TV Daily via Nate1. [+1,151, -263] Male idols can get into all sorts of scandals involving marijuana, drunk driving, gambling, and plagiarism and still come out on TV just fine... but female idols get hated to death just for making the wrong facial expression or saying the wrong word. It's ridiculous.2. [+989, -293] The industry has always been excessively favorable to men. Take for example when 2PM rips their clothes off, they get praised for being beastly idols and having 'nipple parties' but when Girl's Day or SISTAR comes out in short skirts, they get called prostitutes.Even with this scandal, Sojin and Choigoon did a dumpling skit but only Sojin, the woman, got the hate. No one said a thing about Choigoon. The dumplings were merely a weapon used to hate against Sojin.When Song Minho sang lyrics demanding women to spread their legs, fans shielded him saying he apologized and enough's enough. But when Girl's Day apologized, people still ragged on them saying their facial expressions didn't look sincere and that an apology wouldn't be enough.When Nichkhun got into a drunk driving scandal and Big Bang went around with drug scandals and sexually provocative concerts, fans shielded them saying it's all an artistic performance... while Hyuna can just put up a selca and get called all sorts of nasty things like "oh look she got a new nose" or how the color of her lips looks weird.Block B can be disrespectful all they want in Thailand and fans will shield them saying they apologized so stop hurting our artists... but with T-ara's controversy, they're still getting hated to death.Taeyeon and Sulli get into attitude controversies and people question who they are as human beings but INFINITE's Sunggyu can call a woman over the age of 30 a 'yomul' and fans will get up in arms asking why you're bringing up old news or if you ever even saw the actual broadcast.Nam Tae Hyun can pay a valet with his money wedged between his fingers and fans will shield him saying his mom was paying or whatever but a female idol can get caught not smiling and she gets called a b*tch, unprofessional, told to quit her job.IU and Eunhyuk can put up a selca together but IU's the one suffering sexual jokes while Seungri gets a photo of him strangling a woman revealed and fans will defend him saying he's an adult, he's human.When their oppas get into plagiarism controversies, it's suddenly an homage, the rights were bought with money, there's no similarities... but wen a female idol gets into a plagiarism controversy, it immediately defaults to "those b*tches can't sing so they resort to stealing songs now".3. [+519, -95] The media is just as much to blame. It's obvious that some of this stuff is made up by antis but journalists will take it and run with it in the media. The media is the one contributing to controversies like this... especially if you look at the recent girl group controversies.4. [+39, -22] I watched Taeyeon's stage and I still have no idea what was such a big deal about it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ people are just quick to hate on anyone who's prettier than them, pathetic ㅋㅋ5. [+37, -21] People keep calling Taeyeon out on her attitude but she finished the stage until the end. She got witch hunted over a gif during a part that wasn't even her focus but Seohyun's solo shot and she was just putting her hair back ㅋㅋ This is her fancam, you can tell she's smiling and not unprofessional at all http://tvcast.naver.com/v/4570956. [+34, -7] Both Taeyeon and Sojin have been getting more hate ever since being involved with EXO. Both controversies are honestly not a big deal at all but they've been blown up and spread around to the point where it seems like they're trying to get their careers thrown out. But of course, people will always be more forgiving towards male idols.7. [+31, -12] I feel like Taeyeon's getting way too much hate for just a few shots of her where she doesn't happen to be smiling8. [+27, -4] It's not the same for male idols but female idols are always expected to be looking like they have a peaceful smile on their face and never even joke around with their members in case it gets interpreted the wrong way.. there are just a lot more expectations out of them. I bet being a female idol is one of the most extreme jobs in our country.9. [+19, -6] I really do feel bad for female celebrities. Taeyeon got all that hate for not smiling just that one moment. I wrote that in another article and got downvoted ㅠㅠ10. [+15, -1] Female celebrities will get hated no matter what. There's an algorithm to it. If you're pretty but not THAT pretty, people will always be hating you for it and questioning and debating whether you're pretty or not. Traditional beauties like Kim Tae Hee and Han Ga In can't be hated on for being not pretty so instead they get hated on for their acting.11. [+15, -1] Why do you think that when a female idol screws up, she gets hate, but when a male idol screws up, he gets shielded??? Because the main fanbase of female idols are men... and when men face a problem, they face it objectively and try to figure the issue out with logic. On the other hand, the main fabase of male idols are women.. and women are emotional and only think from their perspective and it suddenly becomes an issue of "I trust this idol, I like this idol, there's no way he could've done something like that, and if he did, I will find a way to be understanding"... that's why when an idol gets into a scandal, it's the female idol that gets the short end of the stick. At least in Korea, female idols need to really watch out for scandals.12. [+15, -3] Stupid fangirls are just as much to blame. Male idols get into scandals and they cover it all up for them but when a female idol does the same, they get exiled from the industry. Stupid fangirls are the root of the problem.
