Oh yes my favorite subject. You might know about this one the most in the world. Of course it’s the best thing which comes with KPOP fans. Yellow Fever 

Ok for those who do not know what Yellow Fever is, it’s a nickname which is given to people who only go for asians. So let’s say before KPOP you liked a good looking white guy who had nothing to do with asian stuff at all, was attractive to you and you liked him. Suddenly KPOP comes along, he’s ugly now, you only will date asian guys. If they are Korean it’s a bonus, of course it would be they are from Korea which is where their oppa is from. Yellow Fever can be excused for asians dating asians though, this is different. When a Korean girl only wants a Korean guy it’s understandable it’s in their nature to date the same race. But if a white girl wants a Korean guy? Thats yellow fever right there.

So why is Yellow Fever such a big thing? Well here we go.

• First of all, you might say you know Korean, Chinese, Japanese but if you only know a few words of these languages you are not fluent, the ‘target’ which you are trying to date probably won’t be impressed if you shout ‘oppa saranghae’ at them. They probably will think you are a freak. You don’t know the language so don’t try and blag it to some guy. 

• People who try so hard to look asian, so only wearing asian brands of clothing, or try to look like a cute Japanese girl? What you trying to do? Attract a asian guy? They probably will laugh at you unless you actually look good in these clothes or pull it off with your own style. 

• The whole idea of love goes out the window, instead you want a K-drama style relationship which would probably drive you insane, probably will want you to dump the guy and if theres another guy involved when then your just a slut. Korean guys won’t want to be your personal Korean drama lead they just want a relationship no need to dramatize it or compare them to a Korean idol they probably will hate it. 

• So you want to move to Korea? Is it because of KPOP or do you actually like the country? If you said yes to the first answer then you are kind of stupid. First of all you need a BA degree to actually be able to work over there most of the time and be able to speak at least half decent Korean if you really want to stay there permanently but don’t forget sometimes Koreans will be blunt with you, out of rudeness or curiosity if you can’t handle it then you probably won’t get far and if you just want to go to Korea for the music and the men then you are pretty pathetic. 

• When you will only date a Asian because they are Asian not because you might like their personality or anything. Just because they are asian they are hot. It’s stupid really and even we laugh at people who are like this. I’m sorry but a asian dude probably won’t want you if you are only dating him because he is a Asian. They won’t be impressed by this. 

Anyway Yellow fever is a big thing which we always talk about here at KPOPFANS101 and we always have a great laugh over it. So to add to what we have put above lets see what other people have said about the great disease of Yellow Fever. 

Urban Dictionary states

When someone is sexually attracted to asians to an obsessive degree.

Slang term, used to mock non-asian people who are attracted to asian people. Usually of eastern descent - Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.

Signs that someone/you has/have yellow fever include:

1) Obsession over a person of asian descent.
2) A fascination with asian stuff, e.g. Japanese things, Anime, Chinese history, Asian languages, Her parent’s takeaway…
3) Acting like a prat around asian people, because you’ve gone into mental meltdown.

Protip: Make use of the name ‘Poon’ for awesome puns.

1)Yellow fever sufferer: ‘Ohmygod, that *asian person* is so damn cute, I have to ask her out. I feel so lonely without her…she can make me complete <3’ 

Concerned friend: ‘Dude, you don’t know her. Why the HELL are you so obsessed with her? Please, you’re scaring me.’ 

2) Yellow fever sufferer: ‘Ohmagawd, she/he is so kawaiii!!!!1 I want to glomp him! Do u think she/he’ll be impressed by mai awsum japanese/mandarin/cantonese vocab? Huh?’ 

3) Yellow fever sufferer: ‘Oh, hi, how are you today? I just thought I’d come up and study with you here…in the library…yeah…you know, I like hong kong. I hear your family is from hong kong. Oooh, can you speak canto? Can I hear you speak canto? You do know, your hair is lovely, it’s so black and nice, and your eyes too, they are lovely, so exotic and…beautiful…what? No, don’t be silly, I don’t fancy you, do you think I’m obsessed with azns or summat? Huh? LOLOLOOLOLOLOLOL!’ 

User A: “Kpop is much better than american music. IT’S A FACT. american music is just sex and that’s why USA is number 1 in porn. while Kpop is cute, cheerful, sexy in a good way not like in american songs…”

User B: “I agree so much! American music is 100% sh/it disgusting garbage! I’m even American myself but think Kpop is billions times better! Kpop is perfection…”

Clever girl:  ”You do realize a lot of K-pop artists borrow their style from the same kind of music you just called “**** disgusting garbage”, right? Just some food for thought…”

User B: “Wow you racist conceited American!!!! America didn’t ******* invent music! The world does not revolve around America! Kpop is completely different from American music! Kpop is unique and original! WOW you suck balls!”

Clever Girl:  ”Wow. 1: I never claimed that America, or any country really, “Invented music”, all I’m saying is that all of the rap and pop Kpop uses usually is inspired from American music. There is nothing wrong with that. 2: There is nothing racist in my comment because I, in no way, said that American music is superior to that of Kpop.Thirdly, K-pop, while in some aspects is different from American music, is not original and unique as you claim it to be.
Now, I actually like K-pop a lot (otherwise I wouldn’t be here) and the only reason I didn’t immediately lash out at you is because I believe in reasoning with people before that. You however jumped to conclusions that didn’t even hold water just because I disagreed with you. Learn how to read a comment before making such statements and I’m sure you won’t find yourself in situations like this again.”

User B: “I said some things that were not true and overly mean but I cannot stand talk of American music that isn’t mean, and I will never understand how you can talk kindly about American music when you’ve seen the glory of Kpop…”

So continuing on from the last post about KPOP fans living a life of KPOP, we are here to continue this project. KPOP takes over many a fan girls life with dreams and fictional lives which they wish/ long to live in. For example, when it comes to idols why is it that they truly believe that they will be able to marry their idol or meet their idols when they go to Seoul. Do they know how big Seoul is? Really this is a stupid ideology which really should be stopped since it is pretty stupid either way. 

When they constantly go on about KPOP non-stop like it’s the only thing they know really annoys us. Surely KPOP fans must have more than one hobby than KPOP and something which is not asian related. People might like to dance but mainly only dance to KPOP. People might like music but only listen to KPOP. Might like films? Only Korean films and etc etc. It’s almost like they are shunning the idea of having more than one like or interest in a country not even the culture just for the music. It’s really stupid either way when people behave in such a way as to believe that KPOP is the only way forward and actually believe they will meet and marry their favorite idol. 

While studying at University we met a few Korean students, when we asked them about what they thought of KPOP they hardly agreed on what we told them about some of the fans. Infact 80% of them said they didn’t even listen to KPOP or knew some of the bands we had talked about. Instead they preferred western music (something which KPOP fans abroad would not believe)

The truth is in Korea image is everything, some fans do not realise the strains they go through to actually keep their body shape the way it is, how they don’t know how much stress and pain they go through before actually debuting. It’s a fact that Kiseop from U-Kiss wanted to commit suicide when he wasn’t accepted into any entertainment companies. It just proves this ideal life they see is something which comes so easily. No it doesn’t most of the time the idols do sexual favors with ‘sponsors’ to get known and to become famous. Sorry guys it’s true we were told by someone who knows about the entertainment industry. However fans probably won’t believe this because to them their idols are like Gods who can not do no wrong. 

Also fans seem to be very about their idols even between friendship groups. When one group is more popular even they still argue. It’s not going to get anywhere though as the fan will be bias towards their favorite so the ‘argument’ won’t even get anywhere. There would be no answer to this. Anyway continuing on, fans need to know that KPOP isn’t the only thing in Korea. Ulzzangs are not the only thing fashionable about Korea and besides most Ulzzangs have had plastic surgery so they are all probably plastically beautiful like most idols. It’s a well known fact Korea is no.1 for plastic surgery and SNSD get injections into their legs to actually keep them firm. Stupid right?

If fans really want to be like their no.1 idols then maybe we should just let them suffer since the world of Korea isn’t all bubbles and pixy dust it’s a normal country just like London or Paris or New York it’s all the same. Media will make us believe these things and it is stupid because people fall for the stupid tricks of the trade and fall under this stupid spell which KPOP fans can not see because they are so infactuated with the stupid reality which is KPOP idols lives. I’m sorry but they are under so much stress why would you want to be like them? Besides if you are not asian there is a bigger percent chance they won’t even back a eyelid at you. 

Anyway before this becomes a rant which would be highly stupid we will continue this at a later date

What do you think of KPOP Fans and their weird and wonderful dreams? Did you ever think like this? Let us know!
