High School isn’t always easy. The whole thing really feels like one overblown snafu after another, if we’re being honest. You’re far from a social butterfly. Sure you have few friends, but you spend your Friday nights watching Starcraft vods and grinding ladder instead of slamming Natty Ice’s and Vodka from a plastic bottle. Of course, things aren’t all bad. Even a quasi pariah like yourself has things to look forward when you wake up absurdly early to catch the bus. Yeah, those nine girls. The prettiest ones in school. Maybe it’s a bit ridiculous, but they all seem so perfect. Nine crushes? Some people call you a nerd, but you’re actually a pretty lucky guy.


[image loading]

The first thought you had when she showed up part way through Sophomore year was how beautiful she was. Supposedly she moved to town to attend a dance school nearby. So that’s what a ballerina looks like. You fell in love when she performed at the talent show and haven’t looked back. She’s quiet and keeps to herself, but the way she moves is hypnotic. And those moles. They reminded you of your favorite character from Kokoro Connect, Nagase. She only talks to a few girls, but the rumor going around is that she likes gaming. As if! Someone that looks like her never could be into something like that. Or maybe she could. If only you could work up the courage to find out...


[image loading]

She’s a complete goober, but that’s what’s so great about her. Back in middle school there was a viral video of her dancing at her church that got millions of views and she’s been making a loveable fool of herself ever since. Remember back in sophomore year when she wore that Charmander costume to school on Halloween? You didn’t know whether to confess your love to her on the spot or burst out laughing. Rumor going around is that she’s starting a band and she’ll be the lead singer. You used to play a little guitar. Maybe dreams can come true...


[image loading]

You’ve been friends for a long time. What, since elementary school? She’s always been loud. Just another one of the guys. But was she always this cute? For some reason you feel antsy around her these days. The short hair used to seem boyish, but now it makes her looks sort like a pixie or something. You already get mistaken for boyfriend and girlfriend all the time when you go out to eat every weekend. Maybe it’s because of the way you can’t stop laughing when you’re around her. You don’t want to screw anything up, but maybe this is a risk worth taking...


[image loading]

It was the first day of Freshman year. You were so busy staring as she climbed the steps to school, you walked right into a telephone pole and fell on your ass. Everyone was pointing and cracking up, but she just giggled and scampered off. That squeaky laugh. You still can’t get it out of your head. It’s everything that’s right in the world multiplied by one hundred. Some of the other boys say her voice is annoying, but you could listen to her talk forever. That cake cafe she always goes to is hiring. Maybe you could apply and talk to her that way. Easier said than done. She almost doesn’t seem real, you know? Like she came from one of your dreams or something. Just thinking about talking to her makes you feel tingly. Maybe you should stop by and pick up that application...


[image loading]

You kinda have a thing for short girls. She’s probably the reason why. She’s had a few hairstyles over the year, but the dimples and mole never go away. She’s a little strange and has a habit of making embarrassing faces, but it’s just another reason why she’s so adorable. She’s one of the fastest girls in school and used to run track back in middle school, but rumor has it she’s more into drawing these days. You used to paint miniatures, maybe joining the art club wouldn't be such a bad idea. After all, she’d be there. If you were brave enough you could ask her for a few tips...


[image loading]

The best thing you can figure is that she’s what happens when you combine the best parts of all your waifus into one outlandishly cute package. The first thing you noticed about her was her killer body and irresistible abs. Par for the course for the girl leading the cheers on the sidelines every Friday night, but still! As if that wasn’t enough, she has a knack for saying the most absolutely adorable things and flashing the perfect smile at the exact right moment. Rumor is she’s gunning for a career in street style dance. You don’t know much about that, but maybe if you told her you watch Kpop dance practice videos she’d be willing to show you a few of her favorite videos or something...


[image loading]

You first noticed her at the start of the second semester of freshman year when she threw her hat into the ring for school President. People said she was a long shot, but with welcoming eyes, a warm smile and a way with words, she’s a natural born leader and won the race in a landslide. There’s no one better at looking out for the school than her. She just has this serene air about her. Whether it’s speaking at assemblies, organizing school activities or popping her head into your homeroom to wish the class a good day, she inspires you to be the best version of yourself. Your grade has a field trip to a Charlie Chaplin museum planned next week, but supposedly, she’ll be stuck behind as she gets everything ready for graduation. You’ve never been that interested in acting, maybe you could offer to stay behind and give her a hand...


[image loading]

Rumor is she got held back in school for bullying freshmen and not going to class. You’re not sure what to make of it all, but what can’t be denied is that the oldest girl in school is a tempest. She’s brash and mercurial, with a smile that can switch from diabolic to innocent in the blink of an eye. She’s never seen on instagram without some kind of filter, but has this unnatural habit of unintentionally photobombing other people’s pictures with the most endearing and embarrassing expressions. 22 or 31, brash or coy, no one is really sure, but her house is just down the street from yours and you’ve seen her playing video games through her window before. She even plays that one you’re pretty good at. Maybe you should offer to help her rank up sometimes. What’s the worst thing that could happen...

[image loading]

For someone who writes a bunch of fan fics, you'd assume you'd figure out some flowery way to describe her. Something adequately majestic, angelic, regal and enthralling. But, no, only one word fits; perfect. Soft spoken and reserved, she is the epitome of a statuesque beauty. She’s only a sophomore, but everyone in school already knows who she is. She’s an expert at archery and first became everyone’s darling when she gracefully endured a dispute over which school she was supposed to compete for at states. She didn’t go to prom, but that didn’t stop her from being voted as Prom Queen at the end of her freshman year. She swept the yearbook awards soon after that. Most popular, prettiest face, best smile. If they had an award for gentlest demeanor and best posture, she would have won that too. She’s been asked out a hundred times, but she’s never been on date. If you asked, she’d probably say no, too, but just thinking about her makes you so happy that it’s enough for you. Then again, could it be that she’s been saying no because she’s looking for Mr. Right. You’ve never been Mr. anything, but maybe, just maybe...

I think the main reason we hate K/J-idol culture is that the only exposure we have to it are blogs like this. Most people are just fans who like the catchy music and attractive women dancing. However, there just seems to be a disproportionate amount of uber-fans on sites like these who go these insane fantasies and write about them.

It also seems to share a commonality with anime in the "waifu-ization" of the characters.

My impression is that it's just a really widespread troll, but its really well done. It actually pisses me off when I play a steam game against a Korean name alias with an anime/k-pop avatar. The fact that my reaction is boiling rage against these people just makes me think that it HAS to be a troll.

Life sounds difficult for you. Maybe listening to Kpop could cheer you up.

It's not that serious, you do what makes you happy dude. I just find K/J-pop culture absurd and it just so happened to be this thread that inspired me to post. This blog is like a 6/10 on the not weird -> weird scale. The waifu-ization culture is so rampant though that K/J-idols avoid getting boyfriends (at least in public) because it ruins the fantasy for their fans and can have a direct hit to their pocket books. That shit is whack.

A lot of that is the companies dictating their lives. The girls (and guys) kind of sign away their freedom to live their dreams. Idol culture is strange for sure, there are parts of it I don't even try to understand.
