B.I., Big Hit, and Black K-pop Fan Backlash Part 2

It’s the darkest K-pop timeline as we discuss the complete dissolution of the Greek tragedy that is YG Entertainment on this episode of Not Your Average Netizens. It’s a trash fire of such immense magnitude that we needed TWO episodes to talk about it! Is B.I. a misunderstood genius and will YG get away with all his shady activity (probably)? In part two, we continue the lighthearted discourse as we delve into issues of K-pop and colorism (that will likely be covered again). Is being a fan worth it when you have to constantly check to see if idols are “problematic” and have to rationalize the prejudiced that continues to occur? We discuss. Also on the docket: idols and LGBTQ rights, flat earther idols, K-fans vs. I-fans, the treatment of girl groups and Big Hit… just Big Hit. Pull up a chair, enjoy your car ride, or distract yourself from the monotony of work with some good K-pop conversation.
