Girl Groups Performing for the Military is Creepy( especially when there are minors)

I've found these military performances creepy for the longest time. The whole concept of sending in girl groups to perform for the soldier to "cheer them up" is both degrading and creepy when the groups have minor members. The groups performing are girl groups for a reason. I think it is rather clear they are not there for "music" but as eye candy.

I remember there was a whole scandal about STAYC not wanting to perform. they have minor members! but people were acting insulted.

i agree. the intention is transparent and weird.

I really question companies who sign up for the performances. Also, the pressure on ggs is weird.

Its already strange enough to have minors debut sigh

Quote from Sweet-Spice

I’m also reminded of that instance where an all girls high school over there were were “obligated” to write to the men in military as their pen pals. It led to stalkers and some of the girls getting doxxed

gross and weird shit

wow! I remember that article, it really bothered me. some people get desperate

Quote from Sweet-Spice

and yeah, a bunch of nasty men tried to drag STAYC down for the incident but of course all their man child rage and crying did nothing

People really felt personally attacked that Yoon didn't want to perform.

Quote from CITY

i remember reading about a class of school girls who had to write letters to men in the military. one girl's letter was apparently not nice and she got a ton of hate for it. this shit shouldn't even be happening in the first place. their expectations of women and young girls to entertain these men is so gross to me.

People shamed the girl for her rudeness to deflect the creepiness of students writing to adults .

gaslighting ha

it rlly was gross

Quote from TikiTiki

Do koreans think that men are some sort of superheroes for going to the military...

There are a lot of complaints about the mandatory military time....  

Quote from TikiTiki

Must be tough being so lonely and not seeing women throughout that whole time amirite

its a hard knock lyfe for them!!!

i agree

Quote from zuzuhhaa

i agree

Quote from TikiTiki

Nah but seriously korea is so creepily lenient to this kind of creep behaviour..how do u have the pd of produce come out and say he's making basically porn and then allow him to work on a show with even younger girls lmao

wtf! I didn't know about that....

Quote from supa

Come to think of it, have boy groups ever perform for the military to a roaring applause?

not that I know of lol

I know suengri performed.....

generally members who join the military will perform during festivals and stuff, but not really groups

Quote from TikiTiki

Oh man..

"The reason I made ‘Produce 101' was to make healthy pornography for guys," he said.

"You know how the participants were all cute and adorable like your younger sisters or cousins?"
"I wanted to make a type of porn that gives you such feelings."

What he said lmao and then he worked on my teenage girl who had 11 year olds

Quote from dummi

Pedobait like My Teenage Girl still flies under the radar like.... Idk. There is no hope for this planet, sexualizing minors for the sake of disposable, useless, disgusting fucking coomers

I commented this before and some user got mad at me but I think the name "My Teenage Girl" in and of itself is creepy. just something about the whole "my" and "teenage" shouldnt be together......

Quote from ISaidISaid

Sending underage/young girls to all male or majority male establishments like military or boys schools 🚩 🚩

red flags everywhere. What worse is I've watched these programs an the soldiers reactions are.........

Quote from jinaland

so creepy tbh, also idk you are going to military means you are doing it for your own country's safety and wellbeing and its your duty, but seems some act as if going to military you are some kind of hero and others should please you

I understand the sacrifice of military work, but srsly using it to justify objectification is wrong.

Quote from aznboy-x2

. . . honestly I f*cking died inside whenever a girl group goes to the military because Idk why but I just know that the men smelled like sh*t also it's highkey creepy even without minors

//also speaking off My Teenage Girl what about Under19 . . . tho  

........................

Quote from aznboy-x2

Quote from bunnyviolet

Some of the contestants look like babies omg.

my teenage girl had some 11 year olds....

also cant forget this KPOP STAR perfomance. YG rlly being sus....

Quote from bunnyviolet

Seeing really young trainees make me uncomfortable. Like the trainee life is already so stressful so imagine what it does psychologically on someone really young.

Then people defend minors being put in to this with crap like "but American child actors" (if you know anything about child acting it sucks and a lot of people who were child actors grow up with mental health issues because of it), "being able to get opportunities later when leaving idol life" (misses the point of the damage behind all this. who cares), or whatever lame excuse. It's dumb.

two wrongs never make a right!

The dance, the clothing, the editing all of it was very mature. The creepy reactions were the worst part.

Young children shouldn't be subjected to this. Worst, it affects their sense of self-worth. That they advertise their 'appeal' or 'visuals' is appalling.
