#Protect Kpop Idols

[always-is-always]

I just watched a clip from the Met Gala, where Stray Kids were posing for photos at the base of the stairs. The photographers were making awful remarks about the guys, as some shouted out to them to attempt to get Stray Kids to strike a pose...

It was not good.

I don't know much about the group at all, other than they are from SK. My wild guess is that they may not speak or understand English very well?

Also, it is so freaking obvious that the photographers don't have any idea of how to interact with international artists who may not understand English. It is disgusting, if I am honest here....

I'm reminded of some of the interviews of BTS with English-speaking people, where it was painfully obvious that the guys didn't really understand what was being asked (RM included), and that the interviewer was completely clueless as to how to "interview" people who don't speak their language. It is inexcusable, in this day and age.

People in the West think nothing of judging and ridiculing others who don't fit their idea of normalcy or their idea of how someone "should" behave. In the media especially.

Seeing Jenny and the members of Stray Kids attempting to jump through hoops at an event that is designed for people who were groomed for it (the Kim K.'s, the Katy P.'s, etc., etc..) makes me feel sad for them. The culture of the entertainment industry of the West/America just eats people alive. Literally and figuratively. It is not a place for just anyone. It is filled with darkness. It is filled with people who just itch to get control of young innocent souls like Jenny, Stray Kids, BTS, and anyone like them....

I could say that I hope those photographers are called out for their horrible comments, and that they loose their positions in the industry. That probably won't happen as people turn a blind-eye to things like that, in the entertainment and fashion industries.

There's really no smooth way or easy way to end this little ramble. It is what it is. I just felt sad for the guys after nearing the obnoxious photographers, and had to somehow voice my opinion.... Hence this share...

In a perfect world we wouldn't see artists and musicians from outside of the US attempting to fit in, and attempting to achieve some type of recognition. It's just not a fit for most of them. They literally have to sell their Souls to make it big.

I hope Jenny has someone close that protects her. Someone who actually understands what goes on behind closed doors, in the music industry, the fashion industry and in the entertainment industry at large. The same goes for Stray Kids and all other K-Pop artists. All of them. May they all be protected.

We need to do More about toxic kpop “fans”

😡Seriously something’s needs to be done about these sasaengs, haters, and antis. Idols lives are hard and stressful enough as is they don’t need to be made harder by toxic idiots dehumanizing them. I have seen people speaking out but it’s not enough. More needs to be done so that these toxic people learn that their actions have consequences. They need to learn to be afraid. So afraid they don’t ever show they face in public on online ever again!! 😡

END ALL SASAENGS, ANTIS, AND HATERS ✊🏼

Apparently stays have been spreading it so please see. Even if it’s false, it’s better to be aware and prepared.

companies really make it hard for us to support groups. this is the tale as old as time but lately, it’s like so many bad things happen that you just stand back and look at everything and just sigh

[justaholeinmysoul]

Empathy and sympathy for weird, different and weak people are decreasing so alarmingly tbh .

I can't believe that people freak out for some slur on a TV show and tits but let others post online the most ableist, eugenics and disgusting shit

i’m in such disbelief right now and beyond disgusted.

i really hope y’all are choosing your morals over kpop; because we do not know these men at all. i will never side with or defend a predator and a criminal, even with little to no proof. even if there is the smallest chance he may be innocent, i will always believe the victim first.

some of you, as fans of the boys for years and him in general, i know you must be feeling disappointed and betrayed. you’re not dumb for previously supporting him, as we couldn’t have possibly known. but now is the time for a reality check and it’s time to wake up and take a step back. this just goes to show that we know absolutely nothing about them.

for sm to just outright put out a statement on their own before any rumors even surfaced and immediately kick him out? this has to be insanely serious and i’m terrified of what he could’ve done. the crazy thing is with everything currently happening in korea with the telegram situation, and korean women constantly being in danger in general because of the men there, i’m not at all surprised that celebrities are being exposed. sm has protected criminals before, and held onto lucas when his scandal came out as well as other artists who have been exposed for similar crimes. i can’t even imagine the severity of the current situation. we’ve seen what happened with the burning sun, and these men are not immune to being misogynistic, vile human beings.

members have already unfollowed him and deleted posts with him in them; his best friend of 17yrs has unfollowed him. the company taking the initiative and him getting kicked out of the group in less than a second before anything even came out, no denying the claims or even trying to defend him. that should be enough to tell you and understand how serious this actually is. i am beyond disgusted with him and this whole situation.

i sincerely hope the victim is doing okay and praying for them to heal and get the justice they deserve. and remember that your love for these celebrities should always be conditional, because we do not know them. it’s their job to put on a show and show you their public persona, but behind closed doors? we don’t know what they’re actually like. we put them on a pedestal and yet we don’t know what they’re really capable of. they are still men after all. i hope the police are taking this seriously. there needs to be consequences and these women need to be protected.

let this be a lesson to all of us. they don’t know us, and we don’t know them, not really, not at all.

ALWAYS choose morals over these strangers you idolize. and as women, we should be standing with the victims.

maybe not all men, but enough of them. and maybe not all men, but somehow always a man. and going forward, i will continue to support nct as a whole with the remaining members. however, keeping the situation in mind, i will be supporting from afar for a little while. if the situation escalates and other members are investigated and new information comes to light about the rest of them either knowing or possibly being involved, it would be best to step away for good. i will do my best to stay updated. but i do hope the rest of the members are doing okay, and hopefully no other members were involved; but this, just shows that they can always surprise us. you never think it’ll be your fave, until it is.

let’s hope this causes a domino effect and more of these people are exposed and charged for the crimes they’re committing.

sending love to anyone who has ever experienced sexual violence or has been targeted and been in a similar situation. it is not your fault and it never was!

love you all and my dms are always open if you need to vent. <3

❗️EDIT: also i wanna add that we need to not praise the rest of the members or any other celebrity for simply unfollowing him on social media. that is the least of anyone’s worries.

we don’t know if they were aware, we don’t know if they knew and were protecting him or turning a blind eye. it could be them trying to save themselves and clear their guilty conscience. maybe they didn’t know and are just as shocked as we are, we don’t know that either.

we blindly trust these people and believe they have good intentions but look at where that can lead to. fans being upset is valid, yes; but remember people with money and power will do whatever it takes to sweep things under the rug and make it go away in order to save face and keep their image and reputation.
