Yes! It's very sexist. Sana's outfit from Twice was one of the worst I've seen...it can't even be considered a dress. How can a singer dance in something that short?
that's a sad in reality in kpop :

This! men are allowed to be more multi-dimensional in their personalities but women are confined to be being racy and provocative in their outfits and s*x appeal. Asians have this problem all over, but in SK its showing through Kpop. Also being dumb on purpose is another thing, their target audience is also dumbing down as a result. Extremely fake.
Wow!! That's so sick. I hope the girls are fine. How could her own father do this to her?? I remember there was a suju member who said his superiors in the army asked him to share numbers of female idols with them. The men in military are desperate. They treat women like a piece of meat.
Most men in SK consider women as pieces of meat; we foreigners don't know about it but it's an open and accepted secret over there. Something like 80% of the average male population there goes to prostitutes. This must be the same for male idols, probably even higher. Everyone there strives for that respectable and prude image, but the reality is gross.
In SK, there's a deeply-seated resentment among men towards women...these men think the women get too many "advantages..."the misogyny is strong, especially in terms of military enlistment/duties...
They call aegyo "cutesy" stuff internationally, but in Korea it's called "baby" stuff
They always market the female idols that way. In fact, companies said that they've started making girl groups do "girl crush" concepts to get more female fans interested, because male fans will "like it no matter what"
And don't forget how popular "molka" is. It's where perverts put hidden cameras in public bathrooms just to watch women go to the bathroom. That is some of the weirdest and most disgusting thing ever. If they can't be an upstanding person and attract women naturally to see them naked (after marriage) then they are just a creep and are treating women wickedly!!
I agree with you there. I used to be heavily depressed and part of what made me so depressed was the nonsense I was listening to! Most people do not realize how much of an impact music has on our brains and on our mental health! When I got into K-pop, I threw away all my western trash music and found myself being a lot happier, having a better mood, and less insomnia!Although there certainly is bad influences in some Kpop, I do personally find that not all Kpop is evil. In fact, many Kpop songs are a lot better (and it certainly has a cleaner image) than what passes in this day as "Western music".
The cuteness/aegyo aspect pf Kpop is certainly much more appealing than the "strong woman" image that is nearly always pushed in western songs.
This is certainly not true of all the songs, but it is an aspect in which I think they have done a lot better than the insane woke west. You guys point out a lot though of what goes on in the industry, that many are not aware of, so good job with that. I hope such issues will get addressed as it is exposed.
My experience with it has been very similar to what you described. I got into K-pop about 3 years ago and found it to be so much more positive than the western music I was listening to, that I almost completely stopped listening to western music since most of it was depressing. I found K-pop to be much more uplifting. The quality of the releases and the amount of effort put into it is also obvious and been found to be an inspiring thing in itself. I started showing it to some of my friends who had never even heard of or seen K-pop before. Some of them made comments about it being quite different and more positive in general. It often happens that a song can get stuck in one's head, if it's depressing and negative then it has a negative impact, but if uplifting and positive then the effect is the opposite. Since I've been listening to K-pop, I've had a different experience because you can often end up with an uplifting song on repeat in your head and I think that's preferable! I hope the west will learn something from it. But, there is currently a lot of negativity in the west unfortunately.. I suppose it just ends up coming through the music.
apart Jennie, i really think that Lily Rose Deep was really groomed , that was her first major role and it was kinda sexual ..
