Girls Generation Hyoyeon calls out juniors for lack of greeting manners

What is the world for old fashioned?

Kongsomething?

The more Kpop drops these customs, more it loses its distinctiveness and becomes amorphous with Western pop.

If there is nothing distinctive about Kpop, from culture to language of the lyrics, why should I bother listening to them any more than other industries.

I know it is a challenge to reach larger and varied audience while retaining cultural distinctiveness. Yet that is the job.

Bowing to seniors is just one of those things,

I think bowing is ok, but it doesn't need to be a 90 degree like idols do to their their CEOs that pay their money. Just bc she is a senior in the industry doesn't give her the "authority" to receive a 90 degree bow.

But I do like a respectful environment and greeting others isn't even difficult.

i would also try to avoid fists of fury

Most of the new Idols, especially from the BIG4 are entitled kids.

Back in the days it was so nice to see Idols talking with each other, even messing with each others. In a way, the interactions between Idols is nonexistent anymore, because of the toxic new Kpop fans.

I actually like this custom, even though it was surprising at first.

It only feels like a stretch to me if we're talking about people a few years younger/older and they know eah other. But if it's someone you don't personally know and who is 10 or more years older, I feel like it's a simple sign of respect to politely great your senior.

It was better in 3rd gen, big 3 + GFriend and Mamamoo were like the royalty

This is like the 80th time Hyo has complained about this lol, I think it's time to just accept idols these days lack basic manners/respect

I think bowing to your elder is a good way to show respect.

But calling out to someone who doesn't do it gives the image of an attention seeker.

These things should be done naturally, if you force someone to do it, this action will no longer make sense

well you can't force other people to get rid of their culture, same ways asking for Korean to mess with our own culture, however for some reason I find some people that keep calling this issue is like some attention seeker. Why not just directly reprimand the junior instead telling it to the whole world because not everyone will understand the country culture.

Not just them, many other groups were entertaining on stage. The Red Velvet and Mamamoo interactions were crazy funny.😂 Not to mention the Mamamoo and BTS ones. After they became massive, they had to act like robots, basically.
