can't speak for chinese/korean traditions since obviosly im neither, but as i said in the other thread, i think its fine. i don't follow a lot of cultural traditions because it clashes with my religion.
it doesn't mean im being disrespectful, im just choosing to follow my beliefs over the beliefs of others around me.
good enough for korean money but not good enough for korean tradition?
Wut? She's there for work, not to become Korean. The bowing is a gray area since fanmeeting is part of work but unless bowing is specifically included as part of the fanmeeting activities that idols are required to do, she probably didnt violate any clauses in the contract.
When is Rome, do as the Romans do
Knetz are like redneck americans telling mexicans to speak english when they're in murica
depends on the case
in general, being an immigrant means you should be following certain traditions and cultural features (unless they directly contradict with your believes) because after all you're now part of their society, which as every other society in every other country, has it's norms
BUT in Yerin's case in particular - it's stupid to hate on her and knetz simply use it to fuel their irrational xenophobia for chinese idols
I don’t think it’s fair to say that you don’t follow someone culture for not doing 1 thing out of 100 other things you DO do.
I’m all about act like Romans do when in Rome but if some etiquette clashes or violate your personal belief then it’s okay to not do it and compromise in other ways. I’m big proponent of respect but it’s a two way street though. Respect others but respect yourself as well.
