That really doesn't read as unbias

I have a feeling a lot of groups aren't that happy with the cutesy concepts, especially the extremely cutesy ones.
I just think for humans, it's just not natural to be that cutesy LOL I could be wrong.Minx wasn't just cutesy either though. It was kind of exploitative, at least in Love Shake. I can understand why some members would have been uncomfortable and not liked doing it.

I think there are two reasons Jisoo is getting hit.
The moronic behaviour of Blinks, particularly some from certain regions of the world, has inflamed knetz who are focusing their anger at those Blinks onto Jisoo as a "figurehead'.
And good old fashioned Korean misogyny. It's telling that a large percentage of Koreans who signed the petition are middle aged men, and more men than women anyway. For some, it is much, much easier to heap anger and abuse on a prominent female than powerful, more faceless men.
Just my opinion anyway.

AWESOME! I cant wait to hear half of the normal version of Next Level followed by half of the normal version of Savage again!

I think its more that episodes 13-16 haven't been fully edited yet, so they can remove/blur/edit out obvious references to the products

And the higher ratings are probably the "Car crash tv" types trying to see what all the issue is about

Yes, i love Jason kkkkk
I keep laughing at all the obvious phone autocorrect Jasons I'm seeing everywhere
But yes, people need to relax, and honestly, I think the best path moving forward is to let go of Snowdrop, for Jisoo's sake. It's honestly unrecoverable and not a hill worth dying on or letting Jisoo die one. Stop defending the show, stop attacking people who do have legitimate reasons to be angry.
I-netz need to let k-netz see that we are listening to them, we understand their frustration and their concerns are valid. We just want them to maybe not make Jisoo the entire punching bag for all this and help give a way for Jisoo to get through this without too much damage.
But while both sides keep escalating the situations, thats not happening.

Thats what dictatorships and fascist police states DO. Violence, intimidation, murder, silencing dissent etc.
They gave THEMSELVES the right to do this because again, thats what they do.
And thats kind of one reason people are so angry at Snowdrop. They are actually making the NSA police agency and the dictatorship looks LESS evil than they really were and almost "justified" in what they were doing.

i think the issue is that if the character, a supposed protester, is revealed to actually be a nk spy (which he is), that immediately validates the justification the sk government had in order to get away with brutalizing citizens. by having a key character legitimize the anti-communist propaganda the government had been hiding behind, you're fundamentally giving credence to violence and torture the protesters went through. idk if i'm explaining this well, but atm, the drama is kind of an offshoot of the red scare propaganda in sk in the 1970/80s.
That and Korean right wingers (The SK versions of Trump lovers, MAGA's and Q anons) are using the show to bring up old wounds and be like "yeah, there really were NK spies in the student demonstrations, see? SEE!, the NSA was right!!!"

At this point, the best thing for Jisoo and YG to do is start damage control.
Distance themselves from the show as much as possible. No more promotion of it, just leave it.
Have Jisoo make an apology that she wasn't aware of the issues behind the scenes or the hurt that still lingers. Have her do some "education" stuff by doing some work with victims groups or whatever and maybe donations.
I also wonder if YG could look at legal avenues. Probably not, but after the earlier controversy, when JTBC promised they would change things and the leaks weren't true, and it turns out they are true and things weren't changed, I wonder if YG can be like "You lied!".

Me looking at Lisa 100k ul on her first day of debut and they wanna act like the main event? No, they aren't.
Sure it's a pity that the situation took the turn to hell, but trying to boycott a group that they are trying to boycott since forever isn't something to be proud of neither keep talking about every month.
What I'm worried about is how a Korean boycoTT, especially with Jisoo as the main target, would impact her solo if she were to have one.
It probably would have relied on the Korean audience a lot more than Rose or Lisa's and would probably be a more Korean taste song. A boycott of BP and Jisoo in particular would really hurt her solo chances.
But with all this nonsense happening I think any Jisoo solo suddenly looks a long way off.

She also made those comments about loving history and being interested in it. She didn't do herself any favours.
-
But if you have issues with distorting History, you going after a rookie actress makes no sense. Going after the producers on the other hand is.
They are going after Jisoo because of the frankly disgusting reaction from some i-fans
She's the focal point for that. If she wasn't in the show, most of the shielding i-fans wouldn't care
I think the question for Jisoo, and Blackpink, now is "how do I fix this and repair my image?".
Because it seems shredded in Korea.
