Meanwhile has an avatar of Hwasa that used the n-word in her Beyoncé cover, wore blackface to parody Uptown Funk…
1. It's true Mamamoo did blackface before, but they apologized to the black community and never did it again. In fact, they are among the few of Kpop groups who are supportive of the BLM movement. 2. Hwasa only said the n-word once out of ignorance because she was given the explicit lyrics of Irreplaceable. Of course, she was not fluent in English so she read the lyrics off of Melon without knowing the meaning of it. She never said it again. 3. Hwasa never called herself an "African unnie". A fan called her that. How can she call herself unnie when she is the maknae of the group. 4. What Hwasa wore on the show is a kaftan, mind you it's not even exclusive to one race. To be specific, it is called a Korean Nida which can be worn in saunas. She just wants to pull off a sauna look leave her alone.
I guess I may have gone overboard by calling a show outrightly racist, but you don't have to spread misinformation about a person just to prove your point. I just can't tolerate shows that use cultural appropriation as a device for comedy. The writers and the pdnims should've done better especially in this political climate where people can get killed just for the color of their skin. It just furthers the spread of ignorance in Korea on issues about racism and colorism. We can't deny that anti-blackness is still a problem in Korean society.
who is the traitor? who is the first one to get resurrected? who is young shin? why does it seem like lord ahn is already an expert in killing the infected? so many loose ends
me: wow, this is so problematic. miss kim wants to resign so that she can take care of herself and her love life more. so, mr. lee decides he will just marry her in order for her to stay as his secretary forever. uGH, men really want things to be about them all the time.
