Faggot? He said faggot? Did he seriously just wrote faggot in his lyrics? Why would you write this in your lyrics?


 


+) (explanation of what the word faggot means)

The flag was used during the civil war in America. This was used by groups to represent white supremacy by war criminals, it is the same class with nazi’s hakenkreuz. You’re telling me a flag that advocates  the slavery/discrimination towards blacks was used by a person who does hip hop? ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹


 

This really needs explanation, please.


 


+) I’ll add something. Anyways whether other singers used it or not, Zico has put it in his lyrics. I also lived in the US for not a short time. (explanation of the word faggot when OP was living in the US)


 


++) For the people who said “the clothes are the stylist’s fault†I never said that Zico should apologise for wearing the clothes. If Zico really didn’t know, then “Ah it’s the stylist’s fault, I didn’t know.†as an explanation from him should be enough.


 


+++) (more explanation about faggot because some people were arguing about it)


 


++++) (OP frustrated at the people commenting that they live in the US)


 


++++++) (explanation about OP being wrong about the info on the flag, it’s not rare that people say that the flag is actually symbol of the south and not the actual confederate flag but OP thinks that it’s still not okay to use the flag)


 


 


+++++++) Apparently the flag was used as a symbol for the KKK. Don’t need other words then. Please give a fast feedback about the clothes.


 


(T/N: GUYS, I'm really not sure about the historical backgrounds and everything so please feel free to correct me if the terms I've used are wrong. And as I learnt history in english I don't particularly know all the history terms in Korean so I searched it as well. Sorry I didn't translate the ones in brackets because most of it is the OP ranting, please also remember that this isn't an official article/news.)

Even though I did try to contact seven seasons I had zero hope that I'd actually manage to reach them. So seeing some people discussing it gives me a tiny (like it's minuscule) hope that maybe it'll reach someone...

Well lets just wait for an update. I honestly didn't know about this until someone messaged me to translate it... so maybe it just needs a little more time and exposure.

 

Thanks for translating, I was curious about this.

You're welcome. Thanks for reading~

There's a Pann article that supposedly has even more harsh words for the MV from K-netz http://pann.nate.com/talk/324732669

The pann itself is okay, quite similar to the instiz one I've posted explaining the two things. As for the comments they're all saying "oh don't you know the american history" to each other and "zico's an idiot" kinda things and some even posted translations from comments on akp. But some shielded him by saying a lot of rappers use the curse word as well and him not knowing the flag etc etc.

 

The top 4 comments though (I'll just translate them roughly):

 

[+267, -59] Is he crazy? Why does he always causes all these controversies. I really can't understand if he's trying to get popular by saying offensive words or he just doesn't have a brain...? If in the US those words are really bad then why is he using them in his lyrics... so embarrassed

 

[+228, -73] Thai incident Japan incident we're so busy shielding you and now you're making another controversy even if its of a lower level 

 

[+121, -33] Is block b's concept shaming Korea ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

 

[+88, -69] I was born in the US and grew up here too and we use that curse word often. (Continues to explain by comparing the word to shibal, saying that shibal has a bad meaning but we use it a lot anyways, same goes for faggot)
