so imma be real dispatch was right in making a little fuss using celebrities on the club-going issue & koreans are 100% right in being mad at their own people irresponsibly endangering thir country, these rich idols can swallow every bit of public humiliation they get from this

if you disagree with their attitude & think that as a foreigner you have any right to demand the reactions you want from koreans about their own country’s issues, think you’re morally superior for neglecting this problem, youre racist & can block me idgaf

yes korea has done a great job in containing the outbreak & their needed quarantene procedures are much simpler than the west right now, that doesn’t mean people should just go around irresponsibly just because the government didn’t lockdown

clubs & similar entertainment places are notoriously difficult to get closed even though they should have been this whole time because they’re owned by influential political & economical elites there, for weeks the korean public has been pushing against aglomerating in these

kinds of spaces since the govt won’t close them, all club-goers have been criticized for a long time already it didn’t start with your stupid idols. this debate gained strength with the itaewon club case confirming the public’s anxiety of the dangers of keeping them open,

thats why dispatch chose this moment to stir up the case bc it would have a lot of engagement given the population’s current emotions. it also helped highlight how its people like celebrities, elites & foreigners keeping the clubs working despite the popular pushback against it

the majority of korea doesnt give a fuck abt these pop idols theyre the equivalent of dumb disney channel stars to them, nobody is singling out yr oppas just to be haters, this matter is much bigger than them but you never know it bc all u know abt korea is pop star gossip

yall got no idea how serious the topic of death is to koreans when theyve been on the precipice of genocide multiple times in the last century, they always unite & put the lives of their people above anything else in times of crisis, & yall have the gall to be mad at them for it

the whole nation froze for months in response to the sew*l tragedy yrs ago so yes of course koreans are extremely pissed off at ALL the irresponsible rich people creating health hazards in the time of a pandemic, yr faves dont get a pass just bc other ppl are doing wrong too

wim in the end is its not yr place as an entitled foreigner to disrespect & offend koreans over how this situation affects them & how they want to criticize their celebrities, the way yall feel superior for making light of this situation that doesnt affect you,

demonizing koreans for speaking up their anger online, so many of you going out of yr way to directly mock or try to fight them over their own nation bc yr so protective over some korean artist youve objectified for yr consumption — its all so monstrously dehumanizing,

stupidly RACIST cause you dont respect koreans’ position as rational human beings who have the right to protect their country even if it hurts yr pathetic pop stan feelings. and just a few more clarifications:

- dispatch is a real normal serious news source, not a celebrity gossip magazine w/ nothing to do other than try to slander ppl’s careers out of pure pettiness like foreign kpop stans painted them to be just bc thats the only time u read them.

— the nth ro*m case is unimaginably greater than this little teen idol scandal & its front page news in every korean publication rn, even major pieces in foreign news as well, you’re deeply offending koreans by pulling out completely false conspirancy theories over kpop idols

— koreans are free to do as they wish about their celebrities & its not “””xenophobic””” of them to tell westerners to fuck off & stay out of their business, you repulsive, colonizing little roaches, who just wish they didnt exist outside of yr fantasized kpop bubble

- this might not have been a grotesque mistake, but it was still wrong and its right for the idols to publicly apologize and set an example for the youth who follows them & other privileged ppl who think they wont face consequences for the egotistic behavior.

and specially if you’re american you got no business EVER criticizing koreans about ANYTHING much less stupid celebrity drama your people are literally raping & murdering koreans with a military invasion right now & you think yr superior to them bc of kpop. just ch*ke

if you read all of this and is thinking “yeah i agree with all of this, many people are taking it too far and being racist to koreans, but im not being racist bc i only criticize the ones who are Actually crazy—“ it’s you i’m talking about, get some self-awareness
