Funny how we’re posting this this week and Baekhyun goes on Lysn to say a fan had stalked him to his home and that he’s disappointed and feel violated. His ass goes i never forget a face! So to that girl…keep those eyes peeled. So we got part two of our Trauma Series. Parasocial relationships in Kpop! How different subjects and mediums have parasocial relations to each other. Idols and their relationships to fans, journalists, social media, and people who stay hate watching. The kinds of influence that media has on parasocial relationships. These parasocial relationships that aide to fantasies of deranged, but generally wealthy people, we have sasaengs (stalkers) emerge and fit into a category of the Kpop-industrial complex. We talk about some absolute nut shit that has gone down because idols must be available to their audience, while not individually knowing their fans. Its like a little tragic but also kinda funny sometimes? Anyways, we’re speaking on some little and large known facts of Kpop which vary in severity. We also deal with spectacle and what creating spectacle really means, and how it functions with relation to idols. We got that drops episode coming up soon that mentioned in the end.
