Here's a question for you: Has a kpop idol or group become so popular that you've started to dislike them because of it?
I've never experienced this urge to turn against something just because it's suddenly ubiquitous. I have seen plenty of groups rise to popularity only to make shitty songs. In such cases, I've started to dislike the group not because of its sudden popularity but because its new music is nothing like what drew me in the first place.
But apparently, hating on idols for getting lots of attention and media play is a thing.
