The World's Most Controversial K-Pop Group 

lol ikr

Because actual Koreans don’t even know about them...

Andres Leon People in China today do not face systemic racism and oppression from white people and view the fact that American companies are profiting off of their culture is "embracing it" rather than appropriation and borderline fetishization. They have completely different experiences than their Chinese immigrant counterparts and probably have no idea what cultural appropriation is since there is no one in China to appropriate their culture.

I'm from Korea and I'm just like wtf are they, that's it. I don't feel offended or sth lol

@@alex.chan__ There is no such thing as cultural appropriation. Culture spreads all the time through migration. This is why countries close to each other tend to have similar cultures. It wasn't until the silk road that cultures started really spreading between continents. Many things you may think are apart of your culture may not be. Many Asian countries are westernizing which from your point of view would be considered appropriation. Ever since cultures existed they have always been exchanging back and forth all the time. If people don't want their cultures being adopted by other cultures then they shouldn't migrate or let anything culturally significant leave the country.

Exactly.

THANK YOU! I hate how here in the U.S we get ridiculed for mispronouncing names and words in other languages but when the roles are reversed no one is held to the same standard. Of course no one should ridiculed for either but we need to understand that it's okay to mispronounce words in other languages we do not speak.

@@shawnmiranda8521 No, I don't think mispronouncing words in other languages is ok . If you are learning the language and you're making mistakes ofc its ok, if its an accident its ok, but in this case I'm pretty sure they meant accent. If you have an accent you're considered not fluent in english and other languages but people normalize this wrong idea in other languages or at least when a native english speaker speaks another language. If you're flat out mispronouncing words its understandable for you to face ridicule, not right in all cases though. You should always make an effort when pronouncing words in a different language but when you're already fluent and people want to harass you for having an accent that's never acceptable.

Well if one's trying to profit off of another culture it's definitely important to get that pronunciation right.

@@shawnmiranda8521 other languages I tied to a culture so it can be seen as disrespectful if one doesn't make the effort to pronounce the words correctly. English doesn't have a culture ties to it, and most people learn English for the sake of actual survival. So, these two things are incomparable

Yeah

Yup

I know right, it's not the first time K-pop has none Korean singers. Miss A had chinese singer, blackpink has Lisa who is thai. I don't think us in asia in general really care about race. We aren't as racially divided like those in the west.

@@wannabesoup1357 korean people don't care what do you care? stephanie poetri is indonesian, and she sang in english? is it wrong for her to sing in english? is it restricted for only white and black people? music is for everyone who love it. don't be racist

Rachie Ross for real tho

The most popular girl group in Korea is Twice and they have 9 members, 4 of which are non-Koreans (3 Japanese and 1 Taiwanese).

CutleryWonder so 1?

Carat’sFantasy exactly. also nct’s whole concept of the group is to have members from all over! Ten is from Thailand; winwin, renjun, chenle, kun, and upcoming members xiaojun, yangyang, and hendery are Chinese; Lucas is Thai and Chinese, and yuta is Japanese. People who are disagreeing with me seem to be living under a rock cuz nct is a Very Successful group with nearly half the group being non-koreans

rachie ross i know right. i love nct. but they problem is that those idold still somehat fit korean or asian beauty standards. they are all still ASIAN or half asain, and they look asian. sadly its weird for people to understand things they arent use to or avent seen befor.

I mean K-pop appeals to teenagers... so a bunch of old guys of any race grinding on stage is a gross

@@angelkingsley5299 thats stupid. i got into kpop when i was 11 and most groups at the time were almost 30 and i had no issue lol and there are many idols that are over 30 and even 40 still active lol

@@angelkingsley5299 "kpop appeals to teenagers" as if 90% of teenagers can actually buy kpop artists' album with their own money lmao

i find it to be a mixture of at the time they debuted they really weren't that great like in general but most of the hate is coming from overprotective oversea/foreign fans of kpop about how they're not kpop but who are they to say first they aren't a korean in korea and second they're singing in korean last time I checked that's what classified kpop cause as soon as a korean sings a song in full english lets say it's no longer considered kpop it's just pop

Ah, fitting the image. Thank you. I couldn't figure out why it WAS offending me even tho I logically shouldn't give af.

really though.

Ok Beelzemon

So true it’s like a caucasian person singing an African rap song and dressed up as a stereotypical rap artist, cruseing and say the n word. Their like wowitsvicky. Kpop is now kinda like Asian cultural music in a sorta way. It’s seems like cultural inappropriate. If they where mixed or rise in an Asian backroad it would have been acceptable. Because their are a lot of Kpop idols who are not from Korea but has a Asian backround. Like Koki’s talent would be amazing if he trained and debuted in a different group But didn’t. They never worked as hard and trained like the rest of Kpop groups. I tried to like it but it’s too cringy. There’re not a good group in general and are lacking in a million ways. Even if they had trained they would still like in image and dancing in my opinion.

Yeah I feel like if they did that it'd feel more natural. Like, maybe half and half. Otherwise it has this weird feeling of segregation or something while with only some non-Asian it's more of an inclusive thing.

Totally agree, this is too much

Being Asian doesn’t mean you’re not a foreigner though.

Yeah...maybe they could ease into a bit better that way.

say the name you’re an intellectual

Aren’t you wowchanyounot on instagram?

refrigerator salesman they still aren't at the skill level I would consider ready to debut. There are plenty of idols that are from other asian countries or are asian american/canadian etc., but are still at a higher level of skill. May it be because they had more training or innate abilities and they also have to adapt to a new culture. Also they usually don't let trainees debut if they aren't fluent in korean or they will get super short parts until they are fluent. EXP got a lot of unreasonable hate, but they still don't live up to the Kpop standart just yet imo. Hopefully that will change with more training and hopefully people will accept them if they come out with high quality music^-^

say the name said it perfectly

I don't know if Koreans would pay money to go the cinema to watch 'Superman', 'Harry Potter' or 'Spiderman' played by a Korean. You may say you will but if you're investing in such a movie, do you think you will make or lose money?

Lol ur pfp matches your comment😂😂

aight buddy id suggest doing research before you go dissing kpop. first, it would be great if you could speak proper english. second, rap and hipop are every important parts of korean culture, and you cannot say that it belongs to 'americans.' there are extremely good rappers all over korea, and if you gave any a try, you would see that.

the_plague *doctor* kpop was inspired by American pop music... that’s why it’s called Korean pop.... Drums also originated from China and guitars originated from Spain. So you’re saying that only American music has rap? You uncultured swine😂 Also, they fucking have the freedom to dye their hair any color they want and to do whatever they want

When someone integrates your culture, cohesively learns your language, and mimics the general style, that's called a compliment. Especially, when done in earnest. Is their something illogical about someone adopting the basic fundamental culture of some place, in which they live? Why would you not inculcate integration of your homeland culture, religion, community, family, and the common core of where you reside? "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" "Satire is the sincerest form of truth"

I stole Tae’s Suga Kookie ,I agree

True.

Child labour is illegal in most countries…

They love to blame America but majority of people protecting kpop are people in Korea I've seen it they'll tell black people not to do kpop because they're not Korean or live there and it's Lowkey racist and they'll be mad if we told them not to do kpop rap techno rock and roll country music blues r&b and more they must've forgotten that kpop was literally based off African American culture if it wasn't for African Americans kpop wouldn't be in existence

facts USA needs to chill out

Koreans didn't invent pop, they didn't really create anything in K-Pop. All of this is stuff they took from Americans/Europeans and then corporatized/manufactured to a deeper level.

Honestly that's what throws me off the most. The one who looks half asian is not as old looking though just super mature

I think it’s their makeup. For some reason it kinda just makes them look... older in a way?

lisa ROXXI sandoval stfu. Nobody asked you 🙄

lisa ROXXI sandoval- BTS has things going for them tho....Sorry, I don't want to come off as one of those annoying Armies. I just had the need to defend the ones I stan.

im here for a daddy kpop group tbh

yet foriegn kpop fans somehow get mad saying everybody singing in korean has to for some reason be korean, and can't just go "it's unusual, and doesn't apeal to me". like kpop is such an oversatutated market that almost every group thats not super mainstream caters to a specific nitche. also like 50% of people are saying they shouldn't be allowed because they're old. honesty fuck that, people who are older can start careers. like they'd seriously stop listening to someone when they hit 30?

Of course their not gonna show koreans saying that they don't want to expose a person that's gonna speak negativly on a person on a big youtube base duhhhh

Officially Kook that's what im saying!! Like all this foreigners in the kpop industry worked hard to learn how to dance, rap/sing better and learn korean fluently if they want to be as successful as them then work hard like them

I think a big part of the problem is the sole reason they’re white, and that’s sad. Like duh it’s a little different to have non-Koreans in kpop, but for some reason, like half of the kpop community online hates white people??? I don’t get it but I’ve noticed. And they didn’t train as much as normal idols, but they were started as some girl’s project... I don’t think she wanted to wait 3+ years to get her project going :// but i think even if their Korean skills improved, people will just hate them bc their race. Sad.

Officially Kook is IT because they're white. y'all just don't want to admit it. even if they were an incredibly talented group, they'd still be getting shit for not being asian.

Listen to Pentagon - Shine theres quite a few foreign kpop idols from japan/china or other places that dont speak perfect korean. this is a dumb argument lmao. i dont think theyre very good either but blaming your hate on their level of fluency is idiotic

BTS outtalented and outsold sis I AM perfectly fine with them being white??? I could literally care less about what race they are. The only reason I don’t like them is because they obviously did NOT train even 1/5 the amount a normal kpop idol or trainee would. I really appreciate the fact that they are trying to improve themselves after debut but I’m just saying that maybe just MAYBE if they trained as normal trainees do and learned basic korean pronunciation before debut then they would get as much hate.

Isabella Delazerda lol

Isabella Delazerda yess finally someone brought it up

PERIODTTTT

Why are they controversial? I just found about them like an hour ago lol

@@starlight.genesis It's cause they aren't actually asian, even tho i don't really have a problem with non asians in kpop. (although there is a Korean member). But that's not only why, they don't speak korean and they didn't really train that well. Their song was badly mixed and produced too. Also they kinda act koreabish? idk tho Also, some parts of their choreography has been stolen from everglow and Blackpink, editing was stolen from TXT. But the main reason people have hate for them is because of false rumours made by antis. Some of the rumours are that they are in the same company as Oli London, another one is that one of the members shipped herself with Jungkook, and another that their fandom name is "Koochie" , also they supposedly called jennie lazy, I'm not sure about that tho. Also a rumour is that their "lightstick" (which looks terrible) got released, which is false too. Overall i think they have potential if they trained harder and if their company didn't steal everything. So yeah that's my explanation lol

Ikr I just looked at some of his older photos and tbh he's 🔥🔥

I LOVE ASTRO

I think if they really want to be an actual Kpop group they need to boost up their Korean skills. Most foreign Kpop artist speak really good Korean but these guys doesn't

As K-Pop is, as you said by definition, Korean pop music, many would assume it to only be produced by Koreans, or others that LOOK to be Eastern Asian. However, with examples such as Alex from RANIA, Sam Okyere, Han Hyeon Min, and others, you can DEFINITELY make it as a K-Pop idol, despite your appearance. Really, you can easily make it into the industry if you have talent, drive, education, and some good looks (in usual cases with entertainment companies). If you have the will to, go one ahead and make it happen! K-Pop and the Koreas as a whole are fairly new, and who knows what can be said a few years along the line? The thing is: 1. Many Koreans and K-Pop fans love the beauty and talent that the natives of Korea have, which is why they like to see them more. Because they’re USED to it. However, with groups such as this and others that will definitely be created, anything can change. 2. You’ll need to work fairly harder. And this isn’t just for African-Americans, Africans, or other races that may have darker skin tones. This can be said about anyone who isn’t Korean. It’ll be very hard to make it because of Korea’s beauty standards, but many still do. You’ve got this! *FIGHTING!!*

K-Pop Entertainment ill join in mate, lets meet up and make a black kpop group

AMEN

K-Pop Entertainment its not just race and that they didn’t train, they aren’t skilled enough rn. If they were much more talented in singing/dancing/rapping then it would be ok. Death threats are too much tho

Did you skip the bit where they take classes and casually chat with fans in Korean?

@@RedHair651 did you skip the part where others said that their pronunciation was not on point.

This is a subject where only us whose race is chinese japenese korean will understand. for chinese language whenever any american and anybody from the western culture WILL always sound weird when they speak the language and its because of their accent so we usually refer to it as the ah mo accent(at least in where i stay) Same goes for korean So shut up next time

T̶e̶a̶s̶p̶o̶o̶n̶ Mouthful of Suga girl that's a lot more than a quick fix

and kinda look younger because some of them look maybe in the late 20 or maybe early 30

I _think_ it's easier for Asians to look younger than white people because Asians usually have softer jawlines and more fat cells in their faces I believe, and (insert other scientific facts here that I'm too lazy to search up) so I think white people have a shorter amount of time to audition, and Asians have an advantage with the age range being wider.

T̶e̶a̶s̶p̶o̶o̶n̶ Mouthful of Suga good points! If I’m not mistaken, I remember watching a documentary that said Kpop is a monopoly of the big talent agencies such as SM entertainment and JYP. There have been many Kpop bands come and go but SM and JYP have the formula and the agency to help their talents make it to the top. Not saying bands from unknown agencies are snuffed out by JYP and SM but they dominate the market so do have the pattern of influence to trump smaller talent agencies and their bands.

Im sorry but ALL Kpop is super Cringy

Their youngest is 1993

@@yurix6072 I said they "look", not that they are. Plus, there are actors, actresses and idols in korea that are in their 30's almost 40 that look younger than them. For example Jang Nara(36), Song Joong Ki(33) and many others. And I get it that it's because of "genetics", but this gives you the prespective of why they're not getting popular. They look too old to be idols.

refrigerator salesman how is it racism when i’m white myself. I might have sounded a little weird, but here’s what i mean.. kpop is Korean pop, sang in Korean mostly by Koreans. To me it’s just weird and wrong when you throw that whole concept around and create a kpop group full of white boys who don’t even speak Korean fluently. It just doesn’t sound right to me. It’s just an opinion, just like how i respect others opinions others should respect mine too. I don’t like them that much, i’m not hating on them or posting negative comments under their music videos or anything. You may like them, that’s fine but it’s just not it for me.

refrigerator salesman Lmfao you can’t even be racist to white people.

i also think its doesnt really suit them, also their singing skills...are not so good. but just let em do what they want.

It’s cos it’s different, new and unique something that we haven’t seen in the industry

because theyre racist. it's like saying country is for whites, rap is for blacks and mariachi bands are always mexican. Either youre racist or you be inclusive, you cant pick and choose.

@@hxnxp04 I can see with that and your other senseless comments under this video that your opinion is that just asians are "allowed" in Kpop, am I right? then please tell me would it be okay if a Turkish a Russian a Arab or a Indian(etc.) person would become a idol because all of them are asians, so would that be okay for you or do you think that just east and south east asians can become Kpop idols? and would it be okay for you if just American people could act in Hollywood movies and asians not. please answer my questions so that I can understand you opinion about white people in Kpop better?

@@hxnxp04 Please answer my questions 1.why should just east and south east Asians be in Kpop what's with south, central or west asians (Indians, Arabians, Kazakhs or people from any other asian country) why wouldn't they be okay in Kpop for you, they all are asians even though they don't look `asian`. Where is the difference between an Indian and a Japanese in Kpop? 2. Your right with saying that the most asians in American movies are asian-american but this has the reason that they have to speek English perfectly and most mainland asians are not the best English speekers but what's with Steven yeun(born in Seoul), Henry golding(born in Kuching), ki hong lee(born in Seoul), Chrystal Liu( born in Wuhan) and I could tell you hundred more NOT AMERICAN asians who played in famous American movies. All of them are not from America but still actors in America, so why shouldn't westerners be in Kpop, like if they speak Korean well where is the fuckin problem. 3. I talked about this topic with my Korean friends and yes they life in Korea and all of them told me that they wouldn't have a problem with non asians in Kpop and their are also videos about that topic where Koreans say that they don't mind, but you a person which probably isn't even Korean is deciding for a country that you don't even belong to. please stop deciding what people can't do just because of their looks and nationality everybody should have a chance to fulfill their dreams, if they want to be idols that's should be okay and no Im not a fanboy and I don't like their music either but I don't hate them because of their origins just like you.

@@dario57787 I aint reading all that bye

ITS a mockumentary about kpop

I feel they could suit a ballad style more , due to them being older than the average Koop group

Exactly what I was thinking.

I haven’t listened to any of their songs yet as of writing this comment, but I kind of agree. They have the same feel as that of Chad Future. Trying too hard to look cool. They seem relatively more authentic though since they actually took the time to learn Korean (and not just memorize Korean lyrics) and spent time IN Korea. I’m not averse to their ages, but it DOES look awkward. It could also be because they don’t have the formal training unlike actual Korean teens who trained specifically for this. They were just gathered up by a student and started practice from there. Hence the feeling of inauthenticity and awkwardness. Plus if they started doing this at that late an age, they’re not gonna be able to do more interesting and complex choreographies. Edit: Okay I just watched their Stress MV and hey it wasn’t that bad. The tallest dude has an awesome voice, and the rapper was actually pretty good. They just needed a better producer, choreographer, videographer...better everything, to be honest. But on their own, they’re okay.

Their pronunciation is not great either, honestly. When they speak, it's not so bad, but the singing is choppy.

Exactly. Theres nothing wrong with non-koreans wanting to be singers in korea. The problem is the fact that they act like they are a teenage kpop group. They behave like cute teen idols, but they are adults and they look like adults. Sorry but is IS really cringey. They need to get a more mature vibe, or else no one will take them seriously

Ikr

totally. our idols get death threats too so i know too, what i feel for these men, they don’t deserve it at all

they definitely do not deserve death threats, whoever sent those really need a sit down with some councillors... but we can’t force people to agree with this too, it’s a completely different thing to what people are used to. in my opinion, kpop groups should consist of only asian members, but that’s my opinion, i’m not going to hate on those who agree with the whole idea of change. i remember there was a group with a french girl, they got so much hate which was sad. i just think that if you don’t agree with it, just say that rather than wishing death upon people.

Notorious SWG BTS you know damn well there are idols that barely train and debut and become popular. don't lie, you dislike the fact that they're white

bunny miller yeah I know but it’s not the same thing. kpop is a more refined version of pop (that’s neither a good or bad thing to just how it is and give it the ‘kpop sound’) so yes I agree it’s got lots of western elements it’s still got a different ‘sound’ compared to just pop :)

I guess they should do something that fits more of their image like English Indie or Rock even if they don’t have an appreciation for it, huh?

Steven Duong I mean that’s not what I was saying but go off 💀

___-- it’s not that.. it’s more like “what are those old men doing in kpop?” One of the reasons why kpop is popular is because of their looks.. young and pretty looking. But those guys (except koki) They are look like 30 or 40.. They look to old for kpop

Looks or age has nothing to do with music

Nap shine,, yes really true although I don’t like there music it’s just my opinion but I feel like they shouldn’t be treated like that just because of there looks or where there from.

LMFAO HONESTLY KOKIS FINE BUT EVERYONE ELSE LOOKS LIKE MIDDLE AGED DADS

chunqha wow, they trained, sweat their bottoms, off, and danced the night away, and always, dreamed. and, that comment....

@@natalie2730 ok it doesn't mean they don't look like middle aged dads lmao

chunqha it’s not nice, to assume, someones age, just by their looks,

Sabrina Kitoko what's wrong with looking 40?

White people age physically at a faster rate than other groups of people

They don't really "age" faster, their skin is more sensitive and prone to damage so it just gets damaged more as they age. But studies about development, fertility, onset of menopause, menarchy and life stepectancy actually have shown that white people ten to mature and age at a slower rate. That is probably a good thing for whites, since it means whites live longer lives and have longer fertility periods, they have better succès when it comes to fertility treatments at older ages... This might not be inherently biological though, and external factors like poverty and stress can affect the rate at which you age, black people face more poverty and stress and this is linked to early sexual development in children and shorter life spans

Murder rate****

Sh4m3l3ss Sk4nkh0 You're only proving us right about police brutality lmao

Joyce 😂😂

Water is wet

louder for the ignorants in the back!

katlala true

i mean he's the only one who looks kinda young... i don't​ think she has a fetish

The asian guy and the blonde guy are the only two that look maybe young enough. The other two guys look like they’re late 30s or something. Its just too jarring compared to traditional kpop groups looks.

I have yet to see a half-Japanese, half-European person that wasn't good-looking. Those genes seem to play well together.

True

Jon Ratchford this is the best comment ever 💀

fuck you they are trying to achieve their dreams how would you feel if you were doing something that you love and someone said"this is the longest snl skit😂😂" i bet you would be pissed they are actually pretty good and i stan them if your just here to spread hate then you can leave ok?

everythinginanormallife with caprice relax it’s a joke.

sudo princess sorry i got out of hand i just really like exp

everythinginanormallife with caprice this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone say they like exp no hate but what exactly do you like about them?

K pop is basically an exact copy of American pop music

+ Erock Stoenescu Really? What is difference among all pop music from the rest of the world? By the way, which country had the origin of "pop music" then who copied it first"?

People are idiots and think you have to be of a certain race to be of that culture of said race. Being of a race doesn't mean you download a bunch of culture data when you're born. It's not the matrix where you turn a certain age and automatically learn ancestral music that dates back to your root or modern culture. You can endow yourself with culture by living in a place where those cultural practices are taught. Cultural appropriation is just people getting away with racism by saying XYZ can't XYZ. People that cry cultural appropriation are doing the same things white supremacists wish they could do. Which is tell white people they shouldn't integrate with other races in away way, shape, or form. These people are too stupid to understand this though.

@@erockstoenescu6171 Well the modern pop music was pioneer by ABBA and other similar pop groups at the time. ABBA didn't invent pop music they pioneered it. What I mean by pioneer is that they took other forms of music and made something distinctly different. No genres of music just pop out of thin air. They are all adopted from other forms of music which spread all over the world. Pop came from rock n roll. If you go back further rock n roll came from jazz and soul. There was definitely pop music before ABBA but it was ABBA that pioneered the more modern pop style that is still used today.

Geez not all Americans are going against this

ChocolatBownie I think thats a fair point.

I hope they don’t get into the big 3 companies, so they can disband in a few years and go back to where they came from. There are small kpop groups who are actually Korean/asian who have better talent than them and they can’t even make their group popular. Only reason why these men would be known is for their race

Precisely

pretty much. I also assume cause they couldn't hack it in western music industry either.

Have you ever watched any of their live performances bec I've been a kpop fan for 9 years and in all fairness, their live is better than most kpop groups, even some of the famous ones. They don't perform with very loud AR and just lip sync like what others normally do. And yeah, their dancing is still lacking but there's potential.

@Exmortis 999 Beacause many people hear/watch kpop because of the visuals etc., and not just for the music, they want pretty looking people to be their idols, not just men in their 30.. Btw. that's not what i think about it, just how it mostly is.

it's so stupid that people think they can't be a band because of their age. do they have less apeal? yes. but are there people who don't care about age or prefer older/more simular to their age people? yes. you shouldn't be stopped from doing something because you aren't young.

@@seisogaijin3749 no one said, that they shouldn't do it. They just shouldn't wonder why they aren't successfull.

@@unplayednamer0165 no dude. there are litterally people in the comments section saying they're too old and hence too unattractive to be able to be a group. I agree that being older decreases apeal, but some people are seriously out there saying older people can't do it because they're "too old" and they think that all kpop idols have to be young and attractive, and not looking perfect somehow breaks the rules of kpop

Excuse you do they look old to you? You are the one who look old like asia people look so old

honestly just let market decide whether they can make in kpop, people can decide if they want to buy they re albums !

I feel like she just actually like kpop idols but can't communicate so why not make a kpop group instead. Lol

All peoples dreams are experiments bro

@@DublinJimmy80 i have to disagree with that statement. People have dreams and in order for them to reach those dreams is that they have to work hard for it. However, it doesn't mean that they are free from the struggles in this world.

I dont think its a bad thing if she take cares of them.

Same army
