Thank you for speaking up about this! It was absolutely disgusting how they were treated. If this was towards any other American celebrity they would be fired and reprimanded. But I'm more furious towards the Met Gala for not saying anything. This is why I really hope agencies/companies start demanding more respect for their groups. They don't need to cater to western media but quite the opposite, western media needs kpop bc they bring in so many fans which equals more clicks and money.
No problem on speaking about this! I was quite furious, as if it were a Western celebrity, it most likely would have made a ton of news. The Met Gala not saying anything about this is equally frustrating. I'm hoping in the future that K-pop groups and their labels are more picky on which events to go to. I hope they ask for ample security and professionalism at these events. K-pop labels can point to events like the Met Gala as why they are asking for these measures.
I remember hearing about this. The way kpop acts are treated over here makes me not want them to attend western events anymore at all. Between James Corden making fun of kpop and its fans to American award shows inviting kpop groups because they know it brings in viewership but not respecting the idols, I'm sick of it. Kpop deserves to succeed, but no amount of validation is worth this level of disrespect and racism.
I totally forgot about James Corden making fun of K-pop until it became cool to invite BTS to his carpool karaoke segment. I do think K-pop acts and their labels need to be a lot more strict on which shows and events they attend. If incidents like the Met Gala happened in the past, that group doesn't attend that event. Just skip it; they'll be other events that respect K-pop. K-pop groups don't deserve to get hit with disrespect and racism.
I remember this incident, it was disgusting on how the artists were treated and also the Met Gala didn’t do anything, it’s a shame. These artists deserve to be treated with respect.
Agree 100%! I was equally disgusted and shocked that such a prestigious event like the Met Gala, didn't even apologize or reprimand the paparazzi on this. It's a horrible look on the event's professional standards and will scare off K-pop groups from attending in the future.
Korean agencies and groups need to stop looking to the West for some kind of validation. First, they don't need it. Second, it makes them look weak. Taking abuse is not a virtue.
Since I used to sell camera in retail, I tune in to camera gear sites. The photographic community around these sites have largely dismissed the concerns surrounding this event. Obviously, you get the comments mockingly asking, “who?” and just saying that what the paparazzi did was “technique”. I don’t think the people you need to understand what happened are ever going to listen.
Oh interesting. It looks like I'll have to disagree with the photographic community where they say the paparazzi did was purely "technique." I think it was just horrible and unprofessional. To mock a group and use derogatory terms like "how do you say right in Korean?" and another saying "arigato" is borderline racist and just disrespectful. These people, imo, are trying to justify their rude behavior and unprofessionalism... for reasons? I'm trying to see how their "technique" of insulting a group makes them wanting to pose better. I do think you're right those that believe "it was just technique" in the photography community will never listen. I guess I'll never understand their way of thinking too. As a person that used to work in journalism, all I see is a bunch of unprofessional adults cosplaying as professional media members.
@@Popsori yeah, to copy and paste one of the comments: “Paparrazi photographers have known to be offensive and there's a method to the madness, which is to elicit a response even one of anger and disgust to get an expression for an image to sell to the newspapers. Anyone who has covered the paparrazi pursuit of Princess Diana will understand this. Photographers deliberately said rude and often sexist remarks to get her to emote. I'm so glad I never went down this route.” I won’t bother showing the “woke is bad” leaning comments.
For sure, a lot of paparazzi photographers are insane and have sadly, led to deaths. I think if you have to say rude and horrible remarks to get your subject to pose well, you're not really a good photographer. Like the quote you posted above, I'm glad that person didn't go down that route either.
What is more frustrating is how Koreans didn't seem to care about their people and even made fun of Stray Kids for being 'unprofessional' and 'unfashionable'. I'm not sure if that is the majority because I'm not fluent in Korean and only read the news that is translated, but it is shocking enough that there are at least *some* Koreans who think like that!
The Koreans that made fun of Stray Kids are just weird. Why hate on your own people when they're being attacked? I'm glad Korean media reported on the blatant disrespect. Here's three Korean outlets: Korea Times: www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2024/05/398_374310.html Korea Herald: www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240509050640 Chosun Ilbo: www.chosun.com/english/kpop-culture-en/2024/05/08/X24BRIV6QBAUBLHUOW42T5FWGM/
Hey, as I already said great video but I have a question, could you, once the entire situation has been settled, make another conclusion/summary video about the fifty fifty case? Sadly i still see many people who are terribly misinformed and still believe many of the lies spread by the givers. love your videos and hope to see you soon! (just a suggestion, totally understand if youre already fed up with the case haha)
Oh yeah, I actually working on an update Fifty Fifty video right now, alongside the Hybe/Min Hee-jin one. I also see a lot of people misinformed and blame Attrakt for everything, which is sad. The Fifty Fifty case showed me a lot about fan behavior, even when there's overwhelming evidence is there. Or a court decision was made. In any case, thanks so much for watching the videos. Truly appreciate it :) It looks like your Fifty Fifty video suggestion is coming soon-ish!
@@Popsori I really appreciate your commitment to spreading the real facts behind these issues, your videos are really nuanced and informative and by far my favorite regarding the topics you address. Thank you so much for all the work that goes into these videos, I will always be looking forward to all your future endeavors! ^^

I agree.
You can take the paparazzi off of the bottom, but you can't take the bottom feeder out of the paparazzi.
I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the situation, as always a top notch video 😁
Thanks so much for watching!
