JK 100% is a meathead. I'd be amazed if he's ever read a book past the first page XD
NJ's nonsense with the morning walks is exactly that, NONSENSE. He's trying to look sensitive for sure, likely because of all the misogyny and if he's got a PR specialist, they probably told him he could do this to make himself look appealing and cultured to young women. Of all the band members, NJ has the WORST public image, so he has to constantly work to clean himself up. It doesn't help how open he was about watching porn, reading r@pe fantasies, and when being a general piece of garbage was on full display. We haven't forgotten those things and likely never will.
I remember a long time ago, L!nkin P@rk fans had a freakout cause M!ke and Che$ter kept wearing the handkerchiefs during their tours after their third album... Fans were convinced LP were using the hanky code. But the hanks they were wearing in their pockets constantly contradicted each other. And with BT5, I find it hard to believe that three of the members all like BDSM. Maybe one of them does, but that many people in one group isn't realistic. Bandannas have a been a fashion thing in hip hop and rock for quite a while. It's always irritated me, because the hanky code exists to allow members of the LGBT+ community to communicate what they want in a partner without people knowing they are gay/lesbian. Even in the U.S. in 2021 it is STILL dangerous for the wrong people to know your sexual orientation. People are beaten, harassed, fired and evicted for being LGBT+. In SK they have no rights at all. It's no different than when white people robbed POC of their culture, like, don't take our ways of interacting safely so that we know who we can trust. There's normal cultural appropriation, and then there's cultural THEFT.
On a side note, whichever stylist thought it was a good idea to use BDSM harnesses and bondage belts are accessories is just... why??? They often make style choices that make my head tilt. The "retro" styling for Dynamite was really, really feminizing and flamboyant. And weird. It wasn't legit retro. J!n's outfits in my opinion were the worst. Their hair in the ON dance mv was so over-styled, it had so much product and made them look greasy. So unattractive.
