First of all, they are free to do everything overseas. On the other hand, if someone gets caught dating here, idols just get chewed to death and female idols will receive a ton of hate.
(Of course, there are exceptions, but these are rare)
Usually, the majority will sell off fake relationships with their fans. And during fansigns, fans would give baby accessories to adults and take pictures of them. As for the sasaengs;;; I don't need to say anything.
First of all, telling them to do aegyo as a whole is strange.
Moreover, if you put yourself in idols' shoes when people make RPS (coupling) of them, it's as if someone was putting you and your friend together to do 19+ stuffs. It's not normal
Also, if someone was taking all my micro expressions and making up rumors based on them, I would go crazy. Of course, the fans themselves would also donate and help on behalf of the idols which is a very good thingㅠㅠ
But there are just too many actions that are crossing the line. It's not as bad as Japan but there's a "factory-made" vibe to idols.
If I could nitpick, our idols and real singers (ex. Gummy, Hweesung, Sohyang) are all separated. If we're talking about "k-pop", people will for sure think about idols. So it's fine to compare them to foreign singers. I'm not hating on idols and the fans, I just think that the strange culture would disappear

I definitely think that aegyo is a strange part of the culture ㅇㅇ it's not like everyone wanted to do aegyo and it's not like all fans like aegyo either. So I really hate it when they force idols to do aegyo on broadcast, just why... There's no English equivalent word for "aegyo" so I was so shocked that it was just called as is in English

Our country took Japan's idol culture as a benchmark and took everything that was weird about the American pop culture... also, they have sasaeng and RPS overseas too. They would even read their fanfics on talkshowsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

RPS and making idols do aegyo are seriously the worst. It's also annoying how sexual terms are always tagged to female idols' names. Everyone just goes like "that's just part of the culture~" when talking about RPS in male idols' culture but seeing them justifying sexual harassment is seriously gross

I also find it so weird how we treat idols like gods here

Produce and Twitter are all ruined. Everyone is fine if a kid can't sing but when a male idol grows out his hair a little bit or gains 2-3 kg when on hiatus, everyone is losing their minds f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
