Welcome back to another Confessions of a Kpop Fangirl post! In our previous posts, we talked about our girl crushes & boy crushes with such great love (or if I'd blatantly put it, unrequited love sigh). These crushes came about either through 'love at first sight', or after a long term of trying to like them and eventually finding them to be ideal. However, we all have that group of idols whom we have tried and tried overly, repeatedly to like them but to no avail. And even keeping ourselves in denial and convincing ourselves that 'oh i will start liking him/her/them if i watch that music video maybe 10 times more' and whatnot. After all, sparks can't just fly on anybody's will. Let's take a look at some of the idols whom the staff at Kpopranter just can't seem to like!
Tiffany: I just can't get any feelings for f(x)'s Sulli. Honestly, I never really have much feelings for any group visual (even the groups that top my bias list's visual is always my least liked member in the group). With f(x) Sulli's case, before, I had just a feeling of "eh, she's there" for f(x), not hating her but not liking her, however, after Sulli ranked herself within the top 10 most beautiful girl group members, my tolerant feelings towards her turned negative. Yes, yes... beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but... in my eyes, I just can't rank her that high. Ranking her in the top 10 most beautiful girl group members is like picking your bias member in SHINee. I just can't.
I just can't like Super Junior's Shindong or Leeteuk, either. After what hypocritical Shindong said about fat girls and Leeteuk said about Miss A's skinny-as-hell Suzy needing to lose weight, I just couldn't anymore. I stopped trying. I like Super Junior, but I just can't like them.
Jazmine: I really hate Shindong from Super Junior, too, despite me being a fan and loving Kyuhyun. I really don’t see anything special in this cocky guy. After he said he didn’t like fat people, I really hated the group even more. Shindong is the fattest from Super Junior to start with and I don’t think this so called “losing weight to be healthy” was a good comeback for him. Super Junior in general has lost me as a fan for being so damn cocky. A girl 90 pounds? Are you fucking kidding me? You want her to be a freaking toothpick? I’d just say marry your damn hands and get your shit over with (excluding my baby, Kyuhyun).

EXO has constantly been receiving much public attention ever since pre-debut times because they are under SM Entertainment; the first idol group to debut since the incredible success of f(x), SHINee, Girls' Generation and many more. I am a really big SM fan, no joke. But as much as I want to like those 12 guys, it works well but only to a tiny extent. I don't believe that they are deserving of this much attention based on their talents as a group. Sometimes I watch their performances and I really want to cringe because they are awesome dancers, no doubt about that, yet there's always this missing element of life, energy. Will their upcoming comeback prove me wrong? I hope it does.
Tiffany: Same here. I hate too many people/groups... don't I? I never liked EXO either. It's just... too much work. Plus, in my opinion I don't really see much... difference from them. They're just another group however, the only thing that makes them popular is SM. I bet if they were under Zibidiboopap Entertainment (This entertainment obviously doesn't exist. just an example, guys) they would probably get as much attention as that spoiled milk in the back of your fridge. Yeah, I went there.
Elyssia: I don't hate anybody. Really. I don't. I think hating people is just too much work so I just stick focusing on the idols I love.
Am I a bad person for this?
Tiffany: Yes... Yes, you are.
Jazmine: I can’t stand companies that suck at management. I mean, really, SM? Having ‘star museum’? I mean, really, what the fuck? Do you need that status of your celebrity? I mean instead of putting your money in your stupid museum, give it to the kids in Africa! I really hate SM like all the way. SM learn how to manage; you have f(x), too... They give shitty songs to SHINee and SNSD, their Japanese songs suck like there’s no point in wasting time in Japan when they’re already famous enough.
Tiffany: I think their management with f(x) somewhat (only slightly cause f(x) has a show now!) improved however, with groups like Super Junior and EXO? Not really. Yeah, their songs are starting to suck. Dream Girl was great and I like Why so Serious? but the Dream Girl album songs weren't that great and Why so Serious was basically a repackage. They shouldn't have wasted SNSD's time with America cause The Boys wasn't great and their song Cheap Creeper for whatever the hell, was bad... like a Ke$ha or Miley Cyrus song. SNSD's songs in Japan vary. Lots of their songs are just remakes of Korean songs so... nothing new there! But I liked All My Love is For You, am tolerant of Mr. Taxi, Paparazzi and Love & Girls while Flower Power was by far one of their worst songs. I didn't like Time Machine though many people like it maybe just cause I'm not a real slow, ballad person.
Jazmine: JYP, I have to say most of my favorite groups come from you... but this company has got so much to post about. They are never on time with their debuts (Tiffany: YG, too! Come on, YG!) and they always have been on hiatus. For instance, ever since Wonder Girls has debuted it's like a never-ending story. With the failure in the US, I feel like they have lost some respect. I also hate that JYP does really bad comebacks and it freaking pisses me off... grrahh! I want to punch you JYP!
Tiffany: Same here. Wonder Girls has just slipped from their American debut causing JYPE, who previously had Wonder Girls as their breadwinner, to slip hard, too.
