dude WHAT is the resistance
Wait until they make their pilgrimage to Seoul and find out the smoggy, trash filled, gay hating streets don't match up to reality. You can hear their hearts shattering.

lol Mrdegyopo must be so conflicted right now.Though I wonder if these kpop fans realize how sexist and racist Korean society is, and what a big part kpop plays in that society. You almost never see activism from kpop groups, most of the time they act like cyborgs that don't want to offend anyone. It's nice of the fans to try to change American society but they should move on to changing Korean society. Good luck with that.
I don't know, judging from my OP I seem to be handling things pretty well. I think Kpop fans are a lot more knowledgeable about Korea than you give them credit for. I also think that BTS plays a negligible role in ajosshi racism and sexism. In the 90s groups like HOT sang about the IMF, bullying, and promoting social change. The fans doing this activism are mostly international and a big chunk are U.S. based, hence why they are invested in BLM and trolled the Trump campaign. I think it's great that they've done more than any of the complainers and moaners on here to stick a finger in the eye of the Trump campaign.

Is Kpop suddenly, gasp, the face of the resistance?
But the incident with Trump’s campaign rally sparked new debates among fans in South Korea, who don’t appear to have been significantly involved in that effort. Young South Korean artists rarely get involved with their country’s politics, and many fan forums ban political discussions.Chang Ju-yeon, a 22-year-old student, said that many Korean fans support BTS-led human rights campaigns, but that the singers should not be used in U.S. politics.“We’re proud that BTS leads those efforts as global artists, and do want to raise voices together on universal issues that earn everyone’s sympathy,” Chang told Reuters.“But the artists should stay away from domestic politics, as some people could take advantage of their fame for political purposes and it would eventually come back to hurt them,” Chang added.A spokeswoman for Big Hit Entertainment, the management label for BTS, declined to comment.

I wish BTS would hurry up and tell us what they think about the protests in Hong Kong or the Uyghur persecution, so I can have an opinion on the subject.
I wish Anthony Fantano would review Twice so I can have an opinion on K-pop
Oh yeah now you're against Trump, when it's your precious kpop cultists going against him. Then five minutes later you'll defend everything Trump does again just like you always do, and pretend that nobody notices.
