You’re right ! I try to stay away from webtoons with kpop and romance in the plot because of these type of stuff (and the fact that they’re super cringe) but I saw an edit of this one and got curious and I can’t tell how disappointing it is.
Honestly the author is kinda weird for that no matter how much they want to sell their story trying to paint them as the villain for having a drink together and complaining about valid stuff for the most part is lame. And the fact that we’re supposed to root for mc despite her possibly being a stalker and someone who goes around exposing these people in the name of self righteousness is a big no ! Even tho it helped yoohan in the end it still left a bad taste in my mouth.
Those weird fans aren’t even the main consumers of webtoons so trying to pander to them doesn’t even makes sense to me.
It’s just weird and lame and I’m side eyeing the author for that.
That said, I will still read hoping that she might change direction.
This is totally it i agree soo hard thw author is trying to judge and pander which is coming off extremely hypocritical and ruining any chance the webtoon had to be goof in my eyes like the author was definitely villainsing idols hanging out together and drinking while socialising the stuff she made them say was horrible but the over all concept she was villainsing was sketchy like if hong joo ah wasnt so deep into weird stan behaviour there could have been a justifed redemption but shes literally apart of a group thats ruined idols careers for dating and drinking and stuff
The manhwa is catering so hard to creepy fans the plots interesting enough as to where its ignorable but lets be honest hong joo ah is a creep and its disgusting that in the end she'll end uo with yohan she might have been bullied but thats no justification for her incel stan behaviour the story hong joo ajs the exact type of person genuine fans should hate shes apart of a group that exploits idols prvt lifes and acts like fans have the right to know about their lifes most idols abuse durgs and substances because of how hard and how much pressure fans like those put on them and her geoup also exposes dating lives of idola which is alsp disgusting and izakaya chapter they definitely tried to make it look like idols dating each othet is a bad thing its not the fans who villainise it are and the part about their breaths smelling bad is a genuinely good complaint many ottaku like fans dont show proper hygiene at events this whole series is trying to get at some deep look idols arent what they seem shit and failing its making idols look bad and trying to glorifying disgusting stan behaviour hong joo ah ending up woth yoohan is disgusting this was written targeting self righteous stans
