There is a false narrative that American celebs don’t get cancelled while their kpop counter parts do

This is very wrong. In fact I would say they are cancelled questioned ridiculed far more than kpop idols.

The difference lies in the industry itself and fan sentiments towards idols.

Kpop fans and their companies WANT their idols to be perfect and no this is not a Korean only thing even ifans feed into this. They want perfection from their idols. Perfection is at the very core of being an idol.

In a way it’s comparable to Disney Channel stars. And Disney stars while at disney are expected to behave and maintain an image similar to that of idols. And if you do questionable things disney won’t like it.

American celebs are questioned and cancelled all the time. (Hello tumblr and TikTok) It’s just the industry does not care. If a rock star was in a bullying attitude scandal that would have even staged because people love that image for rock stars. It’s the glamour sex drugs and rock and roll. Or whatever.

Kanye West can scream make America great again from the top of his lungs and he will still have fans. Even as people make a billion tiktoks ridiculing him. It even adds to his notoriety.

American artists fundamentally subscribe to the idea of all publicity is good publicity. This is vastly different from idols.

Koreans themselves love Chris brown if Chris brown was korean the dude would have had his ass whooped by knetz and cancelled.

Yesterday I was actually on Twitter and I saw EXO was like #2 on brand reputation and I like randomly asked if it was about Kris and like fifty ppl quoted me and asked to delete myself like I was anti. Me OF ALL PPL AN EXO ANTI. I have no problems associating exo with Kris. But the extent to which exol have gone to ‘protect’ and ‘clear’ exo’s name from this ‘scandal’ is insane. That’s how obsessed Kpop fans are about their idol’s image.

TLDR : Kpop idols get easily cancelled because perfection is what the INDUSTRY and THEIR FANS demand of them. It’s not because American or other industry celebs get a free pass.

First.

Interesting.

BTW,

I don't think it's right to associate Kris with EXO now.......

I don’t think it matters. The line about his EXOcution is so viral with a billion TikTok trying to erase EXO from his search right now is like

Well, they may be cancelled on Twitter and TikTok. But the GP doesn't really care.

And tbh we are all ‘GP’ for western celebs. Like I literally do not stan western celeb like what do you want me to do. How can I cancel ppl I don’t care about kekekeek

Did I make this post because I got cancelled on exol Twitter

Quote from omnimorphism

Are you an American celeb?

Reports of my fame are greatly exaggerated

No I got cancelled because I asked if exo topped that brand reputation crap because of Kris it was very silly

Quote from VioletParr

this is so fucking true it's insane. trust me i of all people have really seen some shit with american celebs because jfc some people are just insufferable

Billie Ellish got cancelled cuz she’s dating a guy and isn’t queer enough. When I saw this on TikTok I was LEGIT questioning everyone’s sanity.

Quote from quark12395

It's true. It's a combination of "all publicity is good publicity" and our willingness to give second chances.

Morgan Wallen got caught using the N word and lost a couple of appearances and people were saying he was done and completely over because of it. Now he's back with a new album! And using the incident to promote that album! What a shock!

It's not just Chris Brown. They love Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr too, but a Korean actor would never be given a second chance if he went to prison for drugs.

omg YES about RDJ. Korea is a huge market for Marvel and Disney and damn straight he would not have lasted a second if he was Korean.

Wait for DaBaby to come back in a year

It would be DaComeback

Quote from quark12395

He'll talk about how he's "learned from the experience". Happens every damn time.

And people LOVE such stories. The thing about the western audience is they LOVE a redemption story.

Also American celebs get cancelled for their political opinions ALL THE TIME. When Taylor swift openly campaigned for the Left the amount of backlash she received from the right dominant south where she has her roots was INSANE.

Ofc the opposite stories of Republican celebs getting cancelled is far more prevalent. Cuz ofc the media is leftist.

But anyway absolutely American celebs get called out for their political opinions.

i'm sorry for answering this on an anon. i don't wanna be cancelled by the whole forum for saying this.

but the reason could be that most americans look like bullies anyways. they are always full of themselves and never respectful. if nobodies are acting this way, i would not expect much from a celebrity. this is probably why knetz don't hold higher standards for western celebrities. with an addition of language and cultural barrier it's hard to understand what's going on with these controversies. we just see them as drama queens and leave.

Kekekekeke why would you get canceled by the whole forum.

Anyway your second part is very condescending. Most of the world is actually fully capable of understanding what’s happening. You don’t need PHD level English skills to know RDJ did drugs and Chris Brown is a domestic abuser. Lol.

Also koreans and East Asians who openly comment on skin color and weight are not bullies? Lol anyway not that I want to defend America in anyway but what I’ve observed from kboos and weebs is they like putting Korea and Japan on some pedestal of perfection.

I assure you Americans are not special in their stupidity. They are just more visible on social media for it.

Lololol I got this warning for typing k//oreaboos DACE7469-6E20-4ED5-AB77-665ABADFC0B2.jpeg

Is this because kboo is a competitive website or is it just seen as offensive kekeke

Quote from icyruios

This....is an actual name?

He’s the dude who was on the song Levitating with dua Lipa

Quote from icyruios

I don't know him

How did you escape levitating I thought that song will literally never go away kekekek

Quote from the101

Spot on, Tic. There's also a narrative in American pop culture that celebrities get into "scandals" to try and change their brand/narrative. So when Disney kids or teen stars grow up, they get into "scandals" to change to an adult image. Scandals help bridge the gap between "Victorious" and "Positions" for an artist.

Absolutely.

Having a scandal actively allowed them to break away from the Disney child star image.

Anyway people keep using American celebs as an example on this forum and I’m always like????? If kpop celebs could be insulted and ridiculed like western stars it would be pandemonium. Kek.
