Delusional fans who think their idols made it through sheer talent and work ethic. Sure, there are some who actually come from ordinary working-class families, but this particular group is far from it and one of the worst to use as an example.
I’d guess it’s mostly young, easily influenceable boys from poorer surroundings and with a not yet refined taste in music.
“Refined” not meant condescending but in the sense of diversification:
“I know 5 movies. Those are the greatest movies ever!”. And “I now know 50000 movies. Those 5 10/10 from before are now the worst 5 movies ever”.
“I agree wholeheartedly, and I’d further say that it’s not a phenomenon limited to Blackpink; most of the superfans of any K-pop group want to believe that they have a great deal in common with their favorite member of the group, and that said member got to their position of fame & fortune through hard work and talent alone [presumably without any unfair advantages like being born into wealth]. This results in an extremely one-sided relationship between performer and fans, where the fans feel a personal relationship with the performer where none could possibly exist”
All the Blackpink members come from wealthy families. I don’t know why people keep trying to portray them as self-made🥴

ikrrrrr, and it’s not just BP, most k-pop stans wanna make their Biases look self made/like them, which is literally like so parasocial

oh.
… It’s an information dense jargon.
So much more efficient.
I thought I knew what the word bias meant but I’m not so sure anymore.
Trust me, I don’t think @madamLarp@sh.itjust.works knows either.
it’s kpop stan ideology for your favourite idol of a group
It’s just your fav member is your bias, not sure of the origin tho.
