Let's talk about kpop fan shipping (A rant)

[KaatKate]

I know an example of Kris and Tao when they were in Exo. I read they were close but after being shipped sexually they naturally drifted apart from one another. It wasn't the same as before. It really sucks.

Anyone would've felt uncomfortable. Imagine you and I are idols who only know each other from the news and random encounters at award shows then some people start shipping us because we happened to look at each other's direction When there's no connection between idols other than the nature of their job it's even crazier.

I hate it when it comes to that point. Some of their friendships are genuine, but then fans intervene and it affects them in negative ways.

Fans sometimes take things too far or overanalyze

It's also part of their culture. They are not being misunderstood with each other because it's not unusual for them to be this way. I'm not saying all Korean men are like that, some don't like to be touched, but I read once somewhere that it's a culture thing.</div>

People should just chill and stop shoving their fantasy ships down everyone's throats.
It is best not to talk about two idols romantically unless it is confirmed that they are dating.

The other day I came across an edited picture of Namjoon and Jin ... erotically kissing..?
Whoever makes things like these ~ Don't they have an inch of respect for their Idol?

And what's with shipping people who look at each others direction? Does that even make sense?

Same. I’m going to stay in my house and stay single

Think you can escape?
Then there'll be rumours of you secretly dating someone in your house
