Hot take: Yes Korean men are attractive, no it’s not normal to make being attracted to Korean men a huge part of your personality and have Korean man decor all around your room, only listen to k-pop, only watch k-dramas…

…shame others for being attracted to a white guy, all while being a white woman whose been born and raised in a predominantly white neighborhood. You’re fetishizing these men who have no idea you exist. You’re just as bad as white guys obsessed with Asian women

As someone who used to listen to kpop what drove me away was how toxic their listeners were. Also the pictures covering their room Their phone wallpaper Keeping the pics as Polaroids in their phone case Like I think the albums that come w the CDs or the Vynls where it’s a photoshoot are super cool concepts Even the small cards of the singers But I wouldn’t tape them to my wall like wallpaper

I’m so glad you pointed this out. As a korean woman, it feels disgusting seeing other girls fetishize korean men (and vice versa). It feels unsettling to me and makes a large majority of koreans uncomfortable (cuz some lowkey just dont care, which is a whole other issue cuz they feed into it). Not to mention people saying “I’ve always wanted a korean friend!” Or “I want to date a korean man/woman.” It’s weird and so odd.

as someone who listens to kpop and watches kdramas i agree with the major points made here but also some points not so much. i dont really see how only listening to kpop/watching kdramas/ and having posters up is not normal.. putting posters up is a very normal thing for any fanbase to do.. i also dont really see how only listening to kpop is fetishizing korean men/women? its the same thing as if a white person only listened to spanish music or any other music in a different language…

I’ve got a white boyfriend and theyre constantly badgering me about how they don’t find him attractive and don’t see why I’m with him. It’s incredibly irritating and disrespectful to me and my relationship and I’m sick of it

The one girl in my school who did it the worst was a woc and then she would be like “I hate how woc are fetishized” but will post how much she wants a blasian baby

I’m glad korea as a whole has gained more respect and recognition, but we aren’t just faces and items to just date for their own sick pleasure.

They’re not exclusive points, they’re stacked together in a list. The people I’m describing do all of this. Also, I’m not talking about posters, I’m talking about home made collages of their faces plastered all over their walls.

okay in that case then i agree, not looking for arguments i just wanted to clarify! kpop stans have such a bad reputation because of the bad ones but majority of us are chill and not weird about it! :)
