That shit is always trending and I’m sure they’re not just Koreans putting it up on YouTube. Aside the eye candy (the girls are hot) I don’t see what’s so great about it, the choreography can be impressive, at times, but that’s it.
Voice talent isn’t anything special and the music is so derivative from US pop and even some Latin reggaeton… Like bad copies of those already meh music genres.
Also the industry side of it rubs me the wrong way… Why are the girls like drones of each other, everyone seems like they went to the same plastic surgeries to look facially the same, Korea in general seems OBSESSED with that “doll” look, and btw that goes for the boy bands too. There’s no identity in the members, I don’t see what’s so attractive about those dudes but girls like them wtf? At least the Backstreet Boys looked like different men, Koreans make them look like a bunch of NAVY Seals in comparison lmao
I dunno man, if you are a girl wouldn’t you a dude that, yeah, he’s attractive but also that looks manly? That can physically protect you? And that does not has a doll face?..
Most importantly, the dark side of the industry behind it is horrible, BSB and N’sync had it bad as well but it seems the Koreans have it worse, is like they’re trained to be robots and not artists. I only see a group of trained monkeys. Even when I see an artist that I despise and is a bad role model (Cardi B) i can tell that she is 100 percent HER, authentic, for better and for worse. I don’t see that in those Koreans.
I feel no need to be protected in my day to day life. My partner provides love, companionship, empathy, and a listening ear. Sure, some women might care about protection and toughness or whatever you’re on about, but attraction varies from person to person. Most other women I know want to be heard and loved. People are allowed to want to fuck “fragile” men. They can be hot without needing to be “manly.” You’re putting so much stock in traditional gender norms, not realizing that it’s not women that actually care about those. It’s the men that are trying to be that. Some women will, of course, but women aren’t a monolith. Want an example? Timothy Chalamet is very commonly considered to be an extremely attractive actor, and he’s far more androgynous and “fragile,” as you put it, than your traditional masculine ideal. Just as many women might be attracted to any number of different appearances, because people are different! The days of needing a strong man to support us frail women are over. Your insecurities and ideas of masculinity are clouding your judgment.
To answer your question succinctly: No, they aren’t fragile looking, they’re just slim. No, they don’t look “dehumanized,” they look like people. The dehumanization happens in industry, not with their faces. I know people that look similar. Some women find them hot, and want to fuck them, and idolize them, because they are hot! They’re very attractive people, if that aesthetic is what you’re into! If your only metric is how likely they are to win a fight, sure, they probably aren’t at the top of the scale, but the vast majority of people DON’T CARE.
They told you to look into therapy because you have an unhealthy idea of what women are attracted to and what masculinity should be. They called you insecure because you sound insecure (why do women like the weak little boys and not big manly men :(( they look so frail and weak, don’t women know they can’t protect them??). Whether or not that’s how you’re actually thinking, it’s how it comes across. Instead of realizing that some people do like strong men, you took it to a place of jealousy and defensiveness.
TLDR: Different strokes for different folks. Don’t obsess over people you don’t find attractive still being attractive to others, as it isn’t good for your mental health and isn’t a good look.
Way to miss my point completely. The guys look like artificial fragile teens, those are facts. And btw I think the same about the girls.
And btw yeah that Timothy actor looks fragile looking as well but at LEAST does not give me the vibes of being a lifeless puppet.
