SNSD’s Taeyeon You know how Taeyeon is mad famous for her
vocal capabilities, right?
However, with her fans, the pride isn’t just that since they’re also super proud
of her having literally no filter between her mind and mouth.
Of course she would never offend anyone with malicious words, but what I’m trying to
talk about here is that whenever she feels something isn’t right, she’ll just straight
up spit it out regardless of whoever that is: her anti-fans, the producers of music
shows, or even SM Entertainment.
Rewind to a few months ago when Taeyeon made a comeback with Weekend, she suddenly posted
an Instagram story implying that she’d been encountering lots of malicious comments from
anti-fans but at the end of the day, haters are gonna hate so she just chose to not give
a damn.
Basically, her point in the story was that: Regardless of what you do and how you look,
people would still have their perfect reasons to throw hands and since this actually did
nothing but tear you apart, nothing but leading a happy life as you wish would be the best
way to shut these people down.
Probably since anti-fans still not let her alone and kept coming at her saying Weekend
was a rip-off Doja Cat’s Say So and Kiss Me More, Taeyeon posted another story a while
after that to emphasize regardless of what people said, singing was still her passion,
she would keep doing it everyday and people who love her should never have to worry about
that.
In fact, things like this were still the low level of Taeyeon’s savageness to anti-fans
because in the past when a person called her out for being “plastic”, she just calmly
clapped back “Aren’t you talking about yourself?”
Also, you remember when the news about Taeyeon and Baekhyun broke out and she was immediately
attacked by netizens?
Many anti-fans seemed to never get over this and still hunt Taeyeon down even three years
after the scandal had passed.
In 2019 when Taeyeon shared her favorite poem with a line saying ‘Let us live long.
I hope you won’t forget me,’ an anti-fan immediately threw hands at her with a belief
that the line was referring to Baekhyun.
However, this person didn’t seem to understand that she was messing with the wrong person
because after inboxing Taeyeon with the b-word and calling her a stupid, pathetic idol, she
also had to delete her account for good.
Why?
Was this anti-fan suddenly hit with a good conscience and wanted to start all over again?
Actually, that wasn’t the case as after reading this hate speech, Taeyeon just straight
up exposed that person’s identity and freaked her out with the scenario where “what goes
around comes around.”
The interesting thing about Taeyeon is that she never needed to be this big to have the
balls and spit straight facts about what gets on her nerves.
Well, because when she was still working her way up, she had already criticized Music Bank
on their own stage for being unprofessional and negligent.
She said: “I hope Music Bank could provide artists with a better environment when they’re
performing,”—implying the show failed to assist idols with the headphones problems
despite many before-hand rehearsals.
Surprisingly, SM Entertainment was also not an exception just because Taeyeon rose up
from there.
You know how companies often did a shout out to artists and gave fans a tribute when an
MV reached million-milestones on Youtube, right?
When SM Entertainment forgot to do that after I Got A Boy surpassed 200 millions views on
Youtube, Taeyeon just went straight to her Instagram and questioned where the company
was at times like this.
In 2018, she also explicitly criticized the unprofessionalism of SM when cutting down
on the budget, made her go to the airport without any bodyguards and ended up getting
harassed right on the spot.
BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and Daesung If you’ve been following KPOP for long,
there are high chances that you’ve already heard about the time when GD just went to
MAMA 2014 and dissed Mnet right in their face, right?
Though it remains unknown whether the whole thing actually went as scripted by the show
or it was GD’s secret plan at the last minute, his rap still took the Internet by storm and
got to the top trending for many hours after that.
It all started when GD did a freestyle prior to his GOOD BOY-FANTASTIC BABY performance
and to everyone’s surprise, he just calmly stood on stage and accused MAMA of manipulating
the awards.
According to GD, MAMA was basically a joke and their awards hold zero value since instead
of recognizing artists making valuable contributions to the industry, the show just split the awards
equally to whoever attended for good public image.
A year after that, Daesung also explicitly criticized Mnet at MAMA 2015 and called them
“the Devil of editing” for daring to distort all the truths just for cheap top trendings.
He also implied the situation was actually so bad that whenever he attended events organized
by Mnet, for example MAMA 2015–the place he was standing at, he would always use sign
language and never say a word.
BTS’ Jin Besides GD and Daesung, Jin is also one of
some rare artists that have the balls to speak up that MAMA’d better stop manipulating
the awards and give credits to those who deserve them.
However, he didn’t use as heavy words as his seniors and that totally made sense because
you know, BTS is still at the peak of reputation and there’s no good reason to ruin the image
just for some anger.
So basically when BTS got an award at MAMA 2019, Jin was in charge of delivering the
speech and after thanking ARMYs, he moved on to the subtle yet profound criticism allegedly
pointing at MAMA.
Of
course he didn’t fingerpoint who was at fault but by saying he knew all the dishonest
tricks to bag home these awards and some people needed to learn about making the music environment
less toxic, netizens already had enough clues to tell who that was.
GOT7’s Youngjae After MAMA 2019, the name that made headlines
was surprisingly neither the noble Daesang winner BTS nor the monster rookie ITZY; instead,
it was solely Youngjae and he was trending everywhere for the polite diss at the end
of the show.
However, a bit different from all previous idols, he just did it with a gentle gesture
rather than saying things out loud on the stage.
On Youtube, a thirty-six second long recording of Youngjae passive-aggressively folded the
banner in half to hide MAMA’s name quickly drew attention that night.
At first glance, many people thought he was just unconsciously doing it because the banner
would be easier held that way, but after looking at the way MAMA disrespect GOT7 during the
show, they quickly realized Youngjae was actually pissed and his action was all intentional.
At this point, probably you can already see how rigged the reality often is because even
a bright boy like Youngjae must also step up and express his discontent explicitly like
that.
By the way, you know what they did to the boys?
Half-way into the show, MAMA confiscated their table just because they were flipping bottles,
then they mistook GOT7 with MONSTA X when giving them the “World Performer” title
and as if that wasn’t disrespectful enough, the show also took ages to upload the performance
of GOT7 while other artists already got theirs.
Of course fans were pissed and all pointed the fingers at Mnet for being an unprofessional
snake but there was also nothing much to be done.
BTS’s Suga During their Mic Drop performance at 2017
SBS Gayo Daejun, Suga took the chance to clap back at haters who baselessly accused BTS
of lip-syncing and shut them up for good.
Kicking off with J-Hope’s killer opening rap line, Suga quickly followed by swapping
in for a spitfire rap verse.
Then just when the crowd was getting all hyped up, he casually paused midway on his phrase
“If you’re so jealous and it hurts then find a lawsuit and sue it” in a bold move
to show haters that they ain’t lipsyncing despite the hardcore choreography.
While this moment only lasted for three seconds, it quickly drew all attention and became the
highlight of the show.
In the comment section, netizens couldn’t stop talking about how Suga ended all haters
and their baseless rumours with a three-second move and how anti-fans would be driven mad
by his smirk at the end of that part.
MONSTA X’s I.M At V HEARTBEAT in 2019, I.M decided to make
it a memorable night to both MONBEBE and haters because just seconds into the winning speech,
he already said loud and clear that since there would always be naysayers who nitpicked
every little thing, it’s just best to “let the haters bark and I don’t even care about
it.”
Needless to say, that moment soon became the highlight of the award and to netizens, his
words held a lot of weight as it not only clapped back at MONSTA X’s haters only but
also at those who were disrespectful towards the whole realm of K-Pop as a whole.
Plus, though none of the members in MONSTA X decided to continue his dissing, all were
seen smiling and slightly nodding after I.M finished that powerful massage.
So, which case do you find most savage?
Do you think KPOP idols should have more freedom to clap back haters that always insulted them
like this?
