This song has had a chokehold on the idol industry since 2010. I spoke with one of my friends, who is Indian (specifically Rajasthani), so I will include some of her commentary/information as well.
This is such an informative and in-depth post. Thank you so much for calling out the rampant prejudice and racism within the k-pop industry (aa well as the specific groups) towards Indian culture and Hinduism.
I’m glad that, just like KQ Entertainment and ATEEZ, there are people who not only apologize and accept their mistake, but take action on doing better! So I’m hopeful that one day things will get better.
<33 thank you so much for reading !! it’s so disgusting and it makes me so uncomfortable when fans try to justify the discrimination & racism. me too! i think with the undeniable global reach of kpop idols will be forced to address their future disrespect towards other cultures
