International fans stay relatively ignorant to the misogyny present in Korea because they are blinded by the bright and fun side of Hallyu. Especially in K-pop sexism is hugely represented.

It okay to keep Korea as a fantasy space. Maybe temporarily, but ignoring reality risks silencing real struggles. Enjoyment and responsibility can coexist if fans acknowledge both the art and the issues.
