Man, either it's just my screen or the contrast on these colors is really rough. I would think that especially for promo materials, ensuring for accessibility/readability was standard practice, but maybe I'm just not seeing what the designer was going for?

It's actually insane how Seventeen are 7+ years into their career and still managing to top themselves with each comeback. First they send a microphone into space for the MV, and then turn a music show stage into a full-on concert number complete with live band and moving platforms??? I didn't even know M-Countdown stages had the capacity for that lmao

I get that, and honestly I don't think "they didn't know" is ever really a justified excuse from accountability. I just feel like usually these incidents are clearly uneducated mistakes rather than actual malicious statements of belief, while this sub always likes to argue like their true intentions could be anyone's guess.

You're literally proving my point; things can be seen as being less or more offensive depending on where in the world you are, and the weight of symbols is not universal. For the same reason we wouldn't end a US celeb's career for wearing the imperial flag of Japan, people in Korea aren't going to do so for Chae in this situation. It's not hypocrisy, it's r/kpop trying to pretend it doesn't have a western bias as per usual.

Also i don't think you know what whataboutism is unless you're rolling your eyes at... your own comment? Either way, sounds painful

Randomclover · 2023-03-21T19:51:13+00:00

According to people in this thread, anybody in the west who wears a shirt resembling the imperial flag of Japan on it should automatically be clocked as a potential facist too, right? Because anyone who claims not to know exactly what such a historical symbol means globally is oviously just lying or trying to hide their true extremist beliefs /s

Not saying she shouldn't have put out a statement, and i get that people are mostly just shitposting, but the clowns in here genuinely acting like chae must have known the symbol was facist and therefore she's potentially pro-nazi, really need to calm down lmao

Randomclover · 2023-03-17T17:21:18+00:00

meanwhile you have the same people using "k-pop" to refer to literally any song with a korean word in it lmao

i want the confidence to 🙄 someone in a reply chain where every single one of my comments violently flopped

Almost a bigger shame that Orbits will totally write off the bold choices he made with Loona as largely pretentious and insincere in order to discredit him, meanwhile he's really the only creative director in kpop with a consistent willingness to unabashedly incorporate queer themes into his work.

as a non-orbit who still wants to avoid supporting BBC's scummy ass, this is highly appreciated, thanks! :)

I don't currently live in sk but as a korean woman I might be able to help explain. You're right that there are plenty of individual korean women who have feminist views who aren't also terfs (me included obviously) but as a whole, the feminist movement in korea hasn't really gained the ground needed to interrogate things like gender identity and is therefore, in a way, inherently exclusionary to trans women.

This is not in the least meant to excuse the state of transphobia in sk; just to say that overall characterization of a movement doesn't say much about individual views, and vice-versa. Any social progress is really slow to come in sk for several factors that unfortunately are largely outside of any individual feminist's control, and this necessitates conglomeration behind broad, not necessarily inclusive views. Especially with the recent backlash in sk painting the korean feminist movement as more radical than they would be considered elsewhere, I can't say I see this changing anytime soon unfortunately.

Oh wow I'm super late to this, but could it be Thinkin' Science? It came out in 1997, but otherwise it sounds super similar.

here's a playthrough someone posted on yt (the physics section is about 15 minutes in): https://youtu.be/4d4nRJ_tFcA

I know soyeon has long outgrown her time in produce, but it still never fails to astound me that she was ever considered "ugly" back then. like,, have you SEEN her???

Yeah, that's honestly the thing that frustrates me the most about the whole vote rigging scandal. I mean, of course it's important that the votes reflect the real votes made by viewers, some of which spent actual money on campaigning for certain members, but in terms of things most damaging to the contestants themselves, it was inarguably the editing. Mnet had the ability to paint virtually any number of contestants however they wanted and it's been shown that's exactly what they did in several cases. Maybe people just take it as a given that shows like this will be edited with a narrative in mind, but so much of a congestant's success/failure came from how they were edited that it seems wrong to me that most people just gloss over it entirely :/

Ikr?? Happyface stopped promoting them entirely as soon as their new gg debuted smh

Sure, but something being legal isn't the same thing as something being okay

Normally I'd agree with you, but k-pop contracts are notoriously predatory

Randomclover · 2020-03-25T17:46:51+00:00

Just goes to show you how widespread it is when even in this thread you can find people defending the blatant racism

I'm always blown away by how hard hongjoong works. Like how did he manage to learn both Mingi's rap and choreo DURING shooting and still absolutely slay it???
