The K-pop sensation has forever been subjected to racist oratory, both as an undercurrent and vociferous slanders. Thus, the exponentially rising fame of an Asian boy association (especially one that had to fight to climb to the peak even in their home foundation) has formulated leeway for additional inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their increasing popularity has been delivered with it a startling quantity of (perhaps unreasonable) dubiousness. This dubiousness roots from Western viewers incapable to comprehend how and why music in a different language could be stealing the hearts and minds of fans all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But while they\u2019ve smashed records, conventions are another topic. Last month, during a pop-culture program on Australian television studio Nine Network, British entertainer Jimmy Carr that when he initially heard something Korean had exploded in the United States, he got anxious. Months prior, a Greek TV hostess and her fellows made fun of the group\u2019s physical features, questioning if one troop brother was a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While their devotees continued loving them for their internal, relatable lyrics and spectacular music production (the team produces and writes their songs), the public outlook put forth by naysayers is that they are hardly a mob. This is an insult to not only the K-pop fans but also the hard-working artists that have put all their time and effort into their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, BTS and their record company felt the need to delete words from their song(naega, which translates to \u201cI\u201d in Korean \u2013 a simple terminology of speech) because they were concerned that people unaware of the language would misconstrue it as the N-word and they did not want to insult anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While that forethought shows excessive sensitivity on behalf of the group, it\u2019s a larger commentary on the audiences who are unwilling to think past their linguistics and the work that suffers as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truth prevails that K-pop is here to linger. Having broken album deals and records in South Korea, they are foretold to premi\u00e8re at #1 rank on the Billboard 200 (a laudable feat that will propel Asian portrayal in music) and have now sold out four concerts in the Los Angeles\u2019 Staples Center. It is only a concern of time before media and stars realize that these accomplishments are not solely based on oblivious propping by \u201cboy-crazy\u201d supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
