A revelation of some sorts...

[eggchan]

Well actually I've spent quite a bit of time this morning chatting with remiixx over texts. We started talking about k-pop and.. the "state" that it's in right now, with all this shit everywhere.

I am gonna get this out in the open, although I'm sure most of you have noticed by my lack of posts abt it:

TBH, I am completely sick of k-pop at the moment. It's just too much drama and shit for me. I just want everyone to get along, but all this crap with 2PM, DBSK, Suju... ETC ETC (AKA EVERYTHING)

I AM SICK OF IT.

To the point where I don't even really want to care anymore. I still like DBSK, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to deal with it. I am sick of hearing netizens complain. I am sick of hearing about car accidents. I am sick of hearing about ANTI'S, and yes.. I will say it. I really think that K-pop and some of their fans are extremely superficial and I really don't want to deal with that. (I am not talking about any of you lovely ladies on my f-list-- more people I have encountered and most Korean fans (they scare the shit out of me)

I still like a lot of the music. I keep up to date about information and stuff (thanks omonatheydidnt), but I just...

I'm done.

If you are one of the people who friended me because I was in the k-pop fandom and you don't really want to hear me posting about Arashi anymore, then you are welcome to de-friend me.

Is there a chance I'll get back into the fandom? Sure, but I just want some sanity for a while.

Arashi and their fans make me sane. When I think about the Arashi fandom, I think, "Why can't the rest of the world get along like them?"

I didn't realize you were in the K-pop fandom back when I friended you, so I'm not leaving you now, haha. And I completely agree. All this drama in K-pop is just...ugh. It's reminiscent of some whiny 7th grade pre-teen. Frankly, I'm just too invested into K-Pop at this point. I still love Super Junior, SS501, DBSK, and whatnot way more than what's healthy, and at this point, it's too hard for me to back out.

It's the Korean media. Stupid Netizens are everywhere, but Korea treats them like they actually matter. And then Entertainment Agencies actually take them seriously instead of having the balls to ignore them and go on and do their own thing. Plus there's the fact that Korea doesn't have a healthy enough music industry to foster independent acts unless they're coming from Hongdae or some similar hipster Seoul district, so you get all these people fixating on a handful of idols.

...Actually, let me just say there's a lot of things wrong before this turns out into a rant. Argh, let me just say I wish I could be more into J-Pop. But the music just isn't my taste, and even when it comes to Arashi, I'm more into their Variety shows and Acting and that sort of thing.

yes I... was I guess ^_^; I was pretty hard into DBSK and got into Suju as well as SHINee.

But yes. I am reminded very much of 7th grade when I think about what's going on.

And it's ok to be more into Arashi shows! I have a friend who thinks they're music is too happy haha, but she really loved watching their shows.. (although lately I think I have possibly converted her by posting about Arashi all the time rofl)

Haha, I think that might actually be my issue, seeing how the only Arashi song I ever managed to really like was Truth. And idk, maybe I'm not listening to the right stuff, but Arashi music makes me think of ghei rainbows and sparkles and men in suits. Which is not a bad thing, of course xD

haha.. and that's the reason why I like their music XDD I think it definitely varies by person haha
