it will always make sense cause your defending your girlfriend. its not just somebody but your GIRLFRIEND. 

who cares about ONLINE FLAMES. whats more important is personal relationships. it seems to me that you care about online things than personal things. let the online world burn for f sake. F the internet. its your GIRLFRIEND you shpuld stand with her. what can you not understand?

hornets nets analysis. if my gf pokes a LITERAL hornets nets and the swarm attacks her. should the guy just stand there and not help at all? because its her fault? NO. the guy should help his gf FIRST. after shes safe, then you can tell her that what she did was wrong and correct her. smh

hyeri first indirect post started it though. even she admitted it in her apology. in my opininion the three of them messed up. if i math it up. hyeri 10%, hsh 20% and the guy 70% just by being silent and cowardly. GIRLS PLEASE CHOOSE A GUY THAT WILL BE THERE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. never settle for a guy that will just let you SUFFER alone.

Most likely steroids 

Big words. Can he rap though?

Increasing the quota of medical students is normal, it can always decrease depending on the need of each section, I do not see a problem with the government controlling the hospitals , private hospitals in Korea is  big thing, lucky the country has a great health system 

Maybe it's a different country thing - but reading they are going to "resign" = going on strike?

--

Resigning means quitting permanently afaik, not handing in a resignation expecting to come back to the same job when you feel like you've made your point.

It’s cosplaying another ethnic group and presenting the negative stereotypes to the public that’s racism you dumbfuck. How would you like it if I cosplay your race and present all the negative stereotypes about you to the public? People watch this and they hold these negative stereotypes against you when it’s not true. You are one dumb fuck for sure.

You find accents funny? You find mocking someone they have no control over funny? Im already concerned you find these things funny you really have low iq for sure. A person with intelligence would not find this funny.

She was mocking southeast Asians lol. There’s funny and there’s stuff that isn’t funny. Stereotypes and racism aren’t funny only people with low iq found this funny. You can make jokes without being racist.

Song Jia is different. Confidence is when you don't have to put others to make yourself above everyone. Song Jia never said like those contestant said "I think beside other contestants here, I believe I'll get the most pick." Nor did she said "I'm the most confidence about my body compare to other contestants here." In fact, she only said, "What do I know about my self? I think I'm cute " and when asked about her pick, she said "I need more time to get to know other first." And when the PD asked whether she believes she will get pick or not, she said "I don't know." // And since the first cooking scene, she help and smiled to other women contestants. She even sit down and talk to all of them. Never ever in her wording did she ever put other women down, in fact, she listened well to all of them.

The name stereotype isn't the issue, they mock the pronunciation of the surnames in hangul and call Vietnamese people vulgar hangul words that resemble their names you've never seen the memes so you wouldn't know, it's completely different to saying something like "all Koreans have the surname Kim". Maybe you've never experienced micro-aggression yourself so to you it doesn't seem like an issue but to many others it is. It can also be discouraging to Vietnamese people living in Korea as they may feel that all Koreans see them as is people with "funny" Korean accents as many have spent years learning to language to be able to make a living there. You wouldn't make fun of a migrant's english accent so why do the rules not apply to Korea? as I said previously, if Vietnamese people themselves feel upset about the skit then that's more than enough to justify that the skit was not appropriate and you have no right to say whether it is offensive or not unless you are Vietnamese yourself.

It is RACIST. Stop trying to frame it as some sort of joke.

It may not be explicitly racist but it is micro-aggression. The way they portrayed the "cute" act was not in an endearing way but they were mocking the person's accent and what's important in this situation is how Vietnamese people themselves feel about it and they are clearly upset in the youtube comments of this video. They were also not only making fun of the accent but also of the Vietnamese surname "Nguyen". That name is also often mocked on Korean online forums when making fun of Vietnamese people as it's a common Vietnamese surname and this skit also resembles the context and subject of many of the memes online in Korea making fun of Vietnamese people during the 2010's so even many of the Korean's don't think it's funny.

You can't judge whether it's racist or not if you don't even know the context behind it.

There's a big difference between making fun of your friend's accent and you have a laugh about it in private compared to mocking a Viet persons accent speaking Korean on national television. If I were to speak English how a Japanese person spoke it on national television, it would be racist. Same rule applies here.

Glad to see knetizens say something about this. How do you in this time and age produce something like this and dont see the issue with it? Wtf

Did you ever stop to think that maybe it was your comment that was toxic? 

Nowhere did it say she drank 3 cups. They GAVE her 1 cup of water and 2 cups of green tea. She didn't drink them all. Learn to read cuz you sound like a complete moron.

shut up u weeb loser. what if u were served bleach water? funny. for someone who hates koreans, why do u spend time on a kpop site?

Black people aren't fucking entitled for reclaiming a slur. I see where you're coming from but I think you've completely forgotten about the centuries of oppression and silencing of black people. She shouldn't be saying it no matter what the context is because it is offensive. If a non-black person uses the n-word its offensive because its been used to oppress black people BY NON-BLACK PEOPLE.

I can't fucking believe I have to explain to someone why using the nword is offensive.

thats HER fault if she didnt scam multiple companies where she agreed to advertise she would still be getting paid. her company probably had to account or be responsible for her actions after she scammed these people of money and free items

hence why I explicitly listed the qualifier "At least within the Hip Hop Circuit"

There are circles of Fame in ven diagrams: because there is a big difference between being known by a general public[International, East-Asian Nations], or being known by only kpop fans. There is a big difference being known by Kpop fans in general  or being known by select genres of music fans.

Especially with something like Show Me The Money. The first few seasons, the general Kpop loving crowd had little reason to care to pay attention. It was a side-note in the history of Kpop because of its extreme rap and hiphop focus. but Just because a general international kpoper on allkpop has not heard of an artist does not mean they aren't famous. Baechigi is an example. Baechigi are fucking legends.

As it is Show Me the Money's purpose isn't for international fame. But I guarantee you their demographic purpose is not for the wide general public of South Korea either.

I mean ofc a voting survival show is a popularity contest? My point was that I don't think "being famous" equals "popularity" on smtm, given the demographic of the audience that watches and votes for that show. It's different from idol fans that support their idols on idol survivals by spending a huge amount of time and money

SMTM is more than just a platform for fame though. 
It is a battleground where rappers can hone their craft, both in terms of the craft itself, but because of the nature of the Format. battling and being judged, it provides additional pressure under which an artist can force themselves to become better.
Simply staying at home, writing bars, producing albums, and releasing records will not force an artist to improve. Showing up on Show me the Money might.

1) There isn't really such a thing as "too famous,"

Fame is relative. and is a measure of how long someone is known, how many people know them,  and in what context and capacity she is known for: she is extremely new fame., with in a fairly narrow band of the population. And in general, it is largely initially with hip-hop fans (for obvious reasons) but her drunken interviews have opened her audience open further which is a benefit to both the SMTM brand and winning SMTM is a benefit to her own brand.

Show me the Money has always from Season 1 through 11 had at least one Famous (at least within the hip hop circuit) contestant appear on the show.  In comparison to some of these below, Youngji's fame, while mighty isn't disqualifing.

Season 1: Verbal Jint,  fucking *MIRYO* and Cheetah!
Season 2: Baechigi, Mad Clown,
Season 3: Giriboy, 
Season 4: Basick, Micodot, Innovator
Season 5: Flowsik
Season 6: Nucksal, Junoflo, Olltii, Hangzoo, P-Type
Season 7: Chaboom, SuperBee, Nafla, Kid Milli (His fame is weird fame, since its Pro-gamer fame)
Season 8: Olltii ,Mushvenom
Season 9: Swings, Killagramz, Mushvenom, lil Boi, 
Season 10: Don Mills, Basick, Mudd the Student.

Do people win by how famous they are on smtm though? The audience for that show is a bit different than idol competitions imo. I think famous doesn't necessarily equal popularity on smtm.

Not that smtm isn't rigged though... stopped watching 2nd season

Most will choose whichever lawyer is the one most likely to win them their case. 

I wouldn't care if my lawyer was a neon purple squid with ASD if they are the best to accomplish what I need done.

If they are a lawyer then they passed all the required classes and tests. 

How would they not be capable of representing you?

This sucks. Sakamoto, the artist of the song that was allegedly plagiarised, spoke up and said that he felt it was fine and that there were similarities but that rarely can anyone create an entirely unique song. He himself has clear similarities with some famous classical musicians because he has taken inspiration from them. Other people speaking up and saying "this is not a light issue"... who are they? Yoo Hee Yeol apologised, Sakamoto has said that it is fine and never an issue, so aren't these other people just pushing something for their own sake now? It really, really sucks because Sketchbook has been such a solid platform for artists for such a long time and is dearly beloved. For Yoo Hee Yeol to "retire" or at least retire the show like this is sad.

Well, does he really have anything to gain? If he is lying, isn't he smart enough to know that it would lead to the current circumstances? Could some one really go on the air and say that, and expect to get away with it....if it's false?

Maybe she is embarrassed, as the younger generation tends not to do that. Her agency could also think its bad optics. Who knows. Why do we assume the Shaman has to be the liar? He had a lot to lose as well. We just don't know.

And he said she did.  What if she is the one telling a lie.  Why MUST it be the shaman?

what did he actually say though? i need an article or quotes translated to english 

Many songs sound similar because they use similar chords and songwriters do get influenced/ inspired by other songs. Its oftentimes not intentional. Ballads are especially susceptable because of the lack of 'add-in' melodies and sound effects. 

Not sure its fair to start scrutinizing Heeyeol's compositions. Saying "it sounds the same" isn't a fair statement. At least check if its real plagarism as defined by law.

Just listen; all these songs from just 4 chords.

Is there any originality in the Asian market space? Everything is a remake of something or someone is always taking ideas. Wasn't Squid Game a copy of a Japanese show that was released years prior. Smh.

So why blame them if they are driving drunk. A person clearly would have poor judgment when they are really drunk before deciding to go for a drive . So driving a car would make sense to a drunk driver.

Where does it say in the Korean law you can't drive with no alcohol? Clearly mistakes can be made. Go learn the law.

Unlike the crazy people on this site who judge/act like they are perfect and want to go around condemning people with a sword, I show understanding to your situation. Be well.
