PLAYBACK on IDOLIC GOT 10 Countdown show!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=566&v=5Pjxh7Rj2Hw

Starts @ 4:50

 

Sidenote: While Hayoung was rapping she used the B-word and the N-word.. her usage of the N-word might be taken offensively but as an African American myself I don't think it was offensive because she was rapping a Nicki Minaj song word for word. I think that if you listen to music from another country and don't understand the cultural significance of the words, they don't hold as much weight as someone in America, of another race who understands why you shouldn't use specific words. Plus she wasn't saying that word out of malice, she was simply using the song lyrics as a way to show her rapping ability and as a fan of Nicki, she was trying to imitate a rapper she admires.

 

Anyways, just thought I would give my two cents on it, just in case this becomes an issue in the future (you know how these things can be blown out of proportion)

 

I think she did well, and I hope to see her get decent rap parts in future Playback songs!

Didn't she live in America or something? or did she learn the language on her own?

 

 

Someone said the n word?

Welp. Had so much hope for this child. Just washed down the drain.

Yeah, I forgot she is from the USA.. she should have known better. But, I'm really surprised they didn't at least sensor the use of the B-word, but maybe this show is strictly an online one so they don't really need too. I still hold to my opinion of her not using it to be disrespectful but just because she was imitating Nicki. She also didn't say N**ger which would have been truly offensive. I'll let this issue go, but maybe send a message to Playbacks Social media account on Twitter to ask her to censure the N-word if she plans to continue to rap Nicki M. songs as examples of her talents. This can't happen in a public broadcast variety show. Since Got 10 isn't a major show it might go unnoticed but a show on regular TV, it most likely won't. Stuff like this can be blown up by international fans. *SMH*

Did you actually watch the Youtube video I posted before you decided your opinion?

Ehh I don't think its a big deal. I mean if people don't want other people to say those types of words they shouldn't put it in their music. I don't know if children watch that show but I guess it's for mature audiences since they didn't beep out the words lol

Right, I'm exactly with you on this, it's very different to imitate someone using those words in their music. Korean celebrities in general come from a culture that doesn't teach them racial sensitivity because unlike those who grow up in countries that have racial diversity, Korea doesn't get exposed to other cultures as much. That isn't a great excuse but since she isn't outright calling someone the N-word but instead quoting song lyrics word for word, what she did isn't harmful and is excusable in this instance. However, I did send a message to Playback's official facebook and twitter account asking that she substitute the N-word for "guy". "boy", "dude" or some other word that basically means a slang word for man, because in the context of the song, Nicki is basically talking about a Black guy, but because of the words double meaning it really can't be used comfortably by someone other than Nicki or someone of the same race as her.

She was rapping the original lyrics. If you're really bothered by that you should also tell Nicki Minaj to not use the n-word in her songs in the first place.

 

Also english swear swords aren't usually censored in Korea.
