A kick would probably almost make you vomit and in some cases even faint? From personal experience even a seemingly light hit from something makes you feel nauseated, radiates pain to lower back and abdomen and can also easily mess up your bowels (think of like what your stomach feels like when you have diarrhea). So yeah, not fun at all. Also it depends on how low your balls are hanging when you get hit.

Nah, all areas are sensitive in varying levels. Foreskin is especially sensitive (if intact).

Really nice to see a new Co-ed group and they are amazing too! Hopefully they can make it big.

Yeah sometimes it happens completely randomly in situations where you would not want it to happen and you can't really do anything about it.

From what I remember out of the ones you listed I would say Hunter X Hunter. Also agree on Bleach and DBZ. Naruto, OP, Fairy Tail are pretty horrible at times.

Depends on how many episodes counts as "long running"? Is ~50 enough since it's twice as long as the regular 24 or do you mean the ones with more than 150 or even 200 episodes?

Playing with fire has a bit over 10mil now, not sure about the exact timing though.

Nah, doesn't matter at all. Would the reverse be a turn off for you?

First of all I have to admit that I'm not really familiar with the kpop fandom as I do not follow any idols or groups on social media sites nor have I participated in any form of discussion about them on forums before today. However, I can easily imagine what the hate posts (for differing opinions or even minor mistakes) are like on other platforms based on the immature shit flinging I've seen on music video/music show comments that I've occasionally checked. As a result I can understand this issue from the perspective of dedicated long time fans as well. I do know about the beauty standards of most Asian countries (South Korea probably having the most extreme ones), and I agree that it will take time for things to change in that front. At the same time I don't think that there is much we can do to change those perceptions aside from supporting idols that have unpopular characteristics. As I already said earlier in this thread I do not like the fact that there is some perfect standard of beauty that everyone should strive for; the fact is that people are born with different skin shades, facial shapes and body sizes and each and every one of them should be equally appreciated. Different but equal. Edit: And yes I would be equally annoyed if there was a full body caricature of EXO where Kyungsoo is drawn as a midget.

I see, I guess I came across harsher than I intended then because it's not my intention to attack his fans. I'm just here to voice my own opinion on this issue since I disagree with some of the justifications that were given in this thread. And as I said I will wait until the episode actually airs before coming to my final conclusion because from what I've seen Kyungsoo seems to be one of the more considerate members of EXO.

Yeah I watched some radio/variety shows with them featured to get to know their characteristics better, problem? I can say that he is one of the better idol singers I've seen but it doesn't mean I blindly approve of everything he does.

Nah I'm not ignoring any of the other problems but in this case I just find the skin color to be the most prominent one, considering how it has been brought up before too, and how prevalent the colorism issue is in Korea. I think they are all perfect just as they are and could not care less about their skin color, eye size, height or whatever. I also think all the shoe lifts, lid surgeries etc. are absolutely ridiculous as a result. For example you could consider the fact that Kyungsoo is not tall to be one of his positive traits because it makes him cuter to some or something? But no instead they try to hide it because it's a negative trait according to Korean standards. I've seen Kai become very awkward before when his skin color is joked about so I don't think that it's something you should draw excessive attention to, which probably wasn't even intentional in this case because Kyungsoo could not make it only slightly darker and had to go for completely black. In my opinion it would have been better to leave the color out is all. Anyway I'm reserving judgement for when the show actually airs. You have not seen me before because I became interested in EXO only recently after their collaboration with Infinity Challenge, and Kyungsoo was the member that impressed me enough to make me look for some extra information about him from forums and this "scandal" (not really lol) is the first thing that I ended up finding now...

Because he actually isn't much darker than the others? In the drawing though the others are white and one of them is black... He didn't have a lighter shade pencil so he could have instead focused on other special traits that Kai's face has. (And leave it white.)

I don't see how anyone can defend him for what he did since we are not talking about a 10 year old kid here, he is an adult and if he truly sees colorism as a bad thing he could have chosen to highlight some other traits instead of the very slightly darker skin tone. I know it was a black pencil and all but now it just looks pretty terrible when every other face is white and one of them is pitch black...
