Channels like those are infuriating. One of my first thoughts after Moonbin's passing was just how excited all those channels would get for the views. They couldn't care less. I like k-content for the actual people behind them, the community and opinions, not this content farming. I wanted to make a video exposing them, BUT EDITING TOOK SO MUCH TIME I had to stop. That's at least a team of 3-4 people. Maybe just two, because at least half their videos are direct rips from Koreaboo or allkpop, they copy everything from the images to the comment section, add some automatic capcut transitions and cutouts, and call it a day! The worst thing is once you watch a few of their videos, the suggestions NEVER leave. I started this channel to escape my old algorithm, and now I'm being shown all sorts of creators with less than 1k subs, making way better content.
I watch Kookielit because it’s a quick way to know about kpop news, but I do hate how they always talk about lame scandals and so many things that shouldn’t be news at all. I’m glad you called out how the narrator is just another passive-aggressive bully ending every single video with “aww but we hope she’s okay” or something like that. tl;dr: if anyone can recommend a better kpop news channel i’d really appreciate it!
One of, if not the only, great kpop news channel is definitely 'kpopjunkie' Really good, concise, straight to the point and the guys just has a nice vibe
YESSSS! Finally someone speaks about this. I've observed the way these k-tubers talk and present things and I also want to report BeBoss TV for doing the same shit as KOOKIELT does. This is despicable and I hope we can get these channels removed ASAP!!
Thank you for opening my eyes on this because I honesty gave in to channels like these despite all the clickbait. I swear they just copy paste all the trending allkpop articles and throw in their editing, disgusting and rude
When an Idol gains weight and no one notices or makes a vid abt it it‘s okay. Then I see these ytbers (incl. Kookielit) who talk abt it and then the hate starts on the Idol. Just let them live and not control every little bodypart if it‘s thinner or thicker.
I watched one video from kookielit and I had already knew something about the channel just wasn’t it, after watching the one video I took to simply avoiding the channel all together.
They've posted some weird stuff in the past, but I just ignored it cus I like being updated on kpop news (although I vastly prefer KPOP junkee). The newest video about Moonbin was the final straw for me. It's disgusting how many youtubers are exploiting Moonbins death for views.
It’s crazy how over the year there’s been so many videos and comments made about that channel yet I always find that the same people go right back into watching them like it never happened
Yeah, they deleted their last exploitive video after the comment section just blasted them. Keep in mind, most of the people there were subscribers, and they saw through it. Within hours that video was down only for the next day for the channel to continue on like nothing happened. The video today was talking about an EXO member who had to leave for his military service early. I remember back in the day the were one of the channels spreading false information about Soojin and her bullying scandal. Now that it's died down, they still bring her up whenever a scandal is going on in the news even though it has nothing to do with her. Soooo yeah that channel pisses me off.
I sub to KOOKIELIT channel since 4 months ago bcs i thought they're at least the most updates kpop related yt channel that i could find that day. But since March i noticed something fishy about their content. They keep on bragging about Wonyoung's body, not just wonyoung, but the body shamming content keep showing up everytime they talked about any girlgroup. Then, keeps bringing up about how lazy Wonyoung is (not just wonyoung but jennie's also), bring up the Jennie's clothing choices for BP concert, marinating something that wasn't even a huge problems, comparing some idols to another (unecessary related at anything), etc.
Kookielit is my guilty pleasure, im a relatively new fan and struggle to find trustworthy k tubers that cover k pop news. I take everything with more than a pinch of salt but I still feel guilty for watching. The only other news focused ktuber i watch is K pop junkee. Also i usually watch their coverage of historic k pop things these days inatead of the day to day news.
Freaking agree, I stop watching their videos when I noticed how info where always on a biased side and also how they "dramatize" every single thing just for views. But when I know about the moonbin video I just lost it, as a loyal aroha since their debut i felt just so mad and that was just disgusting, disturbing and disrespectful towards Moonbin. I just literally hate that channel with my whole heart.
I absolutely fell for ther trap honestly and I sub to her because I thought she's a genuine person working a big team who also likes kpop but I thought wrong
What was worse is that they posted ANOTHER video using Moonbin's death as clickbait which was just so extremely disrespectful, but all the comments called them out on it so they removed it after a couple of hours... its obvious they're a content farm which is a shame to all the creators who actually work hard on their news content
thank god somebody is saying something about it because it keeps showing up on my page with more and more sensationalistic thumbnails and titles!????? i’ve watched a few videos on X topic of the moment because i’m not on twitter so sometimes i was actually “wow a source for the news” but nowadays the title alone makes me feel like they’re weirdly pushing more hate instead of news
THANK YOU. omg they get recommended to us all the time. So darn annoying that i've developed a habit to never click into it now no matter how shocking the titles are. I especially do not like the hypocritical nice-person ending. There are also many commentary channel who only mention how bad a song is or how much they hate something to gain traffic n people eat that shit up. I wish our community is more aware or even self-aware.
The section about misinformation and making clickbait: I just want to point out that this happens all the time, take a look at a newspaper website. It's awful but it's what journalists do. The issue that I have with this is that by using clickbait they're portraying the Kpop community as liar and selfish and not how the Kpop should brand. We are kind, honest and caring fans. That's what I think is wrong with it.
I literally did not notice that i've been watching kookielit for a long time for ''kpop news''... I didnt know that they were doing it like this.. Its good that u make these videos! Otherwise id never know!
I remember clicking on few of their videos in the past being both curious and worried by the titles. After two or three videos it was super clear to me that this is just a clickbait low quality and drama stirring content similar to just tabloids. I never clicked on any other video from them cuz I didn't want to interact with such dusgusting thing. I see many others kpop related channels that I really detest for what they are evolving around and how they are providing the content. Many of them are really succesful sadly but I wish more people would have the skills to see through it and just stop feeding their views.
I agree that Kookielit is probably a content farm, and I find it highly questionable as well. It's kind of interesting as a barometer of western opinions about Kpop though, because as click bait they blatently cater to that and just repeat what people find interesting and echo what the most common sentiments are. And I do wonder if anyone pays them and if so who and why, because it seems to me they are getting very powerful and damaging to Kpop, eg by amplifying often hysterical cancel culture.
I thought nothing of it cause i don’t watch all their/her videos but you just made me realise a lot of things. I did find the body shaming content completely wrong especially when they are mentioning minors. I didn’t even see the amount of Moonbin videos….. trying to make profit out of someone’s passing is absolutely disgusting.The thumbnails didn’t sit right with me but i guess they were their to grab attention and i fell for it .Just unfollowed , it’s completely wrong what they are doing. Thank you so much for this made me realise a lot of things. I’ll be sure to be more careful when coming across chanels like these.
Honestly whoever they are, they're really good UA-camrs lmao. The thumbnails, the editing, the clickbait titles, and alarmist content made to get people to click on it. It's like they went to a masterclass on how to be a UA-camr and get a ton of views. If you've ever watched those tutorials on how to be a YTuber like changing thumbnails every day, or changing the title so forth, they've done it all. So no I don't believe they're actually Kpop fans, it's very obvious since we all know what our community is like. My theory is that they outsource (Fiverr) most of their content and just record their voice over. I bet they don't even write their own script. For news I almost exclusively watch Kpop Junkee who seems like a very grounded and respectful guy.
I’m glad that someone else definitely got content farm vibes from them. I watched a couple videos of theirs and was like “oh my god this is the prime example of a content farm”.
I have to say that I do not particularly like Kookielit. They're supposed to be reporting the news, but they include rumors in said news. Sure, they may say that they are just rumors, but still. Said rumors get the listeners into a frenzy, and you can read that in the comment section. I've criticized Kookielit in the comment section many times, and I am surprised that my comments have not been blocked or reported.
She made a video where she said that K-pop is no longer K-pop because it has spread to the western market. But through my eyes, K-pop seems to be the same even if it has spread to other regions.
Kookelit is actually the first Kpop news UA-cam channel I started following. But after I learned the truth about them I unsubscribed and stopped watching their videos. UA-cam still recommends them to me but I ignore it.
Once those Suli shorts/documentary (?) comes out on Netflix UA-camrs are going to have a frenzy of videos about Suli and her death and other kpop idol deaths for views 😩🤦🏽♀️
THANK YOU GOOOOD KOOKIELIT BE PISSIN ME OFF. They're a channel that continuously cycles stupid drama and makes idols look bad for no reason whatsoever. Like legitimately I hate that this is something they can get away with, because in some cases it actually borderlines on harassment and defamation. These types of youtubers actively make the community more toxic, which is a feat in of itself considering they're not based on twitter.
I think she made a video targeting Nancy of Momoland. She compared Nancy and whole Blackpink with the same things they wore on Stage. When it came to an yellow Chanel piece, she basically fatshamed Nancy. She praised Jennie and when it came to Nancy saying stuff like 'unfortunately due to Nancy's chubby waist'... like wtf? No hate to BP they did nothing wrong but it was an kind of weirrrrrd video. It has been taken down by now thank god.
It's easy to get into those channels. When I got into kpop, I was like 12 years old and only had UA-cam. When you tried to get some information these where the channels that where mostly recommended to you. Now a days I know, that most of them are trash, but back then it wasn't that easy to find out for me.
Well… it is a celebrity gossip channel. It’s just the k-pop edition. So I guess that’s why I don’t mind it as much. They’re going to talk about a long range of k-pop news from playful to serious. Same as any other celebrity/pop culture channel (ex: Clevver News, TheShadeRoom, etc.)
im a huge fan of zhang hao and seeing them try and profit off of a fake sexuality rumor made me so upset. he had never said anything about his sexuality and if it was true, they were giving a platform to the person who "outed" him. in the end the rumor was false, but that doesn't even matter to them since it made them money. i hope people will stop giving the channel a platform to perpetuate false rumors about innocent idols..
I know for a FACT KOOKIELIT is a ‘content farm’ I edit videos for a living and I know they put together a team on upwork to create these videos. They used to be a dropshippers and now a lot of dropshippers see the kpop community as a place to earn money. Spreading misinformation and earning money of the struggles and rumours of kpop idols. Everytime I recieve a request of one of them I decline because they are ruining our community
no but seriously i thought i was the only one who hated that channel kookielit and its crazy because i LITERALLY JUST blocked them. like less than a minute ago bc im so sick of seeing them, and i used to watch them for kpop news but i noticed a lot of times they would add their own inputs on things that was unnecessary, and or just clickbaiting. also their videos just annoyed me the way that they tended to say things that are controversial and yet still put their input in whether or not it was true or not, thats why i started listening to kpop junkee bc they speak facts, and if they dont know they will not speak on it. this person continues to talk about rumors and things that aren't true, spreading misinformation for views.
Im completely guilty of watching their channel just a month ago but after seeing the moonbin thumbnails i realized theyre no diffrent from all the other trashy clickbaiters how disrespectful can someone be seriously gross
Kookielit needs to stop exploiting Moonbin like that they have been doing this and thinking it's funny to degrade a deceased kpop idol it wasn't funny at all I'll never understand this nightmare 😒🤦🏽♀️😑
something I disliked about kookielit is how they milked the garam scandal but after she was proven innocent they did not make any videos explaining her innocence and even talked about content relating to her implying she was guilty AFTER her innocence was proven.
OOOH NO! 😲 When you played the clip of the voice I realized I watched them before. 😵💫 I feel bad also AGREE they are a company not just “a young friend group”
the amount of videos I've seen using moonbin and a random persons funeral as their thumbnail but the vid almost being nothing about moonbin is disgusting....
I've never been a fan of how Kookielit is ALWAYS talking about idols' weight. If you apparently want the weight discussions to stop, then stop batting an eye at them instead of searching through every nook and cranny for the stupidest fatshaming comments, but ofc Kookielit doesn't care and just wants to farm content. That was probably the most obvious red flag I got before the whole Moonbin thing
and don’t forget sultry film either if you haven’t done them already. all they do is talk about how horrible every comeback is and so on and it’s so annoying
I watch their news every new and the but the trash talking of idols has honestly got to me. It’s so clear that they try so hard not to have a bias towards certain situations and things, but the bias come across extremely strongly. What they’ve have said about Moonbin, Blackpink, Blinks, K-netz ect are literally quite comparable to propaganda.
I've always watched that channel until this moment. I thought it was such a quick and good way to update on any news or happenings in kpop industry🙁 i cant believe i was such a fool
All they do is give Backhanded compliment and are expert at being passive aggressive . Along with kookielit there are bebosstv amd kpop zone. So pathetic.
And not also.does she use Moonbin for clout she also is always talking about jimin (aoa) and mina (aoa) they are both grown women and hopefully mins isn't childish anymore but talking about it everyday makes it worse...if I have to do a protest about kookielite I will
I think that you should do a video about this person “slurty film” you probably seen her somewhere bc she’s a really popular and problematic k-ytber and the worst part is that pepole in the comments under her videos agree with her crazy and untrue opinions At this point I don’t even think that they (idk what gender they are) are kpop stan LMAO like they complain about EVERYTHING it’s truly blowing my mind and frustrates me so much
I remember seeing her thumbnail showing nayeon plastic surgery !!! She was in her twice Era, then she moved to BP era and that made her famous. Then She moved to BTS, which backfired since her subs were mostly armys only. She then back to BP with 7 videos and now in lesserafilm era. Haters from all the fandoms carrying that channel.
I fell for it. I subbed to their youtube because I thought they were a genuine kpop youtuber. I liked kpop so why not sub to them because they also like kpop. I'm only realizing now that they are problematic thanks to your vid.
there is a youtuber who is a kpop stan and says like "kitsch from ive was terrible" and i cant belive why they do this like and she gets at least 5k+ views on that-
I am so glad I am not the only one who sees that she is making profit of the death of moon bin. I even commented on one of those FIVE videos she made of moon bin only, a few days ago. It was completely disgusting of her to take advantage of the passing of someone. LIKE SHE KEEPS SAYING REST IN PEACE BUT WON'T LET HIM REST!!
Bro I just watch them to know what’s going on 👁👄👁️ ngl I’m starting to understand the points but I’m still kinda confused.but I started understanding what u mean more as in the “giving haters a voice”.
Kookielit has also put red on idols' faces which in Korea can be seen as a death wish towards people. Since they tell "news" about kpop they must already know that.

I started this channel to escape my old algorithm, and now I'm being shown all sorts of creators with less than 1k subs, making way better content.
I watch Kookielit because it’s a quick way to know about kpop news, but I do hate how they always talk about lame scandals and so many things that shouldn’t be news at all. I’m glad you called out how the narrator is just another passive-aggressive bully ending every single video with “aww but we hope she’s okay” or something like that.
tl;dr: if anyone can recommend a better kpop news channel i’d really appreciate it!
One of, if not the only, great kpop news channel is definitely 'kpopjunkie'
Really good, concise, straight to the point and the guys just has a nice vibe
@@sameerakhan7455 I’ll check it out, thanks!
doyuram is a great source! They have eng subtitles as well :)
YESSSS! Finally someone speaks about this. I've observed the way these k-tubers talk and present things and I also want to report BeBoss TV for doing the same shit as KOOKIELT does. This is despicable and I hope we can get these channels removed ASAP!!
Thank you for opening my eyes on this because I honesty gave in to channels like these despite all the clickbait. I swear they just copy paste all the trending allkpop articles and throw in their editing, disgusting and rude
When an Idol gains weight and no one notices or makes a vid abt it it‘s okay. Then I see these ytbers (incl. Kookielit) who talk abt it and then the hate starts on the Idol.
Just let them live and not control every little bodypart if it‘s thinner or thicker.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING THEM OUT😭😭everytime i see one of their videos pop in my feed it gets me so pissed that their sht gets so many views
THANK YOU!!!!!! Like genuinely thank you for exposing these disgusting k-tubers they need to be called out x
I watched one video from kookielit and I had already knew something about the channel just wasn’t it, after watching the one video I took to simply avoiding the channel all together.
They've posted some weird stuff in the past, but I just ignored it cus I like being updated on kpop news (although I vastly prefer KPOP junkee). The newest video about Moonbin was the final straw for me. It's disgusting how many youtubers are exploiting Moonbins death for views.
in kpop junkee we trust
Agreed
She called Irene annoying today and that was enough
they deleted there new video about moonbin. since almost all of there viewers were bashing them
Thank god, at least!
It’s crazy how over the year there’s been so many videos and comments made about that channel yet I always find that the same people go right back into watching them like it never happened
Yeah, they deleted their last exploitive video after the comment section just blasted them. Keep in mind, most of the people there were subscribers, and they saw through it. Within hours that video was down only for the next day for the channel to continue on like nothing happened. The video today was talking about an EXO member who had to leave for his military service early. I remember back in the day the were one of the channels spreading false information about Soojin and her bullying scandal. Now that it's died down, they still bring her up whenever a scandal is going on in the news even though it has nothing to do with her. Soooo yeah that channel pisses me off.
I sub to KOOKIELIT channel since 4 months ago bcs i thought they're at least the most updates kpop related yt channel that i could find that day.
But since March i noticed something fishy about their content. They keep on bragging about Wonyoung's body, not just wonyoung, but the body shamming content keep showing up everytime they talked about any girlgroup. Then, keeps bringing up about how lazy Wonyoung is (not just wonyoung but jennie's also), bring up the Jennie's clothing choices for BP concert, marinating something that wasn't even a huge problems, comparing some idols to another (unecessary related at anything), etc.
Kookielit is my guilty pleasure, im a relatively new fan and struggle to find trustworthy k tubers that cover k pop news. I take everything with more than a pinch of salt but I still feel guilty for watching. The only other news focused ktuber i watch is K pop junkee.
Also i usually watch their coverage of historic k pop things these days inatead of the day to day news.
Freaking agree, I stop watching their videos when I noticed how info where always on a biased side and also how they "dramatize" every single thing just for views. But when I know about the moonbin video I just lost it, as a loyal aroha since their debut i felt just so mad and that was just disgusting, disturbing and disrespectful towards Moonbin. I just literally hate that channel with my whole heart.
I absolutely fell for ther trap honestly and I sub to her because I thought she's a genuine person working a big team who also likes kpop but I thought wrong
I’m glad I didn’t sub.
just a reminder that kookielit has a second channel miss kdrama
What was worse is that they posted ANOTHER video using Moonbin's death as clickbait which was just so extremely disrespectful, but all the comments called them out on it so they removed it after a couple of hours... its obvious they're a content farm which is a shame to all the creators who actually work hard on their news content
Kookilet also has another channel miss-k-drama for Kdramas and she does the same on there it’s so sad she’s profiting on moonbins death
She’s just like Anna oop istg💀
sultry film already surpasses kookielit
Atleast she doesn't milk moonbins death
thank god somebody is saying something about it because it keeps showing up on my page with more and more sensationalistic thumbnails and titles!????? i’ve watched a few videos on X topic of the moment because i’m not on twitter so sometimes i was actually “wow a source for the news” but nowadays the title alone makes me feel like they’re weirdly pushing more hate instead of news
I'd suggest you to cover Sultry film next as its really baffling how much the creator is obsessed with blackpink lmao-
And don't forget her weird thumbnails..
She uses clickbait thumbnails and titles but some points she makes r valid imo
these people hate everything in life or wht . how do they find problem in everything. nd this davediscivlogs disgusting thumbnails and titles
Blinks are so soft💀
nah, she does have a point sometime but she needs to stop being so hateful like chill
i was really into it before :( tysm for showing the facts and truth !!!!!!! subbed
THANK YOU. omg they get recommended to us all the time. So darn annoying that i've developed a habit to never click into it now no matter how shocking the titles are. I especially do not like the hypocritical nice-person ending. There are also many commentary channel who only mention how bad a song is or how much they hate something to gain traffic n people eat that shit up. I wish our community is more aware or even self-aware.
The section about misinformation and making clickbait: I just want to point out that this happens all the time, take a look at a newspaper website. It's awful but it's what journalists do. The issue that I have with this is that by using clickbait they're portraying the Kpop community as liar and selfish and not how the Kpop should brand. We are kind, honest and caring fans. That's what I think is wrong with it.
I literally did not notice that i've been watching kookielit for a long time for ''kpop news''... I didnt know that they were doing it like this.. Its good that u make these videos! Otherwise id never know!
I remember clicking on few of their videos in the past being both curious and worried by the titles. After two or three videos it was super clear to me that this is just a clickbait low quality and drama stirring content similar to just tabloids. I never clicked on any other video from them cuz I didn't want to interact with such dusgusting thing. I see many others kpop related channels that I really detest for what they are evolving around and how they are providing the content. Many of them are really succesful sadly but I wish more people would have the skills to see through it and just stop feeding their views.
I agree that Kookielit is probably a content farm, and I find it highly questionable as well. It's kind of interesting as a barometer of western opinions about Kpop though, because as click bait they blatently cater to that and just repeat what people find interesting and echo what the most common sentiments are. And I do wonder if anyone pays them and if so who and why, because it seems to me they are getting very powerful and damaging to Kpop, eg by amplifying often hysterical cancel culture.
I thought nothing of it cause i don’t watch all their/her videos but you just made me realise a lot of things. I did find the body shaming content completely wrong especially when they are mentioning minors. I didn’t even see the amount of Moonbin videos….. trying to make profit out of someone’s passing is absolutely disgusting.The thumbnails didn’t sit right with me but i guess they were their to grab attention and i fell for it .Just unfollowed , it’s completely wrong what they are doing. Thank you so much for this made me realise a lot of things. I’ll be sure to be more careful when coming across chanels like these.
Honestly whoever they are, they're really good UA-camrs lmao. The thumbnails, the editing, the clickbait titles, and alarmist content made to get people to click on it. It's like they went to a masterclass on how to be a UA-camr and get a ton of views. If you've ever watched those tutorials on how to be a YTuber like changing thumbnails every day, or changing the title so forth, they've done it all. So no I don't believe they're actually Kpop fans, it's very obvious since we all know what our community is like. My theory is that they outsource (Fiverr) most of their content and just record their voice over. I bet they don't even write their own script. For news I almost exclusively watch Kpop Junkee who seems like a very grounded and respectful guy.
I’m glad that someone else definitely got content farm vibes from them. I watched a couple videos of theirs and was like “oh my god this is the prime example of a content farm”.
Thank you so much!! i always hate them, but when i go to the comment section no one seem to notice how toxic they are.:(
I have to say that I do not particularly like Kookielit. They're supposed to be reporting the news, but they include rumors in said news. Sure, they may say that they are just rumors, but still. Said rumors get the listeners into a frenzy, and you can read that in the comment section. I've criticized Kookielit in the comment section many times, and I am surprised that my comments have not been blocked or reported.
when she started going anti-Garam before it was exposed that she was falsely accused I had the ick.
i agree with u sm omg and this is off topic but why is ur voice so relaxing, like i love it sm-
thanks haha 🌼
She made a video where she said that K-pop is no longer K-pop because it has spread to the western market. But through my eyes, K-pop seems to be the same even if it has spread to other regions.
glad to see someone speak out about them. i saw them several times defend celebrities who messed up and it never sat well with me.
Thank you for voicing this out:(
We should mass report that channel fr
Kookelit is actually the first Kpop news UA-cam channel I started following. But after I learned the truth about them I unsubscribed and stopped watching their videos. UA-cam still recommends them to me but I ignore it.
Once those Suli shorts/documentary (?) comes out on Netflix UA-camrs are going to have a frenzy of videos about Suli and her death and other kpop idol deaths for views 😩🤦🏽♀️
It’s crazy how KOOKIELIT has this many people upset. Like it’s honestly baffling
THANK YOU GOOOOD KOOKIELIT BE PISSIN ME OFF. They're a channel that continuously cycles stupid drama and makes idols look bad for no reason whatsoever. Like legitimately I hate that this is something they can get away with, because in some cases it actually borderlines on harassment and defamation. These types of youtubers actively make the community more toxic, which is a feat in of itself considering they're not based on twitter.
I think she made a video targeting Nancy of Momoland. She compared Nancy and whole Blackpink with the same things they wore on Stage. When it came to an yellow Chanel piece, she basically fatshamed Nancy. She praised Jennie and when it came to Nancy saying stuff like 'unfortunately due to Nancy's chubby waist'... like wtf? No hate to BP they did nothing wrong but it was an kind of weirrrrrd video. It has been taken down by now thank god.
It's easy to get into those channels. When I got into kpop, I was like 12 years old and only had UA-cam. When you tried to get some information these where the channels that where mostly recommended to you. Now a days I know, that most of them are trash, but back then it wasn't that easy to find out for me.
Thank you for this I actually complained but no body gave a F and they just blocked me and I'm like wtf btw that's why you are my fav k tuber
Well… it is a celebrity gossip channel. It’s just the k-pop edition. So I guess that’s why I don’t mind it as much. They’re going to talk about a long range of k-pop news from playful to serious. Same as any other celebrity/pop culture channel (ex: Clevver News, TheShadeRoom, etc.)
yeahhh this is why i stay away from the kpop fandom most of the time
im a huge fan of zhang hao and seeing them try and profit off of a fake sexuality rumor made me so upset. he had never said anything about his sexuality and if it was true, they were giving a platform to the person who "outed" him. in the end the rumor was false, but that doesn't even matter to them since it made them money. i hope people will stop giving the channel a platform to perpetuate false rumors about innocent idols..
I know for a FACT KOOKIELIT is a ‘content farm’ I edit videos for a living and I know they put together a team on upwork to create these videos. They used to be a dropshippers and now a lot of dropshippers see the kpop community as a place to earn money. Spreading misinformation and earning money of the struggles and rumours of kpop idols. Everytime I recieve a request of one of them I decline because they are ruining our community
no but seriously i thought i was the only one who hated that channel kookielit and its crazy because i LITERALLY JUST blocked them. like less than a minute ago bc im so sick of seeing them, and i used to watch them for kpop news but i noticed a lot of times they would add their own inputs on things that was unnecessary, and or just clickbaiting. also their videos just annoyed me the way that they tended to say things that are controversial and yet still put their input in whether or not it was true or not, thats why i started listening to kpop junkee bc they speak facts, and if they dont know they will not speak on it. this person continues to talk about rumors and things that aren't true, spreading misinformation for views.
Im completely guilty of watching their channel just a month ago but after seeing the moonbin thumbnails i realized theyre no diffrent from all the other trashy clickbaiters how disrespectful can someone be seriously gross
i used to watch them, and I never even noticed. This video made me realise that, thank you !! 🐈
The delusion in Kookielit's videos speaks for itself
She is disgusting
Kookielit needs to stop exploiting Moonbin like that they have been doing this and thinking it's funny to degrade a deceased kpop idol it wasn't funny at all I'll never understand this nightmare 😒🤦🏽♀️😑
Honestly I can agree with you I used to watch them before finding the true about them thank you for making this & oh take care :)
I'm hoping that will be episode three kookielit!
something I disliked about kookielit is how they milked the garam scandal but after she was proven innocent they did not make any videos explaining her innocence and even talked about content relating to her implying she was guilty AFTER her innocence was proven.
OOOH NO! 😲 When you played the clip of the voice I realized I watched them before. 😵💫 I feel bad also AGREE they are a company not just
“a young friend group”
the amount of videos I've seen using moonbin and a random persons funeral as their thumbnail but the vid almost being nothing about moonbin is disgusting....
Damn thank you for this video. I will unsubscribe them asap. I alsp did realize they have some patterns and also have lots of clickbaits
Great video
Hope to see you discuss beboss tv in your next part of this series
I've never been a fan of how Kookielit is ALWAYS talking about idols' weight. If you apparently want the weight discussions to stop, then stop batting an eye at them instead of searching through every nook and cranny for the stupidest fatshaming comments, but ofc Kookielit doesn't care and just wants to farm content. That was probably the most obvious red flag I got before the whole Moonbin thing
and don’t forget sultry film either if you haven’t done them already. all they do is talk about how horrible every comeback is and so on and it’s so annoying
I watch their news every new and the but the trash talking of idols has honestly got to me. It’s so clear that they try so hard not to have a bias towards certain situations and things, but the bias come across extremely strongly. What they’ve have said about Moonbin, Blackpink, Blinks, K-netz ect are literally quite comparable to propaganda.
I've always watched that channel until this moment. I thought it was such a quick and good way to update on any news or happenings in kpop industry🙁 i cant believe i was such a fool
All they do is give Backhanded compliment and are expert at being passive aggressive . Along with kookielit there are bebosstv amd kpop zone.
So pathetic.
And not also.does she use Moonbin for clout she also is always talking about jimin (aoa) and mina (aoa) they are both grown women and hopefully mins isn't childish anymore but talking about it everyday makes it worse...if I have to do a protest about kookielite I will
And unfortunately, this type of thing is what shapes and drives the opinions of many who think they are hearing the reported truth
KOOKIELIT is like anna oop but only k-pop news-
i used to watch KOOKIELIT but i found out that it was just a content farm
I think that you should do a video about this person “slurty film” you probably seen her somewhere bc she’s a really popular and problematic k-ytber and the worst part is that pepole in the comments under her videos agree with her crazy and untrue opinions
At this point I don’t even think that they (idk what gender they are) are kpop stan LMAO
like they complain about EVERYTHING
it’s truly blowing my mind and frustrates me so much
I remember seeing her thumbnail showing nayeon plastic surgery !!! She was in her twice Era, then she moved to BP era and that made her famous. Then She moved to BTS, which backfired since her subs were mostly armys only. She then back to BP with 7 videos and now in lesserafilm era.
Haters from all the fandoms carrying that channel.
Queen of “according to netizens”
Idky this is so random but I’m in love w ur voice it’s so soothing 💗 But your so real for calling kookilet
thanks haha 🤍
I thought I was the only one who hated that channel. it only generates misinformation
That channel always confused me. The tone is heavily emotive but they trash talk.
Should i quit watching kookilite?? Ive been watching her for awhile
Thank you so much for opening this to me i had no idea😊
I fell for it. I subbed to their youtube because I thought they were a genuine kpop youtuber. I liked kpop so why not sub to them because they also like kpop. I'm only realizing now that they are problematic thanks to your vid.
there is a youtuber who is a kpop stan and says like "kitsch from ive was terrible" and i cant belive why they do this like and she gets at least 5k+ views on that-
Ive tried to block them again and again but i keep getting them in my recommendeds 😭😭😭 like im so sick of it
Literally I was thinking about it during that time, everybody would put fake videos of his relatives and friends crying just for attention like..jesus
I am so glad I am not the only one who sees that she is making profit of the death of moon bin. I even commented on one of those FIVE videos she made of moon bin only, a few days ago. It was completely disgusting of her to take advantage of the passing of someone. LIKE SHE KEEPS SAYING REST IN PEACE BUT WON'T LET HIM REST!!
Bro I just watch them to know what’s going on 👁👄👁️ ngl I’m starting to understand the points but I’m still kinda confused.but I started understanding what u mean more as in the “giving haters a voice”.
please don’t tell me you still unironically use ‘👁️👄👁️’ 😭.
@@chaettos yes,yes I do…..
@@Serenaisverytired oh erm gee 😟!..
I've been canceling the kookielite channel long ago. thanks for this video i'm totally agree
Kookielit has also put red on idols' faces which in Korea can be seen as a death wish towards people. Since they tell "news" about kpop they must already know that.
And what upsets me most is that they never post about exo unless it’s fake rumors or hate towards them.
I have reported kookielit countless times because of the amount of hateful content they upload. It’s disgusting honestly.
