why do people use the-racist-card when we say we don't like zgirls/zboys' concept?

I find this project ridiculous and I don't give a fuck that some random thot is gonna call me racist on twitter


 


I mean having a KPOP group with no Korean members whatsover 


what's the point?

They can just make music in the country where most members are from or something


 


Also don't use "Twice has 4 foreign members" excuse to me


 


Twice still has 5 Korean members , so you can't even compare these two situations 


 


So don't be afraid of stan twitter , express your opinion .


NOT LIKING THIS IDEA DOESN'T MAKE YOU RACIST


 


they just wanna make these nugus relevant by hating on you , that's all

Korean groups or literally any musician from all over the world can go to release music in America and realease American pop music. As long as the language is korean why is it suddenly weird if ppl want to make kpop groups. It’s sign of growth in their music industry if ppl from other nations want to break out in their market.

 

Kpop groups release so much content in japan and China. Some release more content in japan than even Korea :derp:

kpop groups release music in USA and Japan , but they're still considered a KPOP group .

Also America is not a country of only one race , the music is diverse .

KPOP is made for Koreans (majority of people living in SK obviously) because they didn't get recognition in America so they made their own entertainment

Well you don't see all these full korean groups debuting in Japan being dragged as being fake JPOP. In fact I've seen many Kpop fans using SNSD, KARA, BIGBANG, BTS etc and their Japanese releases as examples of JPOP music and there's not a single Japanese member in these groups.

Not gonna lie, Z-Pop and EXP kinda rub me the wrong way

It feels intrusive, idk.

Like, they're going to debut on a different and homogenous country, not as a side thing (like kpop groups debuting in Japan) but as their main market

They're not korean (as in their nacionality) to want to start their career in Korea (if they were immigrants or child of immigrants, then I would understand)

 

This is probably a very confusing post, because all of this is confusing for me... I think if they had at least one korean member each then I wouldn't be feeling this way

You’re focusing on schematic. They will be releasing music in korean and it’s pop music hence kpop. What exactly is is your problems here? That they’re promoting in Korea releasing korean music or that something multi cultural exists? Your problem is just the name kpop?

 

You’ll be fine with them if they weren’t called a kpop group but release music in Korean :’D? From what you’re saying this is what I understand.

 

Not at kpop fans saying that ppl can’t release music in other languages. When literally that’s all kpop groups do. Korean Japanese Chinese.

well, i-fans are wrong then. nobody in japan would call those groups jpop, they also promote themselves as kpop groups in japan.

But Korea is not a multicultural country, that's why it feels so... weird and unnatural.

And as someone above said, kpop groups singing in other languages don't make them less kpop because their main market is Korea.

This is... different.

because it's stan twitter.

also, i don't think it's a matter of 'being korean' as much as being able to speak the language and know the culture. i really can't understand why anyone would go to a foreign country without knowing the language and culture and want to release music targeted towards the country's public. it seems a bit nonsensical if you ask me.

if you know the language though, go for it.

You do indeed sound xenophobic now. Esp because I’m assuming you’re not korean and hence these feelings are even more unfounded and bizarre. Ppl didn’t try to break out into kpop or Korean because their music scene wasn’t as popular. With the growing popularity of their music scene it seems utterly silly to say that ppl shouldn’t venture into a successful music market.

 

Since the ‘kpop’ group releasing in japan are ALL Koreans it’s easy to say that they are a ‘korean’ group promoting in japan instead of jpop. But the music they release is still Japanese and pop and many ppl do enjoy these releases How would u even categorize a multi cultural group. Ok don’t call them a kpop group if you don’t want. But there’s nothing wrong in them being a group that releases music in Korean. And miss me with knowing the language kpop idols don’t know Japanese and Chinese or English to release music in those countries.

 

I really do not see any problem here other than referring to them as ‘kpop group’ which seems to offend sentiments.

Kpop groups go to Japan and release music all the time without knowing shit besides Konnichi wa and y’all don’t say shit ☠ï¸â˜ ï¸â˜ ï¸â˜ ï¸ Is the problem for y’all really not knowing the language

But aren’t they technically classified as Koreaboos? I’m confused, the whole thing is pretty weird ngl

since when has non korean asians being in the kpop industry made them "koreaboos"?? lisa is a koreaboo now? tzuyu, mina, sana, momo? like it really is no different than random forign members in other kpop groups. 

 

its funny how people are telling them to go make music in their own countries but don't say that to all the chinese, thai, and japanese idols in kpop. just because some of the members are southeast asian or what?

OP if you didnt care about people calling you racist why did you make this thread

 

zgirls/boys are a group from a korean company, coming from a korean trainee system, releasing music in korean to promote the korean genre. they are a kpop group. the only thing i see being a problem is they don't seem to have a korean national, which could hinder them from gaining korean fanbase, but seeing how global kpop is becoming idt that's their final frontier anyways.

false equivalency, those groups aren't considered jpop/apop

 

an actual equivalent example would be weather girls, a jpop group composed solely of taiwanese girls. 

 

also honey popcorn

im sure there are sizeable populations of the ethnicity of zgirls/boys that live in korea. so it's not that strange.

What makes a group K-Pop or J-Pop is the agency behind them who is debuting this group. Other than that, it doesn't and shouldn't matter whether they are Korean or not. 

 

If a Korean agency is debuting a group that is singing, promoting and performing in Korea, it's a K-Pop group. No matter where the members are originally from.

So what’s a koreaboo then? I’m curious

I find it weird that they don't have a korean member but are debuting in korea tbh, if they were a j-pop group it would make better sense since they have a japanese member. They are going to have a lot of trouble trying to get them into activities outside of music shows if they don't speak korean, or even having a member hit big unless they can promote them in tv shows. For example, even if their songs hit big, how would they go to shows if they won't be able to understand and talk to the host.

But I never said it's wrong or they shouldn't debut in Korea

I probably worded that post in a bad way tho, so I'm sorry

What I meant is that it feels weird that they are going to a country that barely has any other culture or ethinicity other than Korean (and even if it has some groups of people of diffferent cultures and ethnicities, it's not significant enough or relevant enough to mold Korea's culture - aside from maybe the east asians and SEA) to debut and become successful there, and it's even worse in z-pop's case because as someone already said, some of them don't want to have anything to do with Korea.

 

It doesn't matter what you say, but it doesn't feel organic to me. I'm not against them debuting, tho.

someone who legitimately wants to be korean. just learning korean and living in korea, stuff like that doesn't automatically mean someone wants to legitimately change their race or ethnicity to be korean.

Aha okay. My bad, you’re right!
