well.... ig i don't see it as an "oppa didn't mean it" thing but something i honestly don't find offensive at all? i mean, i think it'd be really insensitive if he went on a variety show and straight up complained about a different country's water, or if he said smth like that in an interview in that foreign country

but in a blog post it's... like standard blog feelings?

idk i hold idols as public figures so they can't do the same things as a normal person and get away with it. it's all about image and i didn't think that was a good pr move, no matter how innocent any comment or action is (like dating scandals)

(Anonymous) 2012-11-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
wow then i guess we really really really differ on how we see idols and their image

how mad are you at iu?

i thought it was a really stupid move but i don't really listen to her songs or watch her on shows so it doesn't matter at all to me. but i don't think it's wrong for the public to get angry at her and eunhyuk: not because she's a female idol and the double standards involved, but because she's an idol and she should have known better because being an idol is only what, 15% about the music? the rest is image. this is what differs between her scandal and hara's - hara wasn't an idol when the photos came out, which means what she did was what a 17 y/o did, not what an idol did. and that makes the difference to me

jw, and this honestly doesn't detract from your opinion in anyway, but how old are you and which part of the world are you from? bc this is the first time i've seen this pov and i'm wondering if it's bc the location/age of the ppl i talk to are pretty homogenous

i'm below 20 and i'm a SE asian anon educated in a western country

and just throwing it out there but this is when american anons are out, right?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-21 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
so do you consider yourself holding more se-asian views or westernized views?

normally, yes haha

(Anonymous) 2012-11-21 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
definitely an asian pov. idt there's really a large difference in a 'se asian' view vs 'east asian' or an 'asian' view in general. but i don't see how this plays into the convo?

i just think it's really entitled to think this way when the bigger picture is that people don't even have water to drink and you're honestly complaining about how bottled water doesn't taste the same. it's even worse to me when you're an idol, you broadcast this view and you're supposed to be an example

but that doesn't make it an offensive thing to say.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-21 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
i corrected myself and said it's insensitive, not offensive
