I"m new to Tumblr and have no idea how to reply to posts. I was at KCONLA 2015 and heard Shinhwa's music for the first time at the concert, today I watched the broadcast recorded from MCountdown and in The Way of MIL they used the N word. It was in the lyrics on the screen + they sang it. Im shocked they did that in America, and I disagree with the post from TOP (paradise) post from 2013 i saw on your page. Why are they using the N word still!!??
Dear anonI have no idea which post you're referring to. However this issue has been raised many manyy times now. The only person capable to answer this effectively is no on except Eric.My opinion on this is just that, back in 1999 when the song TOP was written, you've got to understand how the Korean society & culture was then. It was cool to speak English. And such words, although derogatory were considered part cool even in the West. So due to lack of knowledge i suppose it got used in the song.However I agree, Shinhwa & Eric should probably know better now and not use it especially in the US.But the usage of that word in the song isn't for the purpose of derogation.That's all i can say on this matter.
