I watch many times Kfans calling us i-roachs, despising us or what we have to say. So, why ifans care so much about what koreans like, why ifans value so much Koreans charts?
Why ifans care so much about what koreans like when they dont like us and call us i-roachs?

Changed the title of the thread from “Why ifans care so much about what koreans like when the call us roachs?” to “Why ifans care so much about what koreans like when they dont like us and call us i-roachs?”. -
Because a group's longevity is dependent on how well they sell. If a group doesn't have a large, enthusiastic (financially) international fanbase -- which is hit or miss for a lot of groups -- then they need at least a stable Korean fanbase that will show up ($$) for them.
Look at BVNDIT who just disbanded, despite being relatively well-liked around these forums. But their sales were crap; being liked by i-fans didn't translate into actual sales.

It's always been really weird for me how some ifans make a 180 on their opinion based on translated comments from korean sites which are basically just..forums..like this one..

Mmm. I doubt Kpoopies think about the survive of a group when they brag about a high positions in charts.
About Bandid. Lol, you mean this forum? We barely are 1000 people in total. Thats nothing.

just as much as some k-fans care what some i-fans think
there will always be those people that will criticise another's opinion regardless of whether they are K or I or whatever letter of the alphabet and remember always that
the silent majority often gets drowned out by the vocal minority

Korean opinions matter cause Kpop groups are from....
drum roll......
Korea.
Taylor Swift dont care how she does in Albania, she cares about the Hot 100, just like how Korean artists care about Melon.
Im talking about the fans. TBH, i dont understand the obsession. In my case for example. Sneakers and Pop reach the top ten and that means very little to me. And knowing what Kfans think about ifans, i care even less.
-
Idk too why some ifans act as if charting in one country is better than charting in multiple countries. Like they'll praise kpop acts that charted on melon but can't be found topping international charts acting as if they're the big thing but calling some acts nugus because they can't chart on melon 100 though they charted on different music platforms in many countries.

Korea.
This. It's the most relevant market for Kpop, and always will be.
Also, i-fans aren't a monolith and kpop is very niche everywhere except for parts of parts of Asia where it is a little less niche.

because most groups need that footing in sk to grow outside their country.

A Kpop groups first priority is their home country's charts. Without doing recently they might as well disband after a couple flop releases like hundreds and hundreds (maybe thousands?) of idols have over the years
-
Because just liking what you want to like is a foreign concept to kpop stans. They need the approval of *someone* and so they just parrot what they see knetz say.

can't we just enjoy the music? calling i-fans; i-roaches is so derogatory
-
because korean people knows them all 😌

Thats how they call us when they dont like what we are saying about anything. And yes, is very derogatory.
-
I mean Ifans aren't really any better either
2. Cause their Korean and Kpop is Korean
-
They don't really care about what Koreans like, it's just one more tool to drag about their faves achievements. Plenty of groups have never charted on Melon and they are sustainable because of their international fanbase. Plenty of groups have charted on Melon and then went nowhere.
