I think Korean culture is really rooted with "resentment", "grudge" and "sorrow". I have been reading this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural) and it says:
Han is derived from the Chinese character 恨, which means resentment, hatred, or regret.
Definitions and characteristics of han are highly subjective. According to the Translation Journal, "Han is frequently translated as sorrow, spite, rancor, regret, resentment or grief, among many other attempts to explain a concept that has no English equivalent."[
- Kim Yol-kyu defined han as "the collective trauma and the memories of sufferings imposed upon [the Korean people] in the name of oppression over the course of the nation's five thousand-odd years of history".[5] Kim said that the meaning of han is ambiguous.[6] Kim Yol-kyu provided examples of stories, poems, and songs in which some form of han is depicted.[6]
- The minjung theologian Suh Nam-dong described han as "a feeling of unresolved resentment against injustices suffered, a sense of helplessness because of the overwhelming odds against one, a feeling of acute pain in one's guts and bowels, making the whole body writhe and squirm, and an obstinate urge to take revenge and to right the wrong—all these combined".[7]
- Jon Huer describes han as a generational feeling of "having been 'wronged' by a superior agent", such as fate or the government; he says that the accumulated han in Korea is enormous because of a long history of suffering from invasion, poverty, and international indifference.[8]
Psychology of Korean HanSooner or later, most foreigners learn something about ``han," the peculiar cultural product that explains much of ``Korean-ness," especially as the source of…m.koreatimes.co.krGenerally speaking, han (or won-han) is the idea that some injustice has been done to oneself. The injustice could be inflicted on the Korean people by a foreign power, on employees by their employer, on citizens by their government, on a daughter-in-law by her mother-in-law, on a wife by her husband, on a poor person by his rich neighbor ― anything that is perpetrated on a person or a group that is permanently imprinted as injustice or unfairness.
Virtually all of Korea's institutions and persons are under the powerful influence of han. Virtually all of Koreans have a deep-seated sense of grief and grievance that they have been wronged by some very powerful agents of injustice.
I mentioned this, because this mentality of being victimized is so predominant in Korean culture and I think that's the reason why "Eunsoo" cannot move on. She felt that she was wronged by Garam in the past, and seeing that she's now debuted in a large company, felt so wrong for her. I think that's why many Koreans do this witchhunt online, for them an "aggressor" whether your a minor, or Japanese government (Japan occupation of Korea), or anything that hurt them, should be punished .

Edit:
My thread that got removed:
1. Saying that Jennie is free to date anyone she's a single woman and we should not shame any kpop idol who date
2. Before their official debut that Kazuha is not the number 1 visual of LSF.. (it seems that discussing visual of a group is banned from r/kpopunpopularopinions
-
Specifically, r/unpopularkpopopinions and r/kpopthoughts.. I got my threads removed when a bunch of people reported me to mods. The threads I posted is the usual stuff one can found in allkpop and I don't think they are really controversial. It seems to me that reddit has this particular hive mind that downvote opinions that is contrary to them..

Sakura's dancing has greatly improved! But there's still room for improvement for her vocals, they're a bit nasal and weak. Hopefully, it will get better in time.

Ok. We reached Melon top 10. I can now sleep peacefully

Stupid Question: In Korean legal system, is there a punishment for bullying your classmate when you're 12 years old and it's been 4 years ago? This issue has exploded, but there's no explanation of legal ramifications of the case. What would be the legal end of this?
-
Jennie dating handsome, popular idols consecutively is honestly a queen behavior.. I wish I could be that queen
-
Stupid question for girls.. If you have a bf who smokes a lot, do you kiss him?
-
-
I just want to move on.. If Garam's removal would be the catalyst for the group to become successful and accepted in SK, then I would accept OT5. The Garam issue had been eclipsing their debut promotions
-
If I'm a beautiful and desirable kpop idol, I would date a lot of handsome men, too.. Life's not fair coz I'm an ugly as hell

Arguably, these two 4th gen groups have their visuals stacked. But whom do you prefer? The rich chaebol heiress vibe of IVE or the runway model vibe of Le Sserafim?

We should always see different side of things. I have seen the video and I don't see anything any inappropriate. In fact, I am guilty of being always distracted and using my phones while walking and sometimes the camera app will pop out. The man was also surprised when the camera flash hits his face and he immediately left. I believe it's all a misunderstanding.
