This blog is about looking at both the positive and negative side of k-pop by linking k-pop to some common worldly issues. The aim of this
Since we’ve brought up the topic of feminine k-pop male
idols last time, it would be quite logical to explore the disturbing amount of
fangirls who would give up everything in their bank account to see members of
the same band feel each other up or pash each other on stage. Don’t get me
wrong, I’m completely fine with homosexuals and I’m even friends with a few
myself, but it’s a completely different matter here. The issue I’ve detected is
that there is an enormous amount of fans out there who only like particular
bands because they act all ... well, gay on camera. Majority, this issue occurs
in boy bands so let’s just focus on one; Super Junior. As much as I would
completely be supportive if they came out as a real couple, sometime, maybe
they are enjoying themselves a little too much and sometimes there are things
that I would prefer them to do behind closed doors.
‘I SHIP THEM !!!’ I could almost hear the fangirls scream
that in my ear. To ‘ship’ two people together is to support their love and
rejoice everytime they get intimate. Just how wrong is that ? Again, not a
homosexual or heterosexual issue here but all that PDA (Publicly Displayed
Affection) should be left at home. I wouldn’t want to see that among my straight
friends and if my friends do this in front of me, they certainly wouldn’t want
me spazzing how sweet and cute it is next to them, so why am I seeing this when
they are suppose to be singers ? Last time I checked, singers sing songs and
not film goosebumpy clips. I’m already being very thoughtful to pick the clip
that shows the making of the film and not the final product. Because trust me,
if you walked past and saw the final film, you would most likely ask me why I
am watching an R rated homosexual film so openly. Really, is this all is left
of the K-pop industry ?
If you didn’t hear the screaming in the background in the
last clip then you can certainly hear it this time. Just about every single
time two members ... err ... ‘interact’ with each other you can hear the sound
of excitement from the audience. The member’s themselves seem pretty casual
about the whole thing. Sure, if pressing your lips against a close friend can
be seen in a casual thing then yeah. But still, did all those people just pay
for a ticket to watch that ? Cause really, fangirls mostly consist of teenage
girls and this is not appropriate at all. Its not a huge deal, this is probably
when a hen’s party would look like so its not their actions that are the
problem. It’s the fact that the K-pop industry is presenting like a show for
entertainment purposes. I’m just feeling sorry for these poor fellows who have
to rub themselves against one another just because that’s the only thing that
will increase their popularity. Doesn’t the K-pop industry have people with
skills and talent ? Well use them !!!
