Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

LANA.

(apologising for the irrelevant tags on this long post but i just wanted this to reach as many fans as possible as we together make the kpop community)

here’s something about someone i’ve been meaning to address for a while now, lana, or by her birth name Eugenia Svetlana, debuting as a kpop idol.the mention of her stirred up some issues and arguments that i’d just want to give my personal opinion on.

she really shouldn’t be under the kpop label.

lana is russian, purely white, her family is european and in no way is she an asian girl. yet she continues to edit her photos to look more ‘korean’ by changing her eyes and nose, and exactly in what way does that not make her a koreaboo?like?? ma’am you are a white woman, please.

she could always go and start a career in any white (people) dominated country because that’s a place white people are in, everywhere. the mainstream media, where you will hardly ever see asian people flourish because there is absolutely no representation for them. after so many goddamn years kpop found a well deserved spot in the west and the mainstream eye without a 90% racist feedback. fucking finally. korean pop helped get other asians a well deserved seat in the achievements by using the help of mixed cultures. yes, not all kpop idols are korean, but they are all asian or at least mixed, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian.

as for nationalities, there are idols like Hong Joshua, Kim Matthew, Johnny, felix, chris and Park Chae Young (only to name 4 from a whole lot) who are from 

the west. but what’s similar about them?

they are korean. these musically talented people wouldn’t even get a chance in their countries because of their respective culture and race, which is why kpop was a home to them where they could stand on high positions without feeling like a minority in front of the rest of the industry and get thrown comments like “oh you’re probably good at maths” or “do you like,,, really eat,, dogs? i have a dog at home at that hurts me so much!”

there are too,some mixed idols. the reason they are accepted in because they are korean as well and face those same kinds of discrimination along with that, they share the same history and culture. Hansol,  Samuel and Kai.

But when the audience learnt that Samuel was half Mexican, his popularity and votings dropped drastically. Because of the flawed idea of perfection and beauty in not just Korea but also Asia as a whole. This is the same flawed and delusional standard that Lana is taking advantage of, by mixing her white self into the asian market as an asian.

Here’s a little example of how our standards are a slap on the face kind of bullshit.

As an asian myself let me just tell you how many times a day my TV tells me that I should be light skinned, how many relatives meet me and ask me that I’m not as fair skinned as I used to be and that’s making me less appealing or how my mother tells me to put something on my face before leaving the house so I don’t look dark.

And here we have Lana, using her white features and skin and body while dressing up asian, editing her eyes and nose and debuting under an asian label as the perfect asian beauty standard. Calling herself a Korean idol despite her zero relevance to the race or culture or even nationality. Wow. feuling those same sick ideas.

THIS IS A WHITE WOMAN FROM A PURELY WHITE ANCESTORY.

In no means am I saying that she’s a horrible human being or whatever the fuck, I’m sure she’s nice and probably good at idk , knitting, you choose. But my point only is that simply doing all THIS is so odd and disturbing. Let us have our space and freedom to see ourselves gain achievements let it be only on a single platform- it’s all we have. Literally all we have. Flying over to Korea to debut without absolutely any relation to asia makes no sense and trying to look a different race is so creepy ??

We’d all even overlook half these issues if her talent was admirable, but damn son, I’m really sorry to be this rude but I sat down to watch her stage performance completely open-minded… and it was terrible. So what really is making her an idol let alone a KOREAN IDOL? It wouldn’t be such an issue if she was In a group too, but she’s solo, a white solo koreaboo.

Maybe you might see this as a reach but for someone who lives in a country that was finally freed from colonisers just 70 years ago (people of that era are still alive so take that into perspective) and was crippled economically and culturally making us hate our own skins and languages, I’m sure I know how a foreigner comes to what you’ve created, smiling like a friend and shifts the standards and makes something your community set up for themselves and their happiness into their own.

And no, I’m not into supporting the whole idea of bullying her in her comment section or making fun of her to hurt her feelings, it’s dumb and doesn’t make us any better, but what I certainly do encourage is raising the knowledge of why her debut is bad and why her Korean fetishisation is gross and how her place would be anywhere in her country or America or any other white place but absolutely not the ONLY industry made BY Asians FOR asians.

The moment you normalise Lanas arrival, more non Asians would join this asian platform, and soon kpop wouldn’t be about this race struggling and finding its place it the international eye yet just a white people dominated industry. It has happened before, too many times to count.

my friend just gave me her BP lightstick for a weeks worth of beef patties.

Blame this guy named tony for this ok😭
