In the latest development of Korea's biggest drug scandal that swept through the local entertainment scene this year, actor Lee Sun-kyun reportedly died by suicide in Jongno District, central Seoul, on Wednesday. He was 48 years old.
Yeah, as I said, you have a very limited view on that genre of music and you’re really proving that now. Like any type of music, people are into it for a number of reasons.
I figured that came through in the “I’ve been following kpop for the better part of a decade” comment that you originally replied to, but since it wasn’t clear enough, yes, I’m a fan of kpop and know many fans of kpop who aren’t 4chan people at all, and many who don’t care about idol lives or the papparazzi pictures. (Yes, obviously there are 4chan folks who like kpop, like you can find 4chan folks who like any genre of music).
Kpop, like the majority of pop, is typically marketed to young women because women spend money on products or tend to have more decision making power over where money is spent (obviously varies by person or household). 4chan is usually not a haven for young women, or any women for that matter.
Like the majority of music genres, the fans are diverse and are interested in it for a variety of different reasons. If the only people that you’re finding who listen to kpop are 4chan folks, I think that says more about the folks that you associate with or the places that you frequent than it does about kpop fans.
That’s a very limited view on a genre of music.
Not really, considering the audience cares more about their idol’s personal lives than the music they make.

I assume you’re a fan of kpop?

Ok.
