Is all the hate for K-pop necessary?

On February 4, Teen Vogue posted a link to their article about HyunA and Dawn’s engagement. They obviously meant well, their followers and many other users that interacted with the tweet came off as insensitive, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic as well as racist among many other things. As soon as the post was online, fans of K-pop spotted locals interacting with the Tweet with insensitive reactions. One user tweeted, “While this post is a little insensitive to single people trying to find someone, I applaud @TeenVogue for celebrating two woman getting married!” calling Dawn a woman; trying to effeminate male K-pop idols, a trend that many haters use to instigate fans of K-pop.

While the Teen Vogue post did not intend any harm to HyunA and Dawn, the replies section of Teen Vogue’s Twitter handle seemed to be a bad place for fans of K-pop. Fans who replied to the tweet with their reactions to the news were met by one toxic user who kept calling out fans with comments like, “You don't even know wo they are.” The said user also made a highly misinformed comment saying, “This article should have stayed in Korea as no one outside of Korea knows who these nobodies are,” proving why fans of K-pop are rightfully defensive for their faves.

Another homophobic user said, “It's great to see gay marriage become more accepted in Korea.” One more toxic user said, “It looks like they both are into the crack is what it looks like. But srsly I’m not joking or purposefully being disrespectful. They look like if my children looked like that I’d be stressed TF out.”

Fans clap back at haters

While the Tweet was met with a lot of positive reactions from K-pop fans, fans of HyunA and Dawn did not hold back when it came to showing the haters why no one messes with K-pop stans. As one hater asked, “Who the hell cares (about the engagement)? one fan responded saying, “You apparently.” Another fan responded to the user who was continually spamming the post with hate saying, “They have over 1,8 million monthly listeners on Spotify and koreans don’t use Spotify hmmm.” Another fan said, “Why are you under everyones replies to this tweet, go touch grass.”

One user asked who HyunA and Dawn were despite it being mentioned in the article itself to which a fan responded saying, “Dawn and hyuna, says it right in the title.” One fan clapped back at a toxic user by saying, “But see girl they r not ur children so, what about.... minding your own business?” One fan also responded to another toxic user saying, “It's great to see blind people being able to use social media. Technology has become so advanced.”
