These “koreaboos” idealize my culture and cast me as a player in their K-drama fantasies, expecting me to look and act as such.
2017, Hashir Aqeel, quoted in Sneha Joisha, "Take A Turn On The Friendship Lane", TJ Today (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Tech, Alexandria, Virginia), 22 November 2017, page 13:
Catie and Grace and Huda are kind of Koreaboos themselves.
2018, Tiana Woodard, "Students discuss meaning of 'weeaboo' and 'koreaboo'", The Daily Texan, 2 May 2018, page 8:
Although the labels have negative connotations, some still emphasize that weeaboos and koreaboos make up only a small part of the West's East Asian pop culture fandoms.
2018, Katherina O'Chee, "BTS is bigger than The Beatles", Honi Soit (University of Sydney), Semester 2, Week 1 (2018), page 19:
'Why do you listen to K-pop when you don't speak Korean?' is the recurrent question people ask with a frown. It's one that fails to recognise a double standard in music consumption, a presumption that Western pop is 'universal', listened to even by non-English speakers, while South Korean pop is is appealing only to Koreans and 'Koreaboos' (a term, often derogatory, used to describe non-Koreans obsessed with Korean culture).
The term "Koreaboo" is only really used by international people to point fingers at other international fans, which begs the question of whether Koreaboos are seen as a real problem by native Koreans.

From the thirsty LB's, to the Koreaboos waiting for their oppas, and the poor guys in Eng and IT who just want any female.
2018, Chas Monroe, "On The Concept Of Being Black Enough", Infusion, Fall 2018, page 12:
A.J., biology major: In general there's kind of a stigma around K-pop so some people automatically think you're a koreaboo* and/or weeaboo* when you mention that you like it, like you can't be a fan of non-English things without being obsessed with it.
2018, Julia Hedges, "Hopefully You've Learned Korean By Now", The New Journal (Yale University), December 2018, page 24:
I wanted to feel superior to the Kpop-obsessed koreaboos at camp who held up double Victory signs in all their pictures.
2019, Sammy Park, "Guilt and diasporas", The Tufts Daily (Tufts University), 9 December 2019, page 9:
One of the most troubling is this question of whether I consume Korean culture in the same way as the white "koreaboos" who I so frequently make fun of.
2020, "K-Drama actor Ji Soo joins Team Penshoppe", Manila Standard, 14 March 2020, page C3:
South Korean actor Ji Soo makes his way to capture the hearts of Filipino koreaboos as the newest member of Team Penshoppe.
