[theqoo] AMONG THE FOREIGN K-POP FANS, BARELY ANYONE ACTUALLY LIKES KOREA

bypannchoa January 12, 2026

No... even among overseas K-pop fans, there's a growing awareness of the "foreign fan savior complex" and anti-Korean sentiment, and more people are starting to call for self-reflection and self-correction. Honestly, among international K-pop fans, there aren't that many who genuinely like Korea"


"K-pop becomes popular worldwide -> it gets excessive, leading to the rise of Koreaboos, and Korea's r*c**m or toxic fandom culture gets dug up -> the discourse shifts into actively criticizing K-pop and Korea -> then the anti-Korean sentiment becomes too extreme, so people start pushing back against that too.

This kind of thesis–antithesis–synthesis cycle just keeps repeating, and since anti-Korean sentiment recently hit a peak, I also feel like one full cycle is coming to an end again"

I'm posting this because I agree... I feel like the forced-hate that Korea is getting and the anti-Korean sentiment is peaking overseas because of the Korean fandom culture and other things being spread around

original post: here

1. But they sure have a lot of interest in us

2. I f*cking hate i-roaches

3. K-pop i-roaches are especially like this. There are a lot of K-drama fans who love Korea htough

4. They are f*cking jobless. Nearly all the idols they like are Korean

5. They aren't called "i-roaches" for nothingㅋㅋ

6. I see more kids who actually like Korea though

7. I-roaches who are into K-pop or K-dramas have the biggest hate towards Korea

8. They only like Korean idols. They don't respect Korean culture and they would call us "Knetz" while hating on Korea, just like how Abe was a fan of Korean food

9. To be honest, even though our country sucks, it's way better than yours~ㅋㅋㅋ

10. But people who are into Japanese entertainment actually like Japan. Don't claim that you like Korea while hating on us
