Six Things You Should Probably Never Check Out

Now I've been in Kpop world long enough to know that there a lot of pointless yet terribly addictive things you can get yourself involved in. Some of these are so fucking cringeworthy, but in the best possible way. And once you're caught in the whirlwind, it's unlikely for you to be able to get out again. I, my friends, have learned this the hard way. So now, being the Saint that I am, made this article to tell you not to do the same mistakes I did. If you know what's good for yourself and your children, you might wanna steer away from this stuff, no matter how tempting it can be. Here are six things in Kpop/the Kpop Community that you should probably never check out. If you already have then... may the odds be ever in your favor, my deepest condolences to you, your friends and your family.




I have ranked this in order of the least pointless to most pointless, although they all come pretty fucking close.

6. Unpretty Rapstar

Unpretty Rapstar in a nutshell: the rapping is shit, it's about as authentic as Park Bom's face, obviously fabricated "drama" is obviously fabricated and forced out of a constipated butthole, 95% of this show is random overly-dramatic close ups on everyone's faces. If you were to think of Season Two, just double all of the above. Heck, the only redeeming thing about this whole show is San E and his legendary derp faces.

But does that mean I'm gonna stop watching it? Hell no. Unpretty Rapstar is the reason I flunked my biology exam, because, apparently, Chanyeol was "doing hip-hop" that day, cursing "motherfucker" and taking his fans to "Hong Kong", as it were. Who gives a shit about some stupid exam that's probably the deciding factor of your future? Psshhh.

5. Korean Variety Shows

Frankly, everything about Korean Variety shows is just so fucking cringe-worthy. The humor, the excessive overuse of captions (seriously, pause the video at any second and the probability of there not being a fucking bright-ass caption across the screen is about 0.0000000001), and the replays. The motherfucking replays. It's fine the second time, maybe even the third time. But replaying the same damn scene five consecutive times is just plain offensive. It's kind of like they're telling you, "You're a dumb bitch, and I need to replay this part five times for you to know what the fuck is going on". Or you know what, maybe it was one of those extremely rare times when something actually, genuinely funny happened. And they're gonna fucking jump at that chance. I'm sorry variety show producers, but repeating the same damn joke five consecutive times kills the joke. Now I wouldn't say Korean variety shows are addictive (well sometimes they can be but not to a fucked up level), but they are pointless as shit and will make you wanna put a bullet through your head. You have been warned.

4. Reaction Videos

Because who doesn't wanna watch a bunch of random people react to some video in the lamest and most exaggerated way possible? Reaction videos are literally one of the stupidest things to ever exist. They aren't even entertaining. But does that mean you're gonna stop watching them?

Basically, this is how it goes; you watch a video and you go like, "Oh my Gosh, I just watched this really weird/awesome/creepy/wtf-worthy video, I wonder how other people reacted to it!" Seriously, it's fucking ridiculous how many videos I watched of people reacting to Luhan's "Lu". And I am so ashamed of that fact.

That being said, this one's my favorite:

3. Fanfiction

Curse you tumblr, curse you asiananfics.com. You are the reason why I basically have no life anymore. Out of everything on this list, fanfiction has to be the most addicting out of them all. Granted, there are some really well-written ones out there, but once you start reading them, it's close to impossible that you'll ever stop. It's like a fucking bottomless pit. Basically this is what the world of a fanfiction addict looks like:

You're just floating around in an endless realm of smutty fanfics with nothing to hold on to and nothing to pull you out. You're a freakin' goner. If you haven't gone near the fanfiction scene yet, you're golden! Stay in your lane. Don't end up like us...

2. Crack Videos

Whoever makes these crack videos are literally the definition of genius. Crack videos are hilarious, mindbogglingly creative and terribly addicting. Once you watch one, you're stuck in a chain reaction of watching more and more on that goddamn, godforsaken 'suggestions' bar on YouTube that is the reason many of us are wasting our lives. Crack videos are my guilty pleasure. I wake up in the morning and sleep at night to this shit. 

Ah the Lay-being-high-on-crack-24/7 jokes never get old.

Notice how these are all EXO crack videos. Yes, I'm an EXO fag. Deal with it. Also, I'm aware I told you guys not to check out this stuff but I just linked these videos here for, you know, demonstration purposes.

Fortunately enough, crack videos are just a phase thing. You'll have this phase where you'll keep watching them all the damn time but you'll eventually get over it and just watch them casually from time to time for a good laugh. Or that's my case at least.

1. Reaction Videos to Crack Videos

Yes, this exists. And yes, this deserves a category of its own. Like, this is just on a whole other level of stupid. I will never get the science behind wanting to know how random people you've never seen or met before and are not even close to being popular or well-known reacted to something you watched. Reaction videos are dumb, and the people who watch them are even dumber.

*Guiltily raises hand*

That being said these aren't even funny or entertaining in the slightest, they're just pointless, hence making it to the top of this list. Congrats. I guess.

So yeah that was my list of six pointless things you should probably never check out. What I wrote is purely out of personal experience, so it might be different for you. Anyways, let other people know in the comments below if there's anything else I haven't mentioned in this list, and please feel free to share your experiences, too. Do it for the greater good of humanity. Save others from the brutality of these temptations. It is not too late to make this world a better place
