New Study Finds Direct Correlation Between K-pop Concert Bans and National Puas Levels
KUALA LUMPUR - A new study released today by the fictional Institute of Advanced Puas Research has uncovered a groundbreaking discovery - the more K-pop concerts banned in Malaysia, the higher the country's overall 'puas index' goes.
Researchers found that immediately after the recent last-minute cancellation of a Mamamoo concert in KL, the national puas level spiked to an all-time high, with both government officials and religious authorities reporting extreme levels of puas.
"It seems the more young people are prevented from having harmless fun, the more puas our moral guardians become," explained lead researcher Dr. Oni B. Half. "We hypothesize it stems from a writhing cognitive dissonance between wanting to be seen as progressive and moderate, yet not being able to resist flexing authoritarian might."
The study monitored social media and found that citizens declaring "So puas!" increased by 5000% immediately following news of the ban. Researchers also discovered a correlation between citizens boasting puas levels and using terms like "madani" and "religious concerts."
When asked how higher puas levels might impact the country, Dr. Half said, "It's simple - the more puas achieved by authorities, the more average citizens get main."
Further research is planned on whether citizens can reduce national puas levels by openly mocking silly inconsistencies. But for now, scientists recommend not holding your breath.
