The whole thread is so shocking

The situation is worse than I imagined.

Yet nothing on Lisa, even though she hangs out with Minnie and Sorn

The only one I knew about was Sorn but I didn't know how bad it really is.

AFAIK, Lisa's family wealth comes from her Swiss stepdad who is rumored to be a world class chef. I have never heard anything about her mother or her biological father being wealthy or tied to royalty.

This is so insightful.

Quote from ultraaviolet

this doesn't prove she's from a pro royal or anti democracy "family" dude.

Besides Sitala, I don't think the other Thai idols explicitly voiced their support for any 'side'. The OP is mentioning ties, and it seems Lisa also has some ties, maybe through acquaintances. Otherwise why invite her to a Royal function.

I'm not a particular fan of Sorn but wasn't established that the squid game cast controversy was a misunderstanding? it was based on some meme and the products she recommended weren't whitening products.

none of the links are working for me

what was this for? I don't get what it means. I get you saying that her hanging out with sorn and minnie is weird, but can't she just have friends? bambam hangs out with them all and I don't think his family supports all of this.

please keep the politics of whatever country you're from away from kpop

lol but this doesnt have anything to do with Kpop idols who came from royalist families. No one is denying that Lisa is close with Sorn and Minnie.

Wut? Who said anything about fault? I dont blame Sorn or Minnie one bit. Just like i dont blame Lisa for being friends with them lol.

Well, KPop already has an ultrareactionary, ultra anti-reform figure who happens to be quite popular among K-O-R-E-A-N-S, so adding one Thai idol of such nature won't really make people notice

I don’t agree. Idols don’t have to voice out anything or declare their political point of views but when idols are literally tied to a dictatorship, it’s ridiculous to ignore that when some of these idols faced more backlash for less offensive things

Yeah honestly it's annoying to hear "keep politics away from K-Pop" when it's entrenched in politics by design. It might be uncomfortable, but it's there.

Who? Sorry I just honestly don't know.

I guess Lisa and Ten are anti-democracy too.

Your family does not decide who you are. Your actions do.

As a Thai,

Previously, Thai society was pro royalist but split between pro Thaksin and anti-Thaksin.

Why pro royalist?

Thai king adopted demigod king doctrine from Khmer. Thai king planted the belief that the king was an "avatar" of a god. So, the Thai worshipped the king as a deity.

Also, in modern history were these 2 highly beloved kings.

King Chulalongkorn (reigned 1868 - 1910)

- Freed slavery

- Introduced modern medicine and established fist public modern school for commoners

- Saved Thailand from colonization

King Bhumipol (reigned 1946 - 2016)

-Initiated/supported countless agricultural/vocational projects to improve the livelihood of the needy

- Supported several schools in remote areas

He was also highly regarded by senior priests in the country and religion was an influential sector of the country.

Who is Thaksin and why is he so important?

Thaksin was a prime minister of Thailand. He introduced "populism" to Thailand and was loved by the poor for it while hated by the privileged class for it. You better search up for more insight about populism to understand why many finds it evil. He also committed countless misconducts. He was massively protested by the middle class and eventually dismissed from his position by the army commander.

His populism made the low class passionately engage with "democracy". It was the first time a powerful national politician emphasized on the lower class, who long felt neglected by the society, and they turned blind eyes on his corrupted actions. His forced departure enraged his supporters who protested in red shirts.

As the population of the country is largely poor, after Thaksin exiled, his proxies still won elections before eventually forced out. The anti-Thaksin side believes Thaksin's proxy will almost always win the election because of the power of populism and will commit grave misconducts under his command. Thus, they've grown mistrust against election and democracy.

Um... Okay this is just a picture of one of basically EVERYONE IN THAILAND going to one of the funeral gatherings for King Bhumibol Adulyadej. They went on for a full F**#!&& year and seriously almost every Thai citizen went to one of these. Even the Red Shirts back then did. If your trying to use this as a reference to being an Ultra Royalist your an idiot.

Bullshit. You telling me they had their old royal carcass there so all of Thailand could take turns visiting that small room? Judging by those present, it’s not just random Thais but special invitees, and apparently Lisa chose to join those with royal family ties. Anyway goes to show that royal influence is very pervasive but continue to blame some women who have no power over it.

Well you proved your an idiot, well maybe lazy. These ceremonies were all over the country and anyone that spent 5 minutes looking things up would have known that. Do that time you will save yourself embarrassment.

The biggest one was at the Old Imperial Palace. People lined up around the clock going to these places. I was at the Imperial Palace back in Feb of that year and he had died the year before. I was just there to go to the Palace as it is a tourist attraction but parts of the place were roped off so that the many thousands of people that were there for that (all dressed in black) could attend ceremonies that were around the clock. Some weren't even in Thailand. This photo was the "Thai KPOP IDOLS" who went to one of those many funeral rites.

So if this guy is like Hitler why are they paying respects. Are they under threat? You either modernize or you stick with your old traditions. But I don’t see how those Thai women are at fault over this. They didn’t choose to be Thai, they didn’t choose to be born in their families.
