Popular topic : Do fans live too vicariously through their favorite idols/groups?

Like the amount of bragging and bashing...

some people swear they make the same amount of money or have won the same amount of awards

that kpop music taste equates to intellectual properties and that they somehow have a higher IQ

or when they try to use " flop " as a personal insult when being condescending...

like when you look at it at the end of the day..

do you tell your boss you stan such and such and suddenly expect a raise
or

do you tell your professor you stan such and such and automatically earn a whole degree or A

or
do you think you automatically consume the essence of your idols talents/skills

if you ask me, it's a bit silly how people take an idol's success and act like they're suddenly a superior human being
nonetheless, I think you can be happy for a group's success and proud... just don't go acting all crazy with it

yep plenty of them do which is exactly what the companies want

Mhm, when the vicarious obsession rises, so do their bank accounts. It's a pretty evil but smart tactic.
