I always see kpop stans, and Korean forums praising them, and separating them when it comes to bashing boy groups.
Of course they still get hate obviously, but they have more of a middle ground when it comes to kpop stans and boy groups.
I've heard its because of there music, I've also seen Koreans say because they like their "flower boy" image and cuz they have no controversies.
TXT also get praised alot for their funny, sweet, and relatable personalities.
Me myself, im a casual fan. So I check in on them once in the blue, but it was something that crossed my mind just now.
