* The BTS concert in France happened a few months ago, but it was only made a controversy recently thanks to one of the government officials talking about it on a podcast a few days before. He thought it would be a heartwarming thing, but it backfired obviously.
TheEvil ClownMan and? is this an insult or? is there something wrong to be gay? like can u shut tf pls it would be much less noisy if you keep your dog’s mouth close.
@@evil_juggalo_1014 Ayeee you must be really smart to generalise a population of billions in the whole Asian continent. You are doing great boo, also being gay ain't no insult, grow up.
I'm a 44yr old white aussie man, and I'm pissed at this show & channel 9. I call 9 "parasite tv" they seem to like shows that exploit people. Worst station in Australia. Australian media in general have been left behind by the rest of the world, when they hear the term kpop they still think of Gangnam Style. This show was clearly trying to exploit something they knew nothing about for cheap laughs (that weren't funny!) There's lots of love for BTS in Australia, but our media are morons!
@@jintheprince3991 ddeng is not "diss", it is just about them flexing about their success to haters, no actual shade being thrown here like cyphers or MD
I'm usually all for "offensive" or dark humour/comedy, but this wasnt even an attempt at comedy. It was just pure belittling and trying to make BTS seem shit. The "worried about something Korean exploding in America" thing was actually a joke with a punchline, if u find it funny or not is up to u, but the rest was just pure defamation and trying to bring BTS down.
Yeah it was basically shitting on bts but the it’s just math part was funny other than that they were just trying to make stupid jokes that appeal to no audience with a basic understanding of humor
Defamation is a legal term, this clearly doesn't fall into that category. It was a poor attempt at humour, and it backfired massively. You could argue that they were anticipating reactions like yours and hoped to create a buzz around the show, which apparently succeeded to a certain extent. You wanna get back at them? Call their sponsors, it's quite easy.
@대왕. I don't really see what was so bad about it? Most of it was making fun of themselves, like they are old so therefor they have never heard of them etc. Everyone get that Jimin doesn't always sing like that, it's a fail clip brought up to make an exaggeration the same way as that they have never heard of them. Nothing about it is defamation it's literally stand up comedians. Search up some stuff that Jimmy Carr has done before and you will understand how tame this was, it could have been 100 times harsher.
the thing i love about this channel the most is that danny and david almost always have different ways of viewing the issues and when they discuss them and talk about them we (the viewers) get to really see from both sides and see what could be said from a different perspective, but as david always says there's a line, and no matter how much danny's opinion can be bold and different its never disrespectful or intended to bully or hurt anyone. LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING
Its not the worst, but its also untrue. One direction were discovered on a TV show, I think one kpop group not sure if its super junior mirrors them better because they were also formed on a show. Bts would mirror groups that started from nothing and made it on their own hard work and passion for what they do. Its how I picture old garage bands that made it big, by working hard and getting their stuff out there without an audience boost to start them off like one direction had.
Their jokes were so bad that it seemed as an attack. And the worst part was the way it was all defended (by someone who had nothing to do with it) on twitter. Anyways, thanks for mentioning it!
@@fuhtsgeorge7663 yeah I've noticed a trend with Australians not everyone of course but a few idiots who are in the entertainment industry I've noticed are going after kpop and it's not just bts. I remember a few weeks ago when they said there was drugs at a blackpink concert when it was at a rave then a comedian who had his Netflix special dropped for being racist made a hate video against bts. When he started getting army all over his account to get attention and he got it he then removed the tweet. Now we have people on Australian TV again talking shit.
I really agree with David there...If we just ignore these kind of stereotypical racial jokes & comments...we're just reinforcing them & making it seem like it okay to do so to the audience listening.
Whitney Titus it’s better to call people out for their behavior so they learn and other idiots watching learn as well. If u ignore every idiot, that’s how idiots stay idiots unless someone calls them out.
@Whitney Titus These are not just a handful of random racists, this is a TV show, sanctioned by a TV station. Whether it's Trump in the US or some political parties in Europe or in this case a TV station, they're giving racist/xenophobic/homophobic POVs a validated platform, therefore empowering your normal RL racist into seeing this as a socially accepted POV. And this feeling of empowerment can lead to RL actions that end in violence towards minorities. so yes it is important to send the signal that we're NOT ok with TV stations airing this under the guise of 'just comedy'....
I don't consider it blackface. It just looks like a metallic black color which isn't similar to a black persons skintone. It's supposed to be statue/art. And yes I'm black
I'm here for all the tea!! I'm Black, THIS instance isn't Blackface. BTW DANNY IS FKN hilarious omg "you we offended by Dumbo so shut the fuck up." Man when Im at K Con in NY I *have* to find you guys cause there is nobody like Danny and David. I love you guys.
Black face is racist because white people use to paint there face black to ipersonate a black person and mock them with stereotypical behavior. @@neehalramchund2643
As an Australian I’m embarrassed and so disappointed that this came from an Australian TV show. We have so much love for BTS it’s a shame this happened, I’m sorry.
@@pnsharma6127 I don't know if you are Korea or not, but either way, you are very generous, considering that tons of international fans threaten Koreans to apologize for several netizens' comments.
@@wuwuwu1757 we are ARMYs, we are the face of BTS and BTS never did anything wrong so why should their fans do anything wrong and insensible right!? So let's spread love, and let the haters hate. Purple you
@@pnsharma6127 uhhh but are you korean tho. Cuz if you aren’t then you shouldn’t just be goin around accepting apologies just cuz you like BTS, it ain’t ur right.
literally every racist show does that lol. sadly. To counter that, shove BTS more to their faces. since theve never heard of em (but made an entire video broadcasting it nationwide). You cant stop something to big. If you hate, you care too much. These 'haters' care too much about BTS when they could just delete BTS from their life but chose not to.
That was NOT an apology. That was just a message to tell us to shut up cause they "apologized".. But, that's NOT an apology, not even close. Those guys are in our Blacklist now, and they cannot get out ever. I'm sorry, but they didn't say that they didn't like them or hated them, which would be FINE (even though why? And how??) But they LITERALLY made jokes out of topics which are very, very important like the UN speech. Idek how they made fun of that, btw, seeing as even the South Korean President said it was moving.. idk man.
I"m honestly so disgusted by that Australian show. As an Australian myself, I don't watch the news (and specifically that channel) often but I know that often the Australian media's behaviour is disgraceful. I hope everyone knows that this does not reflect the mindset of all Australians nor do we think this is okay.
That is nice to know but the media is what we see of other countries so ... if the Media in a country is being crap... saddly that influences the image that people from other countries have of that particular country... I personally don't have a great opinion about Australian people, specially when they start by calling themselves Australian and the native people are called aborigines???? There has been , probably still is a lot of racism in Australia.
"If you heard of them, you're young" There are plenty of elderly fans of BTS. Even if you're not elderly, you don't have to be a 12 year old girl to love BTS. My dad likes to watch BTS videos with me, and he's a J-hope stan. He's always been very supportive of me and so he gave them a chance. He's not particularly old or young though, he's 37.
Capricorn Of January 4th Bakugou vs Deku Sorry to say...I just watched a segment of how colorist the BTS Leader is against the other members. I was shocked but NOT REALLY as I guess it’s a given to associate “white skin with Beauty Standards”. SAD 😔 and NOT Okay.
if it was a bit racist but at least funny, id laugh. but it was just cringey esp cos all of the people on that show are d-list celebs whose careers ended 10 years ago. the guy who said their singing was "passable" was an australian idol reject
I swear, the thought of what that snippet of Jimin singing and their comments on it... I almost cried just thinking about how he might react. I realize that, yes, he's a grown man, but he puts his life and soul into Bts, and it breaks my heart when people make fun of him for things that are basically out of his control. Like, okay, sometimes people's voices break/crack. If you were working super hard every single day, your voice would probably give out too. Edit: And on top of that, he's dancing (might I say really, really well). Just try walking a singing and you'll realise how hard it is. Now imagine you're doing abrupt rapid energy consuming movements while staying on time and singing.
they dont even think for one second that hes sing AND dancing. hes on beat and every thing im not saying this because hes my bias but this genuinely made me mad
What concerns me about the Australian TV segment is that these type of jokes - hardcore mockery - are only funny to people who most likely ALREADY have xenophobic and/or racist views. These words play well to an audience who thinks that successful artists from a country like Korea are a joke. Period. In and of itself. In other words, Korea being successful on a global scale IS the joke, and THAT’S a problem.
THIS. This sort of unfunny, insulting mockery of BTS on a TV show just reinforces to the xenophobic racists that their ignorant views are valid. I doubt anyone with a broader view of the world, BTS or K-Pop laughed along with these out-of-touch, tone-deaf xenophobes.
A fair chunk of the people within the australian TV industry are alot older, inherently their views will be more conservative. There should definitely be a push to introduce a younger generation so that things like this don't happen.
Lol dumbo Super relate. I live in suburban la and there was this one time my dad spotted this white guy who lives in our cul de sac who was just watering his lawn minding his own business wearing a shirt with the rising sun on it (probably with no idea what it means) and my dad literally approached him, asked him why he was wearing that shirt and if he knew what that symbol meant and then proceeded to fully go into the history of Japan's rule over Korea 😧 White dude looked at me like 😕? 😅🤷♀️
I agree with the dumbo one but rising sun flag shirt...? That should be taken seriously. To some people, including your dad or other "embarassing" family members, it's just like walking into a guy wearing a nazi shirt. And some find it even more infuriating cuz Nazi=terrible is a basic knowledge but the rising sun flag is often mis-viewed as rooting for Japan or thinking highly of Japan, when in reality it represents so much cruelness, pain and war crimes to a lot of victim countries of Japan and WWII. But yeah, the dumbo one was just....too much.
@@deardahlia8842 Yeah I agree ( I am Japanese btw, I might get bashed by my kins but hey RU-vid is a free place) I actually read about the Japanese war crime around 2 years ago and I was disgusted OK the thing is that I grew up in an international community and school so I never knew much about history ( I mean why would you teach Japanese history to a bunch of foreign kids) Sometimes, governments just don't show what you should know But, I have read the South Korean wrote. It was copied to several language btw And the author said that before the war Japan and Korea was very much peaceful Korea and Taiwan was like a younger bro or sis ( Your choice) Seoul and Taipei University was made by Japan ( I sound so biased wtf) Their crime was unacceptable But I really don't see the point of always bringing that up We don't even have our own military 😳😳😳 But meh IDC After all I am only half Japanese ( I live in Japan doe) I see things two different ways Thats was such a long comment OK don't come for me bye stay safe from corona! 💜💜💜💜
@@pjmsparkle5104 yeah I wonder why no one can let go the bad past and just go back to cooperating peacefully I'm from Germany and we got to listen about what Germany did again and again but what is more interesting to me is to also hear the other sides but that u hear only if u search it up yourself I watched a documentary on TV it it was so much more interesting than hearing the same old stuff all over again
nah man humor might be subjective but racism is most definitely not. For that sht show to go even after RM speech at the UN... how do you make fun about BTS philanthropy?
@@shaminaiqbal6032 I actually use to watch this show back when it aired when I was a kid. It ended a really long time ago but I guess they've brought it back. It's not as popular as it use to be and I think it's mainly because of who the host is. The previous host (to me) was actually funny and made jokes that weren't offensive but watching this segment on dkdktv just made me cringe and think they should've just NOT brought this show back or at least bring it back with more diversity 🤦🏾♀️ It still surprises me how multicultural Australia is, yet it's racism continues to grow....
You shouldn't be. Crap people in my country have also made some ignorant comments. They are also anchors on a popular talk show. But you did nothing wrong! Unfortunately there will always be haters, but don't feel the need to be sorry for anyone else's mistake. You did not do anything wrong.
i don't think they meant it like that. that comment was against her using black paint bc it seeemed like blackface to the person. so they didn't mean that black isn't beautiful, just for her to use another color. Also some people don't like black lol, that doesn't mean they also don't like black people lmao
For a skin colour, I’m indifferent. For a general colour, it’s not really the best as it usually take away, also pretty hard to work over black paint as it’s a final decision on an art piece
For real. There is a finesse to dark humor and you really need to understand the subject you're dealing with. I enjoy dark humor as well but this was a fail.
Jimin sings perfectly fine 99% of the time and when he makes one mistake, that’s all people try to focus on like stfu. What material you come up with to back up your argument is all it takes to see your true intention
Thank God someone commented on this.. Jimin has a perfect unique voice that a lot of vocal coaches said so. One mistake and what they fucking focus on it. I am sooo mad. BigHit should sue this tv show. 😤😤😤
lovedream hope And we only could imagine how much Jimin was upset with that minor mistake there. He takes that way too serous, our poor boy. Sending lots of love to him. 💜
@@lovedreamhope7089 Even if he makes many mistakes that is not the point when you have the corage to sing live .. this can happen... and it is perfectly natural... people are so used to litent to pre-recorded stuff that they can appreciate live singing ..regardless of the fact that some artists like Bruce Springteeen, to name one, don't have a lot of voice and that is not the point...
IMAFREELOUFA Changing attitudes about one RACE by putting another one ☝🏽Down?? Really this absolutely does not resolve the matter. I recent, viewed several segments of the BTS Leader shaming other members about being too BLACK...this is NOT OK either.
8:09 as a black woman, it's clearly not blackface. I can understand why other black people might be offended, but they need to recognize that it isn't. You can't just avoid something like that forever just because they used black bodypaint vs a color. It's the same as if it was pure white body paint or red body paint. Call out the actual blackface like that Gucci hate situation.
I thought you had common sense for a second until you mentionned Gucci. Like if you still can't accept that it's just a fucking clothe but in black, you're no different than all the other people that think they can just make a fucking color their own and nobody else can use it unless they're part of the same race group, that's not only insanely ridiculous, but also racist, fyi.
Prismo the clothes weren’t just in black though....it was the design on top of the black background that made it look just like black face... Pls look at the designs of them
People seem to forget the intention behind blackface, too. Even if someone is making their skin look darker to look more black (although I'm 100% certain that isn't the situation here), the intentional of blackface was to mock. If someone does it because they're showing people that they think it's beautiful, there is obviously no offense intended there and no reason to get offended. People aren't really offended over this. They have other deeper issues going on.
I'm a Monbebe and Monsta X recently went to perform for the Norwegian royalty and President Moon at the president's invitation and the same exact thing you guys talked about happened lol. The comments under the video from the event were filled with people cursing out Moon Jaein for going overseas and bringing a K-pop group for diplomacy etc etc.. it was kinda crazy lol. And in the same week that Australian show released that video, some Australian DJ introduced Monsta X's new song he was going to play in a really unprofessional and rude way and basically called them nobodies, compared them to BTS just for being seven Korean guys, and said their name wrong because he sounded so salty people actually were requesting the song to be played. I seriously don't get what's so hard for these people to understand that just because they haven't heard of something doesn't mean it isn't popular.🤦
I saw the transcript of the Monsta X interview, and all they did was say they had seven members like BTS - nothing else. The part you should be mad about is how they talked about the collab.
@@Honey-je4pr I mean thats what I said lol and yeah the part most people are mad abt is how he basically calls them nobodies acting like their feature wouldnt even know who they are. He even tried to joke like he wouldnt turn his chair if he was a The Voice coach but its like sir ur a radio host introducing a song and all ur gonna do is trash the group? okay lmao
That’s exactly why it’s not ok by David’s point of view.. in general they don’t care what you do or achieve, they don’t like you w/o even knowing you they’ll do this shit to everyone or things they deem similar .. even now BTS hasn’t been spared of these treatments in places with these ppl.. it shouldn’t be even been agreed or acceptable as Norm of dark or crude humor..ask Danie if it’s his kid being humiliated that way on TV.. how would he feel about it...
He really said with his whole chest ARMYs jumped him for asking if they were gay when he was making comments and assuming their sexuality based on stereotypes
@@amanacer3088 He thinks asking an unknown person's sexuality is normal and acceptable. It's a person's choice to share something so private anyway, why would they tell him?
Honestly it really crossed my line when they just saw their speech at the UN as something about "hair products". Nothing is more degrading than looking lowly on someone else's achievements just because they're a boy group or whatever.
As an Asian Australian, I am utterly disgusted at the hosts on that channel and their ignorance, racism and just foul xenophobic behaviour. I apologise really sincerely on behalf of the Australians with common sense. There’s a reason why I haven’t watched Australian TV for quite a while :/
I'm from Australia myself and tbh, Australian TV shows (most I've seen) irritate me a lot. It's the main reason I was so scared of BTS being mentioned anywhere in Australia except by Armies
I agree! The amount of racism against Asian people here is disgusting. There are a lot of Asian-Australians, yet people still LOVE to make jokes that stereotype them.
Its always funny to see monolinguals (especially from english speaking countries) make fun of bilinguals and trilinguals. While they cant speak a 2nd language, while the rest of the world just babysits them while they speak THEIR language, cuz monolinguals dont have the ability to speak another language apart from English almost as if its some kind of disability that the rest of the world has to assist them for the sake of communication. its like helping them wipe their own ass, cuz babies cant do that. ps: I'm only talking about those who make fun of others who can't speak English. Many countries speak 1 language but I notice it's mostly the English's speaking ones that expects ppl to know English and make fun of those who cant. While having a significantly lower percentage of people who could speak multiple languages compared to other countries.
For real. I'm from America......speak English and Spanish, am learning Korean, and am just starting to learn German. But I constantly get made fun of and asked why I would want to learn any other language besides English. And I'm just over here like...... because I watch a lot of foreign shows, and listen to a lot of foreign music, and wanna travel the world, and just think it sounds cool?? Like damn......chill out. You know?? Let people do what they want. 🤷🏻♀️
This is exactly what pisses me off the most. The ignorance that comes from those kind of people who thinks that their language is somewhat leading one amongst other languages and expecting that everyone is going to learn it as if it was some kind of obligatory.
@@maddieb8646 now, I can agree that if you're relocating or moving to a country where one language is more prominently spoken, it's common courtesy to learn that language.......but don't expect the whole world to learn your language and don't make fun of others for learning other languages.
This so true, they make fun of us just bcs our grammar is wrong. They think we stupid just bcs we cant speak english properly, they think learn other language is easy cuz they never try it.
@@hobimyhope6754 not all of us do. Don't generalize or lump every single English speaker into that category. I'm certainly not that way. And I believe English is one of the hardest languages to learn and get the hang of. We have so many grammatical rules and exceptions to rules. I applaud anyone who tries learning or learns it. But I'm all for people learning other languages than their own native one, anyways. 😊
problem is that it's acceptable to broadcast that shit in Australia so there are enough in positions of power who let it happen...don't like that? change it!
Blackface is different, blackface includes big red lips and is just the face, they also add red cheeks etc. Painyibg your body black and posing is different than painting you body black and doing gang signs or eating chicken which are actual black stereotypes
She didn't seem to me that she was representing the black experience. Or moking it. The hair, the poses, the tone of the color... None read african or racial to me. It actually looked western, the hair blowing jn the wind , the floating figure, like the fresco of a ninph on a ceiling. IMHO, of course.
I'm an Australian, I definitely DO NOT share the view of these uneducated, tacky humans. I'm really disgusted by their rasict points of view. They neither took responsibility nor apologised with any reasonable sincerity. I'm gobsmacked at this to be honest. Let me tell you, there are some pretty awesome people in Australia. I would like to sincerely apologize that that's what Australian television has to offer, it disgraceful. BTS heal the World with their lyrics, humble attitudes and outlooks. People like that aren't worth even getting to know BTS. Ugghh.... Love as always from Australia 💜🇦🇺💜🇦🇺
Agree with you. As an Australian, this was extremely embarrassing but not too surprising esp. when it comes from a media outlet that doesn’t represent the contemporary multicultural Australia. Yes it’s true casual racism is common esp. off colour jokes but overt racism is rare enough that it will be reported on the news or trend on RU-vid. As a Korean Australian, this program was offensive and as an ARMY, I was downright furious but the context around this program is that no one watches it. It was canceled for many years and only brought back this year because it is cheap to make, a time filler. What disturbs me though, is all the comments crapping on all of Australia and Australians as (violent??] racists. Aren’t comments like this pretty much what the program did?
I appreciate you a lot for saying this. I have been to your country a couple of times and only have GOOD memories. That show did its woke citizens a DISSERVICE, now the eyes of the world are on Australia. What's funny (morbidly so) is that in the Wikipedia description of that tv show, they're actually described as racist and white supremacist. They need to wake up it's the 21st century!!!
about the k government exploiting bts... i think what bts does for their country is priceless. so only bts can decide whether to do a service for what “price” they themselves set.
True. Old variety shows do that . Yet no much nowadays, especially there is celebrity like sam ockeyere(correct me if i am wrong) that bring about the best thing being a person instead of skin color.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID( I'm also black) think of it like this, it's just body paint used to make her outline show more against the background. I know some black people who do the same with white or gold. It's not blackface, it's modeling.
I don't consider that photoshoot blackface AT ALL. The model may have had her whole body painted black, but there was no mockery towards black ppl displayed. And, yes I'm a black person (both my parents are black). Now, if she had an afro, red exaggerated painted lips, or something, THEN it'd be go time for sure.
i honestly thought it was really pretty. using black and white you can see the contrast and the focus (or at least it should have been) is on her. not the paint. it's like a black and white minimal photoshoot.
there's nothing wrong with being gay, it's just the way they said it was intentionally aiming at the fact that idols wear make up, accessories, and care about fashion plus their more androgynous look (compared to westerners) that implies those characteristics as 'gay' (which sounds pretty insulting to the gay community as well, at least to me). the tone used was mocking and condescending, frankly, it gave me verbal bullies flashbacks
To fully understand the context, Perez Hilton is a has-been leech that tries to maintain his fame by attacking celebrities (in America). When Bts first went to the BBMAs in 2017, he was kind to them and Armys at first. Once he realized he could get clout by mentioning Bts, he started being super suggestive. He didn't ask if any of them were gay; he asked who was in a relationship with each other and who was the next 1D's Larry situation. It was GROSS. When Armys called him out on it, he started acting like a victim while also attacking Armys. We've cancelled him ever since and Idk what he's doing on an Australian show when he's a nobody, lmao
In Australia racism is really common.... it's like some of them hate Asian...my cousin was studying their in college he got so bullied because of it and their professor or anyone didn't even do anything after he complained ...😓😓
They’re Islamophobic too. My muslim friend was visiting her sister studying in Adelaide and they both got slushied. Her sister was wearing a headscarf and they just threw it at them yelled “GO BACK TO ARAB”..
The Streamers: It is pretty gross to actually identify the object of your fantasy by name. We all have them, just keep it to yourself. The Blackface: The magazine was NOT blackface. It was NOT an imitation of an ethnicity. But Danny is correct; because of the history behind blackface, anything remotely resembling it can cause an emotional response in some. I'm not going to go into how I feel about those emotional responses- don't have the time. BTS Mocking: That show tried it. They were going for a certain angle to elicit a specific response but it didn't pay off. Such is life. Better luck next time... I guess.
I don't think BTS cares what a random Australian tv show says about them. They are so sucessful they could probably buy the whole continent of Australia lol. The only thing that is sad is that Jimin will probably be upset by seeing his footage used as an example of "kpop idols can't sing". We all have bad days at work, right? Nobody is perfect 100% of the time. If I put myself in his shoes....I would be mortified if I saw that on tv. That was a really low blow.
I agree. If Jimin had seen that clip of him he would probably be upset and disappointed at himself. 🥺 We all know how sensitive he is with his singing and his talent in general. He works so hard perfecting his craft and these ignorant xenophobes just shit on him? I hope to God he has never seen it. 😞
@@rhythmsandblues1077 sorry i'm late but the commenter is stating a figure of speech hyperbole he/she is just saying that bts is more succesful and richer than these host (probably)
Watching your reaction to that sh*t I just remembered all the black humor (mostly on US TV shows) made of stereotypes about my country and people (I'm Russian) and compared my feelings to yours. I am able to take humor, jokes, Russians very often make fun of Russia (about Russians, political issues and so on) and I absolutely understand that humor, but sometimes joking about stereotypes can be stupid, I mean some jokes have been used so much that it is not funny, it is not a good joke. So, yes, I get your point.👌
The painting isn't blackface but people need to stop calling black people sensitive for having that immediate reaction. Korea is notorious for black face in recent years, therefore people will easily interpret it as that without the knowledge. However personally I don't think it's racist or blackface. To me it's clear that was not the intent and also no one is that black anyways
@@SirenRising it's physically impossible to be exactly black. I'm from east African as well and South Sudanese people aren't literally black but more a really dark brown.
@@SallieAndrea my sister and my family say that sometime when our family stand under shining sun we are actually blue and then there are times that we are grey........so relative perspective
The worst thing is we know if Jimin sees this he’ll beat himself up even worse than he already does. They humiliated an innocent person on an international scale, a person who suffers from perfectionism and low self esteem already. How dare they. That’s bullying, not comedy.
You guys Jimin has more self confidence now he can brush all those negative comments so don't worry Army has his back. That show should apologize if not don't worry Army is strong and will protect BTS no matter who talks.
Eunice Trejo I really hope so. Since bst era his problems w under-eating and overworking due to his high standards for himself have been consistently concerning. And his singing is one of his biggest stressors. But you’re right, ARMY will always have his back💜
i agree each and every word of this comment 100% i hope even if JIMIN hear about this he be able to see THE BIG PICTURE .... and doesn't go back to the DARK SPACE from where he learned to LOVE HIMSELF AND MADE US THAT "JIMIN_PROMISE" ... AND NEVER EVER FORGETS ABOUT IT ...
In my opinion, I don't think she's doing blackface. It's a beautiful picture. She looks stunning. Blackface is meant to mock. If she is mocking black people or if the magazine is mocking black people, I don't see how. *** I am a black, female American.
@Black To Grace I respect your opinion despite the fact that you do not respect mine. However, not everything needs to be seen as disrespect, mockery, or cultural appropriation. Did the magazine hurt some, yes. Was that the intention of the model or magazine, likely not. But again, your views and my views are different. This is why some were hurt and others weren't.
@Black To Grace I also understand that there are indeed black people with very dark complexions that could resemble a metallic black. They are truly beautiful. But for this photoshoot, maybe the thought process was "black is slimming and contrasts well with white and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye" not "we should imitate black people for more revenue and shock value".
Australia tv show embarrassing themselves again and no wonder people in Australia don’t watch much Tv show anymore. Like making joke using racism is disgusting 🤦🏻♀️
The show was aired on Channel 9 which is also known to have ties with right wing politics and biased news reporting, television studios are owned by right wing rich white folk so who would willingly want to give their programs views for their shitty content
Don't get me started. My teenager has me learning all 21 members of NCT like I'm studying for finals. I love my kid, but srsly, enough is enough. I'm in my f'ing 50's and I have more important shit to remember.
As an Australian ARMY here I'm super pissed rn -_- That was not funny and super disrespectful Side note: I've never heard of that shtty ass TV show Side side note: Please don't judge the whole of Australia based on this -_- EDIT: Sorry for my language I was super mad
Norman Cross I haven’t watched free to air for years and my kids accidentally changed the channel the other day and I was all “huh, when did channel 10 change their logo?!” Apparently it’s been years since they have 😂
David legend said it all. I love how woke you are and actually look at things from a bigger picture before speaking about it. I completely agree with everything you've said
Girls paint themselves gold and silver and other body paints...I think it's creative, not blackface. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and she should not be shamed for that.
Its 2019 but still no surprise if some cavemen tell us they never heard of the biggest boy group in the world. We can't do much but just have to leave them behind and let them be." Frog in the well is not a myth it's a truth !!! Our love and respect for BTS is deep 💜💜💜
I believe the way they mocked BTS is not only due to BTS being Asian, but also due to very unhealthy notions of masculinity and sexism in Western cultures. Also, the BTS fans that are shown on the media are largely groups of girls/young women and there is loooooong history of dismissing what girls/young women like as frivolous/vain/low quality - even the Beatles themselves had to deal with that in their early years. That prejudice exists in every single form - what girls read, write, wear, sing, paint, dance, play, etc.. is always policed. The basic principle of this is not so different from mocking an adult for liking videogames, but is worse due to sexism.
Yeah, the shit Twilght is still getting is unbelievable. Ass posses on Overwacth, Jar Jar..... nothing, boys enterntaintment reings supreme. Books and movies that may cater to a version of femal sexuality?, low budget trash.
“Never heard of them” how do you know their info and their fandom name? And some info that only usually hardcore army’s know? I really want to make them lose so much face. Don’t just use Bts for their own tv shit. I didn’t even know that!!! I hate their way of talking about BTS
That aussie t.v. show actually made my sick to my stomach. Especially belittling their UN speech, and showing the clip of Jimin's voice cracking. My mother is a professional operatic vocal coach, and even she says there's no remedy for voice cracks, there is no way to avoid them. It is like a hiccup or a sneeze, an involuntary reaction to various factors. Furthermore, Jimin is notoriously hard on himself, and I really hope he never sees this crap.
Well, and it's been proven that the sound system was playing the song in a higher key than they had previously practiced. All of the boys - including Charlie Puth - sounded off during that performance. Jimin's nailed all of the other 99% of the time, but sure, let's air the one clip where the audio was messed up *pissed off*
There are so many fans (including me) that love BTS and are hoping that they come to Australia .......and then the stupid friekin TV show is ruining it for us. Ahhhhhh.
Watching Davids reaction to the Australian TV segment was like watching a representation of ARMY twitter after that incident in video format. Keep up the good work!
When that woman said they're the Korean One direction . I literally laughed the first time when I heard it not bc she mentioned 1D but bc of the reason the way she said it. It felt as if these are the same dumb people who never knew non-English bands existed 😂 LMAO but BTS n ARMYS slapped them so hard that BTS is the historical biggest boyband after Beatles n I'm pretty sure she now knew them very well now 😂
i think david explained the whole situation really well. xenophobic, homophobic, and racist jokes really aren't funny anymore and the whole skit wasn't that creative or entertaining
Imagine if jimin see that Australian Tv show and See's him having a voice crack he would be so sad cause he is already insecure about himself I really hope they don't see that
They probably saw it already pfff i'm very scared for them especially Jimin he will beat himself over that footage I hope they don't take it to heart still they suffered so much before so i'm sure they'll be ok army is there for them
Bighit could very well sue for slander. The emotional and professional damages they caused bts is too much in just a short segment. They're very liable for it, as that show catered to australian gp and they painted a very slanderous and misinformed image of bts. That's nowhere near what can constitute as 'dark humor' when it has serious xenophobic and racist undertones.
