the reaction to this announcement is honestly proving the grammys’ point. they give people a shiny new category and suddenly everyone’s arguing over who gets to win it instead of asking why asian music had to wait until 2026 for this kind of recognition in the first place. asian artists already conquered the global market without the grammys. this category doesn’t validte asian music. if anything,asian music became so impossible to ignore that the grammys had to create a category before the lack of recognition became even more embarrassing. that’s the difference. 😭💀 what’s funny is watching people act like this category is doing asian artists a favor. trust me, the grammys need asian music a lot more than asian music needs the grammys at this point.

🚶

some of y’all are more uncomfortable with this project than the antis are.

RT @snownuex: 아여자들이좋아.. 남자? 남자는 그냥웃어 ⌒・⌒

what’s especially funny is that some of y’all are always the first to tell fellow fans what they should or shouldn’t talk about, but go completely silent when iu is getting dragged, nitpicked, or held to ridiculous double standards. all that energy for policing fans, none for defending her 😭

like there’s an album rollout happening right now. we don’t even have a date, a teaser, a concept photo, a tracklist, a preorder link, or anything to focus on lmao

I think you have a problem. you watch female centric dramas and and only complain about female characters, their acting and the way they are written while you have no problem with male lead characters, but instead, you want the story to be about the males in a fl centric drama( )

anyways what the fuck happened to that korea boycott in indonesia you guys pledged to do back in february

calling out consumerism is one thing. looking at one rich celebrity and concluding koreans are consumerist’ is just xenophobia with a sociology filter slapped on top.

Koreans want people to treat celebrities by the same standards as them but they don't even treat celebrities like human beings lol especially female celebrities 💀 and another day they complain about misogyny 😭

weird as hater

not surprised. keep saying she’s not a bad actress while stanning her.

i’m sorry but the “move on and focus on the album” comments make no sense to me 😭 people still talk about moon lovers. people still talk about my mister. people still talk about wlgyt. fans revisit scenes, make edits, post throwbacks, and bring up old projects all the time. that’s literally what fandoms do. so why is move on suddenly the response when it comes to perfect crown? genuine question, are y’all actually fans? is this really about the controversy or is it because the male lead is someone y’all already dislike? because i’ve never seen this much eagerness from fans to move on from an iu project before.

RT @ggoneverse: this was from the tkem era, and it literally foreshadowed goeun becoming the mardi mercredi ambassador 3 years later. https…

i genuinely think a lot of it comes down to the standards people have set for iu. for some reason, every project she’s attached to has to justify its existence before it even airs. a smple romcom gets analyzed like it’s competing for best drama of the decade, while other actors can star in the most basic, formulaic romance and nobody bats an eye. from the casting news alone, people were already writing essays about chemistry, suitability, career choices, ratings, and whether the drama was worthy of her. it’s honestly bizarre when you remember this is suppsed to be a light romcom. not every project needs to be a social commentary masterpiece or an awards contender. sometimes people just want to watch two attractive leads fall in love and have a good time. and now every little setback gets treated like some massive gotcha moment 😭 as if people haven’t been waiting for one since the casting announcement. the victory laps are especially funny because a lot of the people celebrating were never planning to watch the drama in the first place. imagine being more emotionally invested in a romcom failing than the actual audience is in watching it.

i hope my fave never works with mbc again and i hope haters, right-wingers, and those shippers end up going through something even worse

and let’s be real, if this happened to a project you actually liked, none of you would be calling it karma. you’d be asking what happened, complaining about how unfair it is, and demanding answers. but because it’s pc, suddenly everyone’s acting like it’s some well-deserved punishment. at least be honest and say you’re happy to see it happen instead of pretending it’s about karma.

perhaps this is god protecting y’all from the inevitable shipper think pieces and comparison videos 😭

the funniest part is watching his stans treat him like a helpless baby who needs constant protection from the big bad world. he’s a grown-ass man, not a make-a-wish child. the way they infantilize him, you’d never guess that plenty of koreans have spent years clowning him for being an absolute loser. 😭
