Can u do a video on cultural appropriation for other cultures in kpop?

[@AdeolaAsh]

That would be difficult but I can try. I avoid it as to not speak over others or say anything incorrect as it’s not my culture. I include Native American appropriation in my videos because I grew up being told how to not offend nor appropriate them which is why I feel confident boosting Native American Kpop fans’ complaints. For others, it would be hard for me to know what for sure isn’t right or wrong. Maybe I’ll try and collab with people from other cultures to make that possible. We’ll see 💗

Lucas once made a joke about Baekhyun being fat, and the comment section was filled with people pointing out its insensitivity. But when Baekhyun and other idols constantly mock Lucas and Kai for their darker skin, the comment section just completely ignores it EVERY SINGLE TIME. Like really? Y’all don’t find the colourist jokes as offensive as fat-shaming jokes??? What kind of stupid double standard is this???

Thank you for this! I'm not happy about kai wearing black hairstyles before but the amount of bullying he has gotten from other idols and especially his members for being "dark"(which ironic because members like baekhyun aren't even "light" either when they're not being whitewashed) is too much. Like it's never ok to bully someone and even though fat shaming obviously isn't cool either, I give Lucas props for clapping back. Baekhyun is one of the best vocalist in kpop but he has such a bully mentality and I don't see why fans keep defending that

As an Indian I know what it's like living in a culture OBSESSED with fairness. It is so bad to the point that it is normal and acceptable to publicly harrass and bully people for the tone of their skin. It is exactly like in Korea, but this needs to change! just because "it's always been like this" doesn't mean it should continue to be. I love Korean culture and food and would love to visit there someday, but honestly I don't know how much I can enjoy the trip whilst being constantly aware of how ugly I am to them.

[@Taylorc0de]

Honey I am an Indian too. And trust me you're not ugly at all. Korea is filled with shallow minded people. Don't let anybody tell you that you're not beautiful. Because beauty is subjective. It's a country filled with plastic surgeries wtf they know about natural beauty.

This is why it’s so important for artists like Fatou from BLACKSWAN to shine through in the Kpop industry. Fatou is black, and will definitely call out these racist moments from our idols.

[@elefent4642]

sadly blackswan is a very small group and international got hype, but other groups fans will tell her to stfu cause she's not famous and they will pull the "they aren't famous as ...." card. They already attacked her for wearing wigs....like sis can't catch a break. She should cover a song from a black artist and have the hair, the clothes and be like "I can do all that cause I'm a black woman". But then they'll hate on her existence 😑 bunch of lil bitches

[@Fran_Fuentes]

Sadly that would be a career killer for Fatou, she's from a small company and a small girl group or even they would associate her with the stereotype of an "angry black woman" that's why us as fans we must call out our faves when they do something like this.

It translates to treating other poc like shit because Asians know they can be racist and get away with it. There are zero consequences in any Asian country to be racist towards black people. The Asian continent just does not care about black people because they don't want to. But for some reason when they come to America, black people have to care about Anti Asian hate.

The Tibetan women pictured with the microbraids are usually Buddhists or Bon practitioners and are meant to have 108 braids (a special number within at least those sects of Buddhism and Bon). Having your hair "changed" from unbraided to braided usually happens around puberty and there's a whole very specific ceremony and party for it (like a Bat Mitzvah with more work!). Snatching that up without understanding the significance would be really shitty so...yeah no. Not chill even if they were mimicking another Asian style

[@evonne315]

This is literally the Cycle of Abuse. Apologizing, then doing it again, victims complain and point out the abuse and how it keeps happening and why its wrong, after a little while once the abuser feels the issue passed, the abuser offends again. I am sick of the low level of emotional intelligence accepted, gaslighting and outright lies. The answer to abuse is to walk away. Leave the person, unfriend, block, delete. Stop supporting them. Otherwise, 'taking them back' only gives them silent permission to do it again. Same as any other toxic relationship.

I'm almost 100% sure these "scandals" have circled around Korea and it should've been common sense to *not* do these things. I am a MooMoo, I love the message they put out and how Hwasa spreads confidence and love, but the disrespect she's shown and the group makes me sad because I really like her and Mamamoo. I personally accept the Bruno Mars situation's apology, but I'd have to look into when she wore a durag and cornrows... Plus it's even worse when you think about our history and how EVERYTHING was stripped away from us, and it still continues today as they silence us. The stereotypes are so damaging for places like Korea when their racial and cultural population is mostly monogamous. They get false ideas on how black people should act and look like through movies and common stereotypes (ex. angry black woman, sass, gangster, having rhythm and knowing how to dance, always buff/always curvy, etc.). And when they are corrected and told that we all come in different shapes and sizes they're like "well, these stereotypes, although harmful, are way cooler than them actually being their own person with unique traits. Time to blatantly be racist and continue being ignorant!" Plus Korea is SO OBSESSED with having fair skin and even someone who I'd consider to have fair skin is actually "tan" or "dark". it's like if you're a shade lighter than the literal color white then you're automatically unattractive. This video was very informative and I agree with all points of this topic. Stay safe and healthy 💜

Ik crazy. My cousin sister recently had a baby and she got a bit sick and weak while trying to lose the pregnancy weight (also she was forced to lose pregnancy weight) As she was sick her skin got a bit dull with it, when we recently met at a family gathering my parents immediately noticed and said "eat more u have gotten darker" what do u want, her to eat or lose weight?...also like I didn't even notice her skin wtf- HERE if u wanna get famous, married, rich, get a proper job u have to be light skinned. Also for some reason in Asia being black is cool but being dark is not, and men being black is okay but women being black is ugly. (ik doesn't make any sense) Cause black people are considered "strong" and "manly" in a way, cause of well....Movies and sports....Its like a weird stereotype/racist belief? (Also not to mention sexist) Mid 2020 there was a huge thing about bleach creams, which was put down by media (Cause celebrities and models are 101% of the time light skinned) and the bleach cream brands just changed their name from "FAIR and Lovely" to "Glow and Lovely" (one specific brand) and it was considered all okay....+ (not to mention girls are forced to put it on as they need to get married) NO THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR BEING RACIST, I'M JUST PUTTING LIGHT ON WHAT HAPPENS IN ASIA I feel like these days (kids and teenagers) aren't racist and it's getting better, BUT THESE IDOLS CANT BE FORGIVEN.

I hate when kpop stans act like just bc an idol apologized (most of the time its half assed) we suddenly have to act like it didn’t happen or we have to take that apology. I hate that even in ca there’s double standards from the way they react when its a man or when its a woman. I hate when they say “they’re koreans”. Of course, there’s so much a korean can know about other cultures but an idol will say something blatantly racist yet their fans will say its because they’re korean, like Korea is an advanced country they know whats racist or not. They know what they’re doing when they’re stereotyping other POCS and making fun of their food or their accent. I hate when an idol does something and its blamed on the company. When it comes to props and stages its not their fault but no Emily, the company didn’t force your idol to say something insensitive or wear dreadlocks. I hate when kpoppies will make their whole personalities about hating an idol who did ca like they don’t care about the ca they just want to find a way to hate pn that idol. Most of the time they’re not even poc. I hate when POC fans will literally invent anything just to excuse idols from ca, like its the first example that comes to my mind so when BTS still does twists after all their fans claimed they changed and whatsoever and try to say they’re gel twists, like yeah its still a black hairstyle so where do we go from there? I hate when kpoppies act like their idols are babies (mostly male idols) Kpoppies want their faves to change but will throw themselves to hell ans back to defend their favorite Korean stars, screaming “clear the searches” “what if he sees this 🥺” bitch i hope he does! The way they treat them like they’re some kind of Goddesses that can’t do anything wrong is honestly so disturbing. And I know that even in this video, kpoppies will blatlantly ignore their faves wrongdoings and find a way to come at a group they don’t like. I genuinely think the fact that companies/kpop idols still get away with ca and racism is the way the fan reacts. Its always “lets email the company 🥺 lets educate them 🥺” never “they did something wrong that they need to get call out on, no matter if its in a harsh way”

Dude i remember commenting on that jennie trainee video when it first came out years ago and i asked why they were letting her get away with that. People replied that I was bullying a minor and that they weren't surprised she had haters already because she's so talented and pretty lmao. These people will literally wear blindfolds over their eyes instead of holding their faves accountable for anything

[@AdeolaAsh]

So I guess people can get away with saying slurs that aren’t theirs if they’re talented and pretty PLEASE 😭💀💀

[@blacksheep9144]

Istggggg they dont hold idols accountable for ANYTHING which is why im so done with the fandoms in general

[@raikantoppeni4240]

DISAPPOINTED but NOT surprised smh

[@planetambience8462]

The “you’re just jealous” argument is soooo tiring

[@gabytruth1338]

I hate that they create a cartoon that gives my beautiful black people an ugly appearance ,mocking our skin colour,creating a false believe that black people are ugly.its so disrespectful,we don't create a cartoon or show mocking asians

[@bts8581]

I am sorry

[@verendai.]

kpop fans always act like their faves are innocent

[@umq1]

this

[@samantha-wg8ol]

I think every kpop stan should watch this video

[@makii7709]

When kpop fans like Korean culture and do what Koreans do they get called “koreaboo” but why don’t you call your idols “blackboo” 🙄 it’s so annoying bc some people say I’m a koreaboo for liking kpop and wanting to learn Korean when these idols say the N word and I’m black and I never say it. We shouldn’t let them get away with this. They’re going to continue to be racist if we don’t make a big deal out of it.

[@s1ut4w0men]

Period

[@shantesummers5775]

If you have children that are into K-Pop please educate about this. 😊

[@user-jj8hn3qy5v]

Suddenly my mood is to unstan Kpop for sum reasons

[@beefbeef8589]

I have a feeling that Kai and Lucas are close for a lot of reasons but also for this exact reason. Kai knows how it feels to be treated that way bc of his skincolor (which isn’t even that dark) so he kinda tries to protect them. Also Ten calling Mark out is very good.

[@killuahub7891]

I can’t believe ten has to tell them when it ain’t even his first Language-

[@valerieaa632]

I’ve noticed how most of these idols never even apologized *cough cough black pink* usually when decent human beings do something wrong they apologize for it and NEVER do it again but bp isn’t only ignoring the problem but they culturally appropriate other cultures and blinks blow their backs out defending them

[@user-qb9ft9ro9d]

literally 😭

[@susanaalvarez9168]

But the worst is bts.

[@a.o.a3408]

Thanks for this I know of Rosé with the braids and both her and Jessi with the Desi culture but the very popular Lisa has done so many things that has made me disappointed in her

[@jasminrt1]

I don't understand how like they can insult their darker skin peers, but they love wearing styles made popular by dark-skinned/ black people.

[@mars9643]

I didn’t know Jihyo dressed up as a Indigenous person- please I almost started crying... Indigenous people are heavily ignored, from our problems with MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman) and our thoughts on “costumes” that involve religious regalia. It hurts to see people I look up towards, look down on sacred clothing ; Like it’s just some costume. Did she ever apologize for wearing her “costume”?

[@AdeolaAsh]

She didn’t 😞

[@CrazyDaisy8008]

That part was truly disheartening bcz my husband's side of the family has strong Native American heritage. How can they be so careless?? And the crowd cheering her on!!! Thank you for sharing this. I'm seriously thinking of not listening to KPop anymore. I'm not saying everyone else should, just my own thoughts.

[@moon-nj3xv]

she also called herself “indian jihyo” so like 😭 why does she still have stans she never apologized for imitating war cries too

[@hsnrb9959]

Yet her fans call her 'God Jihyo'. What a mess

[@twicepilled]

At this point idk who to stan :/

[@shaveciacole4941]

The fact that most of the dark skin comments comes from self hatred is sad...why is being black bad I will never get it ‼️

[@yourmankermit4275]

"I'm black and I'm not offended".... 👨🏼‍💻

[@gdawg1585]

LMAOOOOO

[@hugocoissieux9533]

I'm personnaly an european White man cis gender heterosexual and a regular listener of K-pop. Your video was really disturbing and i didn't feel well but i watched the whole thing because what's you are talking about is important. I was sad to see some of my favourite idols but it's necessary to keep our eyes open. K-pop industry but also idols themselves are still doing problematic things and we all have to accept that a lot of works needs to be done. Mentality tend to evolve step by step and errors have to be underlined to be better

[@AdeolaAsh]

Thanks for watching 🫶🏾
