This needs to be investigated

see above post...yall don't read lol

Quote from tetetete

Someone posted it though

If kcon says a third party posted it, then the third party needs to be identified and investigated

did you not read the statement? they are investigating they don't know who's responsible for it.

come on reading is not hard

Quote from tetetete

they don't know who is responsible for a job posting for their own event

is comprehension not easy for you? If they had nothing to do with it and didn't authorize it how in the world are they going to know where it originated from? clearly it wasn't someone in their direct office. it's really not rocket science.

Quote from tetetete

Sounds like an excuse to justify a gap on their behalf

Idk why u want to defend kcon over this but u do u lol

i dont know why you wanna jump to conclusions as if you're sitting in their office and know everything

but u do u

Quote from tetetete

let me tell u how serious this is

Backstage is used usually for acting role postings for which ethnicity/race can be defined basis the roles

An alleged third party (according to kcon usa) posted about a job role( event organization) for kcon and specified asian/white women for the same

How is this not a clear case of discrimination which will make people fume

U on the other hand are busy trying to dismiss the situation basis a kcon usa statement where they claim they have no idea who posted the role but will be investigating the situation

uhh because they didn't post it? they made a statement as soon as it was brought to their attention which some kpop companies, themselves, don't even do. Why would they risk posting something like that knowing hte backlash especially here in the u.s.? So yes, I do believe they didn't do it and the statement was posted as soon as they found out which was umm 3pm and it's 11pm.

It's not discrimination when they aren't the ones who posted it in the first place. They are doing their due diligence in finding out who posted it, where it came from and taking action. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

I am not going to sit here and jump on some hate train because you all wanna believe this shit. So you can sit here and try to preach how horrible kcon is but if they didn't make the statement and someone else did to sabotage them, then it's not their fault is it?

simiple as that.

I've added [DISPUTED] to the title and put your post, xx-jenn-xx in OP - in big font. These are serious accusations.

It is too early IMO to decide who to condemn. There certainly needs to be investigation on who posted this and I'm glad it has been brought to light. I hope the investigation is thorough - but swift.

Thank you I appreciate that and I completely agree with you. If they infact did not authorize this I really hope they find out who did such a thing. It's clear people are disgusting enough to pull something like this.

Quote from LCJK

Please, it’s obviously an excuse. It was not supposed to be published like that but the instructions most probably come from them.

At least now, black and hispanic fans know what they think of them.

nah i don't believe that at all. but u do u

Quote from LCJK

This is not first time something like that happens. What probably happened is that the ad was published exactly as given instead of hiding the discriminatory terms.

Quote from LCJK

There’s already a proof it’s the ad. Now KCON must prove it’s false. They should explained exactly what happened and say who is responsible. Not publish some vague statement.

it's not vague...they simply said they were made aware of it they did not authorize such a claim and are actively investigating it, i'm sure it's not a snap of the finger easy to figure out....ya'll expect results asap...give it time...how do you expect them to post something if they don't know who did it or why? I hardly doubt they would pull this shit...if so why hasn't this been brought up before since KCON started? give me a break lol

if you are so gullible to believe such hideous shit then that's a you problem. They are not stupid enough to pull something like that especially in the u.s.
