Itzy is getting black ocean treatment on korean music shows, fans are angry

K-pop stans have effectively ruined what getting a black ocean means. SNSD didn't endure one for it to be used anyhow since. It seems that they had a crowd of non-midzys in the audience with their lightsticks because, in their Untouchable perf, you can see they pre-recorded in front of their fans.

Lol. Even if you dont like the perfomance, shaking your light stick to show respect for the effort the group on stage is putting dont cost you nothing. Is kpop, should not be that serious.

It looks more like a kid's pool than an ocean. Also aren't those cheers I'm hearing? They couldn't even pull a proper black ocean, this is embarrassing

Didn't know what black ocean meant, had to google it. Why are they getting black ocean?

I watched all the girl group performances on this episode, and the ocean was even blacker for those groups (Geenius, Limelight, Class:y).

Probably a lot of boy group fans in the crowd.

looks like the recorded Untouchable infront of other group fans and Born to Be infront of their Midzys. I wonder why Mnet wouldn't let Midzys see 2 stages instead of 1.

Untouchable was a pre-recorded performance (with an audience that was all Midzys), while Born to Be was performed during the live broadcast (with a general audience).

Maybe it's jsut that Midzys bought the Itzy lightstick and it already ran out of battery

Seriously... I love their unique lightstick, it's really cool. But holy shit it has the WORST battery life on almost any device I have. It uses disposable batteries, not a built in rechargeable. And even high quality batteries last only 15-20 minutes.

AND... the thing drains the batteries even when it's not on. It's so weird.

Itzy nugu flops confrimed

black ocean = fans of other groups purposely turned off their lightsticks, a planned scheme

This is obviously NOT

That term and it’s connotations are inherently racist, we should be using ocean of color

Kpop fans: "Don't bring other groups' lightsticks to a performance. It's RUDE!"

Also Kpop fans: "Why are these fans of other groups not turning on their lightsticks? RUDE!"
