Thank you for writing this! It was very thoughtful, well-written, and obviously well-researched, and it was interesting (and awful) to see just how many examples you could find in just one article. I hope, as you said, that as more people speak out, this issue will be stopped! :(

Thank you for writing this! It’s very well written, fact driven and to the point. And now if anything happens again we can just show this to those who come at us for speaking out and reducing our mental labour.

It was greatly written. 👍
Tbh I am tired of people mocking my culture. Respect is earned, if people can't respect others culture, I don't think I can respect them as an artist. Maybe these kpop ideals don't have proper knowledge about others culture, but then why use things you
