Honestly in a way they do have it hard coz there is so much baggage when they enter the industry due to the family connections. They are expected to behave and perform at certain level otherwise they will be trolled and called out right away versus the unknown newcomers aka outsiders have a clean slate and are able to create their own space and individuality without any comparisons.
BUTTT having said all that, there are multiple reasons why these nepo kids are being bashed or called out so often these days.
1. They all act privileged in your face rather than being thankful and accept the fact that they are indeed lucky to get these big breaks and more than one chance.
2. The amount of nepo kids debut that happened in the last few years. it seemed like they all bombarded at the same time and started behaving and dressing like one another.
3. Their aggressive PR tactics and same styling game. It sincerely doesnt help that every single one of them dress and sound exactly the same. they all are groomed in a similar fashion, walk and talk the same way so its hard not to troll them. I mean that reporter wasnt wrong when she straight up said that everyone these days talk like Bebo
4. It doesnt help at all that most of them provide WTF statements from time to time and it all just keeps piling on. In this digital age, literally nothing goes unnoticed so too bad they cant just delete public's memory unlike yesteryears.
5. The insane amount and constant favoritism that Nepo Papa Jo has showcased and still continues from time to time has only created negativity in public's mind. His Alia jaap has gone over the board and it refuses to stop which in turn has rubbed off bad on others too so all the nepo kids get trolled bad. it doesnt help that most of these nepo kids themselves dont give much chance to the audience to defend them with their actions.
