Unless your faves are Gfriend You have NO RIGHT to complain about appropriation in terms of Kpop

[Corysilk]

Yall are picking and choosing when to be offended and its annoying as hell.  The reason most of yall even got into Kpop is because you were drawn to Korean people making black music and dancing like black boy bands from the 90s.  Why is it ok for them to appropriate your sound and dance moves but not your hairstyles?  I'm sorry but unless you only stan pure kpop groups who don't have a hint of western influence, you are a hypocrite.

I'm sorry but my faves are IU and BoA and I don't recall them ever appropriating black music. Like I got into kpop because of BoA and at the time I became a fan of her, she was being marketed as a Jpop singer. My other faves are Lovelyz and Day6 and uh, their music don't sound like black music either? 

 

(also another reason I got into kpop was because overall, it reminded not of 90s black boy bands, but because it reminded me of the days of N Sync, Backstreet Boys, and 90s-era Britney Spears, and none of them were black).

my fave in that group is Yuju and iirc she hasn't done anything of the sort. Same with Umji.

everyone copies black people but there is a line between inspiration and mockery

[sakurahanabira]

I'm sorry, but since when has IU, BoA, Lovelyz, Dreamcatcher, or Infinite ever appropriated black culture? 

 

And why do you limit appropriation to only black culture? Plenty of Kpop idols have appropriated indigenous cultures such as Native American culture, Indian and other South Asian cultures, etc. Are you seriously saying people can't complain when Kpop groups/idols appropriate non-black cultures?

what stupid logic.  you can like something and criticize it when it does something stupid at the same time.
