid you show, but girls aren't allowed to show their bodies. Oh, the sexism and hypocrisy! South Korea is amazing in terms of infrastructure and especially their school system, but with pop culture, they still have a long way to go. And I shall digress. Can't believe I engaged in an almost 2-hour long convo over this. But that just shows my passion about this subject, I suppose.
Quote me about what? No, most people don't hate ARMYS, specifically. They hate K-pop fanatics overall since they're just so defensive about the fanbase and too blind to concur with any differing opinions. It's the same with any goddamn fandom on this goddamn planet (Harry Potter, 1D, JB, EXO, everything.) Like I stated, the point I was trying to express is that I enjoy Korean music (pop or ballad) but don't like the individuals who are a part of the popular, teenage music genre. By the way, you should check out "From the Beginning Until Now" or "Every Moment of You." I don't think most K-pop fans delve deep into the sad romantic ballads and what-not. All they really care about is their cute boys, but the ballads are the heart of the Korean music, in my honest opinion. Anyone can enjoy them.
Lmao you clearly don't know much about kpop, or BTS at least. Armys are famous for having a bad rep. (and by the way that was a JOKE for heaven’s sake). And that last point's just so not true. When I said BTS has songs with meaning, you replied:
"I've listened to all of BTS' albums before and would have a difficult time at choosing my favorites. Some of them are "BS&T," "Dope," or "Baepsae."
Sure, these are their most famous songs and yeah they're catchy af. I love them too. But again, you're being a hypocrite. You're criticising kpop for being too superficial yet your favourite songs are the most mainstream, meaningless ones. Like, what?
So girl, until you do your research, don’t go around calling other groups and cultures ‘sickos’ and ‘bastards’, and at the very least, don’t go contradicting your own arguments.
Oh my god, I said I have many favorite BTS songs. It's extremely difficult to pick my favorites. I also like "Save me, " "Butterfly," and "I Need U." I was thinking clearly when I wrote that but did have some qualms of you doubting my love for BTS' music (key word). My number one would be "Second Grade." I love Suga's rap in it. It's brilliant.
And I also like "Do You," by Rap Monster. But perhaps you should watch this video. It should give more insight into the dark reality of the K-Pop industry that I was referring to. Trust me, when I was 12 or 13(just two years ago), I was obsessed with SNSD and 2PM. This was before I heard of BTS. This video kind of shattered this perfect vision of K-pop and my favorite idols. But it certainly brought some light onto the depravity and insincerity that K-pop is filled with. I now still enjoy those K-pop groups but on a much milder level.
And Baepsae isn't a meaningless song. If you examine the lyrics thoroughly, the song criticizes South Korean society and how it puts the baby boomers (seniors) on a pedestal, while also forcing the Youth to excel beyond them at the same time. They are using a metaphor with the crow-tit (younger generation) attempting to "mimic" the stork (older generation) and epically failing due to its short legs, unlike a stork's.
Fml you're just too thick and hypocritical there's no point even trying to reason with you
Bottom line is: You don't call someone a 'sicko', 'bastard', say you're 'freaked out' by them and say they're 'disgusting' cause they wear makeup and their culture's different to yours. If you don't like it, keep your blabber mouth shut and keep your thoughts to yourself. If kpop's really that bad for you, you don't even have to go near it. Use your common sense and stay away from things you don't like, and stop finding comfort in dragging other people down. You can't even criticise SK for being homophobic when you're calling idols (who are people, like actual physical people with emotions and all, believe it or not) derogatory, vile things. Just admit it and move on- you've done wrong and both of us know it. I'm not gonna say anything else cause trying to reason with you is like trying to reason with someone who has zilch common sense. Grow up.
Yes, I agree with your point. I try not to get involved with the fandom, per se, but certainly, I seek enjoyment in their music. And by their, I mean K-pop as a whole. Not just BTS' of course. Also, may I ask what was your opinion on the video that I offered? Although the guy in it isn't a K-pop fanatic or anything, he has lived in South Korea for a long time, and it was a foreigner's perspective on the Korean music industry as a whole. When I stated those derogatory terms, I was referring to how horrifying similar they all looked. But may I also inquire your age? I'm only 14. :/
wait what does Justin Bieber have to do with this😑😐

Most of the fangirls who are obsessed with Korean boy groups are the same ones who diss Justin Bieber for being gay and looking girly. So hypocritical.
Justin Bieber is not gay or does he look girly also I agree with you it is hypocritical because this Kpop people be looking like I don't know girly and wearing makeup like no guys supposed to wear makeup also are they really being forced to do all this.
Gaayyyy, but really, how self-centered do you have to be to fall that low?

How am I self-centered? I'm just explaining that these little kids and even the fangirls have undergone a lengthy reification process, thanks to the glitter, glamour, and rainbows that most K-pop idols' lives seem to be filled with. They can no longer tell that these companies ONLY want money. No matter the family bond between these people, money is the top priority, not true music and talent.
At least, in the U. S., artists have more opinion in the music that they produce and can be more adamant about what to wear, their public image, and who they want to date. If any of these boys were to date anyone, fans would go berzerk and the company may fire them. I feel so pitiful for them. :( But they don't even know it themselves.
I wasn't talking about you. I was saying that the guys who do plastic surgery / makeup are self-centered as fuck. How much do you have to care about yourself instead of others to fall so low?
Some of them are forced to wear excessive makeup or get plastic surgery (nose job, jaw reshape) by their management agencies. That's why if they all concealed their eyes, there is pretty no way to distinguish these darn fools! I don't know why girls compare who is cuter. Ugh, hello! They're all the same!
And some of them voluntarily do it because the media pushes them to do it. They like having soft features over them and prefer cute, girly boys (with long hair and lip gloss) over more "manly" guys. I don't want a bodybuilder! I just want a boy who looks natural (in a plain white tee with his hair not fully combed and a big ole' smile), for God's sake! Is that too much to ask?
My opinion is that you should make and follow your own way, no matter what. If someone tells me to change myself I'll tell them to drop dead. I'll get another job at some point. Just don't throw away your honour that easily.
Sadly, these fools DO throw away their honor that hastily. It's mostly because they have been brain-washed as little kids (10 or 12.) Seriously, some old men found them on the streets and told them to audition and become a pop star. They don't look at vocals, dance skills, or anything. Just looks. Everything else, they train over time. :/
They ARE just decor for the crazy fangirls. New boy groups debut every single month literally. It's like a game to see who can be more popular. When a new song is released, they go onstage and tell fans to vote. Whoever has the most votes, wins a trophy. That's it. The quality of their music doesn't count. Only quantity does.
Yep! Can you imagine what these sickos would look like in their 30s? Surely, they can't walk around with pink lip gloss, long rainbow colored bangs, and blue eye contacts!
Have you seen bigbang? They're almost 30 and they still rock on stage and do a bunch of that stuff. So yes they can do that when they're like 30 or something. I mean one of my favorite kpop stars is like 36.
@nobodycaresaboutme Yes, I've heard of Big Bang. I listen to K-pop quite a lot, especially when I was like 12 or 13. Now, I'm 15 and no longer are obsessed with them like I used to be. But ever since debut, Big Bang has had this "bad boy" image going on. I'm referring to groups, like Seventeen, which is composed of most flower boys, you know, the more feminine groups. And I love Big Bang.
BTS? Feminine? I mean yeah, but i always thought they had like a badass feel to them. I mean like the fire, danger, boy in luv, no more dream ( you get the point ) Were more of their style and still is. But I mean all kpop stars are like that even bigbang, they are so cute!!! But i get where you, re going i mean it is kinda their culture and if they wanna wear makeup. Let them wear makeup. Girls do it. Why don't people tell them to be their selves?
@nobodycaresaboutme No, no. I never stated BTS was feminine. I clearly stated Seventeen was feminine, not BTS. They have a hip-hop vibe to them. There's nothing wrong with anyone (men or women) wearing makeup. Everyone have insecurities; that's just a part of being human. But I dislike how they ALL have the exact same eyebrow types and such. But perhaps you should watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx8u2-jH5rY
I prefer diversity over uniformity. That's my point. Everyone in K-pop is expected to conform to the social norms and present this innocent, yet casual public image. Things don't work that way. You can't act casual and candid while trying to act like how people want you to. I hope the video helps.
