K-pop idols are never perfect and sometimes, their weaknesses become their downfalls.
A celebrity's life is like an open book, where people always give an eye on every detail of what they do and how they project themselves. K-pop idols, in particular, are under a heightened standard of the society that they have to show off their best behavior. Failure to do so will either make them or break them. While a lot of fans are now being open to stars' imperfections, some netizens selected K-pop idols who they think give off bad vibes.
These online users simply feel that this certain artist is a spoiled idol or an arrogant one. Thus, they have chosen them based on how they have seen their actions oncreen. Note that these are based on their opinions and don't entirely define these celebrities' personalities as a whole.
Let's see the netizens' explanations below based on a hot discussion in one online platform.
Somi
A lot of netizens say that Somi is someone they were rooting for while she still part of the show SIXTEEN. She moved further with her career as a soloist. She has a lot of potential and no doubt a head-turner visual. However, as time goes by, some say that she is now lacking stage presence and talent - no growth since her debut.
Another netizen mentioned that she is trying to ride on with BLACKPINK's fame. "She also rides on blackpink's fame a little too much, trying to be the unofficial fifth member," one commenter said.
What makes it worst for some is when is finally won her first win on Mcountdown where she actually ate a lemon and spit it out on stage afterwards. Added to that, she broke her trophy and just laughed at all; which for some is a careless artist who doesn't give importance to her most precious win. Thus, some called her a spoiled idol and selfish.
"One thing that really pushed me over the edge recently though was when she won her first win on a Mcountdown and celebrated with eating a lemon and literally spitting it out on the stage afterwards. I mean who is gonna clean that up sis. She also broke her trophy and started laughing and overall just not showing a lot of care for her first win. Her behaviour seemed a little spoiled and selfish," a netizen said.
Still, fans defended her that she is just a cool and fun person who does not care about what other haters would say.
Kang Daniel
The soloist Kang Daniel is massively getting recognition and fame in general after pursuing his solo career. While a lot would say that he is a total package of an idol, some netizens picked him as a K-pop idol who give off bad vibes and an arrogant one to be specific.
"Kang Daniel this man just gives me vibes that he is very arrogant, especially when he was in the show produce 101 season 2 in one of the episodes he was competing with one of the other trainees, and he said along the lines of...Oh I will beat him I am going to win. Like bro I get that you have a lot of pride but you know," according to a netizen.
Former AOA Shin Jimin
No doubt, a lot of netizens would consider her as an arrogant K-pop idol after her scandalous bullying controversy with former AOA member Mina, that prompted her to leave the group and retire from the K-pop industry.
A netizen enumerated some explanations why she feels Jimin is one of the K-pop idols who give off bad vibes.
The netizen mentioned that she is actually an "Elvis" (AOA fandom) but she has noticed red flags after watching "Unpretty Rapstar," and some videos of the girls where she say that she was too comfortable and how other members would never hug her.
(G)I-DLE's Soyeon
The main rapper of the famous girl group, (G)I-DLE's Soyeon, gives off bad vibes for some netizens who discussed about arrogant K-pop idols or spoiled ones. Some consider her selfish in terms of having more vocal lines than the vocalists. They feel like she might get scared of not having long singing lines that might lead to lesser popularity for her.
"She also gives me kind of selfish vibes, like why does the main rapper get more vocal lines than the vocalists? And guess who gives out lines? Soyeon, and Soyeon is the main rapper, giving herself the most lines. It's almost like shes scared that if she doesn't get so many lines she's not gonna be famous."
Girls' Generation Taeyeon
Taeyeon has been through a lot in her life, and receiving criticism is something that she succumbed to in many aspects of her career and personal activities. The reason why they picked her is that they see her as someone "bossy." Although she might project a strong leadership behavior that has proven as an ingredient of SNSD's success, others simply find her a spoiled idol. Jessica's departure from the group has always been linked to her a long time ago, some just can't seem to move on and blame her.
Generally, a lot of K-pop idols may not give a positive appeal to the audience and give off a bad aura. Nevertheless, fans got their backs, therefore making them soar high on their respective careers. Further, there are a lot to it more than what meets the eye.
