HYBE/ADOR's Descriptor Of NewJeans and Their Upcoming EP

[Walmart Goddess]

They are going to get HUGELY overshadowed by the other girl group hybe debuted recently. The visuals in that group are no joke.

"Producer MIN HEE JIN has always created innovative artist brands by going against the grain of the K-pop industry to set trends rather than follow them"

This is the BIGGEST joke i have ever heard. Okay if you really want to "go against the grain", then hire some Blasians, hire people who haven't done plastic surgery, and hire people through merit and not nepotism/classism. K Thanks bye.

Ouch, this American-centric take. Southeast Asians get so much xenophobic hate in Korea, even the most succesful ones like Lisa are sometimes considered as a liability for their group's image because they bring in SEA fans. Having a Vietnamese member in a group backed by one of the biggest Kpop agencies is indeed going against the grain.

so its considered american centric to support blasians? 

and no. Hiring a light skin asian in a kpop group is not considered going against the grain. It 2022, we've already been had SEA members for a while. They are hired even more than mixed Eurasian members. Please get your facts straightened before making posts.  I swear i be getting the hybe fans and employees so mad that they show their true racist colors.

Also your obsession with nepotism & classism is getting tiring. Every single field in the world works like that, that's called "social capital". A tale as old as time. Even supposedly equalitarian societies like USSR worked through connections.

Be tired then. I will bring it up everytime. The members that be the most unattractive and untalented be the ones getting a free ride from this mess.

Your wording make it seem like you consider that Blasians can only originate from America, so... 

nah, you implied that it was "american centric" to criticize korean companies for their racial bias, colorism and racism.

this type of deflection only comes from someone who is hella racist.

What's American centric here is to undermine the xenophobia faced by Southeast Asians in Korea

where did i undermine anything? I never even brought up ANYTHING about the foreign member. Only you did (presumably because you are Viet and really biased)

I merely commented that they aren't doing anything thats going against the grain. Which is true. A half white member, foreign asian member that is light skinned, korean members that look like typical idols were already see. Its nothing but the same old same old.
