Seungri was already promoting pedophilia way back in 2011

watch jail bang fans defend this shit as usual

Don't get it what a MV have to do with it

This isn't just an issue with Seungri but Korea overall sadly. The idea of romancing and 'waiting' for younger girls is often romanticized and presented as some chivalrous thing.

Reality is as much of a scummer as he is he likely had 0 say or imput into the concept of this MV and the director did(likely a man) and came up with this really creepy concept.

Which we can see is normalized in Korea considering this MV isn't considered controversial or weird to them and not only got past the production team, Seungri himself, YG, multiple Korean ratings boards, broadcasters and the general public and no one said...hey this MV is really weird....kind of shows us the normality in which this attitude exist in how relationships are perceived in that country vs the west.

I mean take for example Parasite, something South Korea is incredibly proud of and happily presented to the world.

WTF IS HAPPENING IN THIS MV I-

Quote from kingkook

did you even watch the MV? The mv shows him trying to kiss a kid who looks like a grown up. The story is literally showcasing pedophilia and you're asking "what a mv have to do with it"? really?

I don't because I don't interpret to much in a MV ...... and don't think I'm a VIP who try to protect Seungri because this guy is just disgusting.

Quote from kingkook

wait even parasite depicts pedophilia? it's a pretty well known film in the west also right? then why isn't anyone speaking up on it?

Memoirs of a Geisha too.

It's about Geisha's life. Nine year old girl falls in love with adult. Then she does everything to meet him. That man has also fell in love with her and was taking care of her from afar. After she grows up they meet happy life.

The relationship between Dahye and Ki Woo is at no real point presented as odd or predatory and never acts as anything 'dark' in the story, it's presented as normal. He has a physical sexual relationship with her and at all times he is presented as a nice, lovable character that is a good person just doing what he has to for his family and for his future.

But he's also a man in his early to mid 20's(considering we know he failed the entrance exam for college 4 times and served already in the military this ages him well above 20 years of age) while Dahye is still a school aged girl going to the equivalent of secondary school in Korea aging her around 15-17 years old. Even Ki Woo's friend, Min Hyuk, desires a sexual relationship with her and tells him as much early in the film.

This is a mentality that goes far beyond just Seungri in SK.

Even Goblin's relationship is pretty gross if you think about it and the series is hugely renowned. Wasn't her character only 19?

A kid falls in love with a grown men, he does too. She becomes a geisha and end up with the dude

Is a very pretty movie if you ask me

Maybe, I haven't watched Goblin.

But I think we could also point out it's not a Korea exclusive type thing when ages get close to 18 but are stil under age.

Look at Call Me By Your Name a beautiful film, But Ellio is 17 and Oliver is like 25 and that's Italian and American produced. So it's a bit odd also.

Yup it's definitely a problem worldwide

Lolita & Pretty Baby too.

I’m not trying to defend him but.. this is a reach. There’s a million reasons to call him a disgusting perv but this aint it

Quote from kingkook

i mean i can't really comment. i haven't watched it. i really hope the story isn't as messed as it sounds.

I read the book when I was younger.

The story is as messed up as it can get from an historical POV, because it depicts the story of a geisha during the first middle of the 20th century, around the wars' period.

A geisha is what you would call an entertainer, these women are well-versed in keeping customers entertained through different arts and mannerism. Some of then might find rich men to be their benefactors in exchange of certain favours, but they're not really prostitutes in the true sense of the word.

The main character of the story was given to a geisha house as a young girl while her sister who was a bit older and wasn't a virgin anymore (she had a boyfriend) was given to a brothel. One messed up thing that I remember but I don't remember how old the girl was at that time is that her virginity was sold to an old man after she went to thr geisha house.

However, the man that she will end up with wasn't her customer when she was a young girl. They met when she was young, he bought her an ice cream and the memories stood with her until she grew up a bit and met him again, and then they developed a romance.

That's how I remember it, if I'm wrong, people are free to correct me. I read the book years ago, my memory is not fresh on all the events.

Because it's well loved by critics mostly and had little success with anything other than movie lovers and in my opinion it's a fantastic piece of cinema and it depicts what most assume to be a relationship between a potentially 17 to a possibly 20 yr old guy and even if that's a reach most will just accept that and enjoy the film as it's not really pedophilia as that is specifically in referral to pre pubescent individuals, 13 or under.

Ki Woo and Dahye both act a similar age with him being more mature. It's a weird dynamic but since character ages are never specifically mentioned and the actors are not super far in age(21 and 30) so it doesn't look too odd beyond the uniform. The relationship is also really a tertiary story at play so is minor within the film world, but he is specifically her tutor so it's a strange situation for westerners to see it presented in an almost charming way.

A 17 and 20 year old is not pedophilia what?

You can be a in a legal relationship at those ages at least in the UK and pretty sure in South Korea at that age.

Tbh when I was a teen I too read those historical romances with those teen girls and rich older men tropes

You should have read my other post. ' as it's not really pedophilia as that is specifically in referral to pre pubescent individuals, 13 or under.'

Which is also where I say most people enjoy the film and don't find it odd cos they can assume he is 20 and she is 17 and it's technically possible those characters could be that age, even if the film implies different.

Oh let’s not forget this gem written by r Kelly and sung by then 15 year old Aaliyah

Critics love to hype weird things anyway.

Remember how twilight got a pass cuz he LOOKED 17.

Goblin and twilight are exactly the same expect they got an older man in goblin while it was teenage boy in twilight
