I feel bad for teens that are into kpop

eh teens could get body image issues from literally any forms of media that is out there.

Unless you are suggesting that they avoid all forms of media.

On the other note I got into kpop when I was a teen and looking at the hard work of the idols and it inspired to go for what I like.

this is why I wish I would've held off on being a kpop fan until I was maybe a little older, I got into kpop when I was 13, and it was so bad for my self-esteem. I mean every idol is so pretty and perfect, eventually you start wondering what the heck is wrong with your face and body.

Nah man kpop idols never make me feel ugly

I was pretty realistic as a teen, I knew no amount of plastic surgery would make me look half decent and accepted it.

Indeed, that's why teens should get into metal: lots of big, hairy dudes with questionable looks who won't make them feel bad about themselves.

It’s more important to have loving and responsible parents/support system. You can’t control media and media has always been about looks, kpop is nothing new. If anything at least teens these days have access to the internet where they can see posts like yours and others on social media that focus on body positivity. Imagine before all that and what they saw on TV was the only view of the world.

It will never be idols’ fault if people lack self esteem and confidence.

This is false. Idols share openly their atrociously bad dietary habits and how little they eat and constantly talk about how they shouldn’t eat this and that. Not only do idol participate in unhealthy eating and dieting practice(which is their prerogative) but they share it with their young and impressionable fans and this is a terrible habit of theirs that should be called out more often (my favs included)

Quote from eunchaepower

the whole list of body issues and body dysmorphia kpop can create for teens..I can't imagine being a teen into kpop at my most vulnerable brain state and then you see photoshopped ps surgery pics makeup pics then look in the mirror and wonder why you in your natural state don't look like that

Ofcourse this isn't really kpops fault or anyone's particular fault as this dates back to the early 20th century

Listen if you are reading this and you see a kpop idol that is very pretty/handsome and you look at yourself and you think "wow I don't look anything like them doss this mean I'm ugly" remember things can look very different and equally beautiful.

Remember christmas lights don't look anything like flowers and snowflakes don't look anything like gemstones but they're all still beautiful

I got into Kpop when I was 20. Honestly, K-pop helped me to take care of my appearance better. First impressions and how you present yourself are important when interacting with other people.

Like how you take care of the places you live in, if you put an effort into good hygiene and looking at least halfway decent people will definitely notice in a positive way. You don't have to be conventionally attractive you just have to care for yourself.

Having a messy horrible living space and not putting effort into looks or hygiene etc Tends to reflect the mental state of a person.

If you can't respect yourself or your own living space, it is a red flag for other people.

No, my parents taught me basic hygiene lol.

I was more talking about fashion etc. And not just wearing what is most comfortable to me even if it looks bad lol.

Also, I'm neurodivergent so tbh I did not really care about whatever other people thought as long as they left me alone lol. (Still don't but I make an effort to pretend to be interested in other people's small talk etc ohh and to smile so people stop asking me if something is wrong when im perfectly happy lol)

kpop should be the least thing you'd be worried about bfr.
