Seventeen: "Why don't they have seventeen members?" Netizens talk about how non K-pop stans view idol groups

AKP STAFF

Recently, a netizen posted on an online community how non-K-pop stans view idol groups. 

The netizen who created the post explained they're a "Muggle," a person who isn't a K-pop stan and not a fan of TWICE, BTS, NCT, WINNER, etc. They explained they have been around K-pop stans and have friends who are fans of the K-pop idol groups. However, the netizen never took an interest in these groups.

She explained she knows about idol groups and have seen them on broadcast but never became a specific group's fan. She decided to make the online post out of pure boredom and share how non-k-pop fans think of each idol group.

The netizen described each idol group using a few words on how these non-K-pop fans view each boy group idol or girl group idol.

Seventeen: The group that doesn't have seventeen members

NCT: Twenty or thirty good looking people group

You all you need to pay attention to the context of articles!! This is from non-kpop fans perspectives, so they aren't going to follow and know everything we kpop fans do. Give them a break, and be happy that your groups have an impact even too those that don't care for the genre.
