Netizens have hit back at the fact that female idols always get hated for small things, compared to when male idols take their shirts off or do something sexy.
Kpop twt is the only place where they hype up male idols’ bulges and shirtless pics, but if a woman shows her tattoos she’s suddenly ‘attention seeking’ or ‘her music isn’t selling.’ The double standards- https://t.co/JIVDPkSGKY

Kpop stans are soo nasty , god forbid a woman even breath suddenly she is attention seeker but their male idols doing strip shows in name of “stage presence” is revolutionary https://t.co/VQpVAcf931
