Long time no see! Last words

Update as of 1/25/2016

Hello! First things first, I am now going inactive.

I'd like to say thanks for everyone who has been following this blog for as long as it has been running!

I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to respond to all my silly shouting and thoughts, my frustrations, etc.

I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to talk to me about anything.

I'm not going to be on tumblr anymore, although I will leave this blog activated for now.

Several reasons are behind this, namely school, work, and a family situation that's been pretty hard-hitting.

I loved the discussions I've had, coming to terms with my identity, helping others, and being helped, definitely won't forget.

With that all said, I'm going to head off now (:

Energy to everyone!

My final say on the matter is that appropriation of black hip-hop and rap culture in kpop is harmful as well as the antiblack attitudes by kpop idols,

But to use the above as a basis for non-Korean people to claim kpop, a piece of Korean media culture?

You are separating a media form from its culture, and that in itself is a hugely anri-asian sentiment.

Am I excusing the antiblack and appropriative aspects of kpop? Not at all, but in no way should my culture diminished in a way it can be “claimed” because of those aspects.

Translation: yes Kpop artists steal from African American culture, but how dare them African americans call us on. The horror.

[cho-yu-blog]

Black people have every right to call out antiblackness in kpop as yes as to appropriation its your culture, but to start talking over Koreans on who should be in kpop when inevitably that leads to our harm as well, not to mention dictating who should be in kpop is very different from calling out the harmful aspects of it. Something is off there.

[cho-yu-blog]

I'm in the middle of working and on mobile so I can't find the post or blogger but I was thinking and it did occur to me that I did want to apologize because I didn't realize that "why is there a black person... " is a common, inflammatory anti-black statement, so I'm really sorry for being so dismissive of that!

When Kpop artists are wearing blackface and afros they’re mimicking black AMERICANS, so that automatically affects them. Just because it’s happening in a different country doesn’t mean those images don’t have an impact on black people in America AS WELL AS black people in Korea, not that you care either way. Also the original post did not say non-Koreans, it said “black girl”. That was just something you guys added in later to justify it and now you're playing victim because you got called out.

The post clearly emphasized on her being not Korean, as the entire rest of the post was about non-Korean attitudes using non-Koreans in kpop as their justification for fetishization. 

The images certainly do have an impact on black people in America, as another anon had described it’s damaging, but I mean it’s blatantly obvious that in the country where anti-blackness is pervasive, those in that country will feel firsthand the political, economic, and societal effects of that antiblackness.

[cho-yu-blog]

So Black Americans aren't recipient of their own dehumanization? L M A O WHAT ?!?! So I guess them seeing themselves being mocked and made fun of own variety shows is just a silly inconvenience. Most Black Koreans if not all that you are bringing up are of Black American descent themselves. Please.

I said Black Americans aren’t recipients of DIRECT harm, do you just skip over what I write?

You are recipients are dehumanization, but you do not  experience the worsening treatment and dehumanization black people face in Korea due to the perpetuation of antiblackness in Korea.

[cho-yu-blog]

You have a lot of nerve talking about "foreign invaders" in a genre of music that was influenced BY foreigners. Kpop is appropriated black culture, often offensively appropriated, you don't get to complain about black people participating in it when it was their's from the start. So many people want the fun pieces of black culture but not the black people who created it. How disgustingly racist and entitled. Clearly you people aren't as immune to white supremacist ideals as you think.

If I hear one more time that because kpop appropriates black culture, all of a sudden a form of Korean media is for black people to claim,

I’m going to absolutely lose it. 

The appropriation of black culture in kpop is harmful and terrifically racist, but it’s no more to claim much like Katy Perry isn’t all of a sudden a Japanese person for appropriating Japanese culture.

This is a country that does not have the same history of black people like America does.

Korea certainly exploits and profits off of black people, but it affects black people in. Korea. While it’s harmful for black people overseas to see their culture being appropriated in Korea, you are not the direct recipients of that harm.

Black people in Korea, either immigrants or black-Koreans, are. 

Alexandra is not Korean, period. 

And your entitlement to claiming a piece of Korean culture on the basis that it’s a racist imitation of black culture? Weak, not to mention it stems from your anti-Asian sentiments that Asian cultures are not much more than their marketable media and aesthetics (as pushed by the western hemisphere), and thus easily picked apart like what you are doing. 

in other words, you are separating KPOP from Korean culture on the basis that kpop is appropriative, and that separation is highly anti-Asian since it treats Asian cultures like what i have described above. 

[phoenix-ace]

Antiblackness is relevant because your asses made it relevant the moment you decided to talk over black people and imply we were invading a space that literally exploits us. Believe it or not, if you say incorrect things about another group then they are allowed to tell you your wrong and their responses aren’t less valid because they arent as convienient, especially when you barely skimmed over them.

[cho-yu-blog]

Honestly, the basis that danggeun was being antiblack by calling Alexandra black is pretty weak. 

“why is there a black person in Rania” in context with the rest of the post clearly indicates that that racial description “black” could have been interchanged with white as well, since the point of the post was non-Korean people’s attitudes towards Korean culture as a trendy thing for them to be a part of because it’s attractive for them, disregarding that it’s a media form that doesn’t serve them.

And once again, I also find that the argument that racist appropriation of black culture is a space for entry by non-Korean black people is taking an entirely western perspective on Korean culture, not to mention if anything it exacerbates anti-blackness in kpop. A black-American was invited to an appropriative space, essentially authenticating the appropriation and thus she’s terribly exploited. 

When you bring a black-American into KPOP she isn’t claiming the black culture in KPOP, she was brought into Rania to be a participant  in it. 

And in the mean-time, her existence in korean pop delegitimizes the identities of black-Koreans even further. 

To elaborate: Why did Rania’s managers go out of their way to find a black-American foreigner instead of finding a black-Korean? Clearly, it wasn’t just the factor of her black race.

This is why discussions on Korea get messy if you aren’t aware of the dynamics of western influence in Korea. Essentially, “Americanness” is a concept that’s a symbol of modernity, of coolness and trendyness in Korea. Alexandra, being black-American, represents that. It’s not her just being black, since race isn’t perceived the same way in Korea as it is in America, it’s also her being American.

to National Koreans, she’s an “authentic black-American person” in KPOP, wow!”

Black-Koreans on the other hand struggle with their identity because they’re not seen as Korean, and like Michelle Lee if they haven’t been to America or don’t really connect with their black identity which they are expected to, they end up being ostracized. 

The treatment of Michelle Lee and Alexandra will never overlap. If anything, Alexandra has detracted from the struggles black-Koreans face by being what Koreans expect black-Koreans to be, regardless if they actually identify with being American or not. 

Thus, this is definitely an issue of non-Korean people invading a Korean space, a space that has rejected black-Korean people.

Also, we can’t ignore the issue of appearance on top of American vs. Black-Korean identities:

As evident by the Korean netizens’ comments, Alexandra is held as the ideal exotic western beauty, some even going to say that she looks “latina”.

Michelle Lee on the other hand was bullied at school for having dark skin, for having “black” features. 

So this is also a matter of Michelle Lee not looking attractive to Korean people, vs. Alexandra being an attractive black person,

although the factor that Alexandra has been a foreigner from the getgo and is treated as such by Korean people vs. Michelle Lee having her Korean identity invalidated is bigger. 

[guacamoolie]

I wish you would stop tryna tell us what is and isn’t anti blackness since you know you ain’t black.

[cho-yu-blog]

I’m a non-black Korean, so I wish you would stop trying to diminish the impact that non-Koreans in KPOP have on Koreans, black-Koreans included, by making this about Alexandra’s black identity when the issue was on her being non-Korean. 

these two issues, antiblackness and non-Korean fetishization of Korea can be addressed on a separate, but equally important platform as anti-blackness, and I have been very frustrated with the former issue being diminished due to the anti-blackness perpetuated in KPOP and in other forms of Korean media.

If danggeun had put “why is there a non-Korean black person in Rania”, would that have made it less anti-black?

I’m starting to think no, since from your previous posts it’s not just that issue, it’s that she had an issue with a non-Korean black person in KPOP to begin with, and you correlated that with the anti-blackness in Korea, which why are you so quick to conflate a Korean person’s questioning a black person in KPOP with anti-black sentiments in kpop?

Is it because korean pop is anti-black, that a Korean person questioning “why is there a black person in KPOP” is a definite indicator of anti-blackness?

If anything, you’ve then played into the western hemisphere’s reduction of Asian countries, like Korea, into two-dimensional stereotypes, where its people are a monolith and absolute reflections of their media and whatever backwards values America likes to push. 

I mean yeah I get it’s hard to realize your anti-Asian racism because it’s had a history of being so subtly pervasive, but come on, at least try.

[cho-yu-blog]

thank you anon, I appreciate it (:

OK but if we push for a media that isn't anti-black y'all won't have a media because your media is based on appropriating black culture and being anti-black.

When you say media, do you mean KPOP, or do you actually mean all of Korean media??

[softdemonprincx]

Where is this anon even getting this from?! They have plenty of korean music that has nothing to do with hip-hop, including kpop. As they have in the past??? Basically until recent years? And if they mean all forms of media… ??????????????????????????? Kpop does not encompass everything in S.Korea???

[godslayerbabe-deactivated201906]

^^^ Honestly. I’m also tired of fucking non-Korean people and non-Asian people acting like they literally know every little thing about the Kpop industries and issues in South Korea or the media there.. like.. lmfao.. Bruh, please.

[oppasempai-deactivated20160110]

when will non-koreans shut the fuck up about korean issues hmm :^)))))

[cho-yu-blog]

But please keep in mind the issue can’t be easily reduced to just a “korean issue” because it does involve the appropriation of black culture.

It gets tricky when it comes to a non-Korean black person being in KPOP because like we can’t deny that so much of modern KPOP are cheap imitations of black hip-hop r&b culture, so is that non-Korean black person entitled to a spot in KPOP?

imo the answer is no, because if anything it’s counterproductive to place a black person in the black culture appropriative mess that is KPOP because they wind up legitimizing the cultural appropriation (essentially she’s the token black idol, which could really impact her negatively)

But going back to MAIN MAIN issue that seems to have gotten lost under the swarm, I still am boggled that a post on “the harmful attitudes and entitlement non-Korean fetishizing fans have of Korean culture and how it should serve them” became open season for “but why aren’t you talking about antiblackness in KPOP” and people are still pretending like those were valid points and responses to the OP. 

But the discussion has already veered into antiblackness in KPOP, so 어쩔수없어… 

[softdemonprincx]

All the derailment made my head hurt and just continuing to stick your fingers in your ears and not hear someone out is…. then all the anti-asian sentiments in there to boot.. Like people ARE talking about anti-blackness in Korea. Why are the people sticking their fingers in their ears not supporting Lee Michele and other Black-Koreans? Why are you speaking over and ignoring them? Instead put these Black people on a platform where they could help Koreans to understand them and help to erase what imperialism and western racism has shown them. Don’t impose yourself in a culture that’s not yours just cause music. (Not speaking about Alex, but the discussion in general) It’s not teaching anyone anything. People on this website in general have an awful habit of wanting to impose themselves where they shouldn’t and claiming things they should not. Like speaking over Native Americans, as if we don’t exist :’) People also act like Korea Should Know Better when Korea only recently opened up to foreigners/the world. Like oh there’s the Internet they should know. No the resources on the Internet are in English and if I hear some imperialist bs saying all Koreans should know English I will scream. Korea is learning from what the world is showing them so the world needs to show better and people need to help Korea learn and help them to acquire proper resources in their native language. People on here have too nasty an attitude.. I’m not even going to say anymore because I am so tired of the people on this website and I try not to be ugly and say mean stuff because everyone is really making me so tired lol

I went on a tangent AND a rant. My bad.

[guacamoolie]

So it’s black people job to gently explain to them why it’s not ok to call us monkeys and get on TV and paint themselves black and eat watermelon with Afro wigs on ? 😂

[didi-is-spiffy-deactivated20190]

Didn’t you know, this is all black peoples fault and black people gotta fix it, non-black people can’t be blamed for their anti-blackness!! Pffffffft niggers gotta know their place

[guacamoolie]

What I got from this is us silly little American niggas need to shut up because us holding them accountable for dehumanizing Black Americans is imperialistic. We all good?

[didi-is-spiffy-deactivated20190]

The funny this is that they think they’re really saying something new or revolutionary, like nah you writing novels to justify your anti-blackness just like everyone, it isn’t new but yet here non-black people keep trying because obviously we niggers aren’t smart enough to understand their coded language

[guacamoolie]

They being really gross but I will bring out the receipts on how the way anti blackness manifest is their country correlates with how they treat Black Americans when they immigrate here. Like let’s not play the game.

[cho-yu-blog]

Your attitudes towards Korean people are disgusting, and the fact that you think a viable excuse for your words is because there is antiblackness in my country of heritage is truly indicative of your anti-Asian sentiment, which you feel like you can write off because of antiblackness in another culture.

You conflate KPOP with Korean people, you conflate Korean people with diasporic Koreans, you have absolutely no intention to realize that you can’t force your damaging western perspectives on an entirely different culture. 

As a black person you have every right to feel wronged and call out antiblackness in another country, but for you to assume as if you can understand the way it has manifested and affects the culture beyond that it is indeed antiblackness is hugely western-centric. 

I mean if you interpreted angel-reverie’s post that Korea is entirely helpless and it is black people’s responsibility to teach them, then you interpreted it incorrectly, although the post does seem to make it appear that Korea should be excused in its anti-blackness.

that is incorrect. Korea should not be excused for its antiblackness and it should be held accountable, however the fact that racial dynamics in America does not play out the same in Korea is true. It’s very different, and unlike the active and blatant oppression by white supremacy in America, that doesn’t exist in Korea. 

Race as a concept there is very different from race in America, and thus resources on it are more abstract than reality for Koreans. 

For many, if the question or awareness of injustice is completely absent, there’s no impetus to research or learn, just as how some white people can remain ignorant of their white privilege their whole life. 

Does it excuse their antiblackness and unwillingness to learn? Not at all.

[cho-yu-blog]

why our music is important, and I’m also sure a lot of folks can chime in, but at the moment these are the two that I could quickly think of. Anyways, as it’s more than just Kpop being influenced a little, ‘black music is being appropriated’ should be a central issue to be equated into the this whole situation too, and those who talk about it shouldn’t be seen as one not ‘staying in your lane’ (which btw is AAVE), and downplayed.

I think you saying ‘black music is being appropriated should be a central issue to be equated into this whole situation’ is you not realizing that Korean people have been struggling to find a voice that non-Koreans do not belong in KPOP. 

That is our issue. Except obviously we face a lot of backlash by non-Korean KPOP fans for saying that due to their entitled attitudes of how KPOP should serve them, examples as I have named before, laughing at idols’ english, expecting english subtitles, criticizing the lack of non-Korean diversity in Korean shows, etc. 

And those attitudes above are exactly what is harming us: this reduction of Korea and Korean culture to a western-centric playground where people disregard that we are talking about a culture independent from Western perspectives, that you can’t force western frameworks onto a different culture.

My culture has become a thing for non-Korean people to want to claim and it’s honestly very frustrating that Korean people can’t speak of our fetishization and disrespect to our culture without antiblackness being brought up as a counter-point, that disrespect to our culture is minimal in the face of our pop media (and consequently our ‘culture’) having antiblack elements, 

Which that counterpoint, that the fetishization of Korean people and Korean culture is invalid because of perpetuation of antiblackness in KPOP is indicative of how Korean culture has been reduced so that kpop became the dominant aspect of Korean culture such that Korean people’s experiences are invalid. 

[cho-yu-blog]

that many have which is not right. Maybe I would be more understanding if Black 'influence' wasn't that much (still side eye worthy though), but the whole existence of what kpop has become is built from my culture. An extremely important aspect of it, as music in the black community, in my experience, is a way that we could openly express our emotions when we couldn’t (dating back to slavery), and a way to unite the community. I am sure there are many other reasons as to why our music is

I feel like you are confusing appropriation of black culture with black culture being the foundation of kpop. 

Kpop is a form of pop media created by Korean people. It was built off Korean people. HOWEVER, did the directors and CEO’s and music composers and MV directors find it profitable to exploit and appropriate and do cheap, racist imitations of black hip-hop culture? Definitely, and it’s a terrible thing. However can it be called “black culture”? No, just like how geisha makeup done by white people is in no way representative of genuine Japanese culture. 

[cho-yu-blog]

By you saying this “And as for me being anti-black….I’m trivializing anti-blackness in KPOP” plus ““the harmful attitudes and entitlement non-Korean fetishizing fans have of Korean culture and how it should serve them” I’m not sure you really understand why a lot of people are upset. You view Kpop as Korean culture with black influences, yes? I view it as black culture with Korean influences because that’s how much of this aspect of black culture is being copied by Kpop. (1/?)

Honestly, as a Korean person, let me say to you here that yes, it is HARMFUL for black people to feel like non-Korean black artists are entitled spots in Korean pop. 

Like am I saying that all black people can’t be in KPOP? No, as I’ve said before, the opportunities should go to korean-black people, who’ve been unfairly discriminated in Korea because of their non pure ethnicity. 

I’m going to stop you as “i view it as black culture with Korean influences” because this is exactly what I mean by American perspectives being forced onto Korea, and Korea having been reduced to KPOP by international fans.

As I’ve said before, no one had any preconceived notions about Korea prior to the sudden accessibility of KPOP, so it’s no wonder that particularly being an Asian country, KPOP became the dominant fixture of Korean culture for people, not to mention because of its accessibility globally to people who have had no experience or knowledge of what a homogeneous country is like, they demand “representation” in a media that was never meant for them, do you follow?

By entitled attitudes, I’m referring to people who laugh when idols can’t speak English, 

who expect english subtitles, and get upset when there aren’t any,

who get upset when they only see Korean people in the music videos.

Those are all examples of entitlement and expecting KPOP to serve them. 

and YES I totally acknowledge that black culture is heavily appropriated in KPOP, but to say that KPOP is essentially black culture with a K in front is so incredibly western-centric, 

KPOP is a form of Korean media, a form of Korean culture. Is it a flawless media form? Of course not, it gets racist, it’s heavily appropriative etc,

HOWEVER, for you to claim a piece of Korean culture because of its appropriative elements? Something’s off there.

Is it perhaps a space that black-Koreans should claim? Maybe, but is a racist appropriative space one that black-Koreans should claim? If it’s to counter the anti-blackness, maybe, but that kind of burden on black-Koreans, particularly if they don’t identify with their black side as much as their Korean side, it’s wrong of us to push that on them. 

In addition, it’s like saying Japanese people should claim Katy Perry as a figure of Japanese culture because she appropriates kimonos so many times. First off, Katy Perry isn’t even Japanese, she’s white, much like while KPOP is harmfully appropriative, its not black culture, It’s a racist, cheap imitation by Korean people that should be stopped, not claimed,

which is why I don’t think that appropriation of black culture is an appropriate springboard for Alexandra’s career: it’s her being exploited more than anything else. However is Alexandra being non-Korean a problem? I’ve stated this before in another post about how Koreans view Alexandra as clearly a foreigner, a black-American, whereas people like Michelle Lee and Yoon Mirae are denied of their Korean identity, so Alexandra is definitely not any kind of gateway for less antiblackness against black-Koreans, if anything she detracts from the struggles of black-Koreans by being a symbol of “authentic” black culture. 

[cho-yu-blog]

I’m seeing 5 messages in my inbox and I feel like dying I can’t do this anymore, answering the same exact things over and over again...

[phoenix-ace]

Truth be told, I don’t even disagree with people critiquing foreigners in Kpop. 

I just don’t like how people pull this crap every time a black person is involved.  And I hate the fact that instead of being respectful and acknowledging they were wrong in this ONE respect they tried to effectively “whitesplain” away the appropriation in kpop and tried to delegitimize anti-blackness because it wasn’t convenient to the “imperialism” narrative they were trying to apply to this woman. 

[cho-yu-blog]

I don't follow.

I've repeatedly, to the point where i've basically memorized it, said that I never excuse the anti-blackness in KPOP.

I find it really odd that just because i'm speaking up now, people are taking it as "it's because she's black' if she were white she wouldn't say anything" when that isn't true whatsoever.

Alexandra being specifically black is not as relevant as the fact that she is non-Korean.

And i've given a ridiculous amount of answers to anons acknowledging the appropriation of black culture in kpop, and you are hugely misinterpreting the imperialism narrative???

The Imperialism narrative I put in there is basically that alexandra was put in a korean girl group because on a bigger scale, Korea feels like they have to include westernized aspects in their society in order to be truly "modern", so that means ITS NOT ALEXANDRAS FAULT SHE WAS PUT IN RANIA.

Imperialism was never an excuse for antiblackness other than being a vehicle for it, so I have no idea wtf you think the imperialism narrative is?

This is honestly why this discourse is getting messy, because while yes appropriation of black culture is involved in kpop, why that should entitle alexandra, a non-korean black person, a spot in Kpop is beyond me, especially since all of us are not against black-Korean artists.
