If female idols dated western male celebrities, would fans be less critical than with koreans?

Let's say I date Karina, would fans be less critical??

For whatever reason, Korean celebrities prefer to date other Koreans. I do not know why.

It’s common sense that it should be language barrier if it’s non korean…

The same idiotic fans will have the same amount of conniption fits.

Because "dating equals scandals" in their eyes.

hahaha...... really? Amazing, people prefer to date others from the same contry speaking the same langauge? Really a big mysterium this one.

I think the reaction would be the same. Just look at Lisa from BP.

Karina and Timothée would make a cute power couple

Quote from tetetete

Timothee's fans were having a stroke over him dating kendall Jenner I don't think karina would be spared

I didn't even know he had fans like that lol

Because her fans think he’s into New York girls wearing tote bags

And to answer to the question. No because k-pop fans are deranged and Karina has one of the worst solo fanbase.

You'd definitely see some racism come out. Especially if they weren't a white dude or of Korean ancestry.

I mean the difference between Karina and Kylie is like the difference between a bottle of Chateau d'Yquem and a bottle of rancid, low quality vinegar.

So yeah, can understand why his fans were upset.

To answer Op question, I was thinking about this myself recently. I think in Korea the reaction would be mixed. Korean fans would LOVE the "validation" from the west that would come from a Korean idol dating a foreigner, but I think certain elements of the fanbase would absolutely meltdown in a racist fit. I especially see male fans of a a female idol going nuclear.

I also think the international reaction would be interesting to see, and depending on the pairing could be kind of ugly.

It wouldn't make any difference. If anything it would just introduce a racist element from both fandoms.

Not all Korean celebrities are Koreans.

Dunno.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

he just looks like he got plucked from the 1800s so everyone assumes he's some kind of proper gentleman

Well... I watched Dune 2, and I didn't find him that hot. (I found bald Austin Butler hotter)

but different strokes for different blokes.

Firstly anyone should deserve better than Timothee
