Do you think you fit the stereotype of a kpop fan?

No, I don’t think so. The main stereotype is that kpop fans are unattractive teenagers. Well firstly, I’m not a teenager. Secondly, I think I’m pretty hot so

what are the stereotypes?

No. I don’t consider myself obsessive, toxic or delusional so I don’t fit the mould. I am more of a silent casual fan who enjoys my bias groups without going apeshit about them. Plus I’m in a rare category by being a mature age fan, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Well I am def not toxic.

Not at all

I care at some point about the hate my faves get so majority of the time I do"protect" them online knowing full well they will never see the fights kkkk

I'm not a teenager neither do I have traumas.

I'm pretty.

I'm intelligent enough to not make racist jokes (which is one of the main complaints people have against Kpop fans as racist jokes seem funny to them and it is still a popular thing )

I'm a chill/funny person irl and i have friends

I'm not obsessed with Kpop visuals as i have crushes of almost all nationalities kkkkkk

I fit the stereotype of an uncle fan. I'm old, straight, single, and male. It's been like a year since i went on a date (basically living like a hermit due to Covid), although i have one coming up soon wish me luck lol. I never watch BG content, only listen to their songs, while i binge watch GG content and stan GGs for their personalities/visuals/team chemistry and not even necessarily for their music.

I dont really follow charts though, dont really care about em, so that's good i guess.

The main stereotype is that kpop fans are obsessed teenage girls. I'm none of that lol, all opposite in fact

I hope not

alot of people say kpop stans dox alot but i don't think ive seen one person dox anyone and i havent either, i also am not toxic

who are your favourite's OP

I need to insult them

If you're a male kpop fan, you're a creepy man that can't get a gf.

-too sensitive, can't talk jokes or any form of criticism

-only likes kpop because idols are attractive

Not creepy, girls likes me, even have a crush on me

Not sensitive, I always joke about my faves, sometimes criticize

Yes and no

Im below 25. Im okay looking, not fat (below 50kg). I dont go crazy over KPOP. I can take a joke. I couldnt care less about their visuals. Who am I to judge their visuals. They are all definitely more good looking than me. A clown would judge idols looks.

No.

I'm not a teenager and I don't want to date my faves. I'm here for a different flavor of pop music and great performances with skillful performances. Creativity at its best.

I don't understand how akgaes even exist. I like Kpop groups because of their teamwork in their performances and how each members would have different charm. That's why I never really have a bias or ultimate bias. Yes, maybe sometimes I get to know a group because of one member and I would follow that member at first, but once I get to know everyone I always end up liking everyone. But if I can't like everyone in the group, then I don't see myself continue following that group in the future.

I doubt it.

I’m pushing 40, have been married for (*counts*) twelve years, my husband is almost as much of an ARMY as I am. I’m not going to comment on whether or not I am attractive as that is daft and entirely subjective. I am extremely highly-educated (I know many other k-pop fans are, but I am also aware that some people find this to be a weird dichotomy). I live in a veeeeeery white upper middle-class suburban small English town with virtually no Asian representation around. I listen to a hugely diverse range of music, and always have. I am in an Opera company. blah blah. If you wanted, you could suggest that the fact I don’t have kids means that I have areas lacking in my life and seek to fill them, but that would be a pretty misogynistic view IMO.

There are, of course, as in any fandom, going to be people that fit the stereotypical viewpoint, but categorising a MASSIVE number of people like that is lazy at best, and irritatingly superior.

I'm a male bg stan which is probably not the first thing that people picture when they think of a male kpop stan

Quote from mynameiswho

If you're a female kpop fan, you're a teenager with low self esteem issues and can't get a bf.

If you're a male kpop fan, you're a creepy man that can't get a gf.

Stereotypes for everyone:

-too sensitive, can't talk jokes or any form of criticism

-koreoboos

-only likes kpop because idols are attractive

There's lots of stereotypes out there but these are the ones I hear on a regular basis.

Well,

I am not creepy and I got a GF... So guess what I am not like others then

I was tempted to use my face as my profile pic but I know AKP can’t handle my beauty

no, I am not obsessed with them I don't vote or waste my time streaming MVs. And the only idols I find hot are Yunho jinyoung Jaehyun and mingyu that's it.

.

Yes, I want my faves to date and I will never boycott them just because they're dating ( even if there dating BP members😁), and their sexual orientation doesn't matter to me one bit.

And, who cares if one of my faves is secretly married? Will still fully support.

Probably for chart I really enjoy looking at the chart and reading analysis especially from the digital threads.

The rest I'm not really I'm just a casual kpop fan and I dont really engage with the fandom or haters.

Kpops stans think they're always right. But Im glad I know I'm not perfect

Oh I forgot to add this :)

My only sadness will come the day they disband

hmmm sometimes. it's only how I appear at first glance. I do wear a lot of kpop merch.

I'm not toxic or obsessive though. I just like to talk about my faves a lot, I'm sure lots of people can relate

Quote from mynameiswho

I'm keeping that a secret for your safety

well mine include in no specific order

twice

bp

rv

itzy

gidle

izone

aespa

any of them match????

Maybe the stereotype that I will defend my faves, but only to a point. If you're just straight up bashing with no intent of stopping, I'll give up and let you be angry.

Other than that, if you saw me in public, you'd probably never be able to guess.
