BlackPink, Empathy and the Parasocial Relationship

  • no offense but parasocial relationship apply more for boy groups and certain boy group fandom ( you can guess)

    if anything the pinks never feed fans to develop that lol most blinks are genuinely here because we like the girls but mostly for their music and their concept fit our taste.


    Obviously, as fans we want to support them but we don't really expect or demand that they communicate with us we know they'll do it when they feel like it


    edit: I will admit that I didn't read your op but the parasocial it's funny when bp and blinks are not the best example of that

  • We love to project our own beliefs onto idols, but their experiences are drastically different from ours. I doubt they think YGE is an evil, corrupt company that mistreated them.


    If anything, it's always a smart business move to hold out for contract negotiation instead of signing right away. Pro athletes do this.


    Let's respect their wishes and appreciate what they've given us instead of giving them more pressure to decide one way or the other. Sometimes I feel a lot of "fans" aren't really fans; they just want to live vicariously. Do they even listen to the music, watch the MVs, or care about the societal impact their idols try to make?

  • if anything it’s non fans projecting on them… acting like bp have no desire to continue the group as if they don’t talk about wanting to stay as bp AND do solo activities

  • Not all of Twice are JYP?!
