They put out family friendly music. Their most recent singles "Sneakers" and "Boys Like You" have very upbeat, feminine sounds and were massively succesful in Korea (their best selling yet) but western fans HATE the songs and make up stories of how miserable the group members are and how they hate performing the songs too
Boys Like You has a good message of not dating just anyone and not having sex casually. Sneakers is about being motivated, staying active, and pursuing your goals.
Yet the American fanbase rallies against and says horrible thing about the songs and the girls..
Another good example is go on youtube, there are so many videos of American fans accusing Koreans of "appropriating" black culture just because rapping or urban elements are often part of music...However, when Korean groups stick to more traditionally Asian style electronica or bubblegum pop, these same fans will brigade them and say they are failures.
This is a big reason why so many Korean artists will work in Japan more than the US. Less politics, more focus on the music, and less drama overall. Twice (what this thread is about) is massively succesful in Japan as a result. No coincidence she wore a Q shirt since Japam does have a good Q movement
The tempter tantrums about this online are freaking hilarious!
Yeah American fans are all cucks. They do not get or understand Korean culture at all
I gather not just American but western world soy consuming limp wristed faggots. I’d warrant a fair few of them in Australia too.
Explain please.
One example is the group Itzy.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what fat, lazy, reality-television watching Americans say.
I like checking in with Baby Metal now and again. Got turnd on to them almot 10 years ago. They're Good.
Kpop just leveled up in my mind. Still too bubblegum for me, but nice to see popular groups showing how to do it right.
Black Pink is a major appropriation though…. It’s kind of funny.
Not all fans. My son's a huge fan of K-Pop and is also an anon.
Explain please
