so bizarre how to non kpoppies, bp's coachella perf this year was the pinnacle of performance and yet we're not impressed at all

[fearyes]

you would think that people would know by now the difference between live vs raw vocals.

le sserafim sang live at weverse con but the use of a backtracks is so they can fucking breathe at some point.

[eeunwoo]

that remark itself is so shocking anyways

[freakywonbin]

[nunap]

rant

Ngl it kinda annoys me that the loudest parts of fandoms are kstans and twitter stans because they absolutely don't represent thousands of people but act like they own the ✨ultimate only truth✨ and often idols rely on their opinions and rude takes like it was facts.

Lol I can't believe jkkrs really believes the open secret story. Are they 'secret'? Not really. Other than their very private life they haven't shy away from showing how they love each other. They haven't said it by words but have shown it multiple times. That's what this open secret thing means. That they are not really afraid to show affection in public. JK is not suck Jimin's ear in public nor Jimin is afraid to say he gave a hickey.

BUT about their relationship confirmation IN WORDS, they are not doing it. When Jisoo's relationship was confirmed, her best friend Co-star, who just attended her concert, didn't even knew it. He said he was surprised to learn it from Naver trends, when Jisoo and actor were his freinds. They didn't even shared about a het relationship to their common friend. So people really think Jkk r going around saying they are dating each other ?

Their immediate close family, their extremely close friends who have been CLOSE friends for years (as JM said he had friends who betrayed him so how they can trust even friends with this ?), their staffs who's been with them for years, members ofcourse, must be the only ones who have got a confirmation from them directly. Others like some Dispatch staffs, dick ass companies who appointed saesangs to do what idols knowing so they can snitch on them, high level saesangs like Headliner, some kstans, some eagle eyed music show staffs etc may know it too. Not because they got a confirmation but they saw them, stalked them, they got infos etc. But as exposing a gay couple is illegal they are not doing it. There maybe people who may 'assume' it or draw conclusions based on how they behave with each other (just like we do but in person lol) their regular staffs or regular restaurant staffs or just people around them who can easily read the vibes etc. Now that itself is a lot of people who knows abt them in a homophobic country.. thus a open secret.

Hi anon,

Hmm so I think we all have different definitions of what "open secret " is.

I think of open secret when it comes to the whole of Korea knowing. Like I said, close people know, some of their friends know, the people at the company must know NOW, the rest of the entertainment and music industry don't know. Part of the fandom knows.

Some of the comments on the post have a different decision of "open secret":

So we are all kinda on the right track.

Jimin and Jk aren't all quite out in the open to everyone although they have shown questionable behavior and if we can see it, others see it too, although it may be ignored.

Thanks for sharing.

filipinas as in ppop girlies! idk if u're interested in that tho i find a lot of filipino kstans are lukewarm towards or outright hate ppop so i didnt say it immediately lmao

(as fkr the nsfw vids i mean... it's a free country, a free world,,, i wouldn't stop you,,,mayhaps click a link myself... hmmm 👀)

ppop girlies!! i don't know anyone who likes them, actually, you'd be the first one i know who does! although i do like someone from a ppop group, though!!! if you know jaz from g22?!?? i really like her, she's so funny and pretty.

also... i might just do that the next time someone asks for nsfw links... 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

[byunbaekhyunie]

sorry but I want this breed of kstans to die

[isaidrememberthismoment]

Poor seunghan... I hate kstans

[peachheavycream]

Western news outlets covering how kstans reacted to Karina dating and yall wonder why most ppl don’t like us K-pop stans, yall are making me fucking sick to my stomach

[jentlemahae]

korean ppl are so fucking racist nd xenophobic its wild. and the way kstans are so defensive over this shit, infantilising them and saying ‘they dont know better’ is disgusting. i know not all koreans but this racism/colorism/xenophobia is so deeply rooted in their culture and society its terrifying. from the way ppl w darker skin are treated to even how they treat people who are half korean/another race. even they get treated as outsiders bc god forbid something taints their pure korean blood.

obviously it’s not *every single* korean person who thinks like this and believes these things, but like u said it’s so embedded within their culture that i think it can be generalized as a problem for the whole country and everybody from that culture. honestly tho i think *sometimes* there is some truth in the “they don’t know any better” bs - sometimes the person in question doesn’t know why they’re wrong bcs when they’ve grown up in a backwards cultural environment it’s hard to shake off but they can be nudged in the right way, but i think the problem is that so many knets are completely closed off and want to hold on their offensive/problematic beliefs
