kpop idols private life should stay private

But they could hide crimes thru their private life,no?

I couldn’t have put it any better myself.

Lucas controversy proves that how bitchy a fandom can become just to stain a group's name.

If tables were turned, they would have blamed us for spreading misandry.

Atleast Lucas is owning up his doings and Jalapeno got cancelled, the worst thing that can happen in idol's career.

Glad to know he’s a dick

I believe that most male idols are fuckboys anyway but yes, I agree that we don't have to hear about it as long as they are not doing anything illegal/ forcing anyone

People forget that idols are humans too and they can make mistakes. All of them work their ass off for half of their childhood and then everyday during their idol life just to fulfill their dreams and it can all go to shit just cuz some keyboard warriors thinks that way on some Korean forums or twitter.

ps. I'm not talking about serious stuff that can get you thrown in jail.

Funny I never see this narrative for female idols

When some shit happens in their private lives y’all want to drag them

And yes, sneaking around and dodging managers to fuck is also unprofessional

It's behaviour that's indirectly encouraged by the companies though. Idols are literally pseudo boyfriends and girlfriends for fans to fantasize about. Before Covid they could even pay to go and hold hands with them. If they didn't push the image that idols are there for fans 24/7, and think about nothing else, and aren't normally developed adults but pampered pets who need a constant supply of designer gifts to survive in this cruel world, these things wouldn't get out of control.

And Lucas was an idiot. It would have taken very little to keep his harem happy and content and he couldn't even reach that low bar. I don't agree that he has victims, but in this case I think a little bit of humbling might be deserved. Maybe he'll be nicer to future girlfriends/any current ones still hanging in there.

I agree?

and if you don't agree you're a weirdo

who gives a f*** which idol smoke ? which idols is dating ? or which idol is cheating with who ?

none of these things are crime, it's part of their private life and keeping this things private should be generalize

and stop defending people who feel untitle to violate other people private life just to get attention

because yes, if you're not exposing someone for a crime seeking for justice, you're intention are not noble and you're just come here to expose their private life you're only here to seek for attention and revenge

imagine spending your money/support on someone who cheat or bully

kpop stans are so delulu,they stan their favorite abusive oppa (cheating is not better than bullying)

when it comes to underage drinking/smoking/ cheating even bullying scandals, the first ones to cancel the idol are the ones who either did it themselves or the ones that are doing it at the same time

Yeah I definitely think the K-Pop image doesn't make anything better. But on the other hand, I also think peoples entitlement to celebrities' private lives and use of people's personal lives for "viewers" own entertainment goes further than that - look at the parallels to Western paparazzi culture for example. Paparazzi culture is completely messed up by pretty much all standards, but has been more or less accepted for decades for nothing but entertainment value. Especially in the 2000s in the West, paparazzi culture was accepted for giving people the dubious entertainment of seeing how messy celebrities look when checking their mail at 6 AM, of seeing people like Britney Spears break down in real time. Now you have the same thing (in Asian and Western entertainment) with a "moral" spin - while making fun of people's non-styled looks or mental breakdowns is now mostly looked down upon, now you get the pseudo-moral voyeurism - the "it's okay I'm here invading and mocking their private lives because they deserve it", but in the end it's just the same invasion of privacy for the sake of voyeurism and feeling superior.
