Oprapology

An insincere, public apology given by a celebrity to the world via an Oprah Winfrey interview. It can last anywhere from 2-3 hours and usually involves crying, hugs, pleas to fans to understand, excuses, justifications, promises to not let us down again, etc. The intent of the Oprapology is not to actually apologize, but to seek Oprah's blessing for forgiveness and salvage an already-ruined reputation.

Lance Armstrong gave an Oprapology for using performance-enhancing drugs to build a successful international cycling career, and for adamantly lying about it for years.

Term that refers to kpop fans that always defend and make excuses for male idols even when they do very problematic things such as making sexist, racist or colorist remarks or blackface. Their trademark phrase is "Oppa didn't mean it".

"Aron oppa is not sexist! he didn't mean it!" says the oppapologist after Aron from Nu'est clearly states men are superior to women.

Oppapologists are delulu kpop-fans who go to great lengths to defend their "Innocent Seungri Oppa" on Twitter and Instagram.

Some of them are even so out of touch with reality they believe The Burning Sun case is a conspiracy made by antis who are envious of Big Bang's success.

Oppapologists' reaction after the group chats have been confirmed and released to the public:

"B-BUT SEUNGRI OPPAR WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!! THE REPORTERS ARE LIARS!!! THE CHATROOMS ARE PHOTOSHOPPED!!! I BET THEY WONT EVEN APOLOGIZE WHEN HE TURNS OUT TO BE INNOCENT!!!!! #stanSeungri"
