[Editorial] What does the Korean media/netizens think of allkpop?


Ever since Zico's personal life hit the fan with allkpop this past week, I've gotten a few requests by readers asking about the relationship allkpop has with the Korean media as well as netizen views of allkpop in general.

Because allkpop isn't too well liked among international fans, I think people get the impression that the Korean media also thinks lowly of them. One reader cited an article released by Sports Chosun where allkpop was slammed for a report on Jessica, but these are isolated cases. For the most part, the Korean media doesn't care about allkpop, and it's the big entertainment companies that are pedaling to their conditions and sucking up to them for international exposure.

So in short, no, the media doesn't care and entertainment companies are drooling at the chance of working with allkpop despite international sentiment on the website. allkpop has the influence and power to maintain their position because the only other international sites like Soompi or Koreaboo are absolute rubbish and have even lower journalistic integrity, if any all.

At the end of the day, companies want results and numbers. If you were going to shell out $1,000 or more for a sponsorship deal, would you want over 300,000 page views and 200 comments or 5,000 views and 10 comments? In the face of numbers like that, allkpop's reputation in the international community doesn't matter.

There's an interesting twist to this, though.

There's a Korean organization (titled 'allkpop off') absolutely hell bent on taking allkpop down and they're the ones basically plugging anti-allkpop material to the Korean media and buying out space on news programs no one watches to 'spread the evils of allkpop'.

I'm sure most of you nodded your heads in glee as you read that, but trust me, this group has absolutely nothing to do with bringing justice to K-Pop and journalism, and it's actually quite ironic and hilarious at how this whole thing comes full circle when it comes to just how shitty Korean journalism is.

Basically, all of them believe Johnny is Japanese and that he and his Japanese wife are out to spread anti-Korean material to bring K-Pop and the Hallyu wave down by spreading scandalous material on allkpop.com. They also believe that the entire team is made up of Japanese staff and writers and that tokyohive was created solely to spread positive news about Japan, thereby completing their mission of squashing Korea and promoting Japanese superiority.

I know. I KNOW.

If you're not familiar with allkpop at all, Johnny, nor his team, is not Japanese, he's Korean, and although I question his business choices as much as you all probably do, his passion for K-Pop isn't really up for debate. tokyohive is obviously just another 6Theory business venture, and I'm really curious as to how this organization is going to explain the launch of SmackJuice. Is SmackJuice another project for Johnny and his legion of Japanese followers to promote American superiority over both Korea AND Japan?!

I digress.

This organization has managed to get several Korean media outlets to release reports on allkpop being an 'anti-Korea, anti-Hallyu' hate site, as well as run a bullsh*t news story on some news program citing 'source evidence' that are years old that the current allkpop staff isn't even responsible for.

Yeah, I get why people will get their knickers in a twist over allkpop's older entries on SNSD and Big Bang during their days a la Perez Hilton (I personally think some of your Tumblr blogs and fanfics have dirtier sexual commentary, but we're not all news blogs, I get that!), but this organization is clearly missing that picture and is using a distortion of it as ammo to drive home a completely different nationalistic and racist issue.

On a post detailing 'evidence' of allkpop being a hate site, they use a screencap of an allkpop writer named KAMIKAZE and go on to claim that Japanese writers should not be writing about K-Pop because they will so obviously distort the news to their benefit (KAMIKAZE is a close friend of mine and she is in fact Korean).

That's CLEARLY evidence for allkpop being a hate site, amirite?

Basically, their demands to allkpop are simple. Either take down the site or stop posting scandalous news directly from Korean news outlets because it paints a negative image of Korean entertainment to international fans and that might harm the Hallyu wave.

I'm sorry, but what? International fans are consumers of your media and they have just as much right to know about what they're buying or choosing not to buy as their Korean counterparts.

This organization is basically pissed that allkpop isn't painting a rainbows and unicorn picture of the great land of Korea and their sparkly entertainment culture and they've taken to petty threats to accomplish their goals (allkpop is often threatened that 'big forces' will one day recognize their sin and that they will pay 'the consequences'. Judging by how they've managed to get into the media, I assume they do have some sort of power).

Their own solution was basically running their own K-Pop site called sarangkpop.com (It's no longer available) but that mainly consisted of haphazard uploads of random music videos and no translation of news pieces.

I don't know man... I'm not here to white knight allkpop because I do question some of their choices, but this whole Korean organization against them just rubs me the wrong way. Casual netizens that don't look into the issue any further believe all of this crap they're spewing because what better do they know?

It involves Korea, their precious Hallyu, AND JAPAN! A recipe for disaster if I've ever heard one. God forbid they ever discover Asian Junkie or Anti K-Pop Fangirl.

As a random side note, I've seen some Korean fandoms translate allkpop comments to gauge international reactions to certain issues or releases.

I guess both sides are monitoring each other now, ha!

  3. That organization... sounds crazy. I'm not even going to try to understand the problems that native Koreans seem to have with the Japanese, aside from the whole 독도 thing.
    Also, as much as I hate allkpop sometimes, if one filters the bullshit with one's own common sense one could actually find something interesting. I only follow for the releasing of MV's and concert announcements.
    On the other hand, that Flickr you linked, looool I will be clicking through that allll day.

  4. Behind all the sparkly rainbows and unicorns is a nonstop shit storm that is KPOP fandoms.

    ReplyDelete
  5. If allkpop did more fact checking before pumping out articles, they wouldn't have this problem. There's been too many instances where titles were misleading or articles were worded just to start shit among fandoms. Most of the readers over there don't help the situation either; can't read 10 comments without facepalming at, at least 6 of them.

    "For the most part, the Korean media doesn't care about allkpop, and it's the big entertainment companies that are pedaling to their conditions and sucking up to them for international exposure." - This is so true. I've also noticed that companies like that tend to have more carefully constructed articles. In other words, AKP doesn't care unless you kiss their ass. The Japanese stuff is ridic though. That aside, they're not that bad, I guess. Soompi's writing can be cringeworthy and Anti K-Pop Fangirl would leave them in tears lol.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Is Soompi really that bad and notorious for their 'irresponsible journalism'? I thought they were rather good although readers, if any, rarely comment on their articles.

    I guess I'm correct to believe that most K-netizens buy the story about AKP being anti-Korea since we have already witnessed how they react to feeble evidence that subtly hint at something undesirable happening.


    "As a random side note, I've seen some Korean fandoms translate allkpop
    comments to gauge international reactions to certain issues or releases."
    Damn! I wanted to learn Korean and create a Korean version of netizenbuzz. I guess the demand for that market is satisfied now.

  7. You stole my article idea! :p


    But yeah, all of this.


    The extent that segments of Korean netizens will go to in order to fabricate conspiracy theories based on next to nothing is even crazier than sane people could imagine. Far worse than stated here. It's pathetic.


    Great read.

  8. from what i heard about soompi, they have a tendency to take small matters and try and blow them up. Someone told me (i don't go to this site so idk first hand) that they sometimes try to do things to make japan seem anti-korea and such as well.

    ReplyDelete
  9. many international netizens hate allkpop but they will still come back for more because as much as you hate it allkpop is the biggest korean news portal that is 'sorta' reliable than the others.
    well big individual fandom in twitter might be more reliable sources but they are spesific and don't give a damn outside their bias group.
    so i think we all have this love - hate relationship with allkpop.
    i, myself don't hate it but they said Johnny (allkpop ceo) is one of the biggest troll on allkpop (sujumakebelieve) but when i checked on his twitter, he's like entirely different person like ppl say. beside why the hell he hates kpop when he runs a company based on it??

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't think allkpop is or was anti-korea/hallyu wave per say. I just think they liked to pull immature shit just to gain views maybe? someone has a flickr account with all those aritcles they wrote about celebs and idols in general. While i don't mind jokes or adding humor from time to time in articles, one can view those posts as unprofessional, though allkpop wasn't as big or connected should i say at the time.


    And i'm curious as to what's wrong with Koreaboo. I've heard things about soompi, but not Koreaboo

  14. I think many people would like allkpop more if that place was actually run by REAL JOURNALISTS.

    It is so obvious that the staff there can't really handle anything accept selca articles or mv and album release news. They make practically no quality, in-depth, or thought provoking articles and when they do it's like once in a blue moon. And them just mindlessly translating articles from Korean new sites doesn't do much good because the Korean media doesn't seem to have it's act together either.



    Oh how I wish allkpop would produce better and more respectable work or that better site could just overthrow that them altogether.

    1. Real korean American bi lingual journalist are gonna spend their time on a rag like allkpop keep dreaming. A lot of those ppl translating are students and do double time as fan translators they don't have time to write up deep articles or they don't want to, this is just a job for them. Do the job, get paid.
      Now call me creepy but if. My predictions are right the dear administration of netizenbuzz writes/translates for all kpop also?

      Delete
  15. I think Allkpop is mainly profit-driven. They have all these controversial article titles so as to encourage traffic and ensure more clicks. If you're lucky, they'd help you explain away the misunderstanding in the article itself. If they do not, fanwars occur. :( But now thanks to them being in contact with the large entertainment companies, they'd have to be accountable, too! At least nothing too blatant and painting themselves as somewhat neutral. :/

  16. Can someone tell me what's with Asian Junkie and Anti Kpop Fangirl?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Read about what AllKPop posted in the past, there's a link provided in this article. Anti Kpop-fangirl is basically the old AKP.

    ReplyDelete
  18. yap i still remember some of the disgusting articles they put about kpop artists back in the day,but AKP remains relevant because of the lack of diversity. And that japanese thing is so weird, why they don't investigate a little before putting that much effort ''to protect'' the hallyu wave from AKP. They have wrong misleading titles and some horirble mistakes but they pretty much remain the main source of news for the most kpop lovers

  23. yep never heard of what exactly wrong with that site. i thought the articles are well-written.

  24. Just from reading the title: I love you netizenbuzz. Even If people can't see anon comments.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Soompi is full of shit, just like Allkpop, but I can tolerate Allkpop more.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes. Nearly two weeks ago they posted a bogus article of Block B saying a girl group member was ugly LONG after a Korean follow-up article cleared up the misunderstandings. And of course, they didn't add the source so they can pretty much be LYING to their readers and they'd be none the wiser.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tbh netizenbuzz, you and your site are getting too suspicious as well.

    ReplyDelete
  28. it's a gossip news portal, don't know why anyone expect real journalism

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yes. Soompi has a horrible habit of not crediting other sources of news and making it their own . They then brush it off when you tell them that they didn't credit other peoples stories. Other than that, they are quite late sometimes a week late in representing news. There must be better places than Soompi.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well, if you read their about page you'd notice that it says allkpop is a
    "source for all the latest K-pop celebrity gossip and NEWS" and is "the most trafficked English based K-pop NEWS site in the world". They're trying to play it both ways but it's not working. Plus even a gossip site can produce quality info yet allkpop doesn't even do that well.

    Whether the site is for gossip, news, or both they can surely do a better job.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Its not that they don't take kpop seriously, but they're more open to criticising their oppars & unnirs and not as cringe-worthy as the stuff allkpop comes up with. Although akf is pretty much a cesspool, Asianjunkie is well-structured and a good read.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The irony of this is that China and Japan do tons of media smearing of Korea, South and North. I mean, I have seen tons of Chinese media talking shit of SK, even though the things aren't true. And making up false reports to do smearing of SK. This is coming from Chinese, and no, I do not represent the rest of Chinese, but this is what I've seen from the Chinese media. To use media to promote actual hate toward Koreans. But that is stemming from racism and xenophobia as a whole.

    So the question is: What doesn't some South Korean cares about that? Why cares about AKP?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow netizens running a hate campaign against something based on their own prejudices and half-assed information without doing any real proper investigation? Gee never seen that before ahem cough.

    ReplyDelete
  34. That's what I mean when they don't take it seriously..unlike the other fans who praise w/e their idols put out as the best shizz ever or act like their idols are perfect gods and goddesses.

    ReplyDelete
  35. exactly my thoughts!

    ReplyDelete
  36. akp is indeed so update in providing the latest news, but sometimes they're so biased that cause so many wrong assumptions to the celebrities involved. I stop visiting them months ago for this.

    Instead I visit netizenbuzz more recently LOL

    ReplyDelete
  37. but they have the point, back then allkpop was full with shitty, disgusting, sexuality comment in the end every article. until jhonny saw it could be more profitable if allkpop spreading hallyu wave too and tada...alkpop nowadays.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Heh. Really. The K-netizens and the media do a far better job of destroying its own stars than any of the foreign outlets could ever do. Asian Junkie and others really is civilized compared to some of the garbage spewing out from the netizens & media.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well not suprising since AKP used to be a hate blog..anyone remember Popseoul??

    ReplyDelete
  40. Netizen Buzz = Asian Junkie, but both are > Allkpop, who is > Soompi, and Koreaboo is the worst.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Johnny is not japanese but his wife is and she's not happy about Kpop (Johnny himself actually wrote this) This is the reason why k-netizens and reporters who published what netizens found think Johnny is Japanese and hates kpop but it's actually his wife who hates kpop... There have been lots of Japaneses leaving anti-hallyu comments on sites like youtube. Commenting and uploading videos of korean celebs plastic surgeries and fabricating korean history and stuff. It's been years and when it was getting real worse members of a hallyu cafe on Daum decided to do something about it and that's when they found about Johnny's post about his wife being japanese and disliking kpop. They thought maybe Johnny is a japanese too or joseonjok. Netizens from other sites started posting this and when it reached to journalists the story was distorted. If you know what was going on when this whole thing happened you'll understand better why they thought allkpop was an anti-hallyu.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Koreaboo is really professional to me though, they write their articles very neutrally, and actually attempt to feature more unknown artists as well, without them getting paid for it like allkpop. I wouldn't call them "absolute rubbish" at all, but their neutrality does make them a bit .... boring. Without the drama, gossip and lies allkpop throws around (without shame too, they never hide the face that they ARE a gossip site). So yeah.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree with this statement. This new organization should be more focused on K-media that publishes these sensationalized stories since these supposed anti Korean websites only translate and reprint what the K-media prints. With the way that the Korean media is going, they won't have to worry about anyone else destroying the Hallyu wave. The netizens and the media are doing a bang up job of doing it all by themselves. It kind of reminds me of that phrase "killing the golden goose".

    ReplyDelete
  44. I agree with you. I've never truly viewed Soompi being as trashy as Allkpop, but I have noticed their articles have become more sensationalized. They never began as a trashy type - the news was really just a background to their intensely active forums ... I guess that's what happens when the majority of your users flocked to Allkpop. Disappointing, but that is business.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It'll only be a matter of time before someone copies and pastes this article on the forums of ALLKPOP. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The only problem I got with allkpop is that they are late. Soompi is also late. but they have a good (i think) relationship w/ some korean ent.agencies Koreaboo is quite good, they are quite fast sometimes(just sometimes) . But anyways, this is fun to read. Gives me an overall picture of all this things. Thanks! :D

    ReplyDelete
  47. I agree. Whenever I see AKP or Soompi posting dubious articles, I always try to check if Koreaboo has reported the same issue. Their neutral stance makes them boring but I'd rather be fed boring truth than entertaining lies.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think I wasn't making clear what the cafe members were trying to do. People might misinterpret my comment so I'll write more. Yes, this is about Japan but it's more than Koreans having hard feelings towards Japan. The cafe being the biggest hallyu site in Korea their members began researches and gathered evidences of what Japaneses of 우익단체(=right-wing, nationalist organizations) are doing on Youtube and other sites to damage Korea and hallyu. They tried to let the other Koreans know what is happening on internet foreign sites and find a way to stop the Japanese nationalists. One of the so many evidences was about allkpop. Johnny and his staff's posts, his way of using kpop to promote his jpop site and some Japaneses from 우익사이트 commenting on allkpop spreading false information about Korea. Since those allkpop posts were about top idol groups like SNSD and Big Bang many fans read and they were of course angry. They spread the posts saying allkpop is calling their idols gay and sluts because they're an anti-hallyu site. So fans and netizens reported this to news sites and got it published. I think it wouldn't have made the news if the idols allkpop badmouthed were not popular. Fandoms and nationalists are scary you can say that but allkpop isn't innocent in this either.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Excellent post. Thanks for the further insight into this issue.

    ReplyDelete
  50. my only problem with Allkpop is that they let trolls like SUJU13ELIEVE and PasticBoom comment even though they have been reported countless times. also rumour has it that SUJU13ELIEVE and PlasticBoom work for allkpop. Also, these two have some freaky ass ablity to post a comment before the artical is posted. the comment can be posted "16" hours before the actual artical is posted.

    also i really dislike how every god damn time they write an artical about a black artist, some of the comments all of the sudden turn racist. they insuate the wrong thing and dont apologize when they are the ones in the wrong.



    Allkpop is a good site but i wish they could handle some stuff diffirently.

    ReplyDelete
  51. What I really dislike on allkpop is their comment thread though I admit I comment there often especially when the article is about my bias group. When you scroll down the comments thread there, it can be entertaining at times cause of the jokes or funny references but like 98% of the time makes you go *facepalm* so hard cause of the cray fangirls who make ignorant, overly biased, boastful, bashful, nonsense, unrelated, narrow-minded, blinded, brainwashed, fanwar-provoking etc etc comments. Very unpleasing to my eyes that's why I can only tolerate reading the comment thread under the article of my bias group. Of course you can't expect to see only positive comments but at least when you comment try to be classy and when you reply try to be chill. My only problem in soompi is they don't allow comments from disqus (since disqus is very convenient for me) and I'm too lazy to make a soompi account lol.


    Good thing the comment thread here on netizenbuzz, to date, is not severe. You know I like reading comments (about my bias group and even kpop in general) which are insightful to read and neutral or can be biased but remains open-mindedly written.

  55. if k.netizens dont care about their own kpop news sites -unless theyre going to bash- why would they care about an intI kpop site? I dont think akp is wrong... it was actually the 1st kpop site that i came across and like it a lot but of course, there are some things they need to work on like the trolls and fact-checking but theyre not the only ones... they pretty much translate the news and post some editorial stuff the same way tons of sites do, so criticizing them for giving int. exposure to groups its unfair imo... thats not what companies do in SK -and like every company in the world- anyway??

  67. Really? You're defending the delusional beliefs of these idiots?


    His wife has zero to do with the content on allkpop, but like with most things, K-netizens love their conspiracy theories, so they'll run with it.



    You realize they've made personal threats against them, right? They are ridiculously out of line and have distorted reality to meet their pre-determined conclusions.

    ReplyDelete
  68. What a ridiculously one-sided approach to this.

    Yes, those innocent Korean netizens reacting to Japanese nationalists. No insane Korean nationalists are patrolling the Internet, as nobody running an International site about K-pop has ever encountered them. I never see users from ... say ... Korean Sentry trolling all over blogs.

    Nope.

    ...

    And oh yeah, like has already been stated here, Korean journalism standards threaten K-pop more than anything else possibly could. Their rumor mongering and shoddy reporting is what does the damage, sites like allkpop and Soompi and whoever else just translate the garbage.

    Why do tokyohive and other Japanese entertainment sites you read not translate "negative" articles? Because the Japanese media doesn't participate in that and the tabloids there aren't respected enough to credit as news (Cyzo, etc.). It's exactly why Japanese entertainment is less interesting for me to write about, because their entertainment news is boring, with only vanilla articles about releases being written about. When a decently well-respected tabloid does publish controversial stuff, it does get run on sites like tokyohive: http://www.tokyohive.com/2010/11/shukan-bunshun-reports-je-boys-sex-scandal/. You see, the incorrect assumption here is that their sites are run by nationalistic feelings and not the color green. That assumption is propagated by delusional netizens who can't see past nationalism themselves ... and it's not a coincidence.

    But hey, don't let reality ruin the narrative.

  69. This is interesting. Most times now I don't even read the articles there but just enjoying the forums. I mostly come here or aj for my news now. At least I know i'm getting truth

  70. Koreaboo isn't boring because of neutrality, Koreaboo is boring because their articles are just unimaginative scrapings of content generated by others.

  92. But wait...doesn't AKP and all the other news sites report from the same stream of articles available on Naver and Nate?

  93. doesn't matter. I had my native and korean american friend translate some articles for me and it showed much content was wiped out leaving out facts so it biased the entire article, even making up one part to sensationalize it. They also cut down articles into parts to create more income and suspense for readers. Now that NB is out, the cat is out of the bag and AKP is being called out. Soompi NEVER credits, and when they do, i'm like wtf? why credit 1% of your articles and not 99% others? Don't get me started on them just kissing ass on every single article even though the original was completely negative against the celebrity, somehow they make even the worst exposing articles into love and flowers. I guess you have to kiss ass to get paid or something.

  100. Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your
    blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
