That's why they are begging for a grammy cuz it will be considered bringing international awareness/merit to South Korea and will most likely get them a military exemption
Yes, lets not fall in the generalization trap.
Yes their fans always accuse others of being racist to b+s and not respecting them cuz they are koreans
Yeah, this is why I said at the end that not all Koreans agree or share this mindset. I've had Korean American friends that were very open minded and accepted other cultures. They were young though and not a part of the older generation. Not to get personal but I'm mixed myself and half of my family comes from Asia. With the country my dad is from they don't marry foreigners, I mean never. And my father is the oldest son and yet he married my mom after living in the U.S. They divorced but that's another story lol. So there are always exceptions.
I'm sorry if what I said was offensive or generalizing. These were my personal experiences with Korean people as a person of color. Many have had these experiences as well. Koreans are romanticized around the world now because of kpop and kdramas and a lot of fans have no idea of the reality. This is why I gave my perspective.
I always thought they mentioned dieting so frequently because it's a habit. It's a part of their daily life, their environment. So maybe they don't even realize mentioning these things on camera isn't right. Jk talks about his diets on every live, it's pretty disturbing and his fans brush it off as him being healthy. And jm looks like he's wasting away.also i dont understand, why is the reason they mention it? do they realize saying their extreme dieting practices that are clearly unhealthy is controversial and will raise concern or do they think its normal at this point? don't they realize they have younger fans who watch and (sadly) look up to them, or even fans who are struggling with eating disorders? they care about youth and mental health right?
I actually think jn looks underweight too and has for some time now. People might not notice because of his wide shoulders and broad back. His clothes are always swimming on him. Jn and rm had a live...I didn't watch it but saw clips on twittr. Rm looks great these days, he's gained weight and is very muscular...but look how frail jn looks...
don't know but i wonder if they were punished if they gain some weights , they would be healthy and fine ...
Especially what stood out to me also is how none of them are as blindingly light skinned as they're photoshopped to be
They whitewash the hell outta them
Yeah when they're in the states they don't usually whitewash them so I've seen them on the cover of magazines and on tv looking much darker than they normally look. And I agree they look much better with their natural skin tones and no makeup. Jk really shocked me when I saw he was actually a tanned complexion.
Ahhh no, no, I just said it as a conclusion to our talks, of course, it is good to share our experience! It is important and I cherish that, didn't mean to sound patronizing...sorry! Peace and love for all races and religions! <3
Never understood this pale white mania.... Like I know we white people have been like the conquerors, the "trendy" ones and such, but come on, its 21 century.... shouldn't people start appreciating their own looks and not try to be someone or something else...
he looks a vampire in the second picture
See, this is what has been sort of the last straw with BTS for me as far as finding them attractive. When they performed Dynamite at AGT last year, I mean they've alway worn makeup (obviously) but they usually tone it done for American performances. This time they went all out and it was a really big turnoff for me. Call me old fashioned, homo/transphobic, whatever but I'm in the camp of having a very stern definition of what a man should be, how they should look, ect and absolutely despise the men who wear makeup. It's just sooo unattractive to me. Ironically, this was the first time my mom has seen BTS and pointed out how much my fiance looks like a white (white/Guatemalan mix) version of Taehyung. I never noticed it before and now I can't unsee it
It's reverse racism. Accusing others of belittling their roots, while doing the same to other artists. They're also so racist to Americans who interact with the members. The fans don't want btees to be called kpop artists. Their genre is kpop. It was good enough to get to this level of fame, but not good enough for them now.
They're making it so obvious. It's either to mock people who know or they're supporting pedos. Either way, I can't support them. That's disgusting because they have a minor in the group.
They look like regular people. In my ratmy phase, I would've been out there with those other fans.
