if you read my last thoughts on here called "question why is kpop not popular in america" today we write a round 2 as a new leftist theology comes out.
is bts's win a good thing or a bad thing?
join us as we dissect the entire event.
long story short bts's win at billboard is bittersweet because bts has a past.a very misogynistic and racist and vulger one at best.
based on research bts can be heard making jokes about race lgbt people and even heard using the n word with full knowledge of what it means in the rap community's form of interpretation.
the list goes on.
in our last article we discussed how the left is trying to prove how there not racist and we also tackled the teen vouge article that unfairly categorizes kpop as a racist industry.
with bts i did acknowledge some of teen vogue points but something is clearly missing with that article so lets begin.
with bts's backround obviously kpop is not being racist now, it makes you wonder was that article really necessary?
let me explain,with bts's win at billboard it now puts teen vogue and a similar article at billboard at a disadvantage, now they will have to walk back some or if all they said about kpop to be untrue and unfounded.
why?
because you branded and entire industry as the same and you did not do your job by getting both sides infact it was one sided bias and you owe the kpop industry an apology.
speaking of.
what makes matters worse for bts is they never apologized or seemed repentant of any of there empathats.
back home in korea bts was heavily punished and sanctioned there music way too vulger to play on local radio stations and kbs themselves,kbs even blocked there songs.
requirements right up hollywood's alley.
in these articles in question notice how bts is never mentioned in there slams of kpop.
the people teen vogue chose to go after at least were sorry and were willing to make things right, contrast that to bts and you will find a reprehensible bravado an unapologetic attire, have you also noticed how bts is not included in any kcon festivities?
keep reading this excerpt and learn why.
with that backround i thought that would be a disqualification for the billboard social award and for hollywood's standards considering they claim to be "the praveyers of civil rights and social justice" and the first ones to call you out as a racist especially if your a certain skin color.
so what went wrong here?
obviously who ever translated bts's lyrics must have been real satisfied to find a group that seceded from the kpop norm or maybe somebody in hollywood read my last slam on hollywood and panicked.
so once again hollywood tries to close the gap by reaching out to just anybody who they think represents that ethnic community.what there also looking for is the rebellious type.well that anybody could be the wrong choice.tom dick and harry situations.
instead of doing your research you instead reached out to a bad influence and a stain on the kpop industry all together.if the kpop industry has had a hard time adapting to bts and finds them to be trouble making and not suitable to air shouldn't that have been a tail tell sign you should have looked elsewhere in kpop?
with that history in bts's mirror it should have turned you off to them yet you embraced them, im still scratching my head over this, unless you were under the impression they've changed they have not there just the same old way.
they may be cute on the outside but looks are deceiving.so clearly bts was not deserving of that award so even though it should be given back maybe it should not be, here's why.some people may see bts's win as an outrage but lets look at it like this it did show that a kpop group can win something in america in fact bts becomes the first kpop act to win the social award,you never know maybe it will pave the way for other kpop groups to find the courage to head to the usa and try there luck, with china closing its border to kpop the usa is prime real estate for them now, and it puts to shame hollywoods stigma "you cant speak english you dont get a record deal" as bts made there speach in english.
so about the award, i do not believe that award and title should belong to bts, if you did your research properly billboard why could you not nominate groups like exo shinee super junior girls generation mamamoo and singer iu and jessica jung,redvelvet and exo?
groups and people with stellar scandal free and charitable and family friendly backrounds perfect candidates for the award.
billboard clearly you dropped the ball on this one you totally missed the grade on this out of all kpop groups you could have chosen i know it has to be one but at least you could have chosen somebody in kpop who was truly deserving of that award and would have set a real example and a defining moment.
you had plenty of time to give snsd and exo and others there spot but you didint.
all you did billboard was reward the bad behavior, bts only cares about themselves there racist sexist and in my words "trophyistic" and bad boy behavior was a total disgrace to the kpop industry and now a disgrace to your name.
kudos to establishment kpop who have kept the pressure on bts's actions.
with bts's win its a stark contradiction to what teen vogue was trying to accomplish.
what also contradicts there point of view is when you say "we must call out kpop for there racist actions", well bts fit all the criteria yet you left them out for some reason which leads me to believe teen vogue and billboard had it in for bts and purposely left them out of there attack.its very hypocritical to call an entire industry racist when you back a group in that said industry that's just the same way you depicted kpop, you've basicly shot yourself in the foot here and again we ask was going there really necessary? You cant have it both ways.
all it looks right now is a bias related missfire you talk the talk but you don't walk the walk like a led ballon. a cried wolf situation.
i did not watch billboard out of silent protest because there was nobody there worth looking at.
now look in a way im kind of glad bts got the award but i do not think they were the right choice, i was thinking about all the others who could have gotten that fanfare and praise but maybe next year and also we have the big apple music awards and teen choice to look forward too.its not sour grapes its common sense.so not that im encouraging this but there was no tv coverage of bts's win even though they were on live tv.with bts's lingo just another example to how sex and vulgarity sells in hollywood and dominates the polls and attention blocking others who take a more conservative approach and are put on the back burner.it seems the talent of groups such as snsd and exo and others are being ignored groups and people who have done good and left the stereotypes behind.
now as i promised in my last article i would be unbiased and fair and so i will.now before you start calling me an anti here's the slam i do not care if your kpop or not i will not endorse or stand behind music that encourages rape and furor. i have nothing against bts infact to be honest i was getting to like them, until i found the skeleton in the closet.
bts cg grades you an F. until you change your ways this grade will not change.
finally as teen vogue foretasted on others you will lose fans more than gain them bts take that into account because that's what's gonna happen to your international fan base if you continue down this way.
civil rights is a very sensitive subject in america today and if you want to reach to out to this country more effectively stop your vulgarity straiten up and fly right set an example for your fans and most importantly man up.
in case you have forgotten bts or are unaware the left has put a target on certain races backs and if this all comes out say they do not know your past your american fame may backfire and may be short lived.making jokes alienating women and other races is not how you gain fans and supporters. not only does that behavior make you look bad it makes others look bad in kpop we had enough of that.
infact your use of the n word is what got other kpop stars in trouble with teen vogue in the first place with that ballistic fan base the beyhive falsely accused mamamoo member hwasa of being racist when she sang a beyonce song on a cover.you see teen vogue thought they had a case against kpop and when you contradict yourself that badly your just goes out the window. with bts do not give them any more fuel to the fire no more ammunition.that's just an example of what may be in store in the future. if the left has changed the backlash may be low key time will tell.so with females with korea facing an equality problem amogst women they do not need groups like you making them feel any less respected or dissvalued in society.with the loss of south korea's first female president sadly its a big self esteem downer for women and girls down there do not add to it. you wanna know what else is good reason to stop? those netizens who can flip flop there thinking at anytime, we are living in society were you never know who might offend so keep that in mind.Now look its none of my business to tell you how you should feel twords certain music but to help advise you into making an informed smart choice.
now i hope i was fair enough because somebody else as seen on social media after your win may not be so unbiased.if bts was not the way it was i would have nothing to say.to keep this argument fair after the billboard music awards typically a racist backlash followed, i strongly condem it.
bts afterall you may disagree with them but they won fair and square and for now we must repesct that.you decide not me its public opinion, now keep in mind my heart is totally behind kpop but not bts.
even though some points may sound contradictory to our last statement but all i can say is that's what being fair and unbiased is all about you listen to both sides and decide.
yes if you ask me this billboard award is somewhat of an outrage but through this lets turn travesty into triumph in hopes that kpop will live again in the usa.
those are my thoughts tell me what you think in comments.
-celebrity grades.
