[teens stories] AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DISLIKES KOREAN CELEBRITIES?

I'm so obsessed with Japan that I don't even want to see pretty Korean girls on Instagram, I only follow Japanese influencers and make sure my feed is filled with posts by Japanese people.

I try my best not to watch Korean YouTube videos or dramas either.

I don't even want to see celebrities like Jang Wonyoung or Karina, and as soon as I see keywords like "Yonsei University goddess" or "2000s beauties" I immediately scroll past them....

I've thought about why I act this way.

We speak the same language, were born and raised in the same society, and started from a similar starting line, but seeing how different we've become as adults constantly reminds me of that gap. It makes me compare myself to them all the time, which lowers my self-esteem.

But with Japanese or Chinese people, since they're foreigners living across the ocean, there's a sense of distance, both physically and culturally, and they don't feel like real-life competitors (?), so I can consume their content more comfortably.

It's like there's this huge "foreign" filter in between, so I naturally don't compare myself to them and can just relax and enjoy seeing how great these people, who have nothing to do with me, are.

Why are Jang Wonyoung and Karina your real-life rivalsㅋㅋ? The only thing you have in common with them is your nationality. Get a grip

But why is Japan always the spiritual home for losers? You're a loser too, yet you're gushing over Japanese celebrities and influencers. I kinda get the psychology of hating successful women your age who live in the same country, but there are plenty of other countries out there, why Japan of all places? I've seen so many people like you that I'm just curious

But if you end up living in another country, where do you think your inferiority complex will pop up next? Will you suddenly start thinking Korean celebrities are ok again?

Fact: Even if you don't like them, successful people will still live their successful lives anyway

This is why family background matters... If you'd grown up with normal parents, received a good education, and lived in a harmonious family environment, you wouldn't have turned into this bundle of inferiority complexes. In a way, it's kind of sad
