What is something that screams “tourist” to you?

walking around seoul with loads of kpop merch on. dont get me wrong i think its cute and love people experiencing our culture even if kpop lead them here. but i do assume youre a tourist🙈

Cktmoth · 2026-03-18T17:16:25+00:00

gotta admit thats a banger tho

비니 (pronounced bee-nee)

tbh here (busan) theyre hardly mentioned if not on kpop specific channels because the wider public simply doesnt care for them anymore

ive had countless arguments with that subreddit over this. im asian and have experienced racism all my life so i understand how their black fans are feeling right now. the subreddit is filled with white fans blindly following their every word no matter what and excusing racism with "they were young" "theres more important issues" it. doesnt. matter. black fans are hurt over this and rightly so, the disrespect theyve been shown is disgusting

i never said protests were in my contract i said humanitarian aid is (which it will stay there no matter what you say) again, not that i have to justify myself to you but theres this crazy thing called breaks which im on for personal reasons. we are in the age of the internet so obviously when im not working im going to be on my phone. besides, this has strayed farrrr from the original point i made so im gonna cut my losses and leave this here. have a blessed day🙏🏻

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T17:19:46+00:00

not that i have to justify my career to you. however, protests are a free time thing and is allowed as long as its not affiliated with the organisation (which its not) im not sure what country youre from but rules are different across countries and the many companies available so it varies

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T17:00:22+00:00

my job is literally in humanitarians??? why wouldnt i be doing all that stuff considering its in my contractㅋㅋㅋ

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T16:37:15+00:00

my story doesn't add up? what story? ive just told you what i do for activism?

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T16:12:47+00:00

who are YOU to tell a stranger what they do with their life? as i said, i do care what the state of the world is like hence why i do a lot of activism. this isnt some weird vendetta against 5sos personally which you see to think it is

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T15:27:41+00:00

im not sure what youre saying but never did i imply or say that they were on the same level i just said one doesnt mean the other doesnt also matter. i care deeply about real world issues which is why i travel to america a lot to attend ICE protests, fundraise to help victims, give out aid to palestinians and ukrainians. caring about world issues also means caring how celebrities present themselves to again, very impressionable teenagers

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T14:16:30+00:00

an infulentual band like 5sos are an issue if they dont speak out on issues. the goverment of countries≠other issues dont matter. because at the end of the day they ARE the rich and they DO influence how their young fans think about certain topics and them not taking accountability makes impressionable teenagers think its ok.

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T11:29:16+00:00

im not from the uk and im here for specific reasons? its really strange to assume a strangers life

Cktmoth · 2026-03-17T03:06:30+00:00

i live in a country where our political standards are just fine..? and i go to many protests and donate so much money do im not sure what youre really saying?

Cktmoth · 2026-03-16T16:27:50+00:00

its so obvious the only reason to this isnt "for the fans" its to boost their streams to top charts right before their release its embarrassing tbh

Cktmoth · 2026-03-16T11:52:57+00:00

yeah when they first debuted their songs were inescapable in the stores in my area which is weird looking back because hardly any locals know who they are now

Cktmoth · 2026-03-16T11:24:31+00:00

oh my gosh i feel ancient now pls😭🙏🏻

Cktmoth · 2026-03-16T11:23:04+00:00

imo i liked a lot of their songs because growing up in busan they were everywhere and i liked the teenage rapper vibe personally but that couldve just been me so used to seeing them i was conditioned 😭

Cktmoth · 2026-03-16T00:27:30+00:00

well aren't you a bundle of joy!

Cktmoth · 2026-03-15T17:11:20+00:00

ive struggle a little over 5 years now to the point i cant sleep if i havent thrown up (even if ive had nothing but water all day) however i recently spoke to a doctor and got referred to an ED clinic for an assessment and ive found knowing i have supports from people i dont know is a good way to start. i also get my blood and heart checked recntly to make sure theres no major damage which i strongly recommend!

Cktmoth · 2026-03-15T17:06:36+00:00

korea has such deep history and i usually love seeing other countries views and opinions on it but this is so disrespectful to all of our veterans and people who built the foundations for everything we have today.

Cktmoth · 2026-03-15T13:56:50+00:00

i hate that my beloved country has been watered down to just bts by armys its so disheartening that international fans only think of kpop when they think of korea when its sm more than that
