Korean "netizens" are brutal. This is barely scratching the surface of the madness. At least they haven't driven this celebrity to suicide. Yet.

Japanese netizens can be similarly brutal towards girls in the idol industry.

I mean a lot of idols (or rather, their management companies) try to appeal to incels, so if anything, they're the reason why these idols are so famous in the first place.

This has happened with a few streamers hasn't it? It coming out they had a BF and they basically lost their viewership?

Happening right now with Yuuko Yurei, she stopped doing girlfriend experience content and switched to vlogs and stuff, she's plummetting. Very hard to leave after you captivated this audience, since the people that don't like the former content already left a long time ago.

I think they have the same issue in Japan as well

I am really glad that “Oshi no Ko” threw light at the creepy behind the scenes part of entertainment industry and how prevalent the problem is.

I know they prob don’t have the crazies like we do here in the states, but aren’t they worried about stalkers and other unstable fans?

The only thing that makes US crazies different is the easier access to firearms.

Mental illness is not confined to one country.

This may come as a shock, but shitty and crazy people exist everywhere. Either Japan, Korea, or both have had stabbings at events where people pay for tickets to shake hands with some of the idols. The difference is that, at least speaking for Japan, firearms licensing and ownership is very strict so someone's not going to go shooting up a place. The guy who assassinated former PM Abe basically built a blunderbuss out of hardware parts and electronics to do it and it was a single-shot.

This is specifically why the apology exists. It’s to keep her safe and hopefully with a career still.

Sadly this is common. I used to have Kpop news on my feed but had to unsubscribe. I couldn't take the ridiculous amount of whining over every little thing from Kpop fans.
