#i don't know if i can be into kpop if f(x) isnt there...

I feel like people don't care if kpop groups have korean members... they just care if there are asian memebers.... it's so sad because suddenly asian people (thai, chinese, japanese) ppl are allowed to participate in Korean pop but not American people or white people in general... Yeah I agree, EXP arent that great but if they were talented white guys doing kpop, they'd still get the same stigma. Korean people are more than welcomed to do hiphop and pop in America. What is this double standard..

I don't know about you but for me if it's Kpop then it has to have Korean members. If it would be full of Japanese members it would probably be a Jpop group. I think it's perfectly fine that other South East Asian people participate in Kpop groups, which also helps them to become more successful in non-Korean countries. Now Idk what you mean with 'American People' because Johnny from NCT or Krystal from f(x) are Americans. Otherwise you'd be talking about Native Americans. Now there is no such thing like 'white people can't participate in Kpop'. There isn't such a rule, and that's not something in the power of us fans, but of the companies. By the way, there is an Africa American girl in the girl group RaNia.Now, you're complaining about double standards but honey, there isn't such a thing in this case. I don't know any Korean nor Asian musician who is famous in America. Yes, Koreans make hiphop, everyone from every race can make hiphop. The thing is that Koreans get teared down for it because of different reasons. (I'll talk about this another time because there is a lot to explain)LET ME TALK ABOUT THE DOUBLE STANDARDS THAT DOESNT EXIST. Double standard is that when a man takes off his shirt, it's considered as hot and manly, but when a woman does, she's a slut and gets shamed for showing her body. A GROUP OF FOUR WHITE MEN NOT GETTING ACCEPTED INTO THE KPOP INDUSTRY, WHILE ASIAN PEOPLE DONT GET ACCEPTED IN THE AMERICAN AND WITH THAT THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC AND FILM INDUSTRY ISNT!I can't name one leading Asian actor, nor an Asian musician in America. Asians have it so damn hard in America and it upsets me that you just ignored that. I can not, will not shut up about this issue. Let me explain and give you some examples. Movies about Asia with Asian characters get played by white actors. For example, Ghost In The Shell. Just to let you know, I watched the movie and it was amazing, but that doesn't mean that it stops me from addressing the issues. The movie is based on an anime, anime is from Japan, which is in Asia. Now, the whole story is in Japan and has Japanese characters only. BUT GUESS WHAT. The main character, Major, an Asian woman, gets played by....you guessed it right, a white woman! (I'm not blaming Scarlett Johansson, I'm blaming the movie makers) I have an even better example! Death Note life action movie. Death Note is an anime and now there will be a life action movie. Sounds cool, right? Well, there is just one huge upsetting problem. The people who made this movie obviously searched for actors, but now comes the shocking part (which isn't even that shocking since the American film industry is racist, there I said it) during the casting they made it clear that they are NOT looking for an Asian actor...what?! These people make a life action movie of a Japanese anime which is all aboutJapan and decide that they do not want an Asian actor to play and Asian character. Don't come at me with 'double standards' when there is just racism and disrespectful people. It's time for Asian people to break down stereotypes and become a part of America music and film industry, not the time for white people stealing and taking over something that was created by and for minorities, which in this case is Kpop. It upsets me that some people get offended as soon as white people don't get what they want but overlook Asian people who get oppressed and don't get a chance to be a part of the world industry.
