my take, short and sweet.
if we were to have a ballerina that started ballet at 4, stuck with it and eventually became renowned, what would we say? she worked hard, she did well.
likewise, let's say we had a ballerina that exhibited natural talent for dance, but did not begin training until 12 years of age. she becomes renowned, but she achieved her fame in an unconventional manner. we might laud her even more than the first person, because she went against odds and displayed resilience that makes her different from everyone else.
does that discount the fact that the first ballerina had to work hard, though? that the aches in her bones, the disfigurement in her feet...are meaningless? does that diminish her struggle? or do we simply acknowledge the facts that surround both incidents?
please note that the kpop industry, while 'manufactured', is extremely demanding. you could say that the idols compensate for their lack of 'natural affinity' by the force of sheer, hard work. fame is something given whether the people who get it properly deserve it or not. but you should never blame the recipients groundlessly.
i dislike bts fans because they think those boys can do no wrong. i will never dislike bts themselves, because they are human, they have worked hard, and i think they deserve their fame. any kpop group that's become famous? guess what i think - they deserve it. kpop's a business, marketing strategies and money is what makes or breaks a group. i also really hate when people say 'idc if my opinion gets hate lol'. you're already taking a bullheaded stance where you're the only right one, and you're depriving yourself of the ability to think critically. look at things from all sides before you give an opinion, else you'll just look ignorant. your controversial opinion has more sway than you might believe. there's a snowball effect inherent in all of this, so use your platforms wisely.
that's it.
