What is going on it looks almost all idols were bully or a gang member(and seriously speaking how can you be a gang member at the age of 14 and at the same time a trainee ? ) , Like i understand not all idols are nice well behaved people but come on , and why are these people coming out about only know when
Is everyone a bully know ?

South Korean schools may be f'ed up.

it's not that everyone's a bully, it's that some people are getting better and better at lying (and most of the time they are)

tbh I bet if we looked at teens from around world internet accounts on Twitter, FB etc I bet we'd see a lot of online bullying and general abuse too. So it's not like it's some special thing going on idols, it happens the world over, it's just kpop fans obviously focus on idols.
As for coming forward later well that could for a variety of reasons. No one listened before, fear, powerful people preventing them, finally snapped years later, revenge etc. I mean there was the whole metoo movement where women only came forward years later because Weinstein could literally have ruined their careers before they even began if they spoke up at the time.

Exactly it's the amount of idols that were bullies that shocks me the most

Yeah whenever I see this people coming out about being bullied by an idole i remember the me too movement, but i don't think it's fair to compare teenage idols to Harvey what he did was way worse , and I don't know

I didnt compared teens to Weinstein, you did. I gave a high profile example of situations why victims would speak up later since you asked why victims only just spoke up now

Being an idol is the perfect job for a bully.
Fans that will never hold you accountable and dedicate their lives to validating you
In way i think that to became an idole you need to step on a lot of people to climb tthe ladder
of course I'm not saying that all idoles are like that but it's jut a thought that I had -

tbh this isn't only a s korean thing. if you look at how teens this day and age use social media bullying has always been a problem. and if you have been a k-pop fan or k-drama fan or just into korean pop culture, etc you understand that school bullying has always been a big problem in s korea. that's why the whole school/workplace bullying is always a thing in k-dramas.
as for just idols being "outed" as bullys. it's probably not that much of a stretch to think that some idols have at one point been a bully. but i think when they choose to be a trainee if their company chooses to debut them they probably find a way to hide the idols bullying past or pay off victims to not out them. i agree with one of the people before me that said the victim probably was never listened to before and is really upset seeing their bully that made their life hell get successful so now they have a way to get "revenge."

True I bet a lot of bullying happens behind closed doors i don't buy this whole idea of group being friends with their members
100%
They spend years together competing against each other, having their every flaw compared and belittled in favor of each other. Legit survival of the fittest
But then they debut and suddenly they can't live without each other

Eh? Bullying happens everywhere. It's not exclusive to Korean school kids
