    I think there was a mistranslation of “biological warfare”

    Edit: Jfc, I can’t believe I agree with lil kim

    Kim has called South Korean K-pop a “vicious cancer.”)

    Also, this response is based as fuck, and I can’t believe I’m using the term based because I think it’s fucking stupid, but this is based as fuck.

    Oh, y’all gonna fuck with us and drop letter bombs? Hold my north Korean beer…

    It’s a shit storm.

    I’m gonna shit myself laughing at this

        Eh, it isn’t the music that’s the cancer. It’s just bland pop, no big deal.

        It’s the industry that surrounds it that’s cancerous. It chews “idols” up and spits them out.

          That’s kind of every industry though? Kpop is particularly insidious but it’s right along the lines of child pageantry, game development, and teaching in the US for exploitation. Just because someone else tells you that you have to work yourself into the ground to achieve success, it doesn’t mean you have to actually do it. 9/10 times you’re working harder to make up for mismanagement and being gaslit into thinking you’re the problem. Parents, bosses, whoever thinks they’re the authority, they’re all trying to get you to forget that everyone’s superpower is the power of choice. Someone else can always force your hands but nobody can ever make you choose to do anything. You must agree to be truly complicit.

          Also I saw baby metal the other week. They’re pretty neat and vaguely kpop inspired so kpop gets a pass for now.
