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”
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
Are you stroking out?
helpp I keep forgetting not everyone knows kpop stan terminology
What is the main demographic of this fandom?

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.
