Why is kpop so bad

It cannot be denied that K-pop may help understand South Korean culture; still it is affecting teenagers in a negative way which results in different troubles for them in the long run. Though music helps us to relax, K-pop contributes to several health problems. Those who spend too much time for watching music videos and searching information about K-pop usually suffer from asthenia as a result of sleeplessness and skipping meals.

Some k-pop fans remain glued to the computer or TV screen which can cause eye disease or memory loss. Besides, it can be harsh to ears too, if you listen to loud sound without any break. It also has been associated with depression, delinquency and smoking. Apart from these, it can cause a greater tendency to engage in reckless behavior than their peers who are not fan of K-pop.

Some of the fans of K-pop, for instance, behave in an awkward way all the time and they keep blabbering about their idols instead of communicating with real people properly or sharing their own opinion. Heavy K-pop addiction not only damages the mental and physical health, but badly influences their academic performance as well.

K-pop addicts cannot concentrate on their studies, rather their mind always gets diverted to K-pop stuffs. You write well. Now, use your pen and your influence to stand in the gap between life and death. Reported for racist slur. Do these idiots even play instruments? Beatlemania was shown to be only fainting, crazed girls who were fans, not because of the music, but because they thought the singers were attractive — sound familiar?

Not because of your underlying racism. Nor your hatred for anything that threatens your western artists. There is much more context needed to talk about the subject than people are generally willing to look into. That seems like a wave to me. You seem really bothered by it all. Let people like things.

The fact that he wrote about Kpop is a contradiction to his assessment. Do you know why us girl scream when they come cause the cute handsome and hot. They most like likely look better than you. They got talent most boy band here are boring what did you expect.

So i think u should back up before i get some more Kpop fans over here. We a army we will attack if we have too. I agreeee. Problem is that you have only used the billboards as your only evidence. The fact is also that many people in the music industry are not willing to change with the trend therefore they prefer western pop more. These songs are jumping from 1 to 40 in a day. Now, go ahead and hate on me.

Call me a bitch, come to my house and rob it or something. I know that BTS and other k-pop bands are not as popular as American artists, and this article tells the truth. K-pop artists are just as talented as American artists. Everyone has their own fricking taste in music so stop being total idiots. Well people who dislike K-pop also are people and get opinions too.

Anyways I got stuff to do. Have a nice day man. You are overreacting. You just can not face the truth. Every one has their own taste in music. Is it possible for you guys to listen to music without dissing other people for no reason? If you dont like it move on. Or do Americans need all the spotlight?? Asians need some credit too. Who cares if K-pop is popular or not. They have dreams and they have been trained to give people happiness. Let people live, let people love. Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber — they all have toxic fans.

This is the world. Stop being dramatic and respect other countries. Kpop idols are also hard work humans, they have dreams. They love singing, dancing, rapping, composing, writing, producing songs. They received happiness from their fans and gave it back. I wish you open your heart and respect it too.

Excuse me, I would just like to say, shut up. K-pop is popular. People do. And even if the billboard was considered, it is obvious that they show favoritism towards english artists. Since K-pop was unknown by international people, it being on the billboard is pretty impressive. The hot is songs from gazillion songs so even if it drops 75, it is still impressive. I feel like he chose the title of this article so that he could shit stir people and get more views.

If you have hate keep it to yourself! I mean why do you even have to show hate? Imagine if it was you we were talking about and throwing hate on? They are also human beings with feelings!!!! They work very hard for years to get to where they are and in just 10 minutes you trash them?! Well I am glad thee are less people like you in the world and more lovers. The people who cheer , not just Korean idols, but all Idols , I hope you live a wonderful life.

Get yourself a LIFE! Unfortunately kpop will never be a genre that is accepted by everyone, and largely that is to do with the language barrier. People make the point that music or art transcends language, however, the human race is fickle.

PSY managed to stay on the Hot for 7 weeks at No 2, the fact he never got to number one despite the massive views and radio time he got that year says a lot about why kpop will never be mainstream for the long term. Kpop is like a meteor, it comes suddenly for a short period for time, people pay attention then it disappears just as quickly.

However, I am pleased with what BTS has achieved. I completely agree with you. K-pop obviously is not as popular as American pop in America, but what do you expect? This is America not Korea. BTS does not have that. Army bug stations to play them. Shawn does concerts in many cities of the U. Kpop is not at a popular level to appeal to the diversity of masses. They are gaining fans every time they perform in the U. Actually getting nominated for a Real award based on music would be the biggest push for them.

People would check them out simply from curiosity. Fans nor Artist in the U. They need to top the charts and stay like other artists. When they beat Post that was his 4th week of sells and they barely topped him. I also know for a fact that some Army bought multiple copies to try to help them on charts. BTS needs to know what kind of hurdles they still have to overcome so they can stay determined to meet their goals. Despacito has more english than any of their songs. Did you really just say this?

Have you ever listened to Despacito by Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee or did you listen to the one featured with Justin Bieber. So no. Please get your facts straight. Also I love and adore BTS but what the article said even if the writer sounded super rude is true. Of course those people would stream their songs and buy tons of their albums so that they get 1 but after that? Do you not know how stupid you sound half K-pop groups have more English in there music and than Despacito has like no your facts first.

Very well said. BTS is not from western mainstream language or race. I doubt if there has been any other artists who did the same with other language than English. The mere comparison without considering its context and background is how they wrongfully justify the mainstream value and superiority. K-pop has also created numerous world records -specifically Bts- But this article has a point though. Tbh nothing is ever liked by everything and everyone. And sadly most of the hate on BTS is pure jealousy.

Wait, so true facts are pure jealousy? Look, Chinese they have like the biggest population in the world, so you know where most of the fans are coming from , Taiwan, South Korea of course , etc. Not so much on the Western side, sorry to say. Why is that not okay?! Jesus Christ. Are you trying to say that every single person in China likes kpop? Or every person in Japan? Or every person in South Korea? Kpop stars get life x harder than Western artists. They have succeeded when THEY think they have succeeded.

So just shut your dick-gagged mouth before I beat the shit out of you. And trust me, after being reported by me, your career will be crap. Like, leave the genre of music alone if your not interested. Writing about it makes it hate so….

We are a country of different ethnicities. No one will EVER have the same exact tastes in music. Some people yell the same about rap, country, rock. BTS is no different. Open minded people may give them a chance and still not like them and others may love them.

Even though they are my fav, I do not consider them the best out of Kpop. They simply appeal to me the most. I just feel sorry for the ignorance some of people.

While United States is always a melting pot country since the beginning some still think that this country belongs to the White and ONLY white American only. I personally like any kinds of music regardless the language the artist use.

I like the music and the message behind it. Just my 2cents. But if they came from the Asian side, it goes down easily, unless it will become a meme or something.

And for them, it translates to a bad and weird thing and it is sometimes, too different for them. But people also define you as weird and strange. Umm no. Anime is widely accepted actually. Just Kpop is not. But I agree that it depends on the person. And if you think about it, people will like songs if they think that the lyrics Meaning they understand them are good or the sounds in the background are good IMO.

Sorry if I offend you, just my honest opinion. That is not true. Two years ago BTS uploaded songs that went popular and got multiple awards for it. Plus I knew kpop a long way back. When Psy was out, no one said that was Kpop. We simply knew it was an Asian man with a catchy song and dance. BTS will grow but most of Kpop will not take hold in the U. I call that a cookie cutter system to make money, not love for the particular genre.

No one likes a poser. Though, I think everyone enjoys those top hits from America due to English is widespread or because the American music industry the starter of anything related to pop, including kpop. Search it up, the creators of kpop got their inspiration from American pop is still the largest on the world where it can spread quickly. The genre is pop.

Pop music made in Korea well, recycled American pop made in Korea. Because you make it in Korea by Asian artists still makes it pop.

Maybe BAtS should go over and record their next album in Taiwan. I mean, a huge amount of recordings are done overseas. You all sound so unintelligent. Is he kidding? Then all their creepy fans go awwwww how awesome and sweet and perfect he is, what a stand up guy! Oh but you love them having success here. Which is it for fucks sake?

But mostly they want to sing to it and people WILL sing along. But they either have to know characters or be able to grasp that shifty phonetic crap that is often off and too fast. One word took him five times slow. Americans can easily pick up Spanish because they hear it often, they likely took it in school, and because it actually is the same language family with shared words. Stop making it something else. I look them up and if I love it then I do my best to learn to sing some of it.

What a platform to grab against sexual inequality and sexual exploitation in their own damned country but some if their lyrics made me fucking sick. Have some respect. The hypocrisy. I say get SHINee here. There are othe groups and solo artists who would do well here. And everyone who dies a crossover?

The first hit has to be in English. Maybe one song in native language at first. We have awesome bands from all over the world speaking tons of different languages. They all made their albums in Enflish and now sell out their tours here…and never whine about it, because English is spoken all over, like it or not, and you reach the most potential fans.

Get over it. When will move past this shit. No one has a right to call Americans names because seems they treat their beloved kpop boys very well and pay big money to see them. Theyvwelcome them. Their nutty fans like anywhere. Shove your bigotry. And if you actually did look up all their lyrics their earlier songs made reference to homosexualism and whatnot.

The fact that you write a full page of bullshit does not mean u spitting facts. Thanks for reading. They are not champions for gay rights, if anything they have backtracked. So do yourself a favor and just go outside, for once, it might do you some good! You need to shut the heck up. No one wants to here your dumb ass opinion either. No one wants to here your dumb ass opinion. Listen man. Non kpop is garbage…but should not be nuked.

Should be saved for bedtime music for the retarded. And you are just garbage that needs be thrown with the rest of my shot. First of all, that is disrespectful. Leave Buckleys girlfriend alone. She just crossed over to kpop…hence this ridiculous article. The guy who wrote this article fails to do any contextual heavy-lifting.

He is actually comparing a nascent band and the genre they are associated with with very established artists, failing to account for their incredible growth in less than a year. They are the best-selling artist worldwide, period, and one of the Top 3 selling pop artists in the USA in pure sales. That alone is astounding. People buy their albums, not singles.

They are in the Top 3 most streamed bands on Spotify worldwide consistently. You can talk about worldwide all you want but none of it matters when he was talking about the US and the numbers in the US. I wish success to BTS and to other artists in the kpop genre, their fans will probbaly settle down with the crazy when they get older.

Well put and Amen. People across the world were blown away. Sorry not this time. Too manufactured…. And many fans over are 25, making all these stereotypes quite trite. Back in during my hs years, I tried to introduce my friends to Super Junior since this group was really popular during and I was using MTV channel to showcase yes kpop was on demand program since then , my friends did liked it and talked about it for several months like about the lyrics, dance moves, and how cute the guys in the group are but 9 years later no one even care anymore.

My friends who used to love kpop back then only listening to either US top-hits or 80ss songs nowadays. Same thing could be apply here with BTS, things might look very promising due to the internet and social media but nothing lasted forever especially for a foreign genre in America music industry. And 2, Eminem is breaking those records as we speak. And this is the internet. It could be because of her possibly 1.

So your grammar online defines your maturity? I have been listening to kpop since and virtually nobody knew about kpop nor did they even know much about Korea, they only heard of japanese and china and vietnam atleast people i knew did and even people i talked to online had no clue what kpop was. Now my son is coming home saying girls are writing BTS name in the hallways of his school and on the desks and on the windows you know how windows get foggy and you can draw things?

It actually amazes me how much its popularity has grown, and for a fully non english speaking genre of music its pretty fucking amazing. Quite a few popular artists regular go platinum. Many of them regularly go platinum several times over. Making a living off of music at all is very difficult. Compair them to other asian idols and you have your answer, its getting more and more popular and the fact that it even scratched the surface is amazing.

You dont even know. Kpop fans dont expect their idols to be justin bieber status we just expect them to be healthy and the fact that bts made it this far to us is amazing in itself. BTS are amazing and hard working people. Very few artists ever do. Someone doing it in a foreign language, and 1 twice in a year has never been done before.

Simple facts. Jesus christ this is as long as the article itself. You know nobody is going to change there opinion on something just based on a comment. But we had an Asian top the Hot Kyu Sakamoto was 1 for three weeks.

In A far more racist time in the United States. Also, Asian countries tend to be some of the most racially intolerent countries out there.

The US and Canada are some of the most tolerant. Sorry for your luck. Bts rocks you have all the makings of doing your dissertation with ease should that time arrive. To put in this much time to rebut a puff piece I salute you and wish you well in your matriculation. Thank you! Streaming makes no sense to me. Its so stupid. Bts are just laying the group work like other groups who debuted around the time they did.

They are like stage moms lol. Crunch numbers again pls. Honestly, this article is kind of condescending. They are surprisingly great live performers.

They also seem to have writing credits, which these fans seem to like. And they have definitely captured youth, they are just the next boyband.

Like One Direction. They even names themselves bts rocks. You have these kind of fans with every celebrity. They are also performing in the O2 Arena. Or are they? That was uncalled for.

Would he have said this if a new british boyband arrived to screaming fans at LAX? BTS are just the new boyband in town. Also, play them on the radio.

That was something else about this article that rubbed me the wrong way. Why should I learn Korean? I liked Despacito, until it got overplayed that is. Are we going to pretend songs like Gucci Gang are lyrical masterpieces? I think Gucci Gang is a bad song and I actually like some kpop myself, but more than likely Gucci Gang is more popular overall.

We definitely can see outside our fandom. Or do you mean genre? We dont need to look outside of it. They are the first to get that far. I am in america, but I can assure you I have had alot of racist comments when people have found out what music I like, seemingly good people have a dark inside. Andy, Thank you for being a voice of reason in this mess. The assumptions people are making about them all being kids are just that… assumptions. Many stans are adults and accomplished adults at that.

Many are doctors, counselors, have their graduate degrees, families and none of that should be negated because of the music they decide to listen to. So, for the comment about it not having a soul, the author could not have looked up any of the lyrics. Additionally, the article seemed like it was just to shoot down something popular. This article was written by THAT guy. BTS are hard working, humble and all around good guys.

Makes me sad for him…. No one should have to live with such intense negativity toward something… But, here he is. I see some of the weird nerds are already defending their favorite group in the comments like its their fucking child.

Its common sense. A fan would just let hate be? Like, have you ever liked or loved anything in your life???? Wait who is this guy? Keep leeching you need it. So people who like non western music are weird nerds? K-pop borrows heavily from the states.

Thats just BTS though. Check some other entertainment companies and then come back when you understand. I know these type of comments when i see them. Kpop is most creative???? Great article and I hope you keep both your insight and wit going for years to come. Keep up the good work! So glad im not an angry little person like you and I can freely think for myself and enjoy whatever types of music I want.

Such as Kpop. I am also from Virginia, guess im from the more open minded side. Leaanna I have seen you post under almost all the posts that say anything slightly not in favor of Kpop. Are you alright? Do you need some professional help? Take a deep breath and just walk out your front door and expose your body to some sunlight, vitamin D does wonders for the mind.

Please, just get some help. You need to know people and their backgrounds before you judge them. Kpop is taking over little by little. In the next 10 years who knows what would happen? BTS has achieved many things, yes!

Do not belittle. They have very sad backgrounds and they worked hard in the music industry to get to this position. They help our youths especially people with trauma, suicidal thoughts and self harm and so much more. Love this……. Fuck the recording industry, Billboard, and all trash out there.

It would seem to be someone who writes, produces and performs original works, which is what BTS does. Yes to this! Hopefully true artistry will shine through someday.

Until then we shall continue to be force fed this drivel garbage. Two more points: 1. To the person who was being oh-so high and mighty, trying to dismiss Buckley by taunting the US: Do some research before you look ridiculous. Buckley is Canadian. In my opinion, that fan is not Buckley. She is simply a child that has let a band become her whole identity. It happens in multiple genres with multiple bands. Any sane person knows Kpop is not mainstream, those are simply headlines people love to use.

You are a idiot if you believe it is or You believe people were actually being seriously when they say Kpop is taking over the world, even to the point where you made the effort to write a entire article about it. That said, the tone of this article is unnecessarily condescending and bitter. I mean what did you expect? They like exaggerating. Fans see it differently and Journalist wants them clicks and as usual they exaggerate.

And that comparison with Beatles was just… wrong on so many levels. Not Today. Admit it, this is the Rise of Bangtan. The reason there was so much hype is because they deserve it. So before you start an Attack on Bangtan, think about it. It was so entertaining writing these puns. Beatles are the best. Britain is the best. Kpop is no good. Britain are the bestest. The hot proves it…its the proofiest!

I like headbanging music. Its the best. Its taking over the world. Like Sulli, Goo had been the target of severe online bullying since late , when she entered a court battle against Choi Jong-bum, an ex-boyfriend who she claimed had threatened to release a sex video allegedly filmed without her consent.

Choi was later acquitted and although the video was never released, Goo suffered from the events and her all-important K-pop image was badly damaged. These women are stars, yet society is stacked against them.

When police are coming at you, turning a victim into victimiser, it seems like a man can attack a female idol who has top lawyers and a big entertainment company behind her and still he has more protection. Back at the Seoul academy, Kim Tae-heon, 21, waits for his audition. Kim grew up in South Gyeongsang province in the rural southern region of the country. He moved to Seoul to attend the school two years ago and spends up to nine hours every day practising his singing, dancing and acting skills at the academy.

For Kim, despite the intense competition, there is nothing else he could see himself doing. At school I would volunteer to sing or dance in front of others. However, he admits the success rate is still very low. I find the ones who are successful are the ones who practise all day.

I see them at the academy all the time. But most of the better entertainment companies try to make this process as enjoyable as they can for trainees.

Kevin Lee realised this while working behind the scenes with BTS. Many, however, see things differently. The demanding nature of the industry can mean signing contracts that can leave stars feeling trapped. The financial rewards are also limited.
