a sort of virtual, neo-romantic exaltation of beauty, virtue, desirability; parasocial nirvana; there's poetry in kpop, poetry in kpop obsession... this is what Degas saw in the ballet studio... if he were alive, he would be on /kpg/ 10 hours a day!
the girls embody an archetype: the beautiful, the charming, the divine-feminine. no room for the ugly. normal people are put off by such a cutthroat lack of irony. the immediate critique is "inauthenticity"-- as though authenticity can exist today! the midwit hates, for reasons he does not understand.
perfection can only exist in the imagination, in reverie. idol and fan are necessarily separate--the line between worshipper and idol-- and the relationship builds upon itself: the social validation of the idol, the parasocial experience of the onlooker... the idols are trained to interpret praise as motivation to work harder (Corean work ethic culture), and the fans shower the idol in gifts and adoration; a cycle of mutual obsession. the idol's personality begins to meld with her ideals... she loses herself in the pursuit of perfection... the world becomes a more beautiful place, through her blood, sweat and tears!
If such material causes you to lash out in a such a troglodyte manner, I would stop mulling around this part of the internet
i hate niggers too
