What are your opinions on white kpop idols?
Personally, I dont want them to take over what kpop is all about, but one every few years seems fine. But knowing korean and having training and talent is a MUST.

kaachi?
kaachi?
definitely not, i said they must know korean, have training and talent. kaachi has 0/3
If they put in the same work at Korean idols then that's fine with me. Like those EXP Edition up and moved to Korea to promote there. That gets respect from me even if I don't like their music.
There are white kpop idols?

Ok, so you're really asking about Lana?
Don't really care either way. If they can sing/speak in Korean that's enough to qualify them
is lana even still active. i forgot about her
Ok, so you're really asking about Lana?
no. im asking about the possibility of MORE white idols, not just ones we already know.
is lana even still active. i forgot about her
she is! she had her japanese debut 2 years ago and released 2 singles this year. I dont listen to her, but glad to know she didnt go down under
I don’t care.
cringe stay in western pop
kpop is the only genre thats global where asians even have a chance as succeeding

i dont believe so. i think mindsets like that are very restrictive. how would you know, if you dont try? i like to believe anyone can do what they set their minds to!
Who cares...we have several australians and canadian idols who are amazing and talented, so who cares where they come from.
1/4 of Asian blood
I'm ok with it
or for example Russian born in Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Sakhalin, etc. not to mention those from Yakutia (Sakha), Buryatia or Altai
but white white like someone who's koreabuu and wants to be an Idol? that would be bleeee
I don't know any white idols

I only know that Oil London guy and I would like to hit my brain until I forget him forever lol.
they are Asian tho
all Asia is ok, including central Asia as well
theyre asian.
It will be interesting to test that theory with A2K, which is America to Korea project that JYPE and Republic will be bringing next year.
I'm not sure what Ethnicities will be included

i saw that, i dont think theyll be kpop, since im pretty sure jyp wants their foreign groups to follow their own languages, but then that picks up the question on why theyd go to korea

Middle East or South Asia is drastically different to Korea especially culturally, moreso than other western countries.
Regardless of what country Kpop is Korean pop. If any Asian can be an idol or most of a group is made up of non Koreans it kinda defeats the idea of Korean pop. It's more fitting to just call it Asian pop lol.

its called korean pop because of the language, not where the people are from.
theyre asian.
What about a brown Arab who doesn't speak Korean person in Kpop? Or a brown Indian? Or almost white looking Kazakhstani?

So what's wrong with white idols who speak Korea ?

when did i say there was something wrong with white idols speaking korean? i said i only accept white idols that speak korean, so..
Sure, why not. Also lets be honest here they are current idols that dont speak perfect Korean so why is it only brought up with non asian idols. If they are every going to do it successfully it needs to be from a big 4 company

im talking abt people that only speak a little or the most common phrases and dont take time to learn more than that... the idols you mentioned are also trained, while most white idols just pass right from audition to debut.

I meant wrong as in what's the issue with them. A couple people have said no white idols in this thread and even you said you only want only 1 per few years as if it's a immigration policy lol so obviously not everyone is on board with the idea of white idols and seemingly Arab or South Asians...
they look out of place. Like, awkward? I dunno...

True, I do expect them non asian idols to train with same system as other idols though
whites just dont fit to kpop to me unless they are asian mixed

and idk why whites want to be in kpop where they can just be in western group
