I want to give an optimistic answer, still I know the ugly reaction of how it would go down, some demographics and countries would obviously love it, and the others, it would be sneaky racist remarks
but regarding this bit, I feel like people would open their eyes more if a non-ethnic asian, though still someone with a korean nationality first made their way into a big company and under a group. That way they can't complain.
" I personally believe anyone can be in kpop, I don’t understand the whole “asian rep only” “go to the west” shit because Kpop is black music in Korean and it’s not Korean culture."That would be cool, I have an uzbek and an indian friend who are thinking about, some company almost debuted a kazakh but she quit, koreans liked her a lot.

Maybe in the west but they’re quite straight here in korea....Middle East...South East Asia too maybe? Idk but that’s cap cuz every Somali back home that listens to kpop is straight whilst the koreans are almost all straight at least within my family....damn thats tmi....i guess know you know im a cali girl....

Hypothetically speaking....If Top Tier companies like the Big3+BH or even second tier like Cube, FNC, Woollim, Starship etc debuted black trainee, how do you think it would go down for different fans? Ie Korean, Other East Asia (China/Japan) Southeast Asian, Western, South American (since those are the primary markets+ maybe ME studied in Egypt and they have a strong kpop fanbase but not crazy people). Also how different would the reactions be if this “trainee” was scouted or auditioned?
I would say their would be 4 primary groups
1. WOW Let me stan
2. I don’t care for race only came for music
3. The Asian Fetishizers(tag team with #4?)
4. The Racists (tag team with #3?)
Personally I think koreans would care the least and like them the most if they had an amazing voice/pro dancer since black artists are hella respected in korea (interesting cuz black people do be disrespected in the streets doe) and I think South American/Western fans would be the biggest issue since they’re probably the most racist imo and a lot have shown to be just asian fetishizers imo...yucky f*cks...
I personally believe anyone can be in kpop, I don’t understand the whole “asian rep only” “go to the west” shit because Kpop is black music in Korean and it’s not Korean culture. I believe many of the non asians that say this imo are either 1. Racist or 2. Have an Asian fetish or 3. Run with what they hear. As for the asians who say this they are either 1. Not KOREAN (never seen another korean say this because it’s bull) 2. Also run with what they hear or 3. Also racist.
Like I said this whole argument that it’s for asian representation is quite literally a mess, because while it does give us representation it shouldn’t be exclusive to Asians, because of the oblivious fact that Kpop is black music (REAL culture) in Korean. If we were truly dying for representation (which we weren’t at least in korea obvs) we should’ve used our own shit not take it completely from black music or other black inspired music (jpop lmao hate the “it came from jpop” argument as if jpop didn’t come from rock which is another black genre). Black people shouldnt always be on the giving end and should also receive some love like.. letting them participate in a music genre (subgenre?) that stems from their culture...like we aren’t culture vultures right dear asian reps gang?
I would also like to refute the “ stylist” “makeup artist” bull too because if companies can find black lyricists, producers, choreographers, coaches etc they can EASILY find black mua and stylists, like bish go ANYWHERE literally ANYWHERE
Again...calm discourse... if you’re racist exit pls...if you have an asian fetish exit pls...
Anyway we all know kpop will never be dominated by nonasians so please don’t even start with that...

JUNKYU IT'S JUNKYU!!!!
I’m sorry i watched the recent treasure box from like 2 days ago........so that’s how I remembered part of his name. I can’t even remember the swag one but I hope that me learning Haruto/Mashiho help. Also i always knew bang yedam since their feature on SKZ survival show, but I blanked out. Great singer.

Incoming INFJ Ambivert
-
Damn and here i thought carats were known for not streaming.... guess I’m quite behind still stuck in 2018
But this is good to see

Enhypen, Infinite, BTS, Stray Kids...
I like others but those are my top
-
I don’t think any group is a visual group. Everyone is good looking therefore there’s no such thing as “visual group”. So everyone stfu.
-
No way, they’ll damage their voice if they sing live like that. They be performing thousands of times plus practice? I’m gucci.

whats with your link? the video isn't showing up
Idk I’m not sure how to add the video
-
So unless some of y’all were trying to forget this performance.... I present to you DANCE KING Hoya!!!
Damn He’s one of the top 3 best dancers of all time but freaking Woollim didn’t capitalize on Infinite’s popularity
Gosh I don't know how to actually embed the video but whatever, This is still a legendary performance. Was over the moon when he won Hit The Stage.
-
Interesting that Gangnam Style or The Chaser aren’t there, Infinite was the first korean act to perform at BB (invited) and BB even named the song the best out of 2012 and the DECADE but i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Edit: btw it was also mentioned as #42 on the list of 50 greatest boy band songs of all time by rolling stone, don’t know shy kpop fans don’t know about it these days....

Umm.... probably the only things that could possibly “cancel” me is nit necessarily fighting but shading someone who talks about others, you know like that one dude that told Sulli she needs to loose wait on her arms on TV when she was already skinny like korean skinny, yeah definitely would’ve body slammed him right then and there. Also, talking about racism....but again I’m korean so they can’t really say “look at this foreigner talking about us”
Lol....
:pepe-cute:
Also calling out koreans on racism, sexism, COLORISM (gosh i do that every day already), and probably Islamophobia since I know loads of muslims there and koreans stereotypes are weird like they really STEREOTYPE them but they’re not “scared”. Lol, goes to show they just say what they hear, whether they believe it or not.

The fact that he got a solo before kyungsoo is crime against the humanity
Well he has other activities than Kai like acting which takes alot of time and wasn’t he in the military? Others don’t have to be on pause because someone is in the military + their was no group activities so is he supposed to sit like a rock for over a year.

I’m waiting for one of these ignorant/racist/colorist idols that y’all push into the American scene to say something racist/colorist so that locals can force that “bad image” on kpop, because ir looks like this generation of idols are just as ignorant as the past one. These companies need to either 1. Keep idols in school long enough to learn about other races/cultures 2. Educate them properly because the way knetz brush off their “mistakes” won’t fly in America.
