@manobae_ I m not even hating but what's the use of being liked by the gp if they aren't going to spend. Streams pay very little n even those get eaten up by the producers. In western industry, gp literally fills stadiums even if they know one song
1. JYP hit the jackpot with nmixx
2. Girl groups are the backbone of Kpop
3. Not every song needs a rap
4. 5th gen main dancers > 3rd gen main dancers
5. illit is definitely one of the leaders of the 5th generation
@lopezjosh81 Right these kind of fans just want their idols to be #1 at everything. All idols have strengths and flaws and IRL twice & blackpink are besties. They dgaf about this stupid fanwars

Especially Indonesian audiences--that carried at least half the Kpop market, are 99% homophobes who only fetishizes queerbaiting and rejects the idea of them might be queers irl. Openly queer idols like XLOV has almost zero support here. They hate them even if they just breathe
Maybe ivti will be about (internalized) homophobia in a society that, while goes crazy for idols queerbaiting, is disgusted by the idea of an idol being actually queer? Like how there are some homophobic fujoshis out there, who love reading yaoi but are disgusted by gay men irl
