random but
do you think people's obsession with Kpop and why that 'genre' of music became so popular is due to korean/asian fetishisation? like I know this is established about the extreme Kpop lovers called 'koreaboo' but im talking like the general more moderate fanbase who aren't considered fetishisers
because no offence bands like bts are good but they really aren't that good (in terms of music) and I get that boy/girl band appeal (like Beatles, 1D, little mix) may play a bit into it but surely it can be more attributed to that they are asian ('exotic' even) which mirrors the trend in asian for porn
one example of this is how lots of men like 'pure' youthful looking asian girls so thats why we see that popularity for porn but then there's that young girl band called blue jeans who I know are all underage and play into that innocent little girl role
idkkk its jus seeing a bunch of white people obsess over Koreans have always been a bit icky to me
To start off, sorry that so many people are attacking you even though you phrased everything as a question… but I do think there is some fetishization played into but it only contributes a small amount. Many people who got into K-pop got into it when they were young and they weren’t fetishizing korean members. I just think K-pop is super appeal......
