K-Pop on Yik Yak | if black culture helped shape kpop, why is racism toward black fans minimized? ex groups like bts, cortis, blackpink, bigbang, and suju still get support despite controversies why choose “loyalty” over morals? just a question. wanted real opinions!!

I feel like a lot of racism scandals boil down to a level of ignorance that can truly be avoided if they just googled it, Before they did it. Like the internet is free. If you think “if I do this, it might be seen as racism.” Then maybe don’t do it or look it up. Like i feel like it’s really not that fucking hard to just…not be racist…. And I’m lowkey sick of the “oh well they’re Korean so they don’t know” again. Google is Free. We should not be having this much cultural appropriation in 2026..

for bts atleast , they apologized for it and corrected their actions. i can’t say anything about the other groups (i don’t really know much about the others)

Because the fans are equally as racist as the groups. Until these fans (who most likely are not black) are personally victimized and offended, these groups will always have fans. Unfortunately black people don’t make up a big proportion of the k-pop fandom so nothing will ever change.

BTS’s controversy was in 2013. They’ve apologized and corrected. How long y’all gonna drag them for a mistake made 13 years ago?

i think there’s a huge difference between racism vs ignorance. and the fact the kpop fans throw around the word “racism” like it’s nothing is just as damaging

Just because a group apologizes, doesn’t make it not exist. Maybe just don’t be racist in the first place.

ignorance can be a form of racism when it results in harmful stereotypes, mockery, or anti-black behavior. intent and impact aren’t the same. someone can be “ignorant” and still cause racial harm. also, naming racism isn’t what’s damaging, racism itself is. avoiding the word to make people more comfortable and often it protects feelings over accountability

ikr!! kpop idols openly name black artists as their inspirations all the time. they study r&b, hip hop, rap, street fashion, and black dance styles. they cover songs, sample sounds, and build entire concepts around black culture. so if they’ve done enough research to adopt the aesthetics and musical influence, it’s hard to believe they’re completely unaware of basic racial history, slurs, or why certain things are offensive and whatnot
