However
All the KPOP i-roaches are making a fuss
There are a ton of tweets saying it looks unsanitary and abnormal, not just one or two, but seriously a lot.
And they’re getting a ton of QRTs too.
It’s not just people saying it’s unsanitary, there are also a lot of people going way overboard, insulting Chaewon or saying weird things to her… (Makes you wonder what’s going on in their heads…)
The video also went viral on TikTok,
and people started saying things like, ‘KPOP idols do this a lot,’ or ‘My bias does this too.’
Then they started asking if this is normal in Korea,
and making a fuss as if Koreans are weird.
What’s ridiculous is that people overseas kiss their dogs a lot too.
You can literally find tons of videos on Instagram or TikTok, so it’s just like, ??
Some people are even saying Chaewon’s video is a bigger problem just because it’s longer. What loads of BSㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Out of frustration, some people have started bringing in examples and opinions showing that in Korea, it’s actually common for dog owners to kiss their pets and stuff
This video has already been posted on other platforms and nobody thinks it’s a problem
I’m Korean, and you guys have no reason to be mad at this thread. For Koreans, this is a common behavior and no one thinks these idols are weird, including Chaewon 😅 https://t.co/jvd9RigytX pic.twitter.com/b1WdBtMCtB

Even under posts saying that no Koreans think idols kissing their dogs is a serious issue,
there are QRTs with people (who admit they’re not Korean) pushing ridiculous arguments, ‘Why should we care about Korean standards?’
It’s slowly shifting into this ‘educate them’ kind of attitude (why does it feel like Starbucks is involved…).
Now there are people starting to say things like:
‘Koreans shouldn’t be doing this,’
‘Koreans need to redefine their understanding of hygiene,’ people who are clearly blowing things out of proportion.
As you all know, Koreans are generally pretty clean.
Kissing dogs in Korea is just something people do because they raise their pets really cleanly and think they’re cute. Is it really something to make this much fuss about?
Apparently, it’s been blowing up among international KPOP fans for two days straight now
original post: here
1. It’s indeed nasty. We need to think of it like licking a cotton swab of dirt
2. Me too honestly, I’m kinda fascinated but also feel disgusted ㅋㅋㅋ I don’t have dogs so I don’t know
3. I usually peck my own puppy, what’s the big issue?
4. I watched the video too and honestly, it was not it. I know that people do that in Korea and overseas, but people wondering why the reactions are bad? Because the video was not it
5. I don’t care about the idol, but it’s true that this isn’t sanitary…
6. I don’t own a pet so this was kinda repulsive to look at, but why are people terrorizing her?
7. I don’t have a pet and the video shocked me too..
8. Disgusting ㅜㅜ
9. Me too I have a pet and I give them pecks but… The video was too much
10. I have a dog too, but the video made me cringe
