stantwt in a nutshell

[묻어남 @_arumeruarumeru]

There are people who believe that Koreans are the most racist people in the world, and who become angry in advance because they assume that Koreans will inevitably be racist toward them or look down on them. Many of these people are also fans of K-pop idols or Korean dramas, and they use the excuse of “getting revenge on racist Koreans” to hurl all kinds of insults at Koreans without feeling any guilt.

Honestly, I think a significant part of this comes from the fact that they are far too obsessed with Korea. What Koreans say seems to carry an enormous amount of weight for them. They monitor even the most trivial opinions on Korean online communities, spend all day looking for what Koreans are saying, and seem to want to control even posts with only 20 views, somehow trying to dictate what 50 million Koreans should think.

The way they turn completely ordinary situations—such as one or two Koreans casually talking about something online—into entertainment content and make a big deal out of it with titles like “K-nets’ reaction” or “Koreans react to ___” is another example. It makes them seem unable to tolerate even a single Korean showing any attitude that could be interpreted as ignoring them.

There are plenty of people from developing countries who complain about being ignored or looked down on by Korea. But those same countries are often ignored or treated far more openly harshly in other parts of the world as well. Yet these people generally don't pay much attention to those situations. They don't even know what people in those countries are saying about them, so naturally they don't go around attacking those people either.

And much of the evidence used to support the claim that “Koreans are racist” isn't someone being directly insulted to their face or physically attacked by a Korean. A lot of it consists of comments from online communities.

Even when Koreans actually respond with racist or hostile comments online, it often seems to happen after they have first been confronted with hostile remarks or accusations rooted in a sense of victimhood. Sometimes I even wonder whether they deliberately provoke Koreans because they want to see a reaction from them.

At some point, it feels less like they actually hate Korea and more like they are obsessed with interacting with Koreans themselves. They seem almost desperate to get some kind of reaction out of Koreans.

I find it really bizarre that there are dozens of these Korean internet translation sites operating in different languages around the world. They translate posts from obscure incel communities that practically no one in Korea even uses, and even take individual posts with barely 20 views and sensationalize them as though they represent “K-netizens’ reactions.” They seem excessively obsessed with finding out what Koreans think and what kinds of topics they talk about every single day.

It’s like randomly selecting completely mundane posts from a community for Korean high school girls—things like “I’m jealous of my pretty friend” or “I don’t know how far I should go physically with my boyfriend”—translating them one by one, and then having foreigners read the posts and leave comments as though they were actually having a conversation with the Korean girl herself, discussing her post among themselves. The behavior itself feels genuinely creepy and bizarre to me.

Perhaps K-pop fans don’t actually like K-pop itself so much as they like the very existence of “Koreans who like K-pop.”

But by “like,” I don’t mean simple fondness or interest. It is more like an unsettling and peculiar fixation, in which all kinds of emotions—obsession, hatred, jealousy, and a sense of superiority—are tangled together.

They constantly monitor Korean online discourse and social issues, tracking what Koreans are saying day after day and trying to insert themselves far too deeply into what is happening in Korean society. Rather than simply consuming Korean culture, they seem to form a kind of parasocial-sociological relationship with Korea, endlessly observing and interpreting Korean society and even the everyday conversations of ordinary Koreans as though they were animals being watched inside a zoo enclosure.

In the end, Korea seems to have become something more than just the backdrop that produces K-pop for these people. It has become a vast object of social observation—something they feel compelled to watch, analyze, and react to every single day.

An interesting disconnect in how people like this view The Godfather as snobbish is that it WAS popular filmmaking at the time. It's purely through its reputation that they've constructed this understanding of the its place. In 50 years kids will act like this about Interstellar.

As painful as it was for us fans to let Mark go, it is even more painful for 127. They spent 14 years living with him, training with him, and working together as a group. He is their family, not ours. Please don't hold it against them if they aren't public with their feelings, they are doing their best to move on in the current circumstances.
