Kpop music (as all music) is rightfully and obviously for everyone but i'm kinda surprised how big of a lesbian following kpop groups like mamamoo and dreamcatcher have and to some extent TXT, with other groups it doesnt seem to be that way.

Meanwhile for girl groups it's just full of hate comments even if they did not do as many or as severe problematic things as boy groups. Her confidence has grown through the years, due in part to her role models such as Beyonce and Rihanna, with Hwasa even saying in a now viral video Soon, I found myself promising this: If I dont fit into this generations standard of beauty, then I will have to become a different standard but prejudice based off looks has always been the sore button topic for her.

Mamamoo is a 4 member girl group under Rainbow Bridge World whose members are Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein and Hwasa and they made their debut on 19th June 2014. Shaun of @shaun_vids on Twitter said recently in response to another girl's hate storm against her that mirrors the exact same patterns as Mamamoo's, If someone does something worthy of criticism, and that criticism is then directly delivered thousands of times by different people (a section of whom will go much too far and be genuinely abusive), it all just merges into abuse in the perception of the one being criticised.. Also of note, Mamamoo participated in and won the 2019 Queendom, coming in first place against such idols as (G)I-DLE, AOA, Oh My Girl, Park Bom, and Lovelyz. It is continued bashing and harassment of four girls, who for all accounts dont deserve it. The world doesnt revolve around America and our issues, not everyone has their eyes on America 24/7. And despite Hwasa's fans attempting to set the record straight through her own apologies and explanations, the hashtag continued to be used by many to troll the idol. The company even took it down same day and cut it out so to make sure that it was offending people. So trend they did. They apologized. The media and antis take things and blow it way out of proportion. Recently the show aired a special live on the YouTube channel of I Live Alone. document.querySelector("#google_image_div").addEventListener('click',function(){ For the writer herself, she said she used to stan Mamamoo and doesn't anymore because of the problematic things they've done. Theres no point calling people too sensitive, especially when the stuff pointed out causes many problems, for fans and also the members themselves (for example, Kai has shown numerous times that he is upset by/fed up with the comments on his skin). I dont know how familiar you are with vixx, but N is constantly put down by hisfriends about his appearance (specifically his skin color) and one of the things Kangin criticised him for was his self confidence, which honestly, was really, really rude and definitely uncalled for. I included links to a post explaining why Siwons alleged homophobic comment was extremely dubious and likely to be untrue, though I guess I probably shouldnt have included it at all (I assumed people would go to the link). The next big issue made public came when Solar dressed up as a Korean beggar from Train to Busan (2016) for their next ending concert video. }); hitType: 'event', It's harder to get exposed to these issues that we know about under their circumstances, but once Mamamoo comes across them and understand, they'll learn from it. They make a difference. The other day it was revealed that two major idols were dating, and before I had even seen the news article, I was in a Mamamoo fan group-chat, and someone sent out the link of the dating news with their comment under being, be on high alert for hwasas tags. However it did look dumb not going to lie not a good look and hopes she does not it again. I recently fell in love with these girls again after I took a break from kpop. My hiatus is indefinite, but its unlikely Ill be running it again any time soon. Mamamoo are good, genuine people. . Like who is the next ethnicity youre going to offend? (Also just a little side note, I know people arent aware and I havent specified it on this blog, but please dont refer to me with she/her pronouns!

But that explanation was also not bought by many. }); Ill probably look for another video of the same segment at some point but I dont have time right now. Im getting upset the more I think about it lol but really its just a lot of misconceptions; sometimes culturally and linguistically, that Americans like to hold a grudge against. There are so many kids in the . Daily persecution? Honestly there is nothing wrong with what they said. While it is common for artists to tease their comebacks for up to a month, the time they spend on promoting the new music in conventional ways such as music shows and variety show appearances has decreased by . They could learn about Korean values and customs online, but they'll never truly understand the severity of it because they're not from that culture where it's significant. I found out that they did blackface which is disgusting and heartbreaking cause I really liked them so I stewed on it for a few days and looked again and found that they had apologised that same day 2x and that they also apologised in person the next day concert. But seeing these articles faze me. I'm a fairly new Mamamoo fan and I was hearing a lot about them being super problematic towards black people(so being black) I decided to some research to find out. So many public figures coming out and vouching for Mamamoos talent and success only continues to prove their worth and value to the world.

I really dislike fat girls. I dont make these lists with the intent of ruining the idols image or spreading misinformation (which by the way, if I do again, please call me out on it because otherwise I have no other way of knowing). People always said they do so much CA and I tried to find some examples but the only one that again seemed to be twisted was them appropriating Indian culture during AZE GAG but that was misconstrued as it was about Buddhism not Hindu culture even the line is the song is about Buddhism and one of the members is Buddhist so I don't have a massive issue with it. You can decide to remove them from your lives, not support them, not give them any attention, money or time, but death threats? It's just crazy how haters can twist every single thing. ; _____; aaaa. For a lot of other controversies in Korea (like addressing an older person informally), international fans may not understand those issues as well as Koreans and believe that it's no big deal. To be honest, I wish Id made the suju post more like the exo one, because the exo one included a lot of the stuff people are criticising me for leaving out of this one. ga('ads.send', { Its probably my fault for not communicating that clearly enough though. It's incredibly frustrating dealing with these kinds of people. hitType: 'event', okay so somebody sent me a link to the video (thank you btw!) Personally, from the time that I've been a fan, Mamamoo has usually apologized/acted contrite for any controversies that they've caused. Their members consist of Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa, with Solar being the oldest and leader of the group. I don't think anything they have done has been malicious, however it was a product of maybe not being knowledgeable of what may be considered offensive to others. Non fans for all the questions, suggestions, reviews, anything. My first mistake was actually assuming that the video at the source was still there (because it had been last time I checked) and so I thought people would automatically know that he said it a long time ago judging by the video itself. On top of that, they bash the fans saying we overlook everything and that Mamamoo should have been cancelled by now. You are entitled to your own opinion, and if what Mamamoo has done is considered too ignorant or rude for you to support them anymore, that is 100% in your right to not excuse them for it. MAMAMOO's Hwasa is a cast member in the MBS reality show I live Alone (literal translation). I have no reason not to trust the 2 Korean-speaking people whove come forward and told me it isnt a mistranslation? hitType: 'event', Idols lives are super scrutinized, and I think many people just forget that idols are real people too. } They are definitely not out to hurt anybody, that I know for sure.

Yes, I should have included things such as dates. Some people are a bit skeptic of whether or not I actually like Super Junior, which I can understand, but I would like to clarify that I do. I also hear about a clown outfit she wore in one of their videos that people again try to say was blackface but how when she's naturally tan and didn't look any different than normal so I was like huh. The most ridiculous thing I have heard it that Hwasa try to be black like how by being Confident and unapologetic about her skin tone, clothing and looks cause she radiates hotness. It is common in America to wear red puffy wigs as the stereotype of a clown, however it is not as common in South Korea, which is why Hwasa wore braids as the hair to her outfit. Villain. Mamamoo are good, genuine people. I dont know if youre Korean or not (your blog doesnt say) but if you arent, I consider everything youve said invalid information. It would be easy to point to other fandoms and how they have been problematic at times but that's not helpful and just continues a cycle of hate. Yes, I should have checked the links. It was laughable because a writer had a compilation of problematic things that idol groups did and you can very clearly see the double-standards people have for boy groups and girl groups (even the writer herself).
