Let me tell you what’s going on in South Korea right now and why K-netz are critcizing idols partying and uploading selcas on Halloween/active on SNS, they have legitimate reasons because
i just saw i-nets bashing k-netz left and right when they don’t know the gravity of the situation, so first of all, please read this article, and about this mass protest in Seoul against South Korean President Park Geun-hye just yesterday, calling the president to step down over allegations that allowed a close personal friend to meddle in state affairs. also, this wonderful explanation
the girl’s mother, choi soon-sil, who is currently in germany (she said she couldnt return to seoul yet for official interrogation due to nervous breakdown and heart issues, like lady, please), is said to have influenced president park in private on everything from her wardrobe to her strategy on tackling the north korean regime. and THAT IS SCARY because her dad, choi tae min, was well known in south korea as the head of a cult-like religious group until his death in 1994. he even went as far as to allegedly had helped the-before-president park contact her late mother in the afterlife and has been known to enjoy considerable influence over ms park as a young politician, prompting diplomats to refer to him in private as “korea’s rasputin.”
now rasputin is a russian peasant, mystical faith healer, and trusted friend of the family of nicholas II, the last tsar of russia.
Rasputin (as put out by MiMo, i couldnt have said it better bby i hope youre okay with me putting your comment out here <3) is a hobo who claimed to be a spirit doctor. He gained influence when he was hired to “heal” Tsar Nicholas II’s wife, eventually coming to rule the country. His fine work as a de facto ruler was the last straw in an already declining Tsarist Russia, triggering the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution that gave rise to the Soviet Union. That’s why people are calling out those who are partying right now. 99 years ago, a controversy like this caused a country to self-destruct.
now can you imagine why koreans are freaking out???
i also wanna add here that during a comeback, artists are usually allowed to perform more than one song in their first week of comeback and proceed with just one song for the following weeks of promotion, but just yesterday (on the same day of teh mass protest), we have bangtan performing ‘am i wrong’ on mbc’s music core in the third week promotion, like seriously, how?? what a perfect? timing?? imean, you can read all about what theyre saying here but
edit: apparently some of you guys didnt get the choreo bit, thats okay ^^ lemme just reiterate what ive already written here, the first gif of suga, v, and jimin, is referencing to ppl just scrolling through the news/comments and not give a damn about whats happening in the country (or around the world), the bystanders are thought to be teh crazier ones hvg able to just live like that in this crazy world. the second gif is the members ‘enacting’ like dogs and pigs, an indirect jab towards their government official who not long ago, during an interview, had made disparaging remarks towards the south koreans, saying that 99% of his country’s people are “like dogs and pigs.”
