Why don't k idols often have public beef or feuds amongst each other like Western celebrities?

Quote from Serendipity2000

Be it Taylor vs Kanye, Kanye vs Drake, or Miley Cyrus vs Nicki Minaj,

Some of these Western feuds are real and some have been staged to drive up profit and engagement so why doesn't kpop companies adopt the formula as well?

Ikw that idols are not exactly A list celebrities in sk for the public to get invested but fandoms definitely will. So besides my theories on the poll what prevents companies from showing the messier parts of being a celebrity as well?

If they were to get into fights they would get canceled and their company would probably get their contract over with. Besides maybe Jay Park- mans can do what he wants and people dont give a shiii

fanwars are already enough. i don't wanna see even idols fighting as well

It’s wrong to compare western artists with idols. You should compare Disney stars and the strict expectations from them while they’re still in Disney with kpop.

I think it's the culture. Idols get dragged sometimes for not bowing to each other, imagine if they showed open distaste.

Is this just limited to Korean K-pop idols?

How is with other Korean artists besides K-pop idols - like hiphop/artists, solo artists (like IU), any other charting Korean artists?

I'm genuinely wondering, cause I don't know: is there known beef between Korean artists, like so often happens and is shown between American artists and celebs?

Disney stars correlation is spot on.

because of the so called "image"

they have to maintain the "my oppa/unnie is so pure and innocent" agenda that fans love

aren't kpop idols supposed to be pretty pg, considering they target young teens? It's a bit like the disney channel kids, no? Parents don't like it if their kids listen to people who act like tugs. Additionally, politeness and respect seem to be more ingrained in the culture at least on the surface.

Maybe becoz they do not have a

reason to have a beef with each

other? Some are even friends before

they've become idol.

fandom wars are already very intense in kpop without the idols having public beef with each other...

I cannot see any Kpop idols do something like this, unless they just hit a breaking point.

The fights would lowkey be so good

diffferenttttt country

Different society with different expectations

All of those Western 'beefs' are dumb af, so I'm glad they don't.

this thread is dumb

kpop have already enough fanwar and the recent rumor/scandal/bullying to deal with -_-
