    “I agree wholeheartedly, and I’d further say that it’s not a phenomenon limited to Blackpink; most of the superfans of any K-pop group will insist that they have a great deal in common with their favorite member of the group, and that said member got to their position of fame & fortune through hard work and talent alone [presumably without any unfair advantages like being born into wealth]. This results in an extremely one-sided relationship between performer and fans, where the fans feel a personal relationship with the performer where none could possibly exist”
