I refuse to stan BABYMONSTER
I was really hopeful for a new YG Girl Group, as I’m sure everyone was, but then their ages were released and I just cannot support this. Young idols aren’t something new, before anyone tries to ‘well actually’ me. But my biggest problem with the group is that I believe almost if not everyone is a minor, which is just disturbing, and that people are defending it.
“No one complained about NewJeans” “no one complained about IVE” um yes they did. In fact when I first saw the Attention music video my first thought was “they look too young” and that was before I even knew how old they were, and when I found out Leeseo was the same age as my younger sister I was shocked. Idols who have debuted young in the past have said how damaging it was and how they wish they’d waited longer
“I don’t care they’re still talented”. So you don’t give a shit about these girls who are going to go through the absolute horrors of idol life? Even the adults experience such traumatic things. Fans preach mental health awareness and protecting their idols until it doesn’t suit them anymore. What really does upset me though is the majority of people online who say they don’t care and they’ll stan anyways and “it’s not a big deal” are often minors too. And yknow, I’ve been there. Sometimes I forget I’m actually 18 now and even though 4 years doesn’t seem like much in the grand scheme of things, who I was 4 years ago looks DURASTICALLY different to what present me looks like. So I hope the minors who haven’t matured into seeing why BM’s debut is problematic will eventually see the reasons. And I hope they won’t feel too guilty when they do.
So yes, BABYMONSTER is the first group I’m flat right refusing to stan due to age. I’m also cutting out CLASS:y too, but I’m not too upset about that as I didn’t really like their comeback so. I’m on the fence about NJ but since I hardly like their music anyway I just don’t care
