Quote from SooYoung

Blacklisted from show maybe but she still can release Korean songs, she already did it so she can still promote in korea to some extent, she just doesn't want it anymore that's all

She's maybe korean by nationality

But she's still a chinese celebrity

Just like when a chinese is promoting in korea, they are consider as korean idols

Not chinese idols

ANd if they go to promote only in china like luhan or tao or lay or even victoria they are then see as chinese celebrities

It's the same for jessica that's it, she's 100% promoting in china so she's a chinese celebrity

By nationality, Jessica and Krystal are American though their parents are ethnic Koreans. They grew up in the Bay Area around a lot of Chinese-Americans and also during SNSD's time SM required its trainees to learn Chinese and taught to see China as a natural market after the US and Korea.

Quote from bartkun

oh shit I can see this becoming a trend!

I guess it has already in China. It was started by a group of friends who met to eat and then do their CPOP/KPOP around the table they're eating on.

Wish I had friends like this when I was younger! lol

This is so cute and looks like so much fun!

What a horrible but intriguing story. I don't usually follow this kind of stuff but this one is like a horror movie or drama. She wasn't killed by one person but an entire grotesquely evil family.

Her ex-in-laws rented out a place and left it unfurnished but had all kinds of horrid things like chainsaw, meatgrinder, cleaver there instead.

It seems she was married into a family of criminals. Her ex-husband was accused of fraud involving millions and she was in dispute with them over properties worth huge amounts of money. Police arrested her ex's entire family.

The second video is not tik tok and from the top looking down (a perspective that shortens the legs) which actually is a counterpoint to the Tik Tok video.

The girls look better in the second video than the Tik Tok one. That does seem like a trendy/nightclub/college area in Guangzhou though.

The Tik Tok Street fashion videos actually pulled people into the streets to see if they were true. Surprising a lot of the visuals actually match up!

This is another non-Tik Tok one of fashion on a street in Guangzhou (I personally find them prettier than the Tik Tok ones):

The visuals are stunning --

On Douyin (Chinese Tik Tok)

But they look even better just walking on an actual street in Guangzhou! It's like every other girl is idol or model material. The long legs are unreal! So jelly! lol

Quote from wizone4life

it is not the first day that Korean and Chinese fighting over their history so I am not worried about the Korean side on the hairpin controversy and it will die down just like other controversy like kimchi and hanbok.

However, the problem is not the hairpin controversy, but whether Wonyoung is Chinese have became a topic lately again in Korea.

Wonyoung being Chinese had been an issue since Starship released her name as Chang Yuan-Ying to MNET at PD48. Why do you think it is anything new? Unless you can erase her family (her mom's name is Wang, her dad owns a Chinese restaurant and her grandfather was the Secretary of the Korean Overseas Chinese Association) it'll always be an issue with Koreans.

An all-around talent. But very unlucky after three survival shows. Should have made the Bon Bon Girls (along with Yiyang) if they didn't arbitrarily decided to decrease the group from 11 to 7 for Chuang 2020 but then go right back to 11 for the boys in Chuang 2021.

OMG. Not only is Dilireba insanely beautiful but so is her dress! I want it!

Stunning! Wow!

Amazing performance.

What could have been. WJSN is still a solid GG even now but as a full team with the China Line it was so loaded with talent and visuals.

Quote from vivaliberta

We need true informations but this is amazing you know that.

Really? It is all over C and K Netz. IFans are in the dark about everything because they don't bother with Asian news sources. lol

her grandfather, named Jang Young Seung, is Chinese. He used to be the General Secretary of the Association of Overseas Chinese in Korea.

Hwagyo are discriminated against in Korea which is why they don't bring up their identity. Jang's family is classic Hwagyo.

Quote from vivaliberta

She is one quarter taiwanese no chinese...

No, her family is Hwagyo (Chinese-Korean.)

Her dad runs a Chinese restaurant. Her Grandfather is General Secretary of the Korean-Chinese Association. Chinese who immigrated to Korea from China before the 1990s usually take nominal Republic of China (Taiwan) citizenship.

Her family is pretty much Chinese ethnically.

Weird. Jessica and Krystal grew up in the San Francisco Bay area with lots of Chinese-Americans and they had always felt at home in China. This isn't anything new.

I really like KNetz saying Jessica "cheapens" herself by debuting with a Chinese GG. I wonder how those racists will react if they know that Jessica played a Chinese person in her movie with basketball legend Stephan Marbury in Beijing:

Hani Pham! Her mom is from Saigon and dad from Hanoi.

(My mom's family is from Hanoi and my dad's from Cholon in Saigon -- before being forced out as boat people for being Chinese.)

Pham is a common Viet Hoa (Vietnamese-Chinese) surname!

Quote from QueenMaknae27

I expected Ningning to have the most since she's a native

Chinese fans aren't really nationalist and racist like Koreans. lol

CPOP nation groups:

Rocket Girls -- 2 Thais

Bon Bon Girl -- 1 Thai

Into1 -- 2 Thais, 3 Japanese and one Chinese-American

Quote from BEG4DAWIN

You did not have to go there.

You are absolutely right. I should not have used that word and erased it.

Just a bit of emotional outburst. My own grandparents were forced into boats because of being ethnic Chinese.

Actually it is pretty well-known now that Jang Wonyoung's dad is a Hwagyo (Chinese-Korean) named Jang Wal Seung who is the owner of a popular Chinese restaurant.

But her grandfather is Jang Young Seung who also runs a popular restaurant in Seoul and was also the General Secretary of the Association of Overseas Chinese in Korea. He is involved with Seoul local politics and in getting Hwagyo votes for prominent politicians.

Wonyoung is Hwago, ethnic Chinese-Korean. Just like Joe Biden is ethnic Irish-American.

BTW, even the "pro" Wonyoung KNETZ sound like a bunch of racists. "She's only 1/4 Korean." Like any higher percentage of Chinese is bad?

Both her father and grandfather run Chinese restaurants in Seoul. Her grandfather was actually the General Secretary of the Chinese in Korea Association. Koreans should just accept who Wonyoung is instead of dissecting her ethnicity. Seriously how well could anyone tell a Korean-Chinese mix from a full Korean? Can people identify a Irish-English from a

full English person?

There had been a story since PD48 that her family -- not Wonyoung -- asked Starship to repost her name in Korean after they initially released it as Chang Yuanying to MNET. They knew that the Korean anti-Chinese crowd would have made it hard for her. They were not wrong.
