@Human Being that’s so disgusting, it’s unbelievable.

I know they might think this was the right education, but that doesn’t mean it is, so listen.

@KPOP and METAL there is always something women can do and men can’t do.

I just can’t think of anything that men can do, which women can’t do )

@Isabel reed well the Korean society still judges the idols, whether they listen to Kpop or not, because Kpop is still a thing in Korea. If Koreans really weren’t to listen to Kpop as much, as they are, then Kpop wouldn’t be as big as it is. It’s not only a international thing.

[@EyeSEeYous]

@Isabel reed of course it won’t represent the whole society, but still a big part of it. Feminism is still a bad thing in Korea. And if idols talk about something which just has a little bit to do with feminism/ even if it’s just about some women power - like with naeun’s phone case - people/ Korean netizens will talk/ will get involved. And I mean people from everywhere ( in Korea ), not just from the Kpop community.

I bet you that if Lisa or Minnie dare to speak out about the protes in Thailand, they will be boycotted immediately. Actually, I think Tzuyu is a lucky case. Since Twice doesn't have any Chinese members, JYP originally didn't open up the market for Twice here (although that compensates with a thicker schedule, the girls have to be more active).

Feminism in sk caused this massive change in the political and social system that degraded men and victimized women, people- including many women- have started to reject feminism in order to combat the 'victim' mentality that caused so much harm in the society- like a massive drop in the annual birth rate, hundreds of men being falsely accused of sexual assault every month, and spending tax money for 'families' but all of them being directed to women.

About Taiwan... wait guys, it's not a simple question at all. I will support completely Taiwan if it will ask for an independence status supported by the mass majority of Taiwanese. But it's not the case. 1) even in Taiwan people are divided about that, of course there are people asking for independence, but there are others that want just autonomy as province and even people that want reunification. 2) that's because technically the official name of Taiwan is ROC. Republic of China. Since it claims itself as the true and legitimate state of China, never totally defeated by the communist party. 3) so technically even now they are not at all claiming the independence since it will automatically give the authority and the victory of the war to the popular republic of China. 4) even USA declared that there is only one China. So, we have a problem, but it's not black and white. And whatever Shuhua think about that is ok, but an tv kpop show probably should avoid to open the question. Maybe an historian tv program will be better. PS. The flag and the legal constitution of ROC was the originally one of China, so it's older than the actual Chinese flag and indeed can be interpreted as claim on all China.

[@KyrieRuwachHosanna]

To be more precise, Taiwan was originally the "real China" but they lost and CCP took over. To be considered sovereign is not by personal choice. It is by agreement from the rest of the world. You can claim the moon is yours, but if other countries do not agree to it, you can't do anything (unless you block them by force). In Taiwan's case, US has decided to consider CCP as the "real China" because they wanted to do business with them. Its allies then follow suit. Also, it is important to note that the majority of Taiwanese want independence. The party that has won the elections is pro independence. The main problem is that they are unable to defend themselves, and much of the world still wants to earn money from China rather than give up the money for another country. Therefore, they need to settle for status quo so that they don't anger China to the point of an invasion. Look what happened with Hong Kong. 1 country 2 systems? You really believe that China stuck with the agreement for 50 years when Britain gave Hong Kong back? The real Hong Kong is gone, and nobody came to Hong Kong's defense. Taiwan is worried that the same might happen to them.

[@KyrieRuwachHosanna]

@@l0vet075 I will humour you just once but your claims are red herrings: If you want to talk about origins, then a lot of places will belong to someone else. It is irrelevant because wars are fought, and countries (or lands) are won and lost. Just because it originally belonged to someone doesn't mean that it should belong to someone now. This is like saying you sold your iPhone to someone else, but since it originally belonged to to, you should get it back. The only reason why Taiwan gives in to China in certain places because Taiwan is unable to defend itself from a full scale invasion by China. Plus it is uncertain if the US will come to its defence. But if you have been following the news, a couple of years ago, Taiwan redesigned its passport to show its defiance to China. As for names, I cannot help but feel that this is indeed quite a childish claim. This is like saying, "My name is Aaron so nobody should have the same name as me." It also reminded me of a video where an Asian American was confronted and bullied saying that he wasn't American enough. All he did was raised up his t-shirt and showed the horrifying combat scars that he got through his service in the military. I'd dare say at that point in time, the entire room agreed that he was definitely American enough. Your race or name does not determine your identity.

[@rhynzard]

@@KyrieRuwachHosanna anyway my point is that Taiwan actually IS independent from China de facto. Remaining in the Shuhua controversy, the problem is the flag. A flag of Taiwan nation cannot be the same of the republican pre war China, for the same historical reason why the Nazi flag is no more the German one. They know that.
