    As someone who has a twt Stan acc, I am so shocked to see literally every fandom fighting with each other. There's literally fanwars every day. It's so different from the western artist Stan accs (I used to be on the directioner side of Stan twt till last year). K-pop stans on twitter will not let another group,they don't ult, breathe. Unnecessarily hating groups and idols is so normalised, it's low-key concerning.

It's even weirder when people will bring up another group when it has nothing to do with what the topic of discussion was, or even use someone else's success to bring down other artists :/ I'm someone who wants to show support to as many groups as possible and I hate to see people fighting for no reason

    The thing that I find most frustrating about Twitter isn't the random fights between other fandoms or the mean tweets towards the groups I stan but it's the disappointment and sometimes disgust I feel about the main fandoms I'm a part of. There's nothing worse than sometimes feeling that you're part of a toxic fandom but then of course I get off Twitter and realize what a vacuum it really is and that it's just where the vocal minority live. I try to go on there as little as possible

    It makes me laugh how I used to get made fun of for liking kpop before it was popular and blew up massive in the US (because of new gen groups like BTS and BlackPink). Personally I grew up with groups like SHINee, 2Ne1, 2pm, SNSD, BigBang, Sistar, and SUPER JUNIOR. Kpop back then used to be fun/carefree, made you feel warm when listening to its, and fandoms used to get along. Kpop today has become so generic and toxic with the music all sounding the same (more autotune and mainly hiphop with bland lyrics) and people bandwagoning onto the genre and ridiculously arguing over which group is better and sending death threats to each others. It’s really made me veer away from kpop because it’s not what it used to be and the communities are no longer the same. Shame.

      I think you can still find people that are just there to enjoy everything. The industry itself is toxic towards idols and started to get backlash for mistreatment just few years ago. I think this made a bigger tension in the community as a whole. As a group we're discovering what's right, wrong and what is just morally grey.
      I got into kpop about the same time that you did. There are just too many rookie groups debuting every year, you can't say it all sounds the same cause that's just untrue. What gets famous and continues on is another story. It's called "pop" for a reason. There's a formula and people like to know what to expect.

The Kpop industry is very toxic and full of issues. 1st&2nd gen of kpop had big physical fights, openly liking more than one kpop group was rare and sort of discouraged bc ppl would accuse you of not being loyal and attack you for it. But at the same time, those who liked kpop in countries where it wasnt common to, often seemed to band together in the fact that they both like this thing that no one else around them gets, which is a feeling that is pretty much completely lost now. Besides that you got apps like twitter now, that are full of toxic ppl abusing the anonymity the internet gives them and seasangs that are still and might forever be a thing

    This may just be me, but when I first got into Kpop, back in the early 2010s, I didn't notice as much drama online as I see now. I mean, I could be wrong since I stopped using twitter around the same time, and Instagram and Facebook soon after, but honestly I don't remember a time when fans were as ruthless and brutal as they are now. Like, there were fans who were rude and whatnot towards other groups and fandoms but, if I'm remembering correctly, they were never as mean as they are now. I never understood why some people would decide that sending hate to groups or fans instead of just ignoring them. If you don't like someone you don't obsess over them and talk horrible things about them, you move on with your life and support who you want to support. I swear some haters obsess over groups and fandoms they hate to the point where honestly others could honestly confuse them as fans. For example, is someone who says they hate BTS but know everything about them and watch their vlives and whatnot and know their tour schedules and basically everything about them, really a hater or do they just hate that they are actually fans and really like them? Like I've been a huge fan of Shinee for many many years but I'm still finding out new things about them.

Like I liked her too, but I didn't think it would have been appropriate for me to call myself a fan since I didn't actively seek her music out. I really got into kpop after Shinee debuted. I remember there were some toxic fans, mainly the ones who would send nasty horrible gifts [like letters written in period blood, or tainted drinks that could be deadly] but it was super rare and they often got dealt with quickly. Nowadays it's like 10 times worse and whole ass groups of people being toxic. I also really hate the energy in a lot of kpop communities too where fans become toxic towards others who aren't really fans of the same groups. I also hate that people don't really let artists be themselves and have a life. Like you constantly see/hear people calling idols fat or too skinny, and if they're seen with anyone of the opposite gender nasty rumours spread, or just stupid bs like that. It's like they feel as if they own these idols and sometimes I just want to smack those "fans".

    What I don't like, is that alot of k-stans will attack the GROUP for something instead of attacking the COMPANY that they are contdacted under. Most groups have no control over their clothes, or hair or even makeup, that's all the stylists job. Groups that aren't more self-composing like Seventeen or Stray kids don't have control over their songs or the choregrophy they are given. They may have little say, but it usually is little. The CEO is the one who names groups usually as well.
    It just bothers me to see Idols get backlash for stuff that they really have no control over.

    This show us that kpop stans (especially on twitter) are ready to hate for the most innocent things. It's like when they're attacking groups when they use a similar outfits, haircolr or aesthetic as other groups. Like kpop stans twt really need to stop gatekeeping everything, like it's not that deep.
    Plus, with all the creation of fab accounts, we may wonder if fans are their for talent/music or only for visual.
    Because how can you create a fan account without knowing any talents/abilities of the idol ? You don't even know what the idol is capable of :/....
    And it's not only with fake groups. We see this we new groups too, with fan accounts getting created after teaser pictures have been revealed to the public.
    Like for trainees who were known before (ex smrookies, trainees from survival show or trainees who got videos available on internet like Shotaro, AleXa etc...) I understand why fans expect their debut because we know what they are capable of, but when you only got a pretty pictures what are you stanning ? Their visuals ?
    Like kpop should be about fun and music but fan love to make it toxic af by hating on idols, only caring about record and starting fanwars on every occasions possible :/ The hate is everywhere on social media but for twitter the bar is in hell.

    Let me explain...
    Having a same or even similar name (or alike like logo) to an already established brand is illegal in most (if not, all) territories around the world because of copyright and especially trademarks.
    That's why you will not *probably* see SM Entertainment branching out to the Philippines because they already have SM Prime.
    Also, that's why you see brands that are the same but are called differently across the world like Tide, that chocolate bar (forgot what it's called), Selecta, etc.

    Remember the Red Velvet issue, where there was also a band from this country where their name is the same and got requested RV (kpop) to either change their name or not promote in that country at all?
    That's all happened because of trademark and copyright.
    (Spoiler alert: they came to the conclusion of letting each other promote under the same name)

      Actually you can't trademark really generic words ...and GFRIEND is a really generic name ( especially in korean the name legitimately means girlfriend so you can't trademark that ). While you can trademark logos ( bts did it for their one, SVT i think did it for their one too) , you have to trademark it in its entirety...if a part of your logo is a really generic thing like a heart that means the heart itself wont't be protected under copyright law and other groups can use it legally. That's why for example Kim Kardashian could not copyright the word KIMONO for her brand and Kylie Jenner could not copyright KYLIE .
      Also the thing with "It's the same name then it's copyright issue " is in most cases straight up bs caused by people not understanding the law. First of all, the trademark is protected in the country/ countries you fill the trademark for (there are exceptions for huge brands such as cocoa cola). So two local brands with the same name can be protected under trademark laws in their own countries. There's also the thing of the trademark being filled for specific industries. In your example Red Velvet can be used by both the group and the other company without issue because they belong to different industries (also Red Velvet as a name is not falling under a possible copyright claim since it is a very generic one).

If they're located on only one social media i keep my eye on it for sometime before confirming if it's real or not. Plus news from the company is rather helpful to confirm new groups too

    I just want to point out that the action of buddies were justified on this. Naming the group 6irlfriend is unfair practice. It causes confusion to the group Gfriend. Even the copyright in Korea mentioned that copyrighting a name close to the name of an already existing popular group will not be permitted in law (not verbatim). This is in reference to SouMu’s claims on copyright of Gfriend’s name. The most I would agree is people creating fake account to support unknown members of that group. But calling buddies’ action and call for a takedown or change in name should not be viewed as toxic. The example given was not even a toxic comment at all. Just saying. Now if there were toxic comments from buddies then, I don’t know. I’m only b reacting b to the example in this video.

    I will never understand why pre-debut fans even exist tbh. I still remember back in 2019 when Yeonjun was the first TXT member to be shown, there were SO MANY armys who turned their fanpages for BTS into TXT fanpages. Like they didn‘t even know how they sing, if they perform well, if they will even like the debut song???
    Is it really that hard to just wait until a group debuts? K-pop stans get mad when others say that we are stupid and believe everything but in the end it‘s kinda true. The k-pop fandom have become a really toxic place at this point and it makes me sad. I‘m an army/kpop stan from 2017 and 2018/19 was definitely the best 2 years.
