Show your ignorance and stereotypes of Asians. By your line that I am not Asian if I’ve never been fat shamed — what does that suppose to me lol

Blunt Asian elder remarks about being fat or looking pretty IS NOT what MHJ’s comment re Minji is about lol. To even compare is beyond me.

Yes, I am a lucky Asian woman that has kind elders who have never fat shamed me.

Here's koreans calling Song Kye How Ugly and OLD

Ageism in KPOp has been going on forever.

Looks shaming, there's really not that much difference between age shaming and fat shaming and ugly shaming. Koreans have shamed idols for those since the inception of the kpop industry. They'll even shame idols for eating a strawberry.

Vietnamese non idol being fat shamed by elders.

No being East Asian isn’t any excuse for this BS - it’s not a cultural or Confucius thingy

None of my Chinese elders would say such a thing. It’s not the same as the general youth and beauty - that is a human and global thing. But MHJ’s comment re Minji isn’t about this - it was creepy plain and simple.

So You've never been called fat by your chinese elders? So Lucky.

Here's a bunch of koreans body shaming korean idols.

You're not asian unless you get called fat by an Asian Aunty.

It's not ok, however, it is an asian thing and explains why koreans don't seem to have issues with saying shit like that.

There's a chinese youtuber and it's the entire inspiration behind his emotional damage shtick with horrible shit being said to him by his chinese elders

1) With Half of BTS groups in Army and not doing concerts as a group has cause a significant decline in HYBE revenue.

2) The remaining BTS members aren't doing as well revenue wise in comparison when they performed as a group.

3) That BTS hiatus catapulted Taylor Swift and swifites to ultimate level and as a cultural phenemonon moreso than before. All the BTS energy went to Taylor Swift. She made BANK on the movie concerts.

4) Hybe Group Spent a BILLION dollars to buy Ithaca for their influence in the western markets and none of their groups got nominated for a single grammy. In fact several major artists under Ithaca are leaving like Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber.

5) When BTS comes back, is there any guarantee that they will be as big as they were before. Look at BigBang they were HUGE. All the momentum seems to have shifted to Taylor Swift. It's the unfortunate truth about boybands and the other boy groups in Hybe's Portfolio doesn't look like they can generate the same amount of revenue.

6) Now with ILLIT in the mix who are quite possibly catering to the same demographic, they will be competition for resources. The ADOR lady is right to be concerned about ILLIT and the direction they are going with the group.

There's a lot of reasons to be critical of the current HYBE leadership and ADOR filing a complaint caused HYBE to go all nuclear, looks to be a beat down. LIke a how dare you question our authority type move. Maybe as a warning to the other sublabels to keep their head down and be all kissassy. Any criticiscm of hybe leadership undermines Investors confidence. IT's worst cause ADOR is run by a woman and South Korea is HUGELY misogynistic. Red Velvet’s Irene came under scrutiny after fans of the K-pop singer took to social media to say that they were no longer going to support her after she said that she had read Cho Nam-joo’s bestelling novel Kim Ji Young Born 1982, a fictionalized reflection on casual sexism in South Korean society. Fans allegedly burned photos of the star and got rid of merchandise featuring her image, criticizing her solely for her seemingly feminist reading preferences. So HYBE putting a woman in her place is just on par with an anti-feminist culture.

This "audit" just reeks of retaliation and huge pr hitmove against a woman who made an incredibly successful girl group that doesn't rely on sex appeal to gain an audience.

Here's a country that's producing academy award winning movies, grammy nominated music. They piss on japanese flags and tell women straight to their face that they're ugly and fat. They hate China and now they're acting like china getting so easily butthurt. I just don't get it.
