Translated:
“I agree wholeheartedly, and I’d further say that it’s not a phenomenon limited to Blackpink; most of the superfans of any K-pop group want to believe that they have a great deal in common with their favorite member of the group, and that said member got to their position of fame through hard work and talent alone. This results in an extremely one-sided relationship between performer and fans, where the fans feel a personal relationship with the performer where none does, or possibly could, exist”

What is the main demographic of this fandom?

I’d guess it’s mostly young, easily influenceable boys from poorer surroundings and with a not yet refined taste in music. “Refined” not meant condescending but in the sense of diversification: “I know 5 movies. Those are the greatest movies ever!”. And “I now know 50000 movies. Those 5 10/10 from before are now the worst 5 movies ever”.

I thought I knew what the word bias meant but I’m not so sure anymore.
