The “I don’t support them anymore” crowd might be the most parasocial of all

I’ve noticed a specific type of person who announces they’ve dropped Katseye, swears they’re boycotting, makes think pieces and comments about how the group is over and will be gone in a few years…and then somehow knows every single thing the members did this week. Every Instagram like, every schedule, every interview clip. They have opinions on stylist choices for performances they claim they’re supposed to be boycotting.

And the YouTube thing as well: They’ll sit through a 45-minute video essay titled “What Went Wrong With Katseye” and then a 30-minute follow-up. They’re in the comments of every think piece, every tea channel, every “the truth about” breakdown. They’ve watched more hours of Katseye-adjacent content this month than people who actually stream the songs. If you’re still tuning in for the discourse and the content to find a way to nitpick them and criticize them, you’re not actually boycotting the group. Because at the end of the day, you’re still actively engaging.

That’s not “moving on.” That’s just a new level of parasocialisn. Actual disengagement looks like forgetting they have a comeback coming, not watching their performances, avoiding their interview videos. Not writing a 600-word breakdown of why the latest concept is a misstep within an hour of the teaser dropping.

I think what’s actually happening is the parasocial attachment never went anywhere, it just flipped. Being mad at someone you’ve never met for the direction of their career and scrutinizing every tiny action is not the neutral, detached position people think it is. Anyway not saying you can’t be critical of the group and that there aren’t people who have truly disengaged from the group. From my perspective, it just seems like the people promising to boycott and saying the group will be over soon (the people who are super loud and almost repetitive about how they’re done with the group) are actually the most attached.

Fans use the slightest missteps to spew racist hate towards the girls.

People project onto these girls for every little comment they make and then instantly turn to racism in their comments section. At this point, anything they say will be misconstrued and misinterpreted to make it easier to hate on them.

And no, they’re not setting themselves up for hate; it’s not their fault they have insane parasocial antis. No amount of PR training is going to prevent these people from projecting and being racist. I don’t think a statement from HxG is even enough to cut it any more, I think people are just taking advantage of the situation to be racist.

Sophia said: We're always in the studio, we're always writing our own music in our own time. I know these girls are always doing sessions. Even though we would finish at 2 in the morning and we have a call time at 6 AM, they're gonna write a song. We're always grinding. So be on the lookout.

This is her full quote from the Q&A event. She said:

It's really hard because we're working every single day like 24/7. Guys, we rehearse so much. It's very hard to tap out of it. Especially when I'm not at work, I'm still thinking about work. And that's not healthy. It's very good to tap out of things and do like normal stuff, like go walk your dog. I don't have a dog, I don't know why I said that...Because people are mean, people are so mean, but I think also just like having each other in this whole process is really important.

Hello! I have an autoimmune disease and will be starting an in-office job soon after having been remote for a few years. Really afraid of getting sick and causing a flare up, so I’m wondering—do you ever see people wearing a mask at work? What’s the general consensus? And should I tell my manager the reasoning behind the mask if I do choose to wear one, or would that negatively affect me in any way…Thank you!
