Have you seen that korean tweet they are calling Riku from nct wish is sex addicted maniac 😆 🤣
no but i saw his fanservice posts #BOP #RANTHROUGH
riku fanservice is crazyyyyyyyy like dont think any rookie idol comes close
like the kissing thing and the gf/number thing like this is just begggggggg
hes gonna regret doing all this in a few years if he gets into a scandal and then knets gonna switch up and be like wow all the signs were right in front of our eyes
no he really is cuz ngl while some of his fans find it uncomfortable imagine how fueling this is for parasocialism ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ and yup they're gonna call him sex obsessed if he gets into a typical nct scandal lmaoooo
Even without a scandal he's gonna regret doing all this in like a few months ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Fueling parasocial-ism this early on and to this extent is just a sasaengs dream and he's only gonna gain more sasaengs and esp the more crazy ones. I wouldn't be surprised if his 'normal' fans become sasaengs because of what's hes enabling ðŸ˜
like brudda ur in an sm group u we're already gonna have crazy sasaengs and they have that young cute boy image that's only gonna make it easier so the parasocialism on top ouuuuu
on the topic of that i feel like zb1 kinda fuel the parasocialism a bit much at times too like i thought they were getting better but then the digimonz live happened and they were fully talking in english about ideal dates and which member they'd recommend for their daughter to date like i couldn't take it bc i just can't with bf/gf stan stuff, i find it cringe, and it's worse hearing it in ur native language rather than having to go through subtitles so i turned my volume all the way down ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ i hope they chill on it a bit bc as anons have been saying, whenever that happens i just picture their future dating scandals like "oh no"
nah that's really standard stuff like a little parasocialism doesn't hurt and the point of their existence is to sell a fantasy to their fans 😠zb1 used to be clocked innnnn but not rlly anymore it's regular stuff now it's chill the crazy fans were gonna exist without it anyways and this type stuff doesn't come back to bite them in scandal cuz it's part of the job riku is doing smth else entirely
a bit much? this is nothing 😠like bare minimum what ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ also might be going on a tangent but I bet this anon wouldn't have this take if they were talking in korean 😠what's up with kpop stans loving foreign idols only to hate it when they start speaking english 😠like damn the korean fetish is.....
well they did say it was worse cuz it's in English and they understand but it's def not some fetish ifans are gonna be more critical of people they can understand it's just a thing me personally I can't stan a group without English speakers LIKE I NEEED THATTTTT
anon you just gotta off yourself bc i said nothing like that i said it's fuckin cringe and i hate hearing it rather than just reading it but thank you so much for your woke thinkpiece
nrnrmgmrmfnemdmmd idk where they got the fetish bit from like that's not what's happening here
Diff anon and playing devils advocate because I kinda get what that anon was trying to say but they just suck at talking LOL Okay forget about Korean fetish but something else is there because what's the difference between hearing it and reading it if the meaning is the same? It's not like Matthew and Ricky aren't native English speakers and are forcing themselves to speak English hence making it cringe, English is their prefered language to communicate in and what they're most comfortable in between the two of them so I get you find the gf stan talk cringe but saying hearing it in English makes it worst is... weird.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I get anons point tho they just find it cringe and it's worse to hear than read it's not that it's cuz it's English or Korean it's what they understand
i think it breaks their illusion/ facade (lowkey ironically some type of parasocialism going on) cuz when they speak korean they dont understand what theyre saying so theres like this 'fantasy' element to kpop idols like theyre this higher being? idk but theyre special, a different breed of humans or something and we expect a certain quality from them like a prince that never shits so when they speak a language anon can understand it breaks that illusion and reminds them that these kpop idols are no different than us, they use social media like us, see the same memes and jokes, eat and sleep etc. so imo i dont think they mean its cringe that theyre speaking english but cringe that theyre relatable?
it's definitely not cuz they find the eng cringe but that could be it but from their cc it sounded like it's just cuz they find this fanservice cringe to begin w idk im not them
lowkey ricky and matthew just don't have internet like i was shocked as hell matthew knew about the "demure and mindful" thing while it's still popping (mind you he forgot about the mindful part). we have the least tapped in english speakers in kpop in this group all they know is rizz... it would be less cringey if they didn't try to be on trend at all but it's like they're trying but they're just so behind
I'm gonna give them some grace I feel like they've been on it for a little bit now but they're truly so behind like zamn but at least they're trying but also can't blame them when zeroses eat the rizz shit up
