I’ll keep this short, sweet and to the point. Sorry not sorry. I am prepared to respectfully fight.

Western K-pop stans need to stop demanding responses from their idol groups in regards to things that happen in America.

In this instance I’ll be mainly talking the issue in regard to BLM.

While I applaud groups and companies who have shown their support for BLM I don’t find it nessicary, and it really pisses me off when other fans think otherwise. S.Korea’s political, justice , education system and etc, are fare different then America’s. Both countries have their own set of problems that they are dealing with and don’t really have time to always keep itself updated with the other country’s happenings.

BLM isn’t a priority in S.Korea for many factors.

The percentage of blacks within the country is significantly lower.

The system is different.

Not many Koreans can relate or maybe even understand.

They have their own political problems to fix, why would they focus on ours?

This isn’t their fight.

S.Korea is a less outspoken country then America (Not saying its a bad thing, they just deal with things differently, respect that)

And so on and so forth.

I’ve actually come across Koreans who have voiced that they believe Americans are too expecting and pushy when it comes to certain matters we perceive as important. We don’t have the right to get upset when a group doesn’t do a political stunt we think we should do, American artists don’t do it for them, why should they do it for us? I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing when they do, I’m just saying that we need to stop expecting them as if it’s their job. It’s not. It can be understandable for big groups like BTS to put out statements, but any other group doesn’t really make sense. A lot of artists want to stay neutral, I’ve gotten the sense,from some of my Korean friends, that unlike the United States Korean artists aren’t as open about their political stance like a lot of Western artists are, I think that’s partly why BTS got some backlash back in the day.

Please understand that this issue with BLM isn’t S.Korea’s fight, it’s not an issue we need to drag their artists into, they have they’re own battles. On top of that Korean news outlets hardly ever cover American oriented news unless it’s something about K-pop in the Western market or Trump.
