Do kpop stans get too emotionally invested in their faves?

they definitely do. they take kpop and fandom way too seriously and take all of it very personally, both the successes and the failures

maybe it's mostly an age thing though, something they'll grow out of as they get older

Yes. Just yes. WAY too invested.

Personally I think some fans get too involved with groups or their biases especially as they don't know them or have even met them. They need to get into the real world with real people imo. Some are just obsessed.

Some people get WAAYYY to invested.

I genuinely think it's mad the way people will throw away their morals and comment/say the most horrid things online. Like a study needs to be done on the mental state of people like this cos that's not normal behaviour lol

Yes, but that's why kpop groups are so successful and sell so many albums

Yes too much. honestly i think i'm ok but im not ready if something happens to my faves. I legit was very mad during the April situation

Absolutely.

Yes, I agree. I mean if you stan a group of course you'll get quite invested in them but when it gets close to the obsession, that's when it's too much for me. Some fans get way too attached and feel like they own the idols and can dictate them what to do, others will start fights online etc. Maybe it's a matter of age really.

I think that we have to remember that they're all idols and entertainers, not our friends, and we don't really know them. For me it's enough to be supportive, appreciate what they do and try to spread the love, but I try to avoid the drama. I admit, I used to be a bit too invested when I was younger and would get offended or defensive easily, but I guess I grew out of it.

yes ofcourse

kpop thrive on parasocial activity

if not i doubt kpop will be popular like now
