Hello, random internet people! My name is Salem Tovar & every other Sunday, I deep dive into the latest pop culture trends/topics and examine them way too seriously to see how they affect us socially & mentally in the silly little real world beyond our screens—encouraging everyone to laugh at life no matter how serious the topic is, but also to provoke the thought that things are far more profound than they appear! Tiktok, pop culture & bbl's- no subject is too surface level for me, I will always find a way to make it deeper than it's supposed to be.

You're Not a KPop Fan, You're Just In A Parasocial Relationship...
In today's video, we will deep dive into the dark and toxic world of the kpop fandom and industry, especially the Kpop group RIIZE and member Seughan receiving thousands of funeral flowers as a protest from kpop fans to leave the group RIIZE just for having a relationship. Toxic beauty standards, the obsession, the pressure to be perfect, the crazy parasocial relationships, the expectation to have absolutely no life outside of the fans and the demand for these kpop idols, celebrities and influencers to be obedient and to be okay with this toxic behavior isn't okay, and it's time for it to stop. Parasocial relationships are on the rise with Gen Z, tiktok and so many other online fandoms and forums. People need to know, celebrities, kpop idols and influencers are here to entertain, not to be your friend.
