I never understand the concept of glamorizing institutionalized achievement in kpop

I get that people feel happy when their biases do well. The feeling of the first win, the recognition, going from nugu to stardom, etc. But then, once the achievements are repeated, expected and consistent, becoming institutionalized, I don’t see any real satisfaction a fan can get from it. Not one fucking cent from my biases achievements is going into my pocket. How exactly propagandizing an already rich person becoming richer supposed to put a smile on my face when people, especially non-Asian POCs, are struggling more every day. “Bought a 50-story luxury apartment in cash”. Okay. That’s their achievement. Let them enjoy it. But as a fan I don’t see why I’m supposed to celebrate that

idk I enjoy watching BTS fuck up the western pop music scene tbh

They are quite insulated from each other. When you go out in the skreets of a typical America city you will hear no one blaring out BTS songs

Pokémon was huge some decades ago but it didn’t fuck up the mainstream, just added more to the multicultural pot
