I could be wrong but I thought the backlash was because of sexual innuendos or sexual undertoned while doing a cute concept

[@hilary3219]

I don't think they should be critcized for it but uh those lyrics definitely were sexual inneudos. That doesn't mean it's the only valid interpretation of the lyrics, but it's definitely there. Selena's lines are more blatant but also: "Even in the sun you know I keep it icy . You could take a lick but it’s too cold to bite me" "Look so good yeah look so sweet. Looking good enough to eat/Baby you deserve a treat" "Ice on my wrist yeah I like it like this. Get the bag with the cream. If you know what I mean" "You’re the only touch yeah they get me melting. He’s my favorite flavor always gonna pick him" "You’re the cherry piece just stay on top of me so. I can’t see nobody else for me no" "Get it flip it scoop it. Do it like that ah yeah ah yeah. Like it love it lick it. Do it like lalala oh yeah" Which is almost the entire song with Selena's lyrics. It's clear the the girls are ice cream (in most of the lyrics) and they're singing to a male who's their "favorite flavor" and "cherry piece" on top of them. There's also in there a number of references to him licking them as "ice cream", so yeah. This is the least explicit way I can point this out, but plently of people have done further analysis on this if you're curious/not convinced. Also, Ariana's writing contribution should be noted here is she is pretty much the queen of sexual innuedo in pop music. Also, from what I've seen there's also a fair amount of critique on the fact the music video portrays them as childlike/aged down which with the sexual innuedo is understandably problematic. You're point though on the gender inequality of it is definitely spot on though on the criticism of the lyrics vs male idols praises for similar lyrics.

this is an extremely informative video. but i think there another point that was missing: internal misogyny most kpop fans are girls. now i'm one of them but i'm almost 17 that is almost an adult. so i think kpop fans of age group 15 and above are quite mature and understanding of such issues. but the female fans who are below the age of 15 (not all, but most of them) tend to be partial towards their male idols. most of the time, it's these young girls who post about how girl groups have easier dances and are only famous for being "sexually appealing". it's mostly these young female fans who tend to underestimate girl groups. this includes telling things like "rapping is something only boys can do" and "visuals are the only reason they are famous" etc. we fail to realize that these girls do this because that is what they are taught to do. this is what the society teaches girls: IF ANY GIRL IS "PRETTIER" OR "MORE TALENTED" THAN YOU, SHE IS YOUR ENEMY. this sentence is 50% of the reason gender inequality exists. so girls, stand up for yourself. stand up for other girls as well. stand up for men too. and remember, you are beautiful from your soul, not your body. you are beautiful because of your deeds, not because of your face. and talking about talent, all us us are talented, but in different tings. so tell me, is there any reason to hate someone if she is "prettier" or "more talented"?

aside from it being absolutely ridiculous, one thing that also totally bothered me about the Hwasa red outfit scandal was that literally a few minutes before solar was wearing way less and doing a pole dancing act, i dont think either were too sexy or anything like that, but just the blatant hate for hwasa even though other idols wear the same or less clothing but havent recieved the same amount of hate makes me so mad. no one should ofc get hate and they dont deserve it, but even the double standards between female idols is absurd.

I remember one time RV problematic fans made a big deal out of Irene not smiling at airport pics. When some good fans counterattack saying it just airport pics . She doesn't need to smile all the time afterall she is human too. A problematic fan replied "I buy her album, merch bcz of me she is famous and living so well , so she needs to look pretty and keep a smile all the time otherwise why did she become idol ?" I was so horrified after reading that comment. I still get goosebumps just by remembering this. How much of entitlement he felt just bcz he buys her album. Is just so terrifying. I seriously feel sorry for the idols both male and female for having fans like that guy.

[@eliconti8388]

The kpop industry is the PERFECT example of double standard and misogyny. Peopls except girl idols to wear short skirts during performances but when they decide to wear something revealing it's suddenly wrong. This is why I have a hard time stanning girl groups, their personalities are all the same because they are forced into acting as someone that isn't them. I know it's not their fault and I know they are all talented, but I just find it difficult to "connect" with the artists when they only put up a fake persona. What I'm seeing with 4th gen girl idols is that they are being more open and vocal about this topic as well as being more different, like itzy, dreamcatcher and lovelyz

[@afrafairuz6074]

[@kylaaakarii6694]

I'm so glad that you talked about this topic, Cause it's really unfair not just to Idols but also to all females Out there that they have to deal with this a lot. When A girl Is over weight they get criticized, skinny criticized, Sexy criticized, pretty,ugly and almost all things girls do they get judge and criticized. I have too, myself have experienced all of this, and it is truly unfair and now Especially to female idols that they don't even get to do what a normal human being would. Instead of living their Dreams, they are now living a life of hell. THOSE TOXIC FANS DONT DESERVE TO LIVE IF THEY ONLY JUDGE, CRITICIZED AND SPREAD TOXICITY TO THEIR IDOLS!!!

As a Nct Stan, what Hendery did on Weibo should've been called out more, it was completely ignorant of him to do such a thing and fans are DEFENDING HIM!?!?! But if a female idol did such a thing she would be called stupid or uneducated or some would even say that she should leave the industry. The hypocrisy of it all.

[@anikvy]

One thing I've seen in many female fans when they see any of their favourite male idols they can't able themselves to hide their sexual desire and say whatever they want to say which is sometimes quite disgusting. But when a male fan express his desire saying "He wants to marry her( any female idol)" then most of the female fans come at him start saying it spreads saesang propaganda when most of the saesangs are female . So double standards are everywhere.

there's another. the controversy regarding blackpink's jennie from their latest song "lovesick girls". she was criticized for wearing a nurse outfit because it looked 'overtly sexual'; people said it was demeaning to other nurses. but on the other hand, male idols are praised for wearing (and even tearing) school uniforms in mvs; but doesn't that demean school-going students too?

another one is when in 2015 reportedly, Amber of f(x) was caught smoking in a club people had divided opinions but the 'fans' who who clearly relented this idea were commenting things like " But she is in a girl group, still" or " Girl group members should not act like this" even thought some supported her nonetheless saying things like " it is her life, she can live it however she wants" but recently one NCT member was also caught smoking somewhere and the fans turned it into a joke like " give me a puff too" or "atleast he won't have to smoke alone now" i mean even though smoking is obviously bad and harmful for your health treating males and females differently is obviously something that cannot be accepted even in india when a girl smokes people look at her weirdly and call her names and insult her but when a male does it people don't even bother

I remember when Jennie wore the nurse outfit and got controversial. There were many other idols male and female that wore it more sexc but Knets were only attacking Jennie. Some say its the timing but there is no such thing as that because she didnt do any sec dance or moves, she was literaly sitting still. They just used the "nurses should be respected because they are the heros that save us from the virus" but Jennie did nothing that disrespected the nurses. The outfit was kind of off from what true nurses wear but Jennie wore it as a cosplay while when other idols were exposing more skin and wore it as a sexc, no one attacked them but if its Jennie knets are quick to throw hate even though she did nothing wrong

Gender Equality is a human fight not just a female fight.Everyone should understand it . Every kpop idols should be given equal treats. It's not just based on that if female idols reveal too much then it's a sl*t and if male idols rip their shirts then they are looking hot It's just the mentality People themselves have to change it !!!!

[@lucie1106]

Yes, but that is exactly the point of being a female kpop idol (even male). Being the perfect delicate doll. The entertainment industry, plastic surgery, the government, society are so closely tied and the kpop female idols are basically role models for girls/women. It shows them what kind of woman they need to be, to be considered perfect woman. It's in the name itself. Being an idol, means that you are an example of perfection. That's why they all almost look identical. The same oval face, button up nose, double eyelids, v-shaped chin, slim body, tight waist, long legs, long hair... And if you don't have that naturally you go to plastic surgery or do dangerous diets. At no means I agree with this treatment, but that is something Korean women need to stop themselves. I think the only way of getting less crap from k-netizens is to seperate yourself from the title kpop idol and just be a singer, or band... You will still be criticized, but not as harsly when you are not trying to be the perfect idol in their eyes.

[@_Meretricious]

I can’t understand what is wrong with Joy wearing the feminist shirt. What is wrong with wanting everyone to fight for gender equality? That is disgusting that the netizins read this in such a way, forcing her to stop her career in Red Velvet. That is inconsiderate to Joy, and the rest of the Red Velvet members. They shouldn’t have read it as inconsiderate when she wearing that shirt, considering she is promoting a shirt that promotes the want for a bigger move on gender equality.

[@gurneetkaur4534]

I absolutely hated the fact that women in the KBiz are being treated like some voiceless dolls and can't even wear a T-Shirt or choose a phone cover or like a post without thinking about controversy....people have started to find everything controversial these days and if male idols would've done the same thing then they would've been praised....this is absolutely atrocious and I think that if male idols don't have to pay so much attention on their looks and their opinions, then even female idols should be vested with this extremely necessary right.

[@cyndixx]

To be honest what you added goes both ways, male idols are also bashed for their weight, they often have to starve themselves to get the bodies fans want. Baekhyun from exo literally starved himself to please a fan who said he’d look better with abs, and jimin from bts was and still is bodyshamed. That’s how the “jimin diet” got popularized. As for the outfits, male idols are sexualized and most of the time they don’t even want to wear the outfits take Kai from exo as an example, a stylist literally said “originally we put a shirt there but we took it off cuz he looked sexier without it” Kai was and still is sexualized, most of the time he looks really uncomfortable with these outfits but obviously no ones gonna talk about that cuz most of you follow the belief that male idols are pampered. Not to mention when a male idol checks a female idol out because she’s wearing revealing/attractive clothes people are quick to call them perverts and disgusting people, but when a female does the same when a male idol takes off his shirt in a performance people say she’s “relatable” and make jokes about it. People need to start opening their eyes and see how male idols are treated unfairly too.

It's like saying "A female artists is only for entertainment and once that entertainment gets stained they will no longer be the person I met" and for male "I'll support them with my all, love them with my whole life, live with them, dream about them, thinking of us getting married, ME? MARRIED TO A FAMOUSH PERSON? UGHHH I can't 😋" This is so devastating, especially when 'fans' promptly dream about them and male idols getting married, it's not stanning an idol, it's loving them, because they're an idol, in gender inequality, people who stan male idols, is most likely to be the malicious one

The fact that female kpop idols can't speak up about wanting gender inequality but male idols can really undermines the point. Like yes men are held to high social standards as well as women but women have been oppressed by men and culture for centuries. So by praising only male idols and shaming the female idols your going against both the male and female idols point and view on the issue.
