Male K-Pop Idols “Exposed” For Never Celebrating Gender-Related Holidays

Recently, an online community post went viral regarding the idol industry, which, despite its primary consumer base being women, never celebrates female-related holidays.

The post revealed that while male idols, who have mostly female fans, celebrate Valentine’s Day, Pepero Day, and various commercial holidays, they seemed to neglect Women’s Day.

They were even seen celebrating and posting about International Cat Day and Dog Day.

The OP hoped that more idols would celebrate and prepare more events for International Women’s Day.

Meanwhile, here is a list of some of the idols who celebrated Women’s Day this year.

Today is Women’s Day, right? Thank you all for being born. Everyone, please congratulate all the women in your life! Congrats, everyone!

K-Netizens agreed that this was how low the standard of men were in Korea.

• “This is the reality of Korea…”
• “Seriously, they don’t even act like they know it.”
• “They need to reflect…”
• “Geez…”
• “Even without celebrating these holidays, there are tons of girls who spend their money on idols…”
• “That’s why I just laugh when I see posts about male idols and actors and how much they love their fans…”
