I'm only going to say two things because this whole ordeal has really taken a dark path in witch-hunting one's personality and career, especially, one that has just started outside of her home country. One, I'm sure y'all have said sentences including the word "chena".
"Chena" is usually used as a substitute word pertaining to "etc.", "so on and so forth", filler words to DELIVER AN IDEA EASIER, right? Now, take this to a different context, fill in the shoes of a KOREAN idol who uses 90% HANGUL than ENGLISH. And what do you get? DIFFICULTY.
"this corona nonsense and quarantine and whatever" both "nonsense" and "whatever" in this context, are her "chena", because these are the words she has ACCESS to, mind you, she DOESN'T practice speaking in ENGLISH like it's her religion, at the end of the day she's still KOREAN.
she used those words to "DELIVER THE IDEA EASIER" and to not "DWELL ON THE NEGATIVES" of this virus because it's her birthday and she's celebrating it with who? That's right, her FANS, MGR, who are mostly comprised of? That's right. FILIPINOS.
She's not insensitive, she's limited, her vocabulary is limited and that's not a deep of a reason enough to cancel her. She's a fantastic woman and instead of helping her up, y'all would want to do the exact opposite instead.
Two, "kaya nga pumunta sila dito kase wala silang trabaho doon" is mindless. Mind you, idol groups are made to make a name for themselves in their home country of Korea and after that where do they go next? Japan. Because Kpop is marketable in Japan and Japan LOVES idols there.
And that's what MMLD did. They became a household name after the release of BBoom BBoom and where did they went instantly after that? They debuted in Japan. Now back to my point "idol groups are made to make a name for themselves" in both KR and JP and after they have done such..
the biggest task each idol groups WANT to do and that is break into the USA. That's their endgame. Always has been, from Wonder Girls, to PSY, to even BTS and BP, that's what idol groups want to break, the xenophobia. They want the westerners to appreciate the asian culture.
But MMLD did it differently, and that's why they broke into their 3rd largest market, the PH. Because they know Filos love them, but with this type of attitude you delulu people are showing and the fact that y'all are trying to ruin her image already, idk it's just pathetic.
And additionally, "James doesn't need her" is also dumb, she's literally opening Korea's eyes for James to take advantage to. And don't slam me with "they're not well known there" while they are actually.
This is a pair that benefits each other because of their influences (and no, benefits as in advantages not sexual nonsense some of y'all are pushing forward). And I hope y'all can stop being closeminded people if y'all truly are "concerned" for your countrymen. Donate food/money.
