-When I-Fans add "u" at the end of the word while speaking English is actually kind of irritates some ppl. Why? Bcz it is like you are making fun of the Korean accent like if you say it while speaking Korean it is okay but speaking fluent English then adding it Intentionally is kinda rude.
-This "Aegyo is Cringe" No it isn't. Look it is part of the Korean humor so and it might come off cringe to westerners but not Koreans cuz at the end Aegyo wasn't made for the west.
-Idk why does it Irritates I-Fans that k-fans love or prefer cute concepts over the so called "mature" ones?Like they are allowed to prefer or love whatever they want. They are allowed to love "cute" just like I-fans are allowed to love "Mature".
-Stanning kpop or watching k-dramas doesn't make you an expert in Korea culture. Like Iam tired of ppl acting as if they know and also give information about the culture and the info they give for the most time is actually wrong.
-Do not use oppa/hyung/onni/nonna if you do not speak Korean. It is like speaking Korean but then throwing the word "Sir" in the middle for no apparent reason. Like do you imagine how weird that is.
-Do not get pressed if non-asians entered kpop like Lana.It isn't for you to decided whether they are allowed or not.
-Stop making fun of English pronunciations. Example the JN "Feel speciarr" joke that started last year was rude tbh. Like this is an accent and you gotta expect a word to be pronounced in many ways by non-English speakers. Do not tell me it was a joke bcz in fact it was a rude joke. Keep in mind that kpop wasn't made for the west. It was initially made for Koreans. So do not make fun of these stuff under the category of "Joke"
I ofc do not mean all I-Fans. Ik there are alot of good I-Fans
Edit:-Regarding the Aegyo part. It is offensive to say it is cringy bcz it is like telling someone your country's humour is cringy. Aegyo isn't hurting you a bit. Even if some Idols say it is cringy that still doesn't allow anyone to sh!t on it that way. Like I see statements like "Idols should stop doing Aegyo" like sorry why? It is part of the humour. When Idols say it is cringy the do not say it in a bad way and they aren't serious either. Aegyo is mostly requested for those idols who do not like to do it bcz this is a part of the humour whether you like it or not but do not sh!t on it. You can say "I do not like to see Aegyo" but do not sh!t on it. Like fr I see some I-fans demanding it to be removed like-
Edit2:- It is okay to find it cringy but 1- Voice your opinion appropriately instead of demanding anything 2-Do not sh!t on it(I prolly said that for billions of time lol)
Edit3:-I have had enough of explaining. See you guys as I said it is a humor and it is to see how will ppl (specially males) will hold themselves and not to be shy while doing it. You do not like it? Okay but voice your your opinion respectfully do not say it is "cringy" just cuz humor is subjective. It is like saying beauty is subjective but then call someone ugly. Say you do not like, you do not feel comfortable watching it, doing it but calling it cringy is straight up rude. Bcz this belong to certain ppl so saying this irritates them bcz this humour isn't hurting you.

Some I fans have no problem stereotyping and generalizing Koreans in a harmful manner, but once a case of CA happens, they talk about how such incidents stereotype and generalize a race. It’s funny how they don’t see their hypocrisy especially as those “woke” people are entering a foreign entertainment space. Stereotyping and being xenophobic goes two ways.
