It’s stupid that idols get hate for following other people, like V, when he followed Jennie and T.O.P. accidentally, they both got so much hate! If they’re friends then they should be able, like Jennie and Nayeon are friends, it would be fun for them to follow each other!
i feel like if nayeon and jennie followed each other it wouldn't be a problem, but armys are really toxic and try to control bts
I don't think it was an accident that V followed Jennie. I do think they are, or were, dating.
G DRAGON KING ,
@@cherryaenue Jennie doesn't even follow her group members dude 😂
@@cherryaenue didn't blinks called v as stalker and the hate jennie got is mainly from ot3 blinks and some toxic armies CAN YOU PEOPLE STOP JUDGING WHOLE 50MILLION+ FANBASE BASED ON SOME STUPID PEOPLE
Only in kpop is this made to be such a big deal, idols afraid to interact & follow each other on social media this is mainly due to fanwars and the toxic, jealous fans that exist. Also, they probably worry they will lose their fans support. The hate V got for following T.O.P & Jennie, whether intentionally or accidentally, it doesn't matter and then apologising for it was just ridiculous. Idols be free to follow who the hell they want. Fans know your limits and boundaries, you don't own or control their lives, who they associate with is never your business.
Nice to read some common sense, this should be top comment.
I agree. However I think they have a separate social media acc. I know Rose have her personal TikTok acc that she doesn't publish to public.
honestly it’s the same for celebs though. like Olivia rodrigo for example, she unfollowed everyone after she became famous.
@@NurmaBP The thing is, they shouldn't have to have a personal account where they have to hide who they follow. They should be allowed to do it publicly with no fear of getting backlash for having friends or following artist they like and support
@@henloworld514 But was she hated for following those people in the first place? If not, it isn't the same
I wish all Kpop idols should come together and just follow a bunch of other people one day. If everyone is doing it would be less likely to get hat from people and would help desensitize this toxic situation
True
Terms and conditions applied for DOUBLE STANDARD GROUPS like bts and blackpink
literally it would be vibesss
I wish
The fans who were sad TOP didn't die with his previous suicide attempt was disgusting.
I miss the time when following was something fans enjoyed.
i'm new to kpop and all this (unwarranted) jealousy and hate is absolutely ridiculous and is one of the things why i couldn't get into it earlier. it's very unhealthy that young fans make such an insanely big deal out of minor actions, idols really need to watch their every move to not upset their or another group's fans. netizens should keep in mind that idols are adults with their own free will, not "babies" or whatever they call them. just let them live ffs
honestly i really hope a time will come where kpop idols can live
we need to normalise things idols do.. please !
We should also normalize not calling them idols..the reason why stuff like this happen is because fans idolize them so much and idol also means image or representation of God some fans think of them as Gods that are perfect but they're just humans. Maybe it's just me who thinks like this tho
Welcome to kpop world
Like strict dieting 😍😍😍😍
@@xelirsaart9761 yeah calling them artist is way better
Bruhhhh, idols poop and love and cry and everything we else commoners do, people shouldn't make a big deal of an Instagram follow. It's plain stupid and whoever even thinks bad of the whole situation is the one that's messed up and nasty
I know they have hidden follows because Yuqi once accidentally friended another idol outside her group on her main follows, only to realize what she done an hour later and suddenly that person was gone. I think I heard something similar with Lisa. You know a lot of them are in contact privately because occasionally things will slip where you'll learn that they are in a group chat or talking on the phone with each other. Plus randomly you'll have pairings you never thought of suddenly spotted hanging out in public. So I think a lot of idol friendships are hidden because of privacy, company rules, and brand deals.
The attack on Jennie when V followed her by mistake scared me so bad !! it’s make me wander what the fake fan will do when he have girlfriend or when he get married…so scary I hate the FAKE fan 💔💀
Yeah im scared for the idols too
Damn, I miss when k-pop idols could just follow each other, show their friendships, and no one would really bat an eye
Isn't that what normal celebrities around the world do? I'm from Scotland so I don't understand this culture around kpop to be honest. It's very... strange.
NCT was a humorous unit group whose members were all chaotic and free to express themselves. Finally, we all know their personalities. NCT is more than a diamond value outcome; I adore these guys, and NCTzens are hilarious like hell. LOL
Exactly, and I would add some other SM groups. Even though their company seems really strict, they are usually ones who are the ones who openly criticize and speak up about sasaengs, journalists, mistakes etc.
everyone talk about the hate jennie and top got because taehyung followed them by mistake but no one talks about the hate taehyung got for the same reason, people even brought up his grandma and family members and threatened them
Yes ☹️💔
I can't with this behavior,am army too but what delusional land do u have to be to harass tae or another idols bse he followed them....I wish idols would just collectively follow each other and make sure fans get used and normalize this....
Because Jennie was the most targeting
But Tae got very less hate compared to what jennie got ... idk about TOP
@@nayosingh0925 very less??? blinks sent death threats to his own family, his twt acc was flooded with hate just like his weverse, people called him a predator, a stalker, accused him of rape and signed petitions with thousands of signs to remove him from the industry
Opinions on why K-Pop idols may not follow each other on Instagram can vary. Some might suggest that it is due to agency restrictions or guidelines, as K-Pop agencies often heavily manage their artists' public image and social media presence. Others may point to the highly competitive nature of the K-Pop industry, with idols wanting to maintain a certain level of privacy and not publicly associate with their colleagues.
Some people might also speculate that the reason could be related to issues of trust and professionalism, with idols not wanting to mix their personal and professional lives on social media.
Ultimately, there could be a variety of reasons why K-Pop idols may not follow each other on Instagram, and it is up to each individual artist and their management to decide what is best for their career.
G DRAGON KING ,
Sorry for speculating, but was this made with ChatGPT? If not, the comment looks like it was lmao
Theres already too much cases when ppl u follow suddenly goes into scandal and got cancelled. They will assume if u follow them u also included (seungri). And also cases when idol too free to update on soc med fanbase can cause kisunderstanding and cancel u (t-ara twitter bully) so its safer to not doing anything at all. Rather than risking it all without much benefit to the user. Kpop agencies damage control also sucks. So its better to prevent than to heal
@@popsikern5848 just trying it out lmao
Are we gonna ignore the fact that the reason for half of ur mentioned reasons is undoubtedly SHIPPING!!!😬
I wish fans would grow up and realize that their idols are humans who needs friends outside their group. I wish idols would grow balls and follow whoever they want on social media. But this is just wishful thinking because in truth, some fans are toxic and petty minded while idols are too scared to lose their popularity so they let their fans dictate how to live their lives.
IU and BAEKHYUN one was so sweet nd cute. Its good that atleast 1 follow-up was accepted💙💙💙
Fans can’t seem to understand that idols are humans, not just some flesh and bones made to entertain you. Idols should be able to follow who they want when they want. Remember, idols are human, so treat them like humans not objects.
do yall really think they dont have other account that u dont know of
I have a feeling they do and not just them but even regular citizens do. They want to hide from certain people.
It sucks that idols can’t follow their friends in the industry 😕. I hope it changes one day.
This is exactly why people never see other groups interact with eachother.
The k-pop industry needs to wake up and start explodind the delusional bubbles these fans created in their heada and they're letting happen.
Most of these toxic behaviours are happening because the idols keep letting "fans" get away with it.
But in the end i honestly feel bad for them, cause i'm sure most of these behaviours have been conditioned into them from a VERY young age.
The problem is that companies continue to fuel this so called BF/GF fantasy with fans making them so delusional and toxic. These dirty tricks brings in huge profits for companies. A normal K-pop fan will buy one album while a delusional fan will buy an entire box of albums. This benefits the companies while it hurts idols mentally and socially.
I am dreaming of the day when the idols and the agencies won't be afraid anymore to tell to all those toxic fans to f*ck off.
Kpop industry has given too much importance to these " fans ", so now they call the shots, even if they don't represent the majority of the fans.
We, normal fans, must speak louder than them and shut them up. To show idols than they are not alone and that they can rely on us to protect them from the obsessive fans.
I hope the things will change one day...
"even though it's 2023 and the kpop community has progressed alot" has it? I guess in SOME aspects. Idk I feel like I remember back then, idols interacted a lot more than now...
Yes like snsd interactions with other male groups and bigbang collab with 2ne1, TROUBLEMAKER LIKE ?????
💀💀when i read this, the video comes to this part, lol!!
V : the app is so scary
more like these insane people are scary
True
Because although most fans are supportive, there are a few who are incredibly toxic, and would make trouble for the people their respective idol like. EVEN IF its just a case of friendship between artists, cheering eachother on, or some other platonic admiration or encouragement, THEY WILL ASSUME "SOMETHING (ROMANTIC) IS GOING ON", and send a barrage of hate that way. I say toxic because this is what toxic boyfriends/girlfriends/friends whatsoever DO. "ISOLATE. CONTROL. OWN." Some people just have VERY unhealthy parasocial-"lives". Its good they dont show anything. Remember how extreme some fans where when they used to see groups cheering for eachother before ? They pretty much stopped that too. Pity. I like seeing people cheer eachother on.
possible reason :
1) if some people see the idols follow each other and ESPECIALLY a male idol follows a female idol ( and vice versa) it will be like :
Oh thEy aRe dAtiNg. THeY ArE loVeRs
i literaly love when fandoms joke abt this kind of things, it gives me hope that there are still non-toxic fandoms in kpop
The only fandom who hate their idol for accidentally follow or other nonsense is Army and they never hate any other members they only harass and send d@ath threat to Taehyung and his family, they were calling him all the names under the sun when he followed one of Bigbang members because they call them criminals but supported and praise when Jimin collaborated one of them and Suga interviewed him, so that hypocrite fandom only harass Taehyung, they don’t support his solo work but act they own him, they don’t respect him and don’t treat him as individuals human who is free and can do whatever he wants like rest of the members, hope he leaves Hybe soon.
We be blaming their agencies but the problem is that they have some delulu fans, I remember Jin saying that he doesn’t have so many idol friends that he can chill with because other idol be feeling pressured and i felt that honestly…. I think some idol are jealous of each other and them not following each other is all because of their delulu fans…
Good thing there's still idols like Sunmi or JayB who follow hundreds of people.
i always thought it had to do with bussniess, like not following others because its a professional account
i was followed by momolands yeonwoo.. so i made sure to delete all my posts and post no stories so she wouldn’t notice (she did lol)
How chronically online do you have to be to notice a strangers following count change
If fans like that exists which idol would even dare to follow any other idol even if it is pure friendship 😔😔😔😔😔
Sometimes we might think that their agencies go hard on idols but the fact is that some fans are sadists pretending to be obsessed with idols, how bad is it for an idol to follow another idol!?? Social media is full of negative energy towards idols when they do something and it pretty s*cks
Trust me, everyone have 3 or 4 account for your own reasons
Pretty sure kpop idol have private account that public doesnt know and cant find it
Of course they didnt use their idol account to follow others idol account
Its will make a dating rumours scandal
It is sad that idols can’t have any freedom. Fans need to realize that opposite sex idols can just be close platonic friends. Does the opposite sex always have to be involved romantically with each other? No way... I hope fans support their favorites no matter what and let them live their lives happily as life is short.
Agree. There is literally no personal or creative freedom in the K-pop industry because in the industry, you are told what to do by your company and they decide what kind of person you are going to be.
I think it's good that they follow each other 👍
The REAL reason is there are 2 fandom that are so toxic that made the example so idols can avoid controversy. Only on K-pop there’s this.
I just can't believe these people
You call yourself FAN but can't respect your Idol's privacy
Following someone doesn't mean they are in relationship or collaborating
Sometimes it’s good still seeing them comment on others like how jihyo interacts on streams and other posts
Even if Tae's insta comments are closed that doesn't mean he got less hate than Jennie. The antis on Twitter dragged his grandmother and called him nasty names.Idk why here (2:20) only Jennie has been shown as a victim.
what did his grandma do omg 😭 kpop stans are crazy..
*(Im also a kpop stan but still…)*
Hell yeah you can see the way Army and Nctzens have diferently reacts to their member following from "mistake" other idols
I wish Taehyung kept following Jennie and T.O.P and even get followed back, that could've make a lot of change in kpop
I wish too
Jennie doesn't even follow her member's be serious
@@j.a9558 understand my point
Its really difficult to handle social media and live an idol life you have to take every step carefuly but i dont knkw why fans interfere in artist life seriously if they r true fans they should have to support them not talk bad about them its their life and choice so plz leave them alone
Kpop idols should be able to follow each other on instagram like I don’t see the big problem but I know some of their fans are toxic so ofc they’re not going to like their idols following each other… bcs they are gonna think they are dating / but it should be normal for K-pop idols to follow each other.
Why are so many Kpop "Fans" so obsessed w/ their idol, they are acting like their in a relationship with them
It shouldn’t even be our business if the idols decide to follow or unfollow someone. It’s THEIR account leave them alone.
I swear, kpop fans overthink and nitpick everything. Leave them alone, you’re invested I get it but stalking someone’s instagram follows is just weird. You need to learn parasocial relationships are extremely unhealthy and lead to poor mental health.
80% of BTS fans are so scary and toxic. If you are ARMY and haven’t yelled at anyone over BTS then you can join the healthy 20%. I’m really shocked how those people can turn their backs on their idol so fast. They want their idols to be able to have freedom to interact with other idols but get angry over an accidental button. Gosh.
still Army is considered as the most loyal and trustworthy fandom 😉
There are less solo fans of BTS but huge United Army fandom.
Omg like you know that they were armys ot7 and not solo stans of maknae line who's majority shady to the rest of the members ! Everyone becoming so moraly pure and acting like its just armys while the whole kpop community literally toxic as hell , atleast armys not even consider themselves as kpop fans !
One thing I love about army is that they support other armies but the toxic ones will lose loyalty when there are dating rumors
As a kpop fan apart of many fandoms.....I hate this culture of how idols can't even interact irl or award shows now they can't even just follow another person,it's toxic and unreasonable....it doesn't make sense......I am still sooo mad on how some weird as* (we don't claim such army's) harassed jennie and T.O.P......I don't get how peaple feel so entitled......idols are peaple,they deserve respect.....however some fake immature and delulu fans have not just the audacity but sheer ignorance of such peaple,embarrass the whole fandoms,sticking there nose in others business..... to create hate and fake sandals on some level is next delulu level of almost saseng behavior ......
Though many verified idols have visible following so it's still weird to not let other idols show their following
Toxic fans 😑
And then you have both official Stray Kids and Stray Kids Japan account following 3racha but 3racha not following any of those back. So it’s either because boomer Bang Chan is in charge, or Han who promptly forgot the password or Changbin who is the king of Ghostracha and haven’t logged into the account for few years now. Gotta love those guys 🤣
no cs this is true the f**king recommendation list of following acc is soo fricken tricky. the first time i tried to follow PARK jimin it didn't go as plan. I typed up jimin just jimin and i just followed the first jimin user name that popped up cs it was my first encounter with BTS let alone K-pop and since back then BTS didn't have any social media account that is on Instagram they didn't, so i just followed the first name and the name that had the verified badge and also bc i only knew them for their first name so i thought there was only one celeb named jimin but until i got a notification saying 'shinjimin' has posted i was sooo fricken excited cs i was new and i got to feel that feeling of living in the same moment as the updates are happening. Pressed on it was an ENTIRELY different person broo since i didn't know her and i wasn't interested in any other groups apart from BTS and Black pink i unfollowed but the funny thing is i didn't even know Black pink was Black pink if you know what i mean i just knew them through fan made Bangpink vids and fake subtitles so i just was drawn to them and thought everything was real until i realized that BTS and Black Pink are entirely different groups i didn't even know there were groups i thought they were just like soloist but in an actors and actresses way they collaborate with different ppl every time.
Fanwars are everywhere and last depends on Kpop's longevity.
I wish genuine fans we should not let toxic delulu ones get away wtith this, maaaan I wish idols would collectively just follow who they want, and it's should be normalized,not some scandal as if Its a crime......
Dating rumors are crazy between the KPOP fans.It seems like they have to be put on a list,so they know when and where to post on social media.Or sometimes is just breathing at the same time.
Yes,I said it.I needed to get this out of my chest!
I think Jennie gets more hate then V
if just following other idols on instagram is such a big fuss then how would the bond grow stronger??? k pop is a true lit when all the idol come along together . i hope people don't take everything in a toxic way nd ruin the brightness .
Can people calm down when an idol follows someone on insta people get so upset it’s not a big deal like If there was a reason v followed Jennie it’s none of our business. People don’t understand that idols are HUMANS too they make mistakes and all idols should do normal stuff that any other person would do without getting attacked by like a million people. A celebrity should not be scared to follow another celebrity
I kinda fell bad for Jennie and TOP cuss V is still new to Instagram so I also understand why he said is there anyway to get rid of people you may know section on I Instagram and I also find that really annoying as well because I also accidentally followed people that I haven’t spoken to for ages and then they message me saying did you follow me on accident I also wish you could turn that section off and V should be allowed to follow people on Instagram cuss it’s he’s account not there fans account it’s V’s account if he wants to follow people he should be able to
At some point fans are a gonna make their idols leave the industry altogether due their constant harshment based on who they follow on a social app.
Pentagon members unfollow each other all the time as a joke. It means absolutely nothing :)
I feel like if they all just followed a ton of other idols then it wouldn't be a big deal if they followed another one lol the problem is that they all barely follow anyone
for me it actually depend on the fans reaction when their idol followed soeone in insta... if the fans are not toxic and their idol followed some gg idol it will okay with them but the toxic fans will bash the gg idol. right?
bro nctzens are one of the chillest fandoms out there. like recently the pic of taeyong with his vape surfaced and most of them turned it into a joke. We all know how that went for Taehyung.
2:02 😂😂 true
I mean..... Ofc I would hate seeing my fav idols following someone who is good looking mostly if it's a female because I would get jealous and it would probably make me feel idk ugly of myself
But its still messed up how we call ourselves " fans" but we still hate on people when clearly what if it's an accident and we just start hating I think this is why some celebs say that they don't have any privacy in life since all their fans know everything it's creepy and freaking annoying 🥺
I hope theirs one day that kpop idols can follow each other without rumors that they are dating and all of that but just follow each other out of friendship 😭
Some fans need psychological help, how do you manage to blow such actions out of proportion? THIS is why idols don't follow each other because some fans OVERREACT, to the point where they think it is acceptable to be abusive in the nastiest way. Fans need to grow up!
SOME kpop fans are so horrible.. downright no life and they actually think they have a possibility of marrying their bias one day like wake up.
It’s popularize by CL and GD
Why are people hating on idols without knowing the true reasons🤬
My boo seulgi nim doesn't care she has 19 people she follows
JUST BC HE FOLLOWED TOP?!N CALLED TOP A ADDICT…WOW THATS JUST OVERBOARD..
Okay but hear me out, if they were allowed to follow all their friends like normal people, mayhaps... MAYBE... People wouldn't think that if a group member follows only their other members and one other person it means they're in love. Please let them them follow people they want to follow.
Also if the option to hide who they follow is really a thing... Do you really think they don't follow anyone? What would they do on Instagram then? Just sit and look at their own posts? Ridiculous.
6:20 Thats the Good fandoom hahahah
I have a Question?...y'all see how idols get harassed by some fans bse they interact with each other...I wonder ,since they get backlash for simply interacting,do idols back in there mind or low key ,wish they should not have such fans or be dictated who to talk and not talk to from strangers who claim to be fans????..bse there human too ,when this happens ...I wonder ,there obviously not fine with this,there gaslight and feel guilty abtvit yet, this should be normalized to interact with each other if they want to be friends not constantly walk on eggshells
How, how, HOWWWWWW do those people have so much time to see in a brief moment that someone has followed and unfollowed someone or liked and unliked some post? How? What are those people doing with their life?
Jesus, get an actual life and leave others alone!
Its so funny that fans say how much they love and stan an idol but when that idol followed shit, fans gonna send hate on their way. Reality check, you aint gonna end up with this idol, let them be happy and follow their future wifey/husbando you weirdos!
Well I have to say some problems are just caused by the most toxic fandoms(not saying all of them but a lot of fans in those fandoms are toxic asf). It’s painful to watch those as i am a part of those fandoms
Like news came that IU and Leejongsuk both like each other but still they don't follow each other but that's sure they view each other without following they must chat on Instagram without tell anyone know about it cus they already opened that they like each other so l think there is nothing to hide they must follow each other as they have already told us about their dating.
How do people even notice someone followed someone without like constantly looking at the IG page? Like if they followed and immediately unfollowed? I follow so many kpop artists on mine but I never am on it to really notice anything. Regardless, the way people react to kpop idols simply following each other is wild.
maybe there's an app that gives you updates on someone's activity on ig? there's no way they keep refreshing the page 24/7 lol
Kpop fans are so messy sometimes, also why the hell some of y’all worrying about who your idols follow??? It’s not your business and it’s really not that deep to get mad about who they follow, get it together PLEASE
These so called kpop fans are literally crybabies. They get upset when their idol interacts with other idols, follows them or even talks about them or their songs. It's so stupid and annoying. They sometimes forget that the people that they like (idols) are grown men and women They should be able to follow freely anyone They like and unfollow people whenever they want.
and then people have the audacity to bring up how fourth gen idols don't interact with anyone and are so bland, like have you seen people did with 3rd gen when they accidently followed someone on Instagram?
i get why idols dont follow idols from other groups, but some dont even follow their own groupmates. wonder why. is it really a big deal?
i can tottaly understand as why they dont follow eachother since v and jennie thing, like idk yall are crazy or sum? you shouldnt be commenting death threads to both idols, cuz they followed eachother on accident, like idk but its just so rude and weird to see fans always telling idols what to do, the behoiver is weird,anways i feel bad for the idols,but anways this new istagram feature allows them to express without the puplic seeing
The fact that IZ*ONE members following each other even though they disband just made my day💗
but there are idols who agreed to not follow anyone other than other members between themselves, such as gidle
It is not a big deal of idols follow other idols from other groups it is fine like I wish they could follow other idols without getting so much hate for it and idols can make mistake on social media like IG if it is new to them I wish idols can follow who they like and if they have a secret account where they follow lots of idols and even actors then that makes me happy they can follow other people but sad it would have to stay a secret
The real reason is because.......
Shit would hit the fan
What i love about K-POP is the love and appreciation idols have for their fans but that’s also what I absolutely hate about K-POP at the same time, idols give the fans too much control and let them act too comfortable that’s when the delusion and narcissism starts they begin to believe that they’re entitled to that idol and what he or she does with their every move and who they spend their time with.
Le sserafim got all members had ig officials account,i need Ive members,itzy,ateez,the boyz,skz and enhypen and all txt members are having too 🙏🙏we need them
the only idol who doesn't want social media till this day is Kyungsoo ahhahaah
DOYOUNG LIKING THE DIFFERENT BANG HAIRSTYLES POST IS FUNNY FOR NO REASON 😭😭😭
So called fans need to be held accountable for their vile comments. Some public shaming would help. The sense of entitlement is staggering! Fans need to be educated, "you don't own idols! Their private lives and choices are none of your damn business!" .
My chat is, why do people even keep track of who is following who? Kpop stans are crazy like bfr
them kids really be social media detectives. lmaooo so sad. they need to go touch grass
Even following someone's social media account can cause scandal. That shows how easily triggered fans are. Brilliant.
