does bg doing gg covers feel disrespectful to you?

I think now the covers aren't bad but back in 2nd gen era, it looked more like mocking than appreciation.

Quote from yerivuitton

okay hear me out.. I am not talking about all the covers, a lot of them are done beautifully and respectfully..

and I dont care about them changing choreo to fit styles either...

but there have been several instances when bg members covered gg songs with a whole cosplay going on and then going on to do shit like lifting skirts or acting overly cringe..

do you guys find it okay? cause I simply don't...

just dressing up is still okay, but playing around like a joke especially the sexual ones just doesn't sit right with me

Definitely. It could be a bit of a mess back then

Although sometimes some idols actually took it seriously like Ren here

I think I prefer this kind of cover

Quote from yerivuitton

tbh yeah, but cross dressing isnt the problem, them acting weird to be funny seems to be problem..

this vixx cover isnt really disrespectful..

I am talking about instances like when ikon covered gfriend in their concert...

not familiar got a clip?

Not but when they wore gg outfit and dance cutely, I don't know how to respond

Quote from icyruios

I hate that he's 50x prettier than I could ever dream of being

Quote from yerivuitton

true, these days they have certainly been better and more respectful...

Yup, I have seen many nice covers from 4th gen idols esp.

Daehwi definitely fits this song and Hyunjin also really pulls it off! I like the cover

As long as they cover it the way the og gg does it (no exaggerated movement, no acting weird while doing so), i have no problem with that.

I rarely like covers of any song but as long as they do a good job of it I couldn’t care.

This one doesn't cross the line imo.

so what i'm getting is that it's not so much the covers themselves but the sexualised nature of the acts that such groups perform during the cover that is an issue correct?

I am not a fan of cross dressing but I wouldn't say it offends me

There's nothing wrong in bgs covering ggs just like there's nothing wrong in ggs covering bgs. The problem is some of these guys overexaggarate on purpose, act over the top and make fun of ggs, maybe without realizing it. It's mostly bgs who are asked to cover groups on variety shows, bgs who do more professional covers and upload them on youtube are doing it really well and with lots of respect

Nope.

People are becoming more and more creative with figuring ways to feel offended.

I find it hilarious

This is gold. Seriously.

But what Ikon did was just wrong. Really. There are some really good covers out there even with dressing up. But I don’t see the need to cosplay when they sing a gg song. 2nd gen was really cringe sometimes.

It really depends. There's a difference between being fun and mocking. It also depends if they are explicitly targeting girl groups of if they are making fun of everyone. If you make fun of everyone you aren't actually making fun of anyone.

For me these are fun without being disrespectful

Quote from yerivuitton

you think dressing up as girls and going on to do sexual moves not in choreo, or lifting skirts is fine?

umm okay..

Your comparing covers for TV shows for wide audiences versus Ikon fucking around at THEIR concert with THEIR fans.

It just seems like pearl clutching. i watched the full video and they were literally speed skipping around the stage to be dramatic at one point.

My guess is you hate drag also? Because it’s basically the same thing. Over-acting/impersonation of femininity for laughs/amusement. They are making fun of the obscurity of obvious men in wings “pretending” to be girls for the audience.
