Kpop The Dark Side of Kpop: Sasaengs, Idols & Culture
from Unapologetic Energy · host MadNyx and SoulQueen
In this episode, Nyx puts Soul on to the darker side of the Kpop world—sasaengs, the obsessive fans who cross boundaries and put idols through serious emotional and physical stress. We talk about how this toxic side of fandom affects artists, their mental health, and the industry as a whole.We also share our own experiences with Kpop—how Nyx got into it, the groups we vibe with, our first K-dramas, and those early days of watching anime and K-dramas on YouTube. Yeah, we definitely get a little off topic in the beginning (as usual), but we also dive into the differences between celebrity culture in America vs South Korea, and how fame looks so different depending on where you are in the world.Whether you're a longtime fan or just curious, this episode has something for you. Tune in and let’s talk about it
