Toxic Fans in the K-Pop Community

One thing that sucks about the K-Pop community are the countless toxic "fans" within it. Now, there's always going to be people like this in any kind of fandom, but since K-Pop is becoming the community that is covering the globe, it's kinda hard to ignore them.

One example of this being BTS Army. When BTS was nominated for "Best Social Artist" at the Billboards, many fans decided to insult the fandoms of the other nominees-mainly the Beliebers. There's also that time when a Taylor Swift fan decided to insult the fandom by calling them "Sushi-stans" which lead to them being bombared with immature comments from BTS Army.

Another example including BTS Army is the never-ending fight between Army and EXO-L. The fandom between the two is always arguing about whether one group is better than the other. This leads to various hate comments between the two which is ironic since both groups are known to be very good friends.

 Now, onto more recent matters. Very recently, it's been confirmed that E'Dawn from Pentagon and HyunA are dating. The same day,two more dating rumors came into light which lead many fans into leaving negative comments such as "I was getting super into Pentagon lately but I'm so disappointed now"(Information from allkpop).

This really bugs me since people as toxic as this have such a negative effect on those we look up to in the community. It's gotten to the point where it makes the idols question their worth and it's they're really good enough in the music and entertainment industry as a whole. People tend to forget that idols are humans too which is really sad. Jonghyun Kim from SHINee commited suicide almost a year ago because of depression, pressure of fame but also because he felt like he wasn't good enough. Sadly, the one time that all the fandoms forgot about their negativity with one another was when he commited suicide.  How much more is it going to take for those people in the community to finally see the weight their words and actions take on those they "love"-those they "look up to"?

I know, this isn't something I usually write, but I just needed to get it off my chest after so much that has happened for the past year or so. Anyways...I'll see you guys in the next article. Until then, keep your paws and bowls of ramen up everyone. Nya.  🐾

Top 5 love songs

To end off Valentine's Month, I made this list of top 5 love songs that I have found for the past few years.
Please note some of these songs might be break up songs and others might have different interpretations depending on the person..

5- I’ll Be At your Side -Miu Chu and Bii

4- Best of Me -BTS

3- Your Song - LuHan

2-Anniversary- KAT-TUN

1-  Love letter- Gackt

Three Songs you should listen to *post Halloween *

Hey Guys,
I'm so glad to be back. I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to fill this month with many things creepy or Halloween-ish, but because of everything that went down during and after the hurricane I wasn't really able to write or post anything. I did manage to write at least a list of songs or music videos you should watch to get into the Halloween spirit (if you just want to plain creep yourself out with certain images).

Original Sin- Gackt


This one is one of my personal favorites because the story in the music video is good itself and the song is just fantastic. The music video shows Gackt himself being tied up into a chair and how a girl mercilessly killing everyone in a building- leaving a lone boy alive. However she ends up giving him what was in her (a demon of some sort) and ends up dying herself in the process.

V- Lee Jung Hyun


The first few seconds of this music video is dang creepy as it is. It's enough to send a chill down your spine. With the fact that a man wakes up with a random woman in a house isn't creepy enough, he is trapped inside a dollhouse with her.

Chick Chick- Wang Rollin 

Now this music video isn't creepy in the "spooky" kind of way, it's in the disturbing kind of way. The reason why I say this is because it's just one of those MV's that are just plain weird and the music itself doesn't help due to the fact that she even makes chicken noises throughout the entire song. She is also dressed as a chicken while some images make you stare at the image in confusion. This video might not be like the others that's creepy in a slightly scary fashion but the MV somehow managed to get over 30 million views on YouTube, so if you want to creep yourself out of confusion, this is the one for you.

So there you have it guys. I just wanted to say thank you for being patient with me not being able to post anything for over a month, I hope you all enjoyed this list. I will try to post frequently like I did in the past so look forward for that. Take care everyone!! Nya!

Chinese Hatsune Miku?

Hey guys!

So recently I found on YouTube called “花花世界“ (Flower World) by 洛天依 (Luo Tian Yi). Now, the video is cute and all, but I couldn’t help see the similarities she has with Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid. She’s a synthesized voice like Miku (of course, she's a Vocaloid as well so it's a given) and the way she’s drawn (other than the hair) is strikingly similar to Miku.

Vocaloid has been around for 10 years now and there’s no questioning how popular it has become throughout the years. For many people, it’s their main way of listening to Japanese music. However, I’ve recently come across a video by a Hatsune Miku lookalike by the name of Luo Tian Yi. Now, Luo Tian Yi is also a Vocaloid, but she’s Chinese. She’s also the main Chinese Vocaloid so that might be the reason she and Hatsune Miku look alike. I’ve heard many of her songs such as “Story in the Wind”, “ 花花世界”, and “Alley”.

Personally, I am actually happy that they have Chinese Vocaloid because it makes the Vocaloid fan-community bigger and you have more variety of languages while listening to them. I hope you guys check her songs out because they are really good and catchy, as well as interesting (of course all Vocaloid songs are).

Kim Seok Jin's dad is a CEO....so..?

Hey Guys,

So you might've heard the buzz going on that BTS's Kim Seokjin's father is a CEO. The K-Pop community- most specifically ARMY (BTS's fandom name) have been going crazy since the word got out. Now, there are some people who are not really paying much mind to this information, but there are many other who are simply losing their minds over it. Some fans are really supportive and commenting how humble Jin stayed throughout his music career, however...there are other who are saying very rude things about this. Some of them are saying that Jin bought his way to becoming an idol while others are saying that he should stick with having less lines than the other members since he "doesn't deserve to even be in BTS".


Here's my thoughts on this:
First off: why should it even matter? Jin is still Jin no matter which family he's from. He worked hard to become an idol. If he did "buy his way in", he wouldn't have had to gone through his trainee days or much less work as hard as he does with the other members. Heck, he wouldn't even be in a group- he would've just gone solo with his music, but he didn't. He stuck with the members of BTS.
Second: Don't be disrespectful. Those of you who say you support BTS shouldn't say such nasty things about Jin. He's worked very hard and you guys are not showing your support for him or the group if you say that he just bought his way up and that he should stick with having less lines. I'm sorry to say this, but you're not a real fan of the group if you're making such rude comments about one of the members.

I know this isn't the first time someone or some people were making rude comments about a member..but this is gone too far. And even though I'm writing this about Jin, I'm asking you guys to stop making rude comments about a specific member- not only in BTS but in other groups as well. What you say doesn't only effect that one member, but the entire group as well. They love each other like a family and if one member is felling horrible, they all do as well. Anyways, I apologize if it seemed like I was ranting about this; it was something that has been bothering me for quite some time.

See you guys,
Nya!
