Why are K-pop fans so....

[relmy]

This is going back a few pages but someone mentioned that Jpop is more hostile to Kpop than Kpop is to Jpop.

This is kinda stating the obvious, but for (some) Jpop fans, the success of Korean artists in Japan in an intrusion, or making Japanese artists unable to succeed and overlooked etc...

However, I've seen (again, some) Kpop fans be more open - their favourite act making a debut in Japan is opportunity and development, they recognise that they can make more money there. However, (some) also see this as moving away and not being a loyal, I've seen more of the first though. Or maybe I've been looking in nicer places based on some of these posts...

What I find funny is that while Kpop acts expanding into Japan is welcomed by (here mostly Western) fans of Kpop, expansion into America is slaughtered and insulted, which I find bemusing. I guess this goes back to listening to Kpop because it's not American (or Western, for non-US fans) rather than liking the music. And, as somebody mentioned, they find most of the "crazy" (Western) fans to be younger/early teens, and I guess we all thought that way when we were 13/14.

I guess this is because the 10% that are crazy get more exposure than the normal 90%.
And does anybody have links to the articles about the blood letters and glue drink? I'd like to read about them to see how much of it is actually sensationalism.
