Seung Ri KPOP Korean Music

Happy 2009 Allkpop readers! Just when we were celebrating the new year and the end of Big Bang album promotions, the youngest member Seungri released a MV for his solo "Strong Baby." With this MV Seungri is supposed to show a more mature and manly side to him. It even includes a bed and semi-kiss scene with the chick from their last farewell MV.

I was a little skeptical of how this youngin was gonna man up his image; he's skinny, kinda girly looking, and wore eye makeup in some of his other mvs and performances. But then after G-dragon's little guest appearance, Seungri succeeded in looking very very manly.

You’re done cause you don’t make very good points but thanks for finally being done. And by the way “worst” doesn’t make sense. I know that you don’t care about grammar but use it in the right way and you would be surprised how many people would take you a LITTLE more seriously.

—————
one more thing before i go. i can use worst anyway i damn well please. if you dont like it too bad

Um. I’m half African-American and I kind of didn’t see a problem with what he said, it wasn’t the best thing out of his mouth, but growing up in a country where very few african americans are seen, that’s all they’re pretty much raised around.  I’m sure a couple years and some aa choreographers later, he’s gotten the point that they’re not all out to get him.

I’m not going to get into this long discussion but just wanted to say this:

Racism is the expression of prejudice in words or actions. In my opinion, Seungri is a racist. However it is much more complex than that and a kpop gossip blog is not the place for it.

@wonder: Beside the NYC van situation, he appeared in blackface in “How Gee”.  Many people did not like the video ‘cause of the girls but they did recognize what he was doing in the video and it was not cool with them. I do not remember if Allkpop did a post but I do remember seeing it on PS and all the comments from the VIPers.

Also I heard there was a video of him using the N word which was what Crimsonwave was talking about. I cannot confirm/deny this but it would not surprise me. Masta Wu used the N word in his 2nd album which is why it got banned and 1tym used the N back when they started. I’m sure the YG guys are using that type of language around them once in a while. 

Some of ya know me from soompi and know my feelings about this subject.  As an African American kpop fan, I am still sore since YG and Seungri have yet to issue an apology. I would like know when did GD apologized?

I do not think people should be so quick to dismissed others opinions and tell them “get over it”. Statement like that are why we are still having issues of racism and discrimination.

ON TOPIC: I do not have anything good to say about the video so I’m keeping it shut. I am kinda confused why YG would do a video for him this late in the game when Big Bang are doing their solo albums next year.

cindel25: Thanks for explaining the rest other incidents. Others didn’t bother to let others know what they were talking about. The whole blackface thing was pure idiotic ignorance. Seriously why would they let him film that? More people are at fault then just him. I’m not making excuses it’s just common sense. And was he and the other YG members using it the “N” word in a derogatory way or slang? Either way I don’t like the word and never say it. But there is a difference. But I also know that some people hate both words. I’m not at all making excuses. I would just like to know all the facts before labeling someone a racist because to me a racist is hateful person w/a superior race mentality.

hence the reason why i find YG getting more annoying with each year, trying to be all “black” and “ghetto” like when clearly, they are NOT.

they should know their place well before going around offending others.

YG supporters should seriously start stepping down from their high horses because YG isn’t perfect like how all of you claimed it to be.

I know a lot of black people that say the “N” word in casual conversations. I agree with others who say that he said it out of ignorance. Whenever I watch the news, many of the stories are about “young, black males” who commit crimes, which may also scare some people. This isn’t to say other people don’t commit crimes, but again, a lot of people say things because of things they hear.


Racism, to me, is an intolerance of another race, which I doubt Seungri is.


Now, as for the video, I’m not a big fan of Big Bang or their music, and the song is just okay to me.

I like the song except for the “crack, crack, crack” part. His abs are semi existent, but the video overall was ok.

Seungri was just IGNORANT and wrongly STEREOTYPED black people. I don’t believe he’s a “RACIST”.
As for the “How Gee” MV, we don’t know if it was his stupid idea or someone else’s to dress the way he did - but I’m sure he did not mean to offend or make fun of black people in any way.
If he actually ever said the N-word, it’s probably because of his YG hip-hop gangsta-wannabe hyungs’ frequent slang usage in their talks—- and by no way meant the N-word in a negative connotation.
Again, it’s all ignorance and negative stereotyping.
That’s all I have to say about that. If he was truly a racist, he sure as hell wouldn’t even know, LOL!!
I just get irked that everytime there’s an article or topic about Seungri (such as this), the whole “he’s a racist” accusation has to come up. -__-

Lynia: “Racism, to me, is an intolerance of another race, which I doubt Seungri is.”


I agree. If he was truly racist he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with AA/black culture or people (his choreographer in paticular since he works so close w/him). If he’s racist then I’ve heard a lot of racist people making racist comments. Including those of the same race. I will say most are comedians. I’m just saying that labeling someone racist is a big thing and it’s not always a black/white situation or answer.

OMG! He finally looks like a man! Thank God!!!
And you know what… Something just hit me… I somewhat agree with 432521… “GD” does annoy me. I was sitting here wondering why I was starting to dislike Big Bang… But if he was no longer in Big Bang wouldn’t seem right =\


I guess boybands always have to have that one annoying guy.

Also, in places like the U.S. and Canada we’re pretty much exposed to all kinds of people from day one, so we’re probably much more tolerant than people in countries where it is mainly their race. This would point to ignorance on his part again.

CandyGirl89's avatar

lets look at stereotyping this way. alot of people who stereotype says that all black people love fried chicken and watermelon. now according to the defination of prejudice stereotyping fits.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prejudice

now seungri used that stereotype of him getting shot up without really doing research to know if it was true. so he was prejudice. now being prejudice fits in wth being racist. look at the defination for racist.
racist

adjective
1.  based on racial intolerance; “racist remarks” 
2.  discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/racist


here is stereotype
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stereotype

stereotype


A generalization, usually exaggerated or oversimplified and often offensive, that is used to describe or distinguish a group.

so according to all that i say seungri is a racist. case close

So basically what your saying is that “prejudice” & “stereotype” always means racist? No if, and, or but about it? It must be nice in your world where things are only black and white.

Geebus I should’ve known when I saw the <u>Last >></u> link for the comments that CandyGirl89 was up and at ‘em again.

 
CandyGirl89's avatar

with what i said. i rest my case. keep thinking someone is not racist. from what he have done and how he dont apologize for nothing. he is a racist case close. dont deney it. if you keep lying to yourself it will become a habit

 
wonder's avatar

I’m not even a Seungri fan by any means. I just keep commenting because like I said before labeling someone “racist” is not something to just throw around. Especially just to piss people off. I’ve met racist people and have experienced racism first hand.

Candygirl89 thanks for all the copy and paste. You sound real smart now. Seriously though good job w/the lack of insults. I took you a little more seriously.

Gdragon… please stop dressing like a transvestite. I think you are really goodlooking when you dress like a male.

And lol@ the “CRACKCRACKCRACK!” i thought it was supposed to be “clap, clap?”
Overall it was a good MV and the song was catchy. Those are definately NOT seungri’s abs, though, notice how the camera never shows the face fully in the ab shots.

and btw, I don’t thihk seungri is racist, but he is ignorant. I think there is a difference, he most likely doesn’t have any malicious intent when he stereotyped black people, but it was an ignorant comment though.

Here we go with this racist sh!t again… Why do people think that hip-hop and R&B are only for black people… Honestly Mia and CandyGirl89 the both of you need to shut up because neither of you know what you’re talking about.

Aww how cute. You’re getting all bad ass with the keyboard.


P.S. That’s a real good comeback. Just as good as the ones for your horrible grammar. I know I know you don’t give a fk about your grammar. And that reminds me. Weren’t you the one that said if you can’t sing in English properly you shouldn’t sing in English at all? If you can’t type properly so that it makes sense then maybe you should take your own advice and not do it at all. Hey, that’s your mentality not mine. But then again maybe you could copy and paste more and throw in “yawn yawn”, “tsk tsk”, and “case closed” just for fun.

No you really didn’t. With other people like “cindel25” I can respect their pov. You on the other hand don’t make much sense. And grammar does have a lot to do with it. And your lack of manners. Maybe if you would stop being so rude people wouldn’t be rude w/you. But you probably like the attention. If it floats your boat then alrighty then.
