The Lovelaces had two children:
Alexei (16) and Anya (14).
Alexei was a very stubborn hater of any K-Pop group in general because the music sucks. He had a particular distaste for BTS. He's grown even disgusted to them and every little thing they do. Everything about them was so fake. They acted as if they had no shame or self-respect, making fools of themselves on national TV. He didn't understand how people could come to grow a liking to that.
And the little reason why was that Anya was an Army.
Well.
A baby army really.
It's only been a month since she'd managed to learn all their faces and learned to distinguish them because to everyone at the beginning, all Asians looked alike.
After hearing his sister talk about them all day and practically forcing him to watch stupid videos with her, Alexei was done. So very done.
The place K-pop occupied in the charts was so overrated. It was disgusting to see his sister wrap herself into that cult and become one of those girls going mad for a band.
Alexei had an opinion and many people agreed with it. Sure, Armys popped on his pages to tell him off, each in their own way, but did he care? No. Some of them told him to go listen to the Cypher, which he did. That sure was a huge amount of bragging he heard. And he didn't even understand the words and had to turn the subtitles on.
Frankly BTS sucked.
He told Anya that.
The girl had gasped in an offended way and called him a hater as if she was already some expert about BTS.
Alexei thought that hater was a very strong word. He's not a hater, he's just a person of common sense. He understands why Koreans love them, but they shouldn't have expanded more.
All his friends disliked K-Pop as well. All the cool kids don't like K-Pop. Almost nobody in his old school listened to K-Pop, not even when those 3 annoying songs, Permission to dance, Dynamite and the VERY ANNOYING BUTTER would show up on radio. Those 3 songs and Harry Styles's Watermelon sugar were always the songs he always skipped when listening to music.
Anya always tried to change his mind, but her arguments didn't go very far and she didn't know what to say exactly and always seemed to be at a loss of words, which were huge moments of victory for her brother. She didn't even know what to say to defend her loved idols. That was pathetic.
Little did he know...
If the baby army couldn't say much, a more expert ARMY could easily diss him in her own way.
And he met her at his new school on his first day.
Attention all readers!!!
The negative opinion in here is wholeheartedly true and pulled from real Antis. Keep your own opinion and don't let the words faze your stability as an ARMY or a member of any other fandom. It'd be pretty stupid if your link to K-pop starts shivering because of this book. Hater's opinion is to be understood, but not adopted. Keep your own opinion, don't let it be changed by anyone.
Army opinion will kick in later.
Before we move on, it is to be specified that although BTS had indeed started as a K-Pop group and is still mainly one of the most active and popular groups of the industry, they have expanded beyond K-Pop.
BTS is considered as a musical genre.
And K-Pop is NOT a musical genre.
It's an INDUSTRY.
Artists who debut after a period of training within K-Pop industries/companies, are called K-Pop artists.
People who hate on K-Pop as a genre of music can't be considered real haters because they don't even know what they're hating and can be considered as laughingstocks.
Those, who however have a very clear knowledge on K-Pop, but still have a reason to hate on them, are however different.
Just like there's a difference between listening to their music and stanning them, there's a difference between not appreciating the music and not finding them entertaining and actually hating them.
We don't always have to reason with it. Sometimes they're right and it's none of our business. Our lives aren't even impacted that much. Like fck them and let's continue on with our lives yeah?
(No hate to any other artists mentioned)
