Unfollow the vloggers who talk and show negativity of India and teach a lesson as they earn on you tube because of your views and subscription. Majority of Indian people are very warm hearted, kind and make you feel at home as you are a foreigner. They want you to be safe and go back happy. There are poor people or vendors who want to make business so they are after you to take their riksha or Tuk Tuk as they have to earn for their bread so which country don’t have that? Britishers robbed 43 trillions out of india and left it poor and divided and quarreling with Pakistan so it took so many years for India to come out of poverty. Inspite of all the kindness the Indians show towards foreigner, they make fun of them, never show anything good about India has to offer and what you can learn from the oldest civilization. Wait for few years and you would have no choice but look towards her as an opportunity to improve your life. Whatever you say or do, India is not going to stop growing towards progress and the real force is the spirit of Indian people, they are not rapist or druggist or drenched in communist propaganda.

My mum, myself and my sister travelled in South India in 2016. Nothing happened to us as we had good guides who told us blatantly what areas not to go to. The only thing I would note is that the Indians stare at you as they don't often see foreigners. Those Koreans clearly did not possess the brain cells to actually research about India, nor respect the culture. They had a clear agenda here and that was portraying India to be this poor, unsafe place. My dad recently went to India this year and he told me in regards to slums, that people live there not because they can't afford other places (the government has provided housing for them) but for investments. People need to understand that since India is a developing country, even the next couple of years would be completely different from a couple of years ago. I would say if you visited India in the 90s or 00s, it was probably unsafe, but things have changed in the present and will change in the years to come. The problem is, here in the West (I'm Australian) still likes portraying India to be this poor place. The only thing I learnt in school about India was the slums in Mumbai which clearly shows how biased the lens of the West has to India. I'd advise people to actually listen to the Indian women themselves whether India is safe or not. I also think it's important to acknowledge that the poorest states of India (UP, Bihar) are the states with majority of the population which is why the GDP per capita is still pretty low. If you visit South India, the North East or West of India, you will understand the difference.

@@HadassaMoon144 Happens in other countries, happens in South Korea as well. There are many KZbin videos mentioning how crimes against women take place in South Korea, including a documentary by Vice. It happens even in the KPop industry. I have read a lot of Manhwa in which harrassment and violence against women is often highlighted. These things do not randomly get addressed by Manhwa authors, it is because these things actually happen in South Korea. Which is what they want to convey through literary media. There are Korean movies where they have shown how women trafficking takes place in Korea and their eggs are forcibly harvested by traffickers. Can you imagine how horrendous is that? But supposedly there is an excuse that only India is to be portrayed in bad light, only India has to take the blame and being shown negatively inspite of all the good things in India. On the other hand, inspite of any bad things happening in Korea or other countries, only the good is to be shown about them and they are not to be portrayed negatively in any way at all, right?

Girl from India here 👋 I've not seen the video of what the girls have done, but based on your video- I can't say where they're at, saying that if they're in a city their clothes are normal as is the dancing (I dress the same in Mumbai, no one gives a shit), if they're in a remote village it is not normal wear and can be viewed as indecent. Indians stare at foreigners in general more out of fascination (just as I've seen videos of foreigners in Korea commenting on being stated at). I find it fascinating that India is seen as horribly unsafe to travel in the eastern world while in the western world it doesn't have such a "dangerous" image but infact is a saught after travel destination. I'm not saying crimes don't happen, they happen everywhere...I've been molested in Paris so 🤷🏽‍♀️ most Indians will always be extra helpful (sometimes annoyingly so) and will want to feed you their food and take you around.

India isn't that safe but it's not as dangerous either. All countries have their pros and cons, and India is one which highly respects foreigners.

It's common in India to wear such clothes and dance like this but no one dances in this manner in public, these women created a spectacle and being a crowded and conservative country people are bound to watch it as a form of entertainment. It does not make it right...but I won't say that those people who were looking were all having a cheap mindset, I'm sure most of them were confused regarding the situation and just curious so as to what is happening.

exactly- saying that bts could just leave and join another company- regardless of BTS’s current status, other companies wouldn’t acknowledge it and would treat them horribly, asserting that they think they’re superior or something. not to mention their wouldn’t be special rules given to them- I mean look how other kpop groups are compared to BTS, they don’t get the same freedoms and even BP are the second biggest but yet nothing compared to BTS, regardless of what people say. It’s even more naive bc just like David said- it includes the shareholders too. Just like Pledis and Sony? (whatever american company it is) are partners? (if that’s the correct word) with or are under hybe as well. so…that wouldn’t work. also politicians are attaching themselves to hybe and bts, as we can see, and we know how people get whenever they can no longer get what they want from you. if bts left hybe which is the sole reason why bts are able to be bts, politicians would lose their grasp on them and their would tarnish their image, probably talking negatively on them as well. hybe is the middle ground for connections w/ bts. i really just can’t see how Danny didn’t get it and how ridiculous he sounded tbh.

At first I thought maybe they wanted to shed light to bad but maybe they will show the modern India where we live too..unfortunately ig India for the K-vloggers and even the viewers is just slums and cheap(est) hotels, crowded sweaty cheap(est) train rides (which is for the people here who cant afford seats here), red light areas, bad street food and diarhhea.. Its fair enough to add these two dancing vloggers to the growing list of vloggers who cash out on India's poorer sections (and the added prejudice of India being a "R*pe capital".. expecting men to jump on them) :) P.s. As for the men gawking.. in poorer areas (villages) its mostly the men out for work and stuff so you see more men on the streets.. and them staring will be done to a news reporter, an actor or even a basic foreigner.. mere curiosity and confusion.

[@foreisho]

I'm not Korean, it's just my point of view from someone outside SK. It's insane how BTS military enlistment is like a boomerang. This topic is not new and getting out of control everytime someone brings it up. The worst thing is that no one wants to make any public statements, it's just hints. Yes, Hybe and korean government maybe agreed on something we don't know. However, in my opinion this is the main issue - not knowing what will happen. People are getting angry cause someone may be above the law, others say that BTS made already a big contribution to the country they should be able to get exception... Like at this point both sides are just fueling up themselves. It's not easy and as a non-korean I have no power to say what should be done. I'm just a little tired cause whenever BTS enlistment is brought up it creates more hate towards them.

[@pennybleta9721]

BTS was crystal clear on their stance since years ago. They clearly said they will go if they are called to do so. It's not their fault their country hasn't made up their mind if they are going to call them or not because they are afraid of the consequences which they got a glimpse of when BTS announced even a break and that whole misunderstanding happened. They saw the power they have over Korea's image and economy to the rest of the world. BTS singlehandedly put your country in the map. Enough said.

[@DKDKTV]

09.02 Update) The ministry of defense has come out to clarify that they will not base the decision on whether to exempt BTS on a national poll, and it's purpose is to simply hear the public's opinion on the matter. The ministry of defense clarified that the minister's orders were to swiftly 'review' the 'options and specifics' of a potential national poll, after getting requests from certain politicians.

[@koolvein_klein]

This is so weird.. its not typical answer we all expected. If you wanna give them exemption, just give. If not then don't...we all know govt is getting soft income from bts anyways. As a non korean my biased review would be exemption. But if Koreans don't want it, majority of army's would be fine with it

[@Ohmickydumps]

Why would they do that, they have the power to hold the decision if it's very very important for the members to go and attend in a military service why not just send them they didn't went on hiatus for nothing. If Jin needs to go then Go! The members are not against it but it seems like BTS going to military is going to be a big loss to korea . Don't make the guys as your profits.

Again I want bts to enjoy being solo n doing rest duty in military n hav an experience like normal people men of Korea at the borders of Korea unlike some popular idols who fake illness as soon as military duty comes... So go bts go n be proud... N again the decision is not bts themselves now it becomes country's decision.. Bts has zero say in their own military service...

As a Indian myself i think the reason behind those Afreecatv streamers getting so much attention is because it's very uncommon in India for foreigners to do such sexy dance that too in such a weird way. 😅 India as a country is still developing but come on guys to question the safety of those girls in broad day is bit too much.. 😅 Indian people are very considerate of our country's reputation globally, so i think foreigners are more safe in India then Indians.

[@arunimabanerjee1498]

Sorry to say but your information is not correct regarding India . Women are safe in India . It just depends upon the mentality of the person . In urban cities this type of dance / vloging is normal. You could say that India is dangerous just like any other countries. Crimes happen everywhere, India is not perfect but women also travel solo in other places in India . People should educate themselves about other cultures first instead of just reading newspaper & seeing news on internet . India is beautiful & vibrant country . It is actually sad that western media mostly focus on the bad side , instead they should focus on the good side as well . Focus on the good side & as a woman we should be aware of our surroundings no matter where we travel , it's not just about India.

Let idols date. Who cares? The entire parasocial relationship the Idol industry is built upon should honestly be demolished... Or at least changed in drastic ways. Ways that would protect the idol's privacy and mental health and, doing so also protect the fans' mental health. Delusional fans' should be dealt with quickly. Ban them from events, and share their information with other companies so they know to be wary. That's the only way you'll get the majority to stop. And when it comes to BTS's military service, why not just make them do public service? The military is already hell to most idols with people not treating them like fellow humans, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be to bts. I don't think they should be treated differently because they are global superstars, but because their safety might be at risk. At the end of the day BTS are just humans, like anyone else. OR debut idols AFTER military service. No underaged idols and no drama with military service coming in the way of promoting. Everyone wins

It is so unsafe that our militaries directly engage with China to prevent further land grab by them while you are busy being the USA's puppet in every war. It's so unsafe that we respect our martyrs and have voluntary enlistment while you force your young to serve in military unwillingly without proper respect and a low paygrade as per your country's PPP. India is really unsafe as we don't have school shooters over here to make it safer or judges that don't know how to give a proper judgement for a crime.

If you see Indian Media's they constantly report the problems and issues happening in our country instead of hiding them like most of the developed countries. We're proud of who we're today after suffering so much from British colonial rule. our ancestors have suffered a lot... British literally took everything from us. They stole 45 trillion dollars from India. It was drained and dividend but desperate to stand up on its own. Ofc the journey wasn't easy. the thumbs of Indian weaver were cutoff by the Britishers. There was a time when ppl use to sell gold and diamonds on road in our country, it's that rich. When we threw British out of our country (1947) our literacy rate was just 16%. Over the years, India has changed socially, economically, and globally. After the 2011 census, literacy rate India 2011 was found to be 74.04%. There were also security issues like in 1948 Pakistan's incursion into Kashmir, 1962 war with china, 1999 war in Kargil, but on Every such occasions India showed the world it can defend itself. India is socially diverse. 22 languages, 20,000 dialects numerous religion yet United. Which country doesn't have patches? Which country can claim to this diverse ? In 1947 average life expectancy of India was just 32years , in 1947 India registered 75 million cases of malaria it's total population was 330 million so almost 23% of the population was affected by it. By 1964 the numbers came down. There was also polio, india fought polio nd declared polio free by 2014. We also fought small pox. India is running the world's largest vaccination program. Today india is called the WORLD'S PHARMACY as it exports medicines to 200 countries nd region. India decided to go to space just after 17 years of independence. Today india is a well established space power nd reached Mars in its first attempt that no other countries has done. India was the first country to outside the permanent UNSC members to test a nuclear bomb. From the very first year of independence, everyy Indian adults have the right to vote nd for reference it took US 150 years to adopt universal adult franchise. In India the sanctity of elections had never been compromised. They're chaotic, yes there're controversies but they're held without fail. All of them excersize their rights. Nd that's the thing about India's story, it's far away from perfect, there's corruption, there's insufficiency, everything we keep complaining yet India's democracy has delivered, it ha alleviated poverty, built world class infrastructure, sent Indians to spaces to win gold medals, beauty pageant nd to lead world's biggest companies. In 1947 India had only 28 medical college , 4 dental college, nd 33 engineering colleges but look at the numbers now. The India that could neither write nor read is now the World's biggest talent pool. Top engineers, doctors, Indian origin CEO'S. India is the world's youngest population, the world's largest democracy, film industry, 2nd largest Road network.
