ok so
I didn’t watch the entire 30ish minutes video–I kind of skipped to some parts and watched snippets of it but I assume that the girl in the video was supposed to portray the typical K-Pop fangirl stereotype? And this guy was breaking up with her?
Bahas stereotypenya dulu ya–memang banyak kasus ekstrim kayak mbak di video tadi dan aku juga sering ketemu, tipe fangirl kronis yang hidupnya adalah kpop kpop kpop dan kpop, terus kesukaannya sama kpop itu nggak mendorong dia untuk jadi produktif di hal yang positif dan malah destruktif buat dia sendiri dan hubungan dia sama orang lain. Jadi it really is understandable as to why the stereotype exists karena the vocal majority of K-pop fangirls memang begitu. And it’s honestly a very interesting phenomenon to observe because the stereotype of a fan is restricted only to K-pop fans, even obtaining the term ‘kpoper’ while other types of fan e.g. jpop fan, cpop fan, britpop fan do not get a particular term (britpoper/jpoper/cpoper does not exist).
((There is also another term–‘chingu’ but that is going to take up another post it’s very interesting))
Jadi memang bisa dimengerti kenapa bisa ada stereotype kayak gitu (note, understandable–I do not uphold nor do I confirm that the stereotype is absolute).
Based on my own observation and experience, the only way to fight the stereotype is by proving it wrong. If you feel that K-pop fangirls should not be perceived that way, prove it wrong–do amazing things, earn money, get good grades, get your education and career. Have other interests too–liking K-pop is fun and it’s just as nice as other things, but if it makes you unproductive or holds you back from pursuing other great things in life/maintaining your personal life and your relationships with others–it needs to be re-evaluated.
As for the boyfriend, I can understand when a boyfriend wants to break up with his girlfriend (or vice versa) because he feels that her interest in K-pop is beginning to steer her in a bad direction and she’s not valuing him as a significant other in her life as much as she values K-pop artists. It’s a whole other story when the interest is entirely harmless though.
Oh and, breaking up with your girlfriend on national tv (provided the video mentioned above was not scripted beforehand–which I doubt lol) is an idea that makes me cringe.
Here’s a pic of my favourite unnie and have a great night! 😀
