so it seems like wanna one is the group that has a lot of akgae fans right now. but is there any other groups that seem to have a lot of akgae fans too? the only one i can think of is exo and bts but at the same time they also have a lot of a whole group-stans too
have you read the comments on blackpink's videos? omg it's always filled with akgae fans complaining about fans complaining about akgae fans rip
Wanna One and I.O.I..... considering every member of the group is only in the group because of people voting for them as individuals. The whole concept is kind of built on single member fans to begin with
Wanna One and IOI for sure. Red Velvet also has some serious akgae problems, Seulgi akgaes are toxic but now that Joy gained some popularity her fans became annoying too. Blackpink too, so many Lisa and Jennie akgaes. Exo, there are many OT8 akgaes LOL. Lay has almost no Korean fans left. SHINee too, Taemin has plenty of fans who don't give a f about the group.
basically people who stan individual members of the group way more-- to the point where supporting the group as a whole comes later crossing that line of having a bias in a group, and then putting your bias ahead of everyone in an obnoxious fashion
Blackpink, esp Lisa akgaes since she has the entirety of Thailand behind her and is also the most popular member internationally. The comment section is a mess everytime a new video come out...
J-Hope and Jin have a lot of akgae fans. Kang Daniel seems to have a lot of akgae fans too. Taeyeon has some. Chen some too. G-Dragon has quite a few too. So does B.I and Bobby xD
this tbh. groups that have lot of akgae fans tend to have lot of in-fandom fan wars too. ive seen few with wanna one and it's definitely not pretty
BTS - I've seen so many akgaes say they just stan the group for the maknae line and that the hyung line is irrelevant. just typing that triggers me EXO - back during the Exotic days, people only stanned the Korean members (even though that's still the case now when it comes to Lay). Other than that, same thing as BTS akgaes: pretty much ignoring the older members' existence. Wanna One and I.O.I are a given seeing as how they're built off of individuals voting for members. I've also kinda seen it with Monsta X - a lot of people say they're only really interested in the group for Wonho.
they have a lot of them too xD but so far i read more people who stan Jin and J-Hope always throw pity parties because they are under appreciated xD But I think they all have a good amount of exposure
Yeah, same here. Those two definitely have the most. It's not their faults, though, it's almost always the younger members that have akgae fans since they're closer in age to said fans - which makes dating them seem more... realistic, apparently? Jin and J-Hope probably have some of the least tbh. Especially Jin; most people love him because they love how he treats the other members, so it'd be kinda hard to love that AND be an akgae lol
ooh i noticed that too, but yeah i agree that jin needs to be highlighted more. esp in their line distribution and mv ^^
