Koreans are baffled by international fans' comments on Lee Hyori's 'Ten Minutes' video on YouTube

 

Nowadays, all K-pop idols are white.


She's so beautiful! Natural and tanned skin.

Everyone was tanned back then. She is so charming.

Some people got tanned, but members like Sung Yuri and Lee Jin from the same group had fair skin.


So they were brown, and as years passed, they got whiter and whiter...

In Korea, from the 90s to the 2000s, having tanned skin was a trend. But from 2005 onwards, many articles and documentaries about the dangers of UV rays and skin cancer were published...


It was an era when K-pop wasn’t obsessed with whitewashing idols.


Natural beauty!


Those were the days when skin whitening wasn't a big deal.


They weren't so desperate to be white back then.


I love her tanned skin. It's refreshing to see stars who aren't pale like ghosts tbh.


Are these foreigners crazy? They're obsessed with skin color. Just like Black people have a variety of skin tones, Koreans also have both fair and dark-skinned people, you crazy people.

White people are descendants of Europeans, Black people are descendants of Africans. You are Asianㅋㅋㅋ You are neither White nor Black.

You criticize skin whitening but not tanning?

theqoo

-Are these fools seriously comparing South Asia and Northeast Asia?

-Didn’t Lee Hyori get tanning during her 10 Minutes era?

-As people who have orange skin because they're obsessed with tanning, they talk way too much..

-Back then, it was trendy for female singers to tan for sexy concepts. Also, not all White people are pale, and Korea isn’t the only Asian country with fair-skinned people, so why are they making a fuss?

-There seems to be a group of foreigners who are jealous of Koreans for having fair skin.

-They created racial stereotypes themselves. Sigh. Also, why are White people called White?~~ They’re actually pink.

-Lee Hyori tanned, you dumbasses.

-They've probably never even been to Korea.

-Even if you look at SISTAR, the members have various skin tones. What are they talking about?

-Natural beauty? What nonsense. How is tanning natural?

-It's hilariousㅋㅋㅋ My family is naturally fairer than you guys. We don’t even do anything, and we’re pale, you red-skinned people.

-If you start bashing White and Black people here, it’d be unfair. Most of the ones saying this nonsense are Southeast Asians who love K-pop.....

-They always say Korean fans are obsessed with white skin, but in reality, Korean fans like fair-skinned idols for being fair and darker-skinned idols for being darker. It’s them who are obsessed.

-Do they have an obsession with East Asians not being allowed to have fair skin? Isn't that a prejudice?

-Isn’t fair skin considered elegant in Southeast Asia? Why are they taking it out on foreign artists?

Would you rather have the ability to kill people or to save people?

 

If you use the ability, no one will ever know it was you.

It just happens naturally, either their hearts stop working or start beating again.

Which power would you choose?

theqoo

-I'd choose to save lives. If I save good people, the world will become a better place.

-1. There are too many rotten people in this world.

-1. I wish there was a Death Note. There are too many bad people in the world.

-I'd want to save the people that someone else I want dead want to save, so they’d be forever grateful to me. Also, there’s someone I really want to save…ㅠㅠ

-Isn't it better to save people?? Killing is already possible anyway… It's just that we just choose not to do it.

-I prefer 2, but honestly, our country needs 1^^...

-There are so many people I want to kill, but I'll choose 2.

-11111. I’m confident I could clean things up properly.

-Killing the people who deserve to die would save many others, so it's a win-win.

-You don’t really need a special power to kill, people die anyway. But saving lives is something no one can do, so I’d choose 2.

-Since no one would know it’s me, I'm a bit tempted by 1 too. could eliminate people who make others miserable and extend the lifespan of many.

-Definitely 2. I want to save as many good people as possible.

-2. I want to save all the children who are dying too soon. I just wish everyone could liveㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-If I had the ability to kill, I’d have used it on myself first.

Park Jinyoung gives an advice on how to have a long-lasting career to JYP's rookies

 


Minje: We're just starting out, so I'm curious about how to have a long career like yours, PD-nim.

Park Jinyoung: The most important thing is that you have to want to last long. You have to genuinely have the mindset, 'I want to do this for a long time.' If you think, ‘I’m going to do this for 30 years,’ then you're going to have to study music. Also, you mustn’t do anything that would disappoint people if they found out. No matter how talented you are, if you’re secretly doing things that would make people disappointed and you get caught, then what happens next? And you have to get along well with your members. If I had to sum it up in three words: Honesty, Diligence, Humility.

Amaru: Ah, it's like the company's motto.

Summary:

1. Having the desire to do it for a long time,

2. Not doing anything that would disappoint others,

3. Getting along well with members.

theqoo

-1 and 2 are totally factsㅋㅋ Judging by how the member in my fav group who never intended to be an idol in the first place ended up leaving the group because they did something disappointing.

-So instead of being sneaky, you should be doing that 'disappointing thing' openly...?

-He’s not wrong, but does he really have the right to say this…?

-Well, he’s actually had a long career himself, so he can say this.

-He’s speaking facts, but the problem is that some people last long even without following these rulesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's not wrong but... No comment...

-He should practice what he preaches first.

-It’s true, but coming from him, it kinda… feels off.

-JYP seems to focus more on issues that arise after debut rather than before...

-Well... You should say good things to people who are just starting out.

-The desire to do it for a long time... That's right!

-Are they the new boygroup? Those two guys look handsome.

-The way they're listening so seriously is so adorable...

-No one’s perfect. If you attack someone even when they’re saying the right thing, that’s just a mental illness.

Han Gain: How can (Jang Wonyoung) be this pretty?

 

Han Gain: She's so beautiful. How can someone be so pretty? She seriously looks like a doll. She was born to be a celebrity. Her visuals and everything are just so stunning that I can’t help but be mesmerized.

theqoo

-Does this Unnie not have a mirror at home?ㅜㅜ

-It feels unreal that Han Gain said that...

-Unnie, please go look in a mirror.

-Wonyoung is really pretty, but Unnie, you’re also beautiful...

-She must know that she's pretty too...

-Please let the two of them meet!

-That's true, but Unnie, the same goes for you...

-Are you talking about yourself right now?

-That's exactly what I do every time I watch TVㅋㅋ But Han Gain is also insanely gorgeous.

-That’s exactly what I think when I look at you, Unnie...

-I wonder what she says when she looks in the mirror.

-Unnie, you were even prettier at that age...

-Unnie, you’re just saying to Wonyoung what people always say to you...

-I think she'd be mesmerized by herself in the mirror too. It must be hard to go about her daily life.

-No, seriouslyㅋㅋ How can someone who is so beautiful say "How can someone be this pretty?" to another personㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

'50 Billion KRW space bed scene' Gong Hyojin and Lee Minho found naked ... Dramatic return to earth

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/109/0005235261

In Episode 9 of tvN’s weekend drama 'When the Stars Gossip' (written by Seo Sookhyang, directed by Park Shinhow, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by KeyEast and MYM Ent), Gong Ryong (Lee Minho) and Eve Kim (Gong Hyojin), who had been stranded at a space station, successfully returned to Earth thanks to the efforts of the ground control team, bringing joy to viewers.

While Gong Ryong and Eve were trapped in the damaged space station, trying to survive by sharing body heat, the ground control team on Earth worked together to bring them safely. Astronaut Park Dongah insisted on piloting the Maru spacecraft to rescue them, even though the spacecraft hadn't completed its tests yet. Meanwhile, Dr. Donna Lee (Lee Chohee), Han Siwon (Lee Hyunkyun), and Ma Eunsoo (Park Yeyoung) tried to find the fastest route to the space station. Kang Kangsoo purchased a robotic arm to assist with docking at the damaged space station, while Chief Kang Taehee (Lee El) obtained permission from neighboring countries and prepared for departure.

MZ Group heiress Choi Goeun (Han Jieun), space scientist Mina Lee (Lee Chohee), and Lee Seungjun (Heo Namjun), who had already arrived on Earth, monitored the entire process from the ground control center, adding to the anticipation of the rescue mission’s outcome.

theqoo

-I’m not even a little bit curious about the story. I'm just curious if the ratings hit 0%ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wait...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this actually supposed to be serious and not a sitcom???

-Is this real...? Why is it so funny...?

-What the hell is that?

-Seriously… This is so embarrassing… The plot…

-They weren't naked for a 19+ scene... It was because that was the only way to avoid freezing to death. However, while having a conversation in that scene, it somehow turned into a 19+ scene...

-If the genre was satire with heavy sarcasm instead of romance, I’d accept it…

-What the f*ck?ㅋㅋ They were having sex right before they died...? Oh f*ck...

-What kind of drama is this?

-Why did the actors even agree to do this drama?

-Based on the trending posts here in Theqoo, I can’t even imagine what this drama’s story is supposed to be.

-Did they actually have sex in the story…? Or were they just hugging…?

-Why is this drama so funny?

-Ew... My eyes... Even just looking at screenshots, this drama seems terrible. The director is also a problem.

-What kind of drama did the writer even create? Every time something about it pops up, it’s shocking…

-I couldn't sleep until late at night after watching that sceneㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Why am I the one who's blushing??

-For me, if a kiss scene is too intense, it actually becomes off-putting, but this one was filmed so beautifullyㅜㅜ

-Oh Gosh... Even the sound of their breath is insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Please keep doing melodramas, Lee Joonhyuk. For me.
