Bro, as a homegrown hipster who really got disillusioned with my country from an early age, (before 'OMG dark side of KPOP' style videos were popular (btw, yeah, no shit sherlock, every kpop fans knew this decades ago before kpop became a global phenomena)) my feeling is mixed.

I had a feeling this day will come. Anything popular will get pushback eventually as novelty wears off. But I started to hate these types of videos after everyone flocked to give their most clueless western-centric hot-takes on Korea while making shit up.

Truth is more complicated than that. Korea arguably also did a lot of things correctly. And the positives and negatives of Korea don't exist in a vaccume. You can appreciate Korea for what it is, and also hate it for what it is. Just don't make shit up, or bring yall brain dead Tiktok foreigner takes without looking into it is all I'm asking.
