Koreaboo

Someone who is obsessed with Korean culture so much they denounce their own culture and call themselves Korean. They usually are kpop fanatics not fans or fans of League of Legends or other competitive games popular in South Korea. However there is a line; if someone just likes the music, language and culture they are not classed as a koreaboo. John Alemu is a Koreaboo. Koreaboo is someone who does not have korean genes, live in Korea, or in another way are korean, that does basically everything to be korean. A koreaboo often does a few, all, or more than the following: 1. Doing aegyo Acting cute randomly in situations that does not call for it.

I don't think many people really understand what the difference between a sasaeng, a koreaboo and a kpop fan is. Some of you guys may argue with me but before you guys do, I would invite you to fully read the entire post before arguing. A sasaeng is an extremely obsessed "fan" personally I don't think of them as fans who would go to extreme lengths to be noticed by their biases and use questionable and often time illegal methods to stalk and invade their privacy. I also classify people who give unwanted attention or actions to their idols as sasaeng behaviour. However, that's just me.

Koreaboo

A Koreaboo is generally defined as a non-Korean person who is obsessed with Korean pop culture. Occasionally, the definition is broadened to include those who appropriate Korean culture to the point that they have surgery to make themselves look East Asian think Oli London or pretend to be Korean. Koreans opened up about what they find most disturbing about Koreaboos — although, please bear in mind that these are their personal feelings and opinions on the topic. Whenever I meet one of them for the first time, they immediately start asking me about which K-pop group I like, which idol I like, etc. What they are creeped out by, however, is when people who forget to treat them like real, living beings instead fetishizing them and their culture. In conclusion, if you are interested in my culture and language, I appreciate it. Just please have respect, treat us like real humans. Source: Koreaboo.
