I was once an avid kpop MV viewer. I used to watch them enough that despite not knowing any korean I still knew the korean lyrics to a lot of my collection. Anyway, recently I had a friend get back from doing some ESL teaching in korea and I managed to add another 100 or so videos to my collection from him. I got them running on my second screen while I did some work and I had this strange feeling. I'm still not entirely sure about what it was but the closest word that I can link to the feeling is "depressed". I get that feeling anytime I watch kpop nowadays and it's started getting worse. Even when I think of kpop I start getting the feeling.
I live in an area about half an hour north of the northern Sydney suburbs where the population is made up of 98% white Australians, 1.9% Indians (there's this one suburb where everyone who lives there are Indian), and the remaining 0.1% of the people would probably come under the title of "other" simply because there is not enough of any one culture to get their own little part of my internal pie chart. So there are about 2 asian girls in the same age group as me and I have dated both of them. Because of the fact that there are so few asian girls in my area I don't get that feeling too much when I walk through the local shopping centre. That's why when I actually go into Sydney I have to constantly remind myself that driving into oncoming traffic is counter-productive.
I went down to Sydney last night for a barcraft event for the GSTL finals (was pretty amazing) and just walking through the streets of the city gets that feeling going inside of me. So many good looking asian women compared to the where I live. Entire gaggles of them even. It gets to the point where I'm not even depressed anymore, I'm just plain mad. Driving home I'd hope that there were no asian women walking on the side of the road because it would just make me feel so sad.
The reason why I'm telling you all this is because I'm wondering if any of you have an answer for this feeling. How do I stop it? I want to be able to watch kpop, I used to enjoy it so much but now I just can't.
+ Show Spoiler +I think this is what started it: and it's songs like this that make me want to kind of just lie down and not get up for a while: Dem sailor uniforms :3
+ Show Spoiler +
After reading through this I realise how crazy I sound. I don't actually only like asian chicks, it's just that the girls in the kpop groups are so amazing that simply the fact that I can't be with them makes me feel like shit (yes, even Hyorc and the manly rapper girl in each group). Hell even male kpop challenges my sexuality which is the main reason I don't watch those MVs anymore.
Just to clarify; I have been in relationships with white girls too, that's just not what this is about so I didn't mention it
TLDR: GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY

i still can't find the connections between the "cute asian girls you saw on the streets" and "you can't watch kpop anymore". So basically you watch kpop not because of the musics, just because you think the korean girls are pretty???

Perhaps assessing women for traits other than physical beauty would help. Not that looking pretty isn't important but females have a lot more to offer than that.

this whole thread is ridden with depressing things

hmm why don't you try moving to a more azn filled area? u got the yellow fever bad keke

Yellow Fever at its finest... I feel for you

As I mentioned in the OP I realised how crazy I sounded after writing that. I only have yellow fever in the sense that I like beautiful asian girls as much as I like any other beautiful girl. I don't exclusively like asians.
Also, I'm not shallow enough to only go for looks in a girl but I'm not stupid enough to think that looks don't count for anything in a relationship.

But I've never been to South America or Africa...
Maybe it's spread to Australia too now. Quick someone alert the authorities!

I love the music for a lot of the groups as well. I mentioned the girls on the streets (now they just sound like prostitutes) to show that it's getting worse, it is no longer confined just to the kpop.

Can someone explain this "yellow fever" joke? Just an attraction to Asian women?

Pretty much. I wouldn't call it a joke, its just more of a colloquial expression imo.

i'm asian and i can't really stand some asian chicks. my neighbourhood is about 45% asian (not even joking) and it's like eh.
a lot of asian chicks are like immigrants and have that fresh off the boat personality. materialistic, spoiled, cares about appearance too much. i can't stand it. if they're engrained into western culture like i am then i don't mind it.
but an attractive girl is an attractive girl idc about race. i'd even say theres a better ratio of hot white chicks to hot asian chicks.

Yellow fever is a term used to describe white guys who prefer asian girls.
Heh, I'm an asian guy so I can totally understand how u feel!
