Here is what some fans had to say in regards to K-pop helping them through their depression:
"For me K-Pop was like a whole different universe, so it was the only way I could escape from the madness of the world. I will be forever grateful."
"Personally, it is the overabundance of upbeat songs, combined with the fact that most established groups have released some sort of song about their struggles or to cheer up fans. But on a larger scale, it is the manufactured personalities of idols that are meant to make them seem perfect, or where their flaws are turned around and portrayed in a good light".
"When I first struggled with depression/anxiety, SHINee and F(x) were my biggest supports (with EXO and VIXX joining in a little at the end). I made a post a while ago about how SHINee's A-Yo literally saved my life and helped get me through the toughest times in my life".
"I've been fighting depression on and off since 2013, when I graduated from college. It actually took me several tries to write and map out my reply because I never really thought about how kpop affected my life, but the gist of it is that it gave me an escape. It's a different culture, in a language I don't understand, and no one I knew, aside from a few friends, had heard about it. I could go home after a shitty day at work and immerse myself in a whole new world that had no ties to my real life".
