I've been getting a lot of odd requests for reactions to foreign celebrities... They do come up the rankings from time to time (mostly Twilight stars or anyone in Korea for a visit) so I thought I'd just round em all up for a post. It won't be a regular feature or anything... but I hope it satisfies some curiosities.

Article: 'Les Miserables' Anne Hathaway wins best supporting actress 'tearful' [Golden Globes]
Source: Mydaily via Nate
1. [+362, -5] Wow, seriously congratulations!!! That movie made me realize that she looks gorgeous no matter what hair style she's put in. She's such a great actress ㅜㅜ
2. [+406, -50] Now this is the kind of actress that deserves an award... Instead in our country, we have bi*ches like Suzy come out and win awards... What a disgrace
3. [+332, -3] I got goose bumps listening to her sing in the beginning of the movie... She didn't have a lot of parts and I didn't know she was such a great actress until now.. So much congrats!!!!!!!!!

Article: Beyonce and Jay Z gift their daughter a doll worth $80,000?... Criticisms galore
Source: Sports Seoul via Nate
1. [+323, -13] This couple makes over $80 million a year. That's basically the same as a couple who makes $10,000 a month buying their daughter a $10 doll... We all live according to our own standards. They're buying it with their own money so why should anyone care?
2. [+237, -10] They earned that money and they're spending what they want on their kid. I don't get the problem.
3. [+203, -11] Why would anyone care how anyone else spends their money?

Article: Rumors swirl about a possible break up between Kristen Stewart and Pattinson
Source: Mydaily via Nate
1. [+151, -8] Regardless of whether they're still together or broken up, I see Pattinson in a new light after this ordeal~ I got the impression that he was a player and like any other Hollywood star his age but he's actually quite romantic towards Stewart and sees only her..
2. [+106, -10] What is up with this couple???
3. [+45, -5] They're doing fine, pictures of them having fun in London have been all over the place. I doubt the rumors about them breaking up are true! Why are our country's journalists so obsessed with this couple? Just leave them alone.

Article: Justin Bieber charged on suspicions for assaulting his body guard + nonpayment of wages
Source: Newsen via Nate
1. [+115, -3] Why does he have so many antis? I heard that his antis were in the 800 millions? Why is that? Because he wears his pants down low?
- Maybe if he picks his pants back up, his antis will go down
- I feel kind of bad for him too because he has so many antis
- I heard it's because his musical skills are exaggerated and that his only fans are young girls
- Well overexaggerated + he spends so much money on his girlfriend at such a young age
- He's also famous for cheating on his girlfriends
- Seeing as how he makes over $50 million a year, he must have more fans than antis
- That anti number is a lie. It's just that his antis really, really hate him and are vocal about it. I don't think he has that many antis. He probably has more fans.
- Maybe because they think he's gay.
- He kind of looks like a kid trying hard to look like an adult
- I didn't have any interest in him until some audition contestant sang his song. I looked it up and he's actually a good singer. Maybe he has a bad image because he's so popular and rich at a young age.
- Yeah, I second the gay theory. A lot of people said his voice was girly when he sang "Baby". Out of my 10 friends, only 1 is a Bieber fan.
2. [+62, -6] Hul, he failed to pay $400,000 in payments?
3. [+35, -5] He should pick up his pants first ㅎㅎ

This is pretty much the case for any Bieber article. Koreans have such an odd fascination with him. They're truly and genuinely curious as to why he has so many antis in the west.
2. [+406, -50] Now this is the kind of actress that deserves an award... Instead in our country, we have bi*ches like Suzy come out and win awards... What a disgrace
ReplyDeleteLOL ... whatever you say K-Netizens....
What?! Are they serious about Beiber?? Tell them we look at Beiber the same way they look at idols
ReplyDeleteDude it's bieber not beiber
DeleteThey should understand why Bieber has so many antis considering how they feel about idols
ReplyDeleteIf only they know... HAHAHA..
ReplyDeleteK-Netizens: JB >>>>>> K-Idols
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised that the kstew article doesn't have any hate in the top comments.. especially considering how conservative they are. Even in America, she gets a lot of hate for her cheating scandal
ReplyDeleteIt was probably a poor article choice on my part; I wanted to stay recent. But yeah, in the older articles, comments are majority in favor of Pattinson and calling Stewart crazy/out of her mind.
ReplyDeletethat makes more sense since Kristen is CRAZY enough to cheat on Rob...
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the view point but they tend to put K-Idols on a level lower than even Disney stars. I've seen topics about Disney stars where they were idolized by the same people bashing K-Idols in another topic. It's a weird hierachy thing where anything western is seen special and different.
ReplyDeleteyeah that sounds more likely haha. I frequent Chinese forums a lot and she gets called a slut a lot on them. I was expecting the Korean comments to be like that
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD this is so fucking interesting. I laughed out loud irl at Justin Bieber's comments. The first comment ; "Because he wears his pants down low?" HAHAHAHAHAHA i'm dying. Reading those comments, I feel like they were written by my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteJB = K-Idols.
ReplyDeleteInternational fans don't understand why Koreans hate Idols, Koreans don't understand why westerners hate beiber. The irony.
ReplyDeleteThis pretty much sums up the entirety of Netizen Buzz.
ReplyDeleteSo basically they don't get what I-fans see in idols and we don't get what they see in Beiber. Lol, that's ironic
ReplyDelete"Now this is the kind of actress that deserves an award...
ReplyDeleteInstead in our country, we have bi*ches like Suzy come out and win
awards... What a disgrace"
can't believe Suzy has haters in Korea
Jay Z: "I got 99 problems but a doll aint one"
ReplyDeleteDon't SOME Skoreans admire foreign artists? Esp Americans?
ReplyDeleteI heard that most SKoreans listen to foreign songs instead of Idol songs.
they are starting to get annoyed with her because she won 4 rookie awards this year when she doesnt really bring anything special to singing acting or variety.
ReplyDeletelol at the comments on Bieber... how you guys view your idols is how intl or american people views Justin Bieber. i'm really glad that my 'Justin', JT, Justin Timberlake is coming back ^_^
ReplyDeletewell the bieber confusion is understandable. One of the main reasons people hate Bieber is because he looks "girly". Asians are used to effeminate looking guys, so they don't understand why people in America hate the way he looks.
ReplyDeleteand I've noticed that things which target young girls are usually looked down upon in America. For example, many of my relatives in
Asia think Titanic is the greatest movie of all time, whereas in America,
it's often mocked for being a cheesy romance film
it's backlash from her overexposure this year
ReplyDeleteI wonder what koreans think of Jodie foster at the Golden globes
ReplyDelete"It's a weird hierachy thing where anything western is seen as special and different."
ReplyDeletethat's the same for anywhere in the world. pretty white people are always held in high regards.
OMG NETIZEN BUZZ PLEASE KEEP UP WITH THE ARTICLES ABOUT STARS FROM THE WEST.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU. :)
i mean why would they really compare anne hathaway to suzy.
ReplyDeletesuzy is a teen idol. like selena gomez or something
really? I thought even in America, Titanic is still considered somewhat as a classic hollywood film.
ReplyDeleteI understand why...
ReplyDeleteThey are just both being immature on both sides
I think there are many reasons...I've read some people comment he's an arrogant prick and other jokes include him as being a "baby" with a girly voice. So I think the reasons are varied when it pertains to him.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot netizen buzz. Can you continue to do this? Like a weekly dump or something?
ReplyDeletenah. it gets a lot of hate because of the cheesy dialogues + the focus on romance between 2 fictional characters. youtube 'titanic honest trailer'. that vid pretty much summarizes the general opinion for that film lol
ReplyDeletehmm is correct. Whatever is the aimed for teenage girls is usually hated by the general public as being mindless/ridiculous as people do not take what grown up women say seriously, so what do you think they'd think of what an adolescent girl thinks? See Twilight, One Direction and in the past american boy groups.
ReplyDeleteNot all girls have to like them (I do not like Bieber after his ignorant comments on abortion) but the mere fact that they are the target of adolescent girl obsessions is enough to make other people feel uncomfortable.
omg im so excited that timberlake is coming back I cannot wait!
ReplyDeletebut a majority of the hate is due to his appearance. it happens all the time to feminine looking guys in hollywood.
ReplyDeleteits crazy how elvis, justin beiber, justin timberlake, eminem and adele make millions off of copying black musicians and black music styles
ReplyDeleteanne hathaway was once a teen star as well... The Princess Diaries ;)
ReplyDeleteThe same can be said for Kpop artists.
ReplyDeleteIn Canada Titanic is considered a really good movie...
ReplyDeleteHistory lesson: Modern Music is rooted off of stealing black musicians style and music.
ReplyDeleteonly because the director was Canadian..
ReplyDeleteNot completely accurate. The male population are the ones that deem Titanic a monstrosity mainly because of the male bravado and the stereotype of action = manly, romance = pussy. Yes there are undoubtedly females who loathe the film as well, but Titanic is and will forever be considered a classic American film. It is far from being ridiculed on a national level. Maybe in future years, upcoming generations will shun the movie, but as for now it's still widely respected, even with a lot of mocking from individuals.
ReplyDeletewell basically every artist has haters when they get popular... except won bin haha even guys are gay for him lol
ReplyDeletecalling her a b**** is a bit much though
Twilight audience and Titanic audience are not equivalent. Though Titanic attracted many teens, it wasn't directed specifically towards that age group. Many people between their 20-40's and even some in their fifties because it was a "classic romance" adored that movie, you don't see that with Twilight. It is obviously directed towards the younger generation and the audience is not the main reason it's hated, it's the fact that the story line is shit alongside Kristens acting.
ReplyDeleteThey're curious why Bieber has anti's the same way we're curious why GD has so many antis. Shit just goes over everyone's heads if you're not from that country lol
ReplyDeletewhat
ReplyDeletethat's the difference I'm talking about. In Asia, even GUYS like Titanic lol it is fine for Asian guys to look feminine and watch chick flicks, but the same can't be done in America without being made fun of.
ReplyDeleteoh Knetitzens. lyou have placed a smile on ones face! espicially regarding Ann Hatheway and Beyonce!
ReplyDeletei get that and you're not lying. the thing is people call out Kpop artits espicially YG artits for being too "black" or copying america.
ReplyDeletewow this is really interesting, the reactions are so different than i would of thought. i hope to see more of these posts.
ReplyDeleteThis is very fresh. Whoever requests this, thanks LOLOL
ReplyDeleteBut America as a whole doesn't mock the Titanic, males with bravado issues do.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody is aware of why GD has so many antis, people just think the reason is ridiculous.
ReplyDelete"she's drunk"
ReplyDeleteYG is the cultural appropriating company that has a fetish for black people and everything they do.
ReplyDeleteDo Koreans not know that KStew cheated on RPattz with a married man who has kids or is that just conveniently shoved away in their minds because she's a foreign actress? If she was Korean her her career would be dead and gone. And even before that, they'd hate on her general shitty attitude anyway the way they do about Krystal or Jiyeon (not the bullying but the stage presence).
ReplyDeleteyes me too!!! ^^ #IMREADY
ReplyDeleteAmerican pop songs are popular among 20s but Korean songs and even indie music and idol songs are still much more popular.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that she cheated on her ex-boyfriend with Rob.. I'm not too surprised that she did it again =/
ReplyDeleteAh, I've loved Anne from then (Princess Diaries) and on to even now. I think she's just marvelous.
ReplyDeleteWooh! JT makes people wait dunn he. ToT I am so ready for him to get back into music.
ReplyDeleteGD had many haters even before his scandals..
ReplyDeleteI wonder... do people in South Korea admit that they're fans of any kpop group in school? Nobody will publicly admit that they are fans of Justin Bieber at where I'm from.
ReplyDeleteI find them very interesting too, but I guess she'll stick to kpop because that's what this blog is about:(
ReplyDeleteActually I dislike (Not Hate) Beiber because of her freaking delusional fan girls (that goes for many boy bands in Kpop). I mean come on he dates a girl and she gets thousands of death threats and criticism, what's worst is that he doesn't even try to CONTROL or at least send a message to his fans to have some freaking restraints. Also he has some attitude...
ReplyDeleteIt'd be nice though to have them every once in a while :) Maybe it can be a new section like the LOLs or Rumor Mill!
ReplyDeleteIt is. Though both Titanic and Twilight were geared towards an audience of 15 - 25 year olds, the thing with Titanic was the direction and acting were great therefore it received critical acclaim here in the States and it still does.
ReplyDeleteOf course every movie will have it's mocks but for the most part, people here in America consider Titanic a classic film.
OMG DYING FROM HIS SEMI-NOT-REALLY TEASER VID <3
ReplyDeleteSome do and those who do are often made fun of by their classmates, same as when I was in high school, what people would do to people who liked Justin Beiber.
ReplyDeleteLol look at that kid bieber, underaged and already have lots of tattoos, trying a lot the gangster style, what a joke
ReplyDeleteThey do and when the news first came out, they were bashing KStew as well.
ReplyDelete3. [+35, -5] He should pick up his pants first ㅎㅎ
ReplyDeleteThis and that goes to everyone else who wants to show there ass to the world.
pretty sure he isnt underage
ReplyDelete"antis" lmfao they're so cUTE OMG BIEBER ANTIS
ReplyDeleteI don't think people here care enough to be "antis"
he's just kind of a joke?
omg, they don't get bieber hate lol
ReplyDeleteand lol this comment made me laugh: "Now this is the kind of actress that deserves an award... Instead in our country, we have bi*ches like Suzy come out and win awards... What a disgrace"
I don't hate suzy but lol
And yes, they're right for beyoncé and Jay-z, it's their money, they spend it like they want.
I kind of find anyone who likes idols and hates on Bieber hypocritical. I mean, I get if you just don't like his music, but hating on him doesn't make sense to me if you like idols. They're basically the same.
ReplyDeletecan't believe Suzy has haters in Korea
ReplyDeleteyou must be new, she gets so much hate because of JYP media play.
No, thank you. I have enough of western celebrities in other sites.
ReplyDeletethe main point is to see how K-netizens react to the article, not to focus on the celebrities...
ReplyDeleteI think it's a bit much to 'dislike' someone because of their fans.
ReplyDeleteDo you also dislike Kpop boy bands then? Because kpop fans are even worse Imo.
I wonder how Korea will react to a Justin Bieber marijuana scandal?
ReplyDeleteAlso you see how Bieber is ridiculed in the west, that hows Kpop artist are thought of in Korea. Such difference of opinions between international and Korean fans *interesting*
Very interesting comment ^^
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm a kpop fan but also very into western/American music so I like this collision of the 2. Very interesting.
ReplyDeletefor them:
ReplyDeleteWhite people >>>>>> asian people >>>> Latino/Black people
Really, I'm waiting for that for a long time...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if he didn't get a GD-like response, I'm going to call double standards...
Probably because he can actually sing, while there are people like... Heechul and UEE prancing around lipsyncing.
ReplyDeletewhats up koreaboo? you should go back to allkpop then :)
ReplyDeleteyou have issues
ReplyDeleteYes I do dislike "most" Boy Bands...I only like two Boy bands actually Infinite and B.A.P but not an uber fan though... BUT even though I dislike many boy bands I wont bash them or be vocal about my dislike for them I just let them be as they are....and yes KPOP fan girls are one of the worst (PS I'm not generalizing but Most of them only) I wont name any fandoms but many Boy Band Fandoms really gets on my nerves
ReplyDeleteheechul's really not that bad at singing. his singing is better than his acting [imo, i actually think this is a lot of people's opinion but who knows] he mostly lip syncs because of the trauma he has from U promotions when his voice cracked and he got criticized harshly. [god forbid your voice cracks]
ReplyDelete[+115, -3] Why does he have so many antis?
ReplyDelete- Maybe if he picks his pants back up, his antis will go down
heechul and Uee aren't the only idols out there
ReplyDeleteyup. it's sad.
ReplyDeleteHe's a 94
ReplyDeletehe is legal except he cant drink until he 19 in canada which he will be soon i think
ReplyDelete" Yeah, I second the gay theory. A lot of people said his voice was girly when he sang "Baby". Out of my 10 friends, only 1 is a Bieber fan. "
ReplyDeleteLol umm, I'm not a Bieber fan, but even I know that since he debuted at early age, he didn't hit puberty yet lol
Now, that he's hit puberty, he sounds even more like a douche. "If I was your boyfriend, blajsdhdhsosli" lol
TRUTH!!!! :D
ReplyDeletethe hate on bieber always make me Iaugh he is not great but he young and doing what he wants. while people going around hating on him he made 50 million. He is doing something right. didn't know people were hating on Beyonce and Jay-z for buying daughter gift. anne is awesome. I want to see reaction to JT return.
ReplyDeletethere was a failed assassination on his life if that not anti then what is
ReplyDeletehttp://www.examiner.com/article/justin-bieber-assassination-hitmen-plotting-biebs-death-arrested
doubt the reaction is the same because he not korean but canadian
ReplyDeletethis so much
ReplyDeletei find the comment hilarious because that will mean most rappers or singers who wear baggy pants have alot of anti which isn't true i mean my ultimate singer was Aaliyah and she known for that style and didn't have so many hate
ReplyDeleteis it a joke ? why are they nice with international stars but are constantly bashing their own stars ? what a bunch of hypocrites !
ReplyDeletei still think it's crazier that the director guy cheated on his gorgeous model wife with kstew. [as hot as i find kstew most days i just... your wife. is gorgeous.]
ReplyDeleteWhy would they care about Justins marijuana scandal? He is not korean, so they would not care.
ReplyDeleteboth kstew and the director are idiots for doing so..
ReplyDeleteI think that's the case of young people with extreme popularity. They are hearing his name everywhere,many people praising him or talking about him,then they check him out with curious mind,then,they find him "hah,not THAT great,he's just OVERRATED" even if he's really THAT great,because that all hype around him make them have extremely high expectation for him. Then,they find out that he's even younger than them or around same age They will feel jealousy towards him which leads to hatred. BUT if that person is really likeable or have really clean record or show amazing humbleness,they won't hate him anymore or even become a fan .
ReplyDeleteWell,G Dragon & Justin Bieber are not like that. They give enough reason for the haters to hate them. Just like Taylor Swift 2 years ago & Taylor Swift we see today. She was that humble innocent girl that got bullied but become a big star,so even if people want to hate her because of all those annoying hype,they won't hate her that much. BUT now,she keep dating too many guys & writing songs about them while she keep acting innocent. so,people starting to hate her much.
I think this has to do with extreme popularity & their way of presenting themselves.
That's legal in the US, he just can't drink until he's 21 (at least in the US, unsure for Canada)
ReplyDeletenot really, i'm an international fan and i HATE k-idols.
ReplyDeleteoops, forgot to add: international fan of k-actors*
ReplyDeleteMost I-fans are not Korean but still care about K idols. I'm sure, Justin being a world known singer, has plenty of fans in Korea...of course they'll care -.- Korean ppl are not simple minded.
ReplyDelete
