girl you just notice it more now because of twitter and international presence. nothing is as extreme as all boygroup stans SCHEMING together through a hate website dedicated to SNSD to collectively buy out the tickets and turn off their light sticks during SNSD's turn 

Social media does sure changes everything but I would disagree, that 2nd Gen were just a lot better in terms of interaction between female and male idols like we wouldn't had this iconic shows and exchange in the first place. Now do this with any current 

idols, their career will be ovah

It's giving queens of the stage, talentresses supreme, vocalist extraordinaires etc. etc.

From the girls whose singing about defeating a giant snake to spicy/thirsty/salty & sweet femme fatale chanteuses. The major glow up

You forgot the point they were called **** by K Netz just for talking to TVXQ and SUJU and this collab.. 

I think people tend to forget how much problematic the kpop stans were back then.

It was mostly the boygroup stans. Those TVXQ and SJ stans were so nasty in the past.

 

For example I know Jessica was close with Donghae and Junsu in her trainee days and their crazy fans decided she was dating them and spread rumors and called her all kinds of names. When she debuted they increased it even more, so she got forced to address it on Radio Star. 

 

Just look at the comments of this old blog from 2009

Well technically she could, but whenever she tries in Korea...

A certain company pulls out shady tactics to try and block/interfere with her promotion

No, Twitter, the international platform, has made you aware. Korean social media / forums already existed and as someone who read a ton of translations back then, gen 2 stans were fckn vicious. They were racist, xenophobic, weightist, would call a girl out for being ugly and do it under every popular article she was mentioned in, would make up rumors about the girls they didn't like... like they straight up would try to ruin their careers. It still happens, obviously, with Soojin's case for example. 
 

As far as those collabs go, they do collab lol. They even do fun stages together. It's just that none of them are even like this anymore. They can't serve this type of charisma by themselves let alone together. And after everything that happened to the 2nd gen groups, why would companies willingly put them through it? Jay Park had to leave due to a scandal that was found in his MySpace. Who do you think dug that stuff up?

Those days were terrible for SNSD for sure but not as extreme as today where you can't even put females and males in one room or else all hell would break loose 

Sone were having to literally fist fight ELFs at events.

this is vile

and then people have the audacity to say the american entertainment industry is just as bad

this is literally unprecedented 

[kataraqueen]

Like they straight up nicknamed Hyoyeon Hyogre  and this isn't from a couple of haters, these b.tches would systematically upvote people calling her the ugly Hyogre that doesn't belong in the group to the point where it was the first comment shown under articles with thousands of upvotes every time it was something about her

 

It's like if the DailyMail was popular

 

Subsequently she would get less camera time, less lines, etc

 

Watching it back now it may seem funny 'cause the girls are funny and they make it seem like it wasn't a big deal, but it really was. Seeing Sooyoung laugh about her lack of lines and how early she had to get up in the morning for no reason becomes sad when you realize how many people called her SEA trash that ruined the group's visual. There's a reason why so many 2nd gen idols suffer from depression / took their lives

There are few and far between for a group that’s been out for years 

[Odette Violet]

I'm all aware with all the bulls//t the Soshi girls had gone through at the early stage of their career. They even had their own anti cult online however I was just trying to make a point that there was just no so much pressure between the men and women of Kpop interacting that time.

 

Sure there were extremely nasty comments ( Sulli suffered from it ) but it didn't really affected their individual careers by just touching/making straight jokes/looking eye to eye with the opposite sex as oppose to now 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

 

this choreo is so much more basic than I'm used to seeing from kpop idols, it's giving Meghan Trainor

 

she looks so bored

[Save-Me-Oprah]

what possessed Teddy to sample Chained To The Rhythm for Fast Forward anyway? such a random song to sample

[Vrx.]

Screamin doing better than V is a concept because HOW

[Odette Violet]

How in a world interacting the opposite sex has become so controversial and taboo in Kpop  I'm so glad I grew up with 2nd Gen

It's because of all those incident during the 1st, and 2nd gen... Heck even the 3rd gen was toxic, I mean let's not forget how CLC got treated for performing with Pentagon

 

 

Well it might have to do that many members dated each others, but that's beside the point.
