Forgive me when I say that this outrage is orchestrated and the kpop fans behind it are very transparent.
Since it all started with "this new group is so fresh, unique and unexpected! I'm stanning!" to "why is this group getting so much hype???" to "they're too young! so stop supporting them !!"
ALSO started with "Min Heejin did a good job with the concept !" to "Why is this woman getting so much credit for my faves !" and ended with "She's a creep so stop supporting !"
I've seen enough of this bipolar behaviour from Kpop stans for a number of groups that I'm absolutely numb to it now. I won't play the part of a sheep in this one nor will I play the defense. Because I already know how this all ends. Let me enlighten you about what's going to happen next and it always does happen.
WHAT IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN :
Kpop stans will spread their narratives far and wide (tiktok, youtube, twitter, forums etc). Then there will be a divide between the ones who support pedophilia (so called sheep/the defenders) or the ones who admonish p*dophilia (so called saviors). Because kpop stans cannot have a discussion without it ending in them taking sides. TThroughout this the fanwars escalate because I'll be frank, the root of this outrage is jealousy and while very few will actually admit the truth, or are capable of even seeing the forest (the bigger picture) over seeing the trees (hyperfocusing on just one aspect) there are kpop stans who are intuitive enough to figure it out. And by that I mean they will be able to see the purpose of this outrage that was started by a handful of very jealous individuals.
Their purpose is not to uncover whether this woman is really a pedo or not. No because they were already quick to decide that she WAS a pedophile. Nor is their purpose to create a shift in the industry because nothing will actually change. Know why? Kpop stans are all talk and zero action. Anyway the real purpose here is to stop the hype of this group. Their purpose is to make people shy away from them or make them feel uncomfortable enough that they will no longer choose to stan. Their purpose is to dull people's interest in them.
And the ones who play the role of savior will convince themselves and other people (perhaps the ones who may not have jealous intentions) that what they are doing is the right thing!
You'll find them praising themselves for their behavior!
FINALLY These saviors of kpop will do one of two things after this is all over. If the small jealous group amongst them gets what they really want and as I said before, what they want is to squash the hype for this new group, then they will forget about it after a few days and put their savior persona back into it's box until another group is stealing the spotlight from their faves. But if they do not actually get what they want then they will simply use their narratives as a weapon or as a trump card of sorts to shame other people for even showing any kind of support towards this group.
THE END
Now I say just sit back and watch for this exact behavior to unfold!
