K-pop vs scandals

broke4albums8 nov 2026

What do yall think about scandals? For example BTS and Chris Brown scandal. I honestly really like BTS and especially their songs but I don't want to support some who posted a photo with Chris Brown. Of course they are adults and they have their oben choice, etc. But a huge amount of their fanbase are women. Considering the fact what Brown did, I don't want to listen to their music even though they have huge bangers. (I'm not trying to be petty I would do the same with every group)

Honestly most scandals to me are off-putting not necessarily because of what the idol did (since sometimes it’s genuinely just not knowing or them being forced to do it) but more so fanbases defending it; the biggest example for me personally is Twices Chaeyoung, what she did was bad but I feel like if there was an apology and change I wouldnt feel this weird towards her but her fans defending her to such an intense point just always gives me a weird feeling, I usually like Onces but that was just …

I dont care. Unless its something they personally do/is illegal. As for BTS we dont know what happened its more likely they were made to take the picture. Theyre friends with usher and were invited its not like it was a CB concert and even then almost every group has in some way promoted CB. Others have gone to concerts, done covers or dance challenges ect. Most people that pretend to care are just hypocrites

i don’t really care about scandals, tbh, unless it’s obviously reallyyyy bad. like, i don’t stan, but bts listening to chris brown isn’t a big deal to me. hell, i listen to him, so it would be hypocritical of me to be mad… idk, i guess it depends?

I continue listening to them and enjoying them. K-pop artists all over the world speak freely about CB and how much they adore him even after the controversies. Going to a show doesn't make you a supporter or an aggressor; if that were true, what are the women who support CB at his solo shows? His fanbase is like 90% women; we can't be hypocritical when we do the same things.

as an elvis i really do try to move on from the bullying scandal. but it’s just so hard going into aoa comment sections and seeing the genuinely vile things people say or have said about jimin and mina

This is a really interesting question because some scandals i really dislike the artist or group for what they do but others i'm not too bothered. For this one i understand the problem with the photos and being in attendance at the concert but it doesnt bother me that much tbh. A lot of people still support Chris Brown. I for one barely know the guy 😅
