BTS mocked by Australian TV / Is this Blackface? [DK-News]

* The BTS concert in France happened a few months ago, but it was only made a controversy recently thanks to one of the government officials talking about it on a podcast a few days before. He thought it would be a heartwarming thing, but it backfired obviously.

Its not the worst, but its also untrue. One direction were discovered on a TV show, I think one kpop group not sure if its super junior mirrors them better because they were also formed on a show. Bts would mirror groups that started from nothing and made it on their own hard work and passion for what they do. Its how I picture old garage bands that made it big, by working hard and getting their stuff out there without an audience boost to start them off like one direction had.

I'm usually all for "offensive" or dark humour/comedy, but this wasnt even an attempt at comedy. It was just pure belittling and trying to make BTS seem shit. The "worried about something Korean exploding in America" thing was actually a joke with a punchline, if u find it funny or not is up to u, but the rest was just pure defamation and trying to bring BTS down.

[@pignonMZ6]

Defamation is a legal term, this clearly doesn't fall into that category. It was a poor attempt at humour, and it backfired massively. You could argue that they were anticipating reactions like yours and hoped to create a buzz around the show, which apparently succeeded to a certain extent. You wanna get back at them? Call their sponsors, it's quite easy.

@대왕. I don't really see what was so bad about it? Most of it was making fun of themselves, like they are old so therefor they have never heard of them etc. Everyone get that Jimin doesn't always sing like that, it's a fail clip brought up to make an exaggeration the same way as that they have never heard of them. Nothing about it is defamation it's literally stand up comedians. Search up some stuff that Jimmy Carr has done before and you will understand how tame this was, it could have been 100 times harsher.

Like, okay, sometimes people's voices break/crack. If you were working super hard every single day, your voice would probably give out too.

In other words, Korea being successful on a global scale IS the joke, and THAT’S a problem.

People seem to forget the intention behind blackface, too. Even if someone is making their skin look darker to look more black (although I'm 100% certain that isn't the situation here), the intentional of blackface was to mock. If someone does it because they're showing people that they think it's beautiful, there is obviously no offense intended there and no reason to get offended. People aren't really offended over this. They have other deeper issues going on.

[@SallieAndrea]

The painting isn't blackface but people need to stop calling black people sensitive for having that immediate reaction. Korea is notorious for black face in recent years, therefore people will easily interpret it as that without the knowledge. However personally I don't think it's racist or blackface. To me it's clear that was not the intent and also no one is that black anyways

To fully understand the context, Perez Hilton is a has-been leech that tries to maintain his fame by attacking celebrities (in America). When Bts first went to the BBMAs in 2017, he was kind to them and Armys at first. Once he realized he could get clout by mentioning Bts, he started being super suggestive. He didn't ask if any of them were gay; he asked who was in a relationship with each other and who was the next 1D's Larry situation. It was GROSS. When Armys called him out on it, he started acting like a victim while also attacking Armys. We've cancelled him ever since and Idk what he's doing on an Australian show when he's a nobody, lmao

I'm a Monbebe and Monsta X recently went to perform for the Norwegian royalty and President Moon at the president's invitation and the same exact thing you guys talked about happened lol. The comments under the video from the event were filled with people cursing out Moon Jaein for going overseas and bringing a K-pop group for diplomacy etc etc.. it was kinda crazy lol. And in the same week that Australian show released that video, some Australian DJ introduced Monsta X's new song he was going to play in a really unprofessional and rude way and basically called them nobodies, compared them to BTS just for being seven Korean guys, and said their name wrong because he sounded so salty people actually were requesting the song to be played.

Yes it’s true casual racism is common esp. off colour jokes but overt racism is rare enough that it will be reported on the news or trend on KZbin. As a Korean Australian, this program was offensive and as an ARMY, I was downright furious but the context around this program is that no one watches it. It was canceled for many years and only brought back this year because it is cheap to make, a time filler.

I believe the way they mocked BTS is not only due to BTS being Asian, but also due to very unhealthy notions of masculinity and sexism in Western cultures. Also, the BTS fans that are shown on the media are largely groups of girls/young women and there is loooooong history of dismissing what girls/young women like as frivolous/vain/low quality - even the Beatles themselves had to deal with that in their early years. That prejudice exists in every single form - what girls read, write, wear, sing, paint, dance, play, etc.. is always policed. The basic principle of this is not so different from mocking an adult for liking videogames, but is worse due to sexism.

There are so many fans (including me) that love BTS and are hoping that they come to Australia .......and then the stupid friekin TV show is ruining it for us. Ahhhhhh.

[@Anny-me9ny]

Yeah please don’t worry it could have happened to any of us! Have hope they will come to Australia, I hope they’ll come to Ireland too

[@abicadabby]

@@Anny-me9ny yes hopefully

I just recently subscribed to DKDKTV and I LOVE your content esp the explanation videos; really eye opening! I digress, in the not so distant future BTS will come to Australia to perform and I hope to God, Channel 9 is eating their racist crappy words then! What a complete joke of a broadcasting station, that wasn't even funny... that was downright trash! Lots of love for DK,DK & BTS though 💜 'You nice, keep going'!

Imagine if jimin see that Australian Tv show and See's him having a voice crack he would be so sad cause he is already insecure about himself I really hope they don't see that

[@imane8537]

They probably saw it already pfff i'm very scared for them especially Jimin he will beat himself over that footage I hope they don't take it to heart still they suffered so much before so i'm sure they'll be ok army is there for them

[@jikookforever1657]

Jimin is so good even they show the crack on tv.. I love bts

[@BTSxARMYxPurpleLOVE]

Bighit could very well sue for slander. The emotional and professional damages they caused bts is too much in just a short segment. They're very liable for it, as that show catered to australian gp and they painted a very slanderous and misinformed image of bts. That's nowhere near what can constitute as 'dark humor' when it has serious xenophobic and racist undertones.
