K-Pop Mayhem: On Nickhun praising Justin Bieber
Before anything else--a word of caution: this post might contain foul language, and a hell lot of incessant rants and insults. If you're a Belieber and thinks Justin Bieber is a god, then this read is most definitely not for you. If you're a Hottest and could not stand whatever sort of question towards Nickhun and his opinions, turn tail and make a mad dash for it, too.
If you just can't stand seeing someone cuss up a storm over the internet, then... well, this isn't for you, either.
Why yes, I have definitely come back just to rant about this.
And yes, it's definitely worth it.
So a while back, I was browsing through the interwebs, and skimming through AllKPop articles, when I came across this one:
Nichkhun Praises Pop Singer Justin Bieber
What in the name of all that is good and sensible? What the actual fuck?
Now I had to contain myself from going bat shit crazy just from seeing the title, and successfully read through until the end of the article, and a few comments. But the fact that I had not reacted--flared up and set all hell loose, to be more precise--as I had originally intended to, plagued me for nights, and now I guess I just had enough. I have to get this out of my system or I swear, I'll definitely explode--and the last thing I really need is to chuck my baby (laptop) in the window out of too much frustration.
(That's right. Smexyy breathe-in-breathe-out with Dongwoon...)
So here it is. Remember, you've been warned.
When I first saw the title, I almost toppled over in my seat. Sure, AKP is, for me, at least, notorious when it comes to dropping bomb-like articles (like the whole Lee Min Ho-Park Min Young dating thing), and from my time there, I should have known that the authors show no mercy when they deliver their news. But holy fucking shit, just the title itself floored me.
I really like Nickhun. He may not be my bias (no, no; that glorious throne goes to Taecyeon), but I am very endeared to him. He is such a (cough-sometimes-wussy-cough) sweetheart, especially towards Victoria. He's sweet, charming, and very princely; not to mention, that handsome face of his, plus a glorious, sex-godly body to boot--anyone can tell you that he really is quite the package.
A little-more-deeply speaking, what I absolutely adore about Nickhun is his personality (no, not the L-type that my ovaries go kaboom for). He is very gentlemanly and respectful. He chooses his words wisely, and is obviously careful about where he steps on. His opinions, albeit not always positive, aren't brash either. Safe to say, he has a good way with words, and with people too (he is, after all, the Most Influential Thai). I have always respected what he says, because he obviously respects what other people think. In that way, I found Nickhun to be absolutely lovable.
But good things come to an end, apparently.
No matter how much I say I respect what Nickhun thinks, I couldn't, however hard I try, agree with him praising Justin Bieber--just... no.
Goodness, no. For heaven and hell's sake, no.
I hate Justin Bieber--and I'm only saying this because I believe "loathe" and "detest" and any other adjectives along those lines (degree) are too powerful, and I find people like Bieber completely unworthy of anymore attention than what I presently give them, anyway. So, "hate" it is.
Up until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even bat a lash at the name Justin Bieber. Then I saw his Tweet saying: "I hate anime". He took it down, though, but I saw it. And while I was at his Twitter, I decided to play it cool and be the bigger man (yes. Man). I checked out his videos, his fans' comments, his interactions with them, and to my credit, I lasted about an hour and a half. Then I couldn't stand it. The amount of idiosyncrasy and absolute lack of talent is too damn high.
As an Otaku, the biggest shit you could do to piss me (and any one else of my kind) off is to insult/hate on anime when anime has never done anything wrong against you. Prejudiced? I beg to differ.
Fast forward. Present day where I am now a proud Anti-Bieber...
When I first read the title, I swear my expression was something like this:
And when the words "Nickhun", "Praises", "Pop", "Singer", "Justin" and "Bieber" finally clicked in, I was absolutely aghast.
(No more GIFs at this point. Too much GIFs already. xD)
When I finished the article, I was completely mum. I couldn't believe Nickhun said those things--not because they aren't nice, or that he isn't capable of saying such kind words. But because of all the people he could possibly praise, why the fuck did it have to be Justin motherfucking Bieber?
I can't stand Charice's now-worsening-arrogance, but you have to give it to her because she has amazing vocals. If Nickhun praised her or someone genuinely talented like her, I would've understood; would've kept my mouth shut and my god-awful opinions to myself. But he didn't. Instead, he praised the most completely unworthy person he could possibly even look twice upon; definitely the last person I expected someone like Nickhun to acknowledge, much less praise.
And it occurred to me that, hey, maybe Nickhun's just badly missing Victoria that he's starting to loose his grip, or maybe even that JYP's starving him and working him to death (or something so antagonistically SME-like)--anything to keep me from believing he actually thinks Bieber is born to be a star. Anything at all!
But no. It was real. It happened. Nickhun actually praised Justin Bieber. And until now, the entirety of it still floors me. Partly because there isn't anything remotely impressive about Bieber and all. Mostly because I just hate him simply and, again, could not see an ounce of remarkable talent in him. Sure, he can sing, dance, play piano, play guitar, etc, like how one Belieber in AKP commented, but for fuck's sake, even I can do that! Practically ever kid in my class can do that! Ever single motherfucking K-pop artist can do that. Honestly. If that's all the Beliebers are gonna lobby, their argument is invalid. Because there are tons of people who can do all those and so much better than Justin Bieber--and no to mention, look so much better--and the only up that pathetic-excuse-for-a-singer has is that he has connections. He has YouTube.
And if it hadn't been for the shit-loads of haters regularly bashing him on the interwebs and in person, the kid couldn't even have made it past his first video. It's all thanks to idiots like me who take the time to speak the truth about his nonexistent talents that he gained so much popularity, in the first place. There will be fans, but there will always be more haters. So clam it, Beliebers.
The real issue here is that Nickhun praised someone who is completely undeserving. I'm not jealous of Bieber (fuck, no), and by no means do I even dream about being acknowledged by Nickhun. But see, Khunnie, you better get your eyes and ears checked soon enough. Maybe drop by the hospital more frequently to get a regular checkup, and some medications because obviously, you need it. And I'm serious.
Ah. I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Hurt your feelings? Live with it. Justin Bieber is no god. His talents are nonexistent. Nickhun makes mistakes. And he needs some serious medication.
