[@TraceySmith3563]

Yes. You're 100% correct. Unfortunately, kpop attracts obsessive, delusional fans who see them as "gods", and not human beings who need correction and direction. There's responsibility that comes with being an "idol". You don't get a pass, just because you don't know anything about life outside of your bubble.

[@SSSS-wq4vn]

ang del she called all Asian girls basic and safe looking and flat out said they want to look this way. She just co-signed on a stereotype about Asian women. Women are beautiful rather they choose a natural look or a more glamorous look. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look natural/basic if that's your preference. She can be a role model to Asian women who want to be more glamorous but no need to insult them. She said nothing wrong it's just how she said it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@ciaocieli]

but a lot of Asian girls are basic tho, especially asian girls who come from their mainland and study abroad. They all look the same because their style are so similat etc make up, clothes, and those little gesture they do sometimes. It doesn't mean other races dont do the same its just Americans tend to have an image on what Asian girls usually is ( consediring she did the interview in America)

[@pokpakganern5791]

I agree. The words that come off from a person's mouth is a revelation of his/her way of thinking or mentality. I'm sick of people excusing shitty acts like this, "He is an idol, he is flawed and a human being too." Bishhh I'm as ordinary as can be but I don't talk shit to any gender like what he just did. And by saying that, didn't he realize that any girl would get offended by saying that girls are nice things to look at, ONLY if they shut their mouths and keep their opinions to themselves. THIS IS YEARS OLD BUT THIS IS WRONG.

[@crystallovingfairy1]

Aron's comment idk I laughed cause in some ways it's true. BTW I'm a queer girl in a relationship with a girls AND most of my friends are girls. btw he's didn't say "... but damn you open your mouth and.." HE SAID "..but like you guys like to gossip a lot" Which is true of most girls

[@renwhereyouat9759]

Alongside with Shindong, it doesn't mean that you should lose weight just because you're a woman. If i were to tell a man to get abs just because his gender is a male, You be offended right?

[@xorih1089]

Jamiezing'sWorld it's not even about knowing about the history of blackface or anything either, it's about using your common sense. Like I'm sure that 99.99% of the many idols and other Korean celebrities that have done blackface would have been offended by someone slanting their eyes or painting themselves yellow to imitate an Asian, they would be offended. So they should have the common sense to not do it to other races!!

[@louie24el]

XORIH In my opinion, since Korea is not well in English language they don't really understand that. So I think ignorance is stil a factor. I think it's the same way with Americans when they get mad at Korean fans who lash out on their idols just because they went to the club or had some scandals that would be perfectly normal in America. Vice Versa, Koreans have cultures/law that foreigners, especially non-Asians can't understand, in the same way, foreign countries have cultures/law that Koreans can't understand or are ignorant about.

[@raycefarelle6477]

“She is pretty for a black person” is a product of mistranslation. “Heugeen chingoo jungmal numoo yebbojoh” or " 후긴 친구 정말 너무 예븐" (In Korean) is what Taeyeon said, where the rough translation is: “Our black friend is pretty”. Breaking it down it's basically Black person (후긴 [not entirely sure on the exact spelling] 친구 (friend) 정말 (very) 너무 (really/too much) 예븐 (pretty) : "Black person friend very really pretty" (I have this checked with multiple native Korean speakers. More than welcome to confirm it with your own sources). Personally there is none of the suggested racism in the sentence much like the 'more popular' translation that's circulating everywhere like the one mentioned earlier in this comment or in this video. Is she right in even mentioning the race or the physical attribute of the person in question when talking about her beauty? Maybe not. Is what she said not racist at all? Maybe not. How you interpret a sentence is a product of the values, principles, common sense, agendas, etc., of your own. By shedding some light on the translation of what Taeyeon said, I hope people will realize that what is said in this video (and on other platforms such as Kpop news sites or forums) is a translation that is incorrect and seems to be geared to cause a misunderstanding (personal observation based on the mistranslation and sites read). Whether she is right or wrong based on the translation above is open to interpretations.

Zico's wasn't that bad. He wasn't trying to mock, he was just saying he would like to help but he only had $7 on him. And CL saying a lot of Asian girls are 'basic' is true. It's very common to find Asian girls, particularly east Asia, that tend to be 'safe'. She wasn't being rude.

She's not lying when she says that

[@tryingduck5243]

i actually don't see why they shouldn't be offended by CL's comment, like they do have a reason to be. Lol, like using the word 'basic' to describe 'a lot of asian girls' like the fuck CL? It was a breezy response and gave off a holier than tho feeling. She's a fantastic artist, but her style isn't the definition of being a bold person, it felt like she was forcing her brand of music and style to dictate what bold and cool is. Not to mention she's dissing a whole culture and lowkey insulting other artists who don't follow her style. Like, she's a great artist, but she needs to get off her high horse.

i don't get why some of you are defending these acts... they're all considerably offensive in their own ways and none of them can be brushed off easily. stop treating idols as if they're damn angels, and start treating them like you would with other people (not saying you should bash them or call them out for things in the past, but, still)

[@kyophi]

pearly wearly is it okay for people to defend them if other people are saying and judging them wrongly and just saying what the idol is really meaning to say? And i do agree with this

[@atiyaha8191]

Okay but some of them are genuinely not their faults. Like Bambam only said the n word because black people in America throw that word around loosely and it can often confuse foreigners in America. Along with that, the underage drinking is different in Korea compared to America so Yugyeom shouldn't have been blamed for that in the first place.

[@sungoldish]

I always thought Zico's comment could be a clap at their company. Being an idol doesn't make you rich and they aren't know for having a lot of money. They wear nice things, but a lot of them are rented or borrowed. I don't think he meant it as "I can only give money and all I have is $7." I FEEL that it was more of a "I am really busy and being overworked AND I only have $7 to my name."

[@fahl_1212]

I consider myself impartial when kpop idols screw up, but I get mad everytime I see this Zico's controversy. To me, he was just saying how much money he had, not laughing at the victims. It was funny at the moment because it was a low quantity, again, not because of the tragedy. This whole thing was overreacting.

[@daizy8429]

Zicos comment wasn't offensive to me, he joked about the money he could donate, not about the people or the disaster. Cl's comment was honest and respectful, I don't see anything wrong with it. chanyeols comment seemed like a joke to me. If anyone should be mad about it, it would be kai and he didn't seem to take it as an insult. I often joke about my skin colour with friends to, it's just what friends do honestly - if kai doesn't see it as offensive and can joke about his skin colour then it's totally fine. the ones I find disgusting is that guy that said he would hit his daughter . what kind of psycho?? I mean I would have seen it as a joke, if he only said "I would have to lock my daughter at home bc the world is too dangerous" totally fine as a joke, but the way he said it?? That's wrong on so many Levels and then also how he said that he would treat his son so much better? Get some help dude smths wrong in your head.

Also the "she's pretty ... for a black girl" is a rlly unnecessary, stupid comment.

[@anamikasingh265]

It isn't just the only time, though. He (Chaneyoel) asked Kai whether he wanted to go for skin whitening, made their animated pictures using some animation app and specifically made Kai and Tao darker than the rest. Kris made a drawing of every EXO member and specifically drew Kai and Tao with black marker. D.O had drawn every EXO member's pictures and coloured Kai's picture black. Baekhun revealed that he has saved Kai's name as "Blackie" in hjs contacts. I'm shocked that he can put up with so much (I feel bad, he's my EXO bias). They were just being plain ignorant.

Actually, the scandal involving Got7 was mostly caused by Mark's "friends". These "friends" told Bambam that the N-word actually means "brother" or "friend". Seeing that these friends were Mark's, Bambam immediately believed them. I don't know about the issue with the other girl in the video saying the N-word, but I'm pretty sure it was not used to hurt someone. To those in the comment section saying that context is not important as long as you use the slur word, then please reevaluate. These idols are not like us who can freely surf the internet as we like, these idols have strict schedules that they must follow. And if they were seen using the internet, they use it to interact with fans or anything that involves their career(eg: their company, music, other idols, etc) or maybe also for entertainment(I find it hard to imagine that the slur word would be involved in this but whatever). Anyway, these idols are also humans who, unfortunately, made mistakes in front of camera. I understand that you were upset by their lack of awareness, but in both cases, the two idols already apologized. ALSO! The issue about Yugyeom's underage drinking was really vague. You see, there were no official statement that Yugyeom was drunk. Yugyeom being drunk was only a speculation because of how clumsy(??) Yugyeom looks as he move. There were also no actual footage/evidence of Yugyeom drinking(maybe because he didn't drink). There are some rumors that Mark's friends were also behind this. Not to mention that they were also the ones who uploaded that snapchat of Bambam and Yugyeom. If you're not convinced that Yugyeom didn't drink, I'll have to mention that they were in a party conducted by Mark's parents. I've read somewhere that underage drinking is okay as long as you have supervision/permission from an adult. My english sucks but hey, as long as you understand lol

The thing that made me upset was Shingdong and Teen Tops words.It was absolutely disgusting on what they thought of.Saying that girls should loss weight , its not important he needs to understand that before saying something he should look at himself.Teen top was none the less how could he have such thoughts for her daughter?

[@la1panxa1love]

I wasn't going to comment, because I was looking for someone to actually have the same opinion that I have but I happen to found no one. Im from latinamerica, not from korea, not from america, so believe me when I say this: WE DONT GET EDUCATION ON THE N WORD PEOPLE, the world doesn't revolve around the US (and of course, it doesn't revolve around my country or korea), so it isnt "common sense" to know this, we have differents cultures. Im not expecting you to know that you can't just say "pinochet" around the streets in my country because people might feel triggered, but because I know that you're a foreigner I will forgive you and understand. It's the same for the N word, I happen to know it bc Im from a bilingual school and there they teach you these things, but you don't really take weight to it. So even if there have been lots of scandals regarding kpop idols saying the word, at the moment they probably just forget you know? Because thats prob something they learnt when they were older and it isn't around their mind all the time, contrary to americans who were taught from very little that the n word is a bad word that shouldn't be said unless you're african american.

[@kpopgames7502]

Furan Shizuka praise

[@bangtan_a.r.m.y8312]

while i agree to this because im not american myself and only understood why the N word was so offensive until i started living here so that ignorance is inevitable to those whose not from the West, it still doesn't excuse them despite their culture because there has been MANY scandals of idols and comedians who receive a lot of backlash about blackface and saying the N word. It's not expected that they understand the history and why its so offensive, but not saying the word due to the constant controversies that happened to their sunbaes over this word should at least give them the hint to steer clear from it. That's why it's a bit disappointing.

[@angelaroberts3563]

Never say something without understanding the meaning. That's common sense.

[@faeaeae]

Angela Roberts would you still think that if it was SUCH a common word? black people use it to refer to their pals, how would one even begin to assume it's a bad word without knowing the history behind it.. I was never taught the history behind it either. I only found out why it was considered offensive by living of off the internet.

[@amandamendoza1299]

Furan Shizuka it's not about them using the the n word. It's about the fact that this same exact thing has happen to multiple idols and it's still continues to happen. It's not rocket science to know that "oh well this person used that word and got in trouble. Maybe I shouldn't use it either" it's not "oops I didn't know" at this point it just straight disrespectful and poor judgement. Regardless of where you come from if you don't know what a word means or implies, DONT FUCKING USE IT. Just like I wouldn't go to your country and use...PINOCHET because I literally have no idea what that means so I would have no use for it let alone use it so frivolously.

[@annluna1628]

kpop fans are so hiprocrit, if someone says " i dont like kpop" they call that person racist, but if its a kpop idol saying shit its ok. (sorry for my bad english )

[@xtoujoursmygx2699]

Ann Luna please don't say "kpop fans" because your comment is not referring to all of us. Not all of us are like that. If a person doesn't like kpop i just say "okay."

[@annluna1628]

ShawolCassieInspiritLampArmyBestFriendAroha Wolf I agree with you, but it's a fact that many of the fans make excuses for the idols. It's like okay, what I meant is that a lot of kpop fans do not like western music but those who like it can not dislike kpop and Unfortunately I see many fans talking bad things to these people what is very immature, I see this in most of the fans of kpop it is no use talking about it like its not true, look on the Internet, even in videos that are not about kpop

[@justahuman9273]

Ann Luna aaaaaaaah waaaait a second there. i have NEVER heard any kpop fans say "you are racist" to a person, JUST because that person "doesn't like kpop"... to generalize kpop fans like that, makes no sense (to generalize people is wrong no matter what, BUT i do get it sometimes, if there are a bunch of people who act the same way. that is normal, if a certain situation accours more often, we are humans, even if we'd try, we'd generalize others. however! in this case -> no.. there are TOO FEW kpop fans who act like this! as i never witnessed ANYBODY saying these things or something along the lines for no valid reason.) and also: i DON'T think that everything my idols do and say is alright, JUST BECAUSE.... i judge them the SAME way, as i judge myself and the rest of this world.

Wow, so many hypocrites in the comments. They're like when this Idol says something is ok cuz he/she was so innocent, but if the idol is not someone they stan they quickly say "wow so racist", I mean, if 2 people say the same thing and that thing is racist both of them are racist. Anyway, I think in some cases some fans overreact, remember USA isn't the whole world, so in other countries the culture is different, and we all know Korea doesn't like dark skin tone and for them that's not racist, that's just preference (even if that's not ok). I mean, it looks like Americans even struggle to tell someone's skin color or size, because they might look racist or rude. The funny thing is that in some cases they just don't say "that was racist" they quickly attack with "what a racist bitch, look in the mirror you ugly Asian...", you know racism against racism is not a solution?
