Jia took a break and now she’s back on track. Her fame won’t be short lived, she’s paving her path all the way again and she’s receiving a ton of positive attention, at least from foreign fans. She has now a team working for her, a new home and she’s posting videos on her channel every week like she used to. She’s slowly building her image again and she might not recover her hype entirely but I believe some brands will “forget” what happened and still collaborate with her, she’s always a hot topic and extremely marketable. Her “cancellation” was a very traumatic experience to her but I believe she might get back where she was
Even before the controversies never understood why the fuzz with her, maybe the editors portrayed very badly. The other two lady contestant's were way more likeable, whereas she just stood there with a plain face🤷🏻♀️. So when you said the international fan will carry her, what's that's mean, in the end what will be the result of supporting her in a movie career ??? I don't think so, singing for releasing a music album, neither. What is her talent? What does she do? 🤷🏻♀️.
@@matthewlyn9224 she was a beauty guru and style icon, there’s your answer. She did makeup tutorials, beauty and style tips, outfit ideas and life advice in general. Being able to do makeup looks and put a nice and stylish outfit together IS a talent. It’s art at the end of the day. Even before she went on Singles Inferno she was popular in South Korea and participated in Variety Shows, she wouldn’t be invited for no reason lol. She’s charismatic and alluring, there’s no science behind it 🤷🏼♀️ the “”result”” of supporting her would be what she already had, fame and success. She was as famous as an idol
I always felt like Koreans hold their celebrities to too high of a standard, it's not human and comes of as inauthentic. I hope things will change because it's not healthy for our favorite artists to constantly be watched and scrutinised and they are regular human beings who are bound to make mistakes. Soojin from I-dle didn't deserve to get cancelled. The rumors and accusation of her were never verified. But cancelling someone for mistakes during childhood is just wrong, we can't expect people to never make mistake from birth.
no its koreans that are super soft and sensitive and cannot handle little criticism and they also have that installed victim mentality that when they see problem like these they like to think that they are victims instead of changing something
Korea and China take it to another level when it comes to the cancel culture. It’s like no other country and to such an extreme level. No one can be seen as imperfect nor can they ever make any mistakes regardless of how big or small. At the end of the day these Celebs are human like everyone else and the fans/media need to stop portraying them as anything other… the criticisms are too severe and for something that no other country would even blink at eye at it will end your career in Korea. Appreciate the celebs for who they are and stop putting such unrealistic expectations on them.
Also Japan,In one case some citizens bulled Hana Kimura until she committed suicide for being rude(flipping a cast member hat off),it was later found out that the scene was staged.
Cancel culture is definitely a sensitive aspect due to the domino effect it has on someone’s reputation and image! Social media perpetuates this notion because someone will try to uncover a small detail of negativity and use it for their campaign without any context. K-pop culture has become a prevalent scene throughout the world that many don’t realize the adverse implications: physical, mental, and social it has on the artists/celebrities. The pressure to maintain the demand of the growing audiences takes a serious toll on these performers. Being a celebrity in todays modern generation is difficult! Love these topics and issues; especially you discussing it objectively, Sienna!
how about we look at it from different angle there are 3 celebrities in usa cardi b amber rose back china celina powel they have a superpower superpower that no korean celebrity have they do not give a shit what you say you can call them sluts bitches talentless waste of space absolute garbage you can say ANYTHING OR WHITE ANYHTING ABOUT THEM they do not and never will care because they are rich and famos hell, you giving them more attention at this point and koreans are not like that they are so soft weak and sensitive its insane if you allow some people in internet who do not even know you to bully you and make you feel worse about yourself you should not be celebrity thats it and we live in democracy that means freedom of speach yes even if it means insulting someone do american celebrities cry about hate ? of course they do look at lizo this girl was crying on ig live how everyone calling her walking whale but at the same time she demonstrate to everyone how she is proud of being big and it korea EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT everyone so the problem is in koreans
I agree completely with you. Some people deserved to be canceled (example: Seungri), while others don’t (example: Irene). Society should not immediately jump to cancel someone, but we need to wait until there’s enough evidence to. Remember “innocent until proven guilty,” people!
I personally think that the cancel culture is very toxic and that it does more harm to people than good. Of course I agree that everyone should be held accountable for wrongdoings and sometimes it’s even fair to stop promoting/supporting an artist and boycott their work. The problem, however, is that the public doesn't hold themselves accountable to the same standards as they do with artists. I get that celebrities are role models to others but people shouldn't expect them to be perfect. But what bothers me the most is that whenever a celebrity is exposed as a bully, everyone jumps on the hate bandwagon and sends the artist death threats and disgusting hate messages. Cyber Bullying a bully isn’t okay either and I am simply tired of this hypocritical pattern.

Agreed 100%. The weird thing is celebrities themselves never covet being role models. The public make assumptions by itself and then punish or reward by itself🤷♀
The cancelling members really some hypocrites . Agree , what about the damage caused when the alleged individual is proven innocent. Anybody from the cancelling side come forward and apologize?
the thing with cancel culture isn’t that they want to hold you accountable (holding people accountable is good, don’t get me wrong), they want to see that celebrity or influencer stop existing. because why is it that members of ‘cancel culture’ still bring up a celebrity’s wrong doing even after he/she has apologized? what more do you want from them?
Thanks for the info! I also noticed that sometimes ppl online cancels others too quickly and lightly, so hearing abt it in Korea was interesting to me. ^_^
Netizens are the prime reason I’ll never actively participate in fan culture for Korean content. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the content outside of the fandoms because they scare the living shit outta me. lol
The fact that the woman that ruined Seon Ho's life is not in jail for blatantly LYING on him is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable! He should be able to sue her for defamation. And Soojin also should never have been fired from G-Idle
i love jia and i’m glad she’s back posting! and it’s always interesting to watch your videos and learn more about how south korean society approaches certain issues
Loved seeing you take on this topic! As an international k-pop fan I've really sympathized with celebrities because it seems they have so little freedom and that their reputation and livelihood can be taken away so easily.
In the U.S. since there’s less of a moral obligation to cancel certain celebrities I think a lot of people have gotten passes they didn’t deserve. It’s why the #MeToo movement had so much momentum. If someone doesn’t face repercussions immediately they never learn from their actions and victimize even more people. I don’t agree with how celebrities in South Korea are treated in situations where it’s only speculation, but I sort of envy how easily someone is removed from a position of power when they’re found to be an abuser etc. But then I wonder who are the celebrities that are given a pass when information isn’t made public.
Great topic Sienna. I think it’s interesting that Jennie and Irene are close. I didn’t know that; i always felt like the both had a rbf thing about them but I didn’t think that about Jennie as she seemed nice despite her rbf. Thank you for pointing out the cultural aspects of cancel culture in Korea. I think people are mostly jealous because some issues are just so small and fixable. Jia was a clear example of that; finding something small to pick on because someone is more beautiful, successful and seemingly happier than the average person.
@@NQuiz52 Mhm that’s why naver (a Korean social media website) removed the comment section and is about to remove (or did remove) the angry face reaction bc of how it’s harming people (mainly celebrities)
I continued to support him despite the allegations because it was very one-sided. I am just glad his friends, colleagues and dispatch went to dig and defend him because he was too kind to expose the lie that would ruin his ex. I always like to hear both sides to a story and if things are heavily one-sided one must question the validity of it.
I first saw Jia on Single's Inferno. To preface this, I had no idea why all the guys were falling all over each other for her when she seemed to be the least interesting person on the show when all she did was act aloof. There was a gorgeous neurosurgeon in-training there too and a girl who owns her own gym and does jiu jitsu for crying out loud while the other girls seemed a lot more down to earth. That said, I heard about the "big news" of her wearing fake products or whatever and that just seemed so overblown and fueled by haters. The amount of airtime it got was ridiculous. I have no respect for the guys on the show who then immediately dropped her like a radioactive potato and unfollowed her on social media when they were kissing the ground she walked on the week before. Japan does this too and I never understood why people care so much when celebrities do what regular people can do normally.
I think it’s pretty obvious why all the guys feel for her. South Korea is a place where money, status and looks are everything and hold too much power. The guys saw Jia and ran after her because let’s be real, they were gold diggers and social climbers. She looked hella expensive and refined, they smelled the money and besides she is stunning after all. When that guy she picked in the end unfollowed her immediately after the controversy arose just confirms this. They did the other girls dirty in the show by leaving Jia for last when meeting the participants, everyone was stunned by her appearance. Celebrities are put on unrealistic expectations and standards and must keep up with them, that’s why. They must have this perfect put together fabricated image otherwise they get dumped if they look human, it’s a mad concept 🤷🏼♀️
@@M-ia no if this girl did not react at all nothing would happened but no koreans are so weak its crazy they cant handle any criticism and have these national victim mentality its crazy am going to be honest if you cant handle hate dont be celebrity
Hate spreads faster than Love. Why? Social media has brought on so much good and so much negativity in people. As long as a celebrity does not hurt another person, I am fine with them. Their personal lives, is their business.
finally i found an indept about the cancel culture in Korea. I did read on google that there is a comparison between 2 actors or actress and its really sad
I think there are celebrities (be it idols, stars or influencers) who should be called out for bad behavior/ actions but not necessarily cancelled. The problem with this cancel culture paired with social media is it becomes an online mob, that ends up in bullying whether that person is guilty or innocent.
Hey Sienna, its nice to have found you and your channel. Im Canadian (Bangladeshi origin) but well pretty much Canadian with the old school mentality. So naturally I gravitated towards the K wave, the good of the culture your society is exporting. Honestly I am big fan of K content, Im 40 and a Twice fan so yea that kind of sums it up. Just saying Im a fan and I like the nice shows, the slow burn love portrayed in the dramas and the lack of explicit content. It’s interesting to know of what happens in Korea behind the glamor- your info on your channel are very interesting, informative and well explained. So thanks for the hard work and keep sharing. I will likely have questions - but cant think right now. Just wanted to say thanks. If you’re ever visiting Ottawa, Timmies (remember?) on me.
I think Jia, have well deserved their criticism. The World Intellectual Property Organization It has released various studies indicating economic damage in billions of dollars not only for companies but also for small micro and medium-sized companies. Selling, buying and using counterfeit products is a horrible practice, it is as if you were illegally dealing drugs
Well that has been discussed multiple times but I can’t stress this enough, it’s basically adoring someone, putting them on a pedestal while feeding their egos to the fullest, obsessing over them and as soon as possible they get brutally pushed outta the pedestal by minor or stupid reasons, sometimes just because. It’s always happening, especially with newer celebrities and actors like Doja Cat when she lost weight, Sydney Sweeney when she had a mental breakdown bc someone called her ugly completely out of pocket (like???), Billie Ellish (everyone loved her but suddenly hated her and called her songs cringy while cancelling her), Charli D’Amelio, Song Jia, etc. Every one of them were loved and then teared apart. Idolising culture is so toxic
Unfortunately, this largely boils down to bullying and the bullies are usually very weak mentally, so they take it out on any target they can find. The Internet has allowed these bullies to flourish and given these weak people a sense of power they never had before. I suspect most of them are hypocrites whose morality is worse than the people they attack.
In contrast to all the income they create for the country, what Kcelebrities go through seems extremely creepy to me. Cancel culture is just one of the many injustices they meet. I was so upset when I heard what B.I. had to go through. He was basically the backbone of that band and what? "He allegedly tried to buy pot"? I was like are you people serious? It is extremely absurd in western countries I think. Celebrities should be able to choose how to live their own lives, as long as they don't promote their lifestyle as "the one to go with". And they are most certainly eligible for privacy. The ones who must be cancelled and criminally dealt with are those who leak private conversations and matters.
This is kind of strange because in all the reality and variety shows/ youtube vids I've seen from S.Korea, majority of the younger generation seem OBSESSED with designer clothing. There are even idol songs criticising this "greed" for richer things and how it was difficult to fit in with others if you weren't of a higher social standing. Ironically, I've also come across a lot of Koreans wearing fake designer clothing, especially rookie idols. I've even seen videos of shopping districts FILLED with fake designer clothing. I don't understand why a non-celebrity can do it and live as they want but a celebrity can't? What does her wearing fake designer things have to do with her wanting to open up her own shop? A MAJORITY of the population doesn't have the financial comfort to buy designer wear, not to mention, if you're smart with your budget, you'd know it isn't a feasible investment. This is like all the white birds looking at an equally white bird and calling it black. All this REEKS of jealousy and misplaced self-rightousness.
no the problem is in korean celebrities I just dont get how a peron who is a celebrity can be so soft and sensitive if you cannot handle hate dont be celebrity thats it and another think they all have these installed victim mentality they love to think that they are victims
@@allenk6373 you sound jealous. If you think you can throw shit at a person just because they're rich, then why don't you try becoming a celeb and see just how difficult it is. It's so easy to insult someone while typing on a keyboard. Try to learn some basic human empathy.
I feel like what I'm seeing is it's ok to do bad things when people don't see or can't say anything then you're a perfect and respectful person. But if someone catches you and is brave enough to say something then everyone wants to attack you. There's a lot of double standards and hypocrisy in this culture.
Personally, I just stop following people when I see they treat others badly. I don't get in on the mob mentality, I only consider the facts released and whether or not I personally care about these things enough to stop supporting someone.
Don't know how i got here and don't watch Kdramas, but that first case ...idk man, it's very possible the guy is guilty. Just because other actors (who are working for the same company probably) defended him doesn't mean anything. These celebrities have massive PR machines behind their backs.
Kim Sun Ho is an excellent actor, and appears to be a cool guy. I think his ex-girlfriend needs psychiatric help. This guy donated his time to charities, and actually visits children’s hospitals. Dang, Koreans can be rough! Irene is in the trash too? Do you actually believe she treated the people who worked for her bad? Irene is sweet whenever I’ve seen her perform. Frisia was lucky to get an opportunity. She was discovered online…so she’s wearing knock-off clothes - Wow ! Let’s take her designs and copy them. I don’t care why she wears knockoffs,it’s that she hurts the actual manufacturers. You are making us think about cancel culture. Sienna, get out of my head. (AHAHA) 😍💕😍
And we have boycott culture. Previously it wasn't so effective but nowadays it is. While it is different from korean cancell culture because boycott of a certain celebrity or their films or songs happen because they have given a statement that is politically wrong and hurt sentiments of the people in real time. While in Korea people can be cancelled ona rumor. Here celebrities are forgiven their character flaws and public gives them a chance but sometimes celebrities go out of the way to disrespect a particular community that's when the boycott trend starts. Korea is a bit harsh for celebrities because even small actions are taken out of context and seen as a character flaw and they are cancelled. That's extreme because an entertainers character doesn't affect the public while a politicians affect greatly.
What made the Irene scandal so bad was that people were WAITING for Irene to get into one cause people already projected their hate onto her for any reason they could imagine, so when that stylist came out with the allegations people jumped on JUST for the sake of bandwagon hate (which isn’t her first time accusing an idol of something and if it was an issue why not be professional & tell SM instead of running to the internet?). The stylist had done this to idols before allegedly* and have ruined many idols reputations due to her allegations. Irene included. People already hated Irene cause of pettiness & jealousy so when that happened they just took the scandal and ran. They didn’t stop to think about what the stylist saying not making sense they just ran to bully Irene cause they thought that was enough to do so.
Great video thanks for the insight of what’s going on in Korea. It’s so interesting to see how a society is controlled and manipulated with these stars. And in turn the stars are manipulated and controlled in fear of the public finding something out about them. Western society is very much the same but I can see Korea is worse. When will the world wake up and stop being blind to real issues in the world instead of paying attention to a star’s private life
Great video as always Sienna! I wonder if there is actual evidence of kids choosing not to bully due to celebrity cancellations. I've never been a fan of the idea of canceling someone due to their behavior as a child. It feels like something that should be dealt with between parents not in the court of public opinion. Someone at 10 years old is a totally different person compared to 24. I'm generally ok with adult bad behavior having some consequences since, well, you're an adult. You should know better. At the same time though, the punishment should fit the crime and people should be sure it actually happened before they start going off. I'll never understand going after FreeZia and her family for occasionally using fake goods. How will I go on if her bag isn't truly Chanel?! Ultimately, people should just try to pay more attention to their own lives.
Dude, the opposite of this is a society where the ruling class and upper ranks of society can't be criticized at all and those who break the rules face severe punishment. Almost like North Korea. It still amazes me how the North and South Korea are like total opposites in several aspects. I prefer a society where the upper class are held to very high standards because it's their job to be high-level humans in exchange of their privileges.
I will have to disagree with cancelling celebrities who used to be bully deterring younger kids from becoming bullies. No matter where you go there will always be this one individual who mistreats you and bully you. Cancelling celebrities because they used to be bully is not going to make bullying rate in Korea to go down. The best thing to do in that situation is to forgive those who wronged you and move on. Only then all the pain and trauma lifts away from you. Trust me I used to live there and got bullied very severely. Also, to answer your question. I feel like a celebrity who did not deserve to get cancelled would be Soojin from (G) idle. The whole thing was basically just a witch hunt. Sisters who accused her had no proof and they were just allegations. When Seo Shin Ae actress claimed that she used to be bullied by her she carefully crafted her words to make Soojin look like a villain in public eye. Despite no proof to back up her claims people just started to turn against Soojin because Shin Ae was more famous than Soojin and had more influence. Not to mention there were a lot of unverified rumours that were going around social media at the time as well. Many people just rode this hate bandwagon and everything snowballed out of control. Her dream and career was cut short because of this. I want this injustice to be reversed. I want same people who tarnished her reputation and image restore it back. I want Soojin to be reinstated back to G-idle.
Sometimes what one perceives as bullying isn’t really what the other person intended. I hate it when everyone jumps on a bandwagon without hearing out two sides of a story and just wants to go with the narrative that makes them feel good, more sensational or morally high.
I don't know, I'm agreeing that many people are just ready and waiting to hate someone for tiny reasons. especially popular people. but maybe because I'm from Korea? I think western cultures are too generous about bad behavior. I don't understand how people can separate the person and their product lol
TBH the case that really discusted me was Seo Soojin from G-IDLE Basically Soojin was my least favorite in the Group since all the Girls are Hyper talented But she is the Only one That is not up to My taste in Looks,yet everyone was always claiming She is the Best looking Maybe only beaten by Miyeon. On top of that her Sluggish rarely youthful behavior wasnt really interesting to me in a crackhead energy group like G-IDLE. Yet As for her talent she always amazed me. And she fully belongs there. Her Skills as a dancer ,actress are unmatched even by other members. As for Bully accusation, I don't even care if they are true or false. And I even propagate if she is found guilty in a Fair trial, she should be forced to pay reparations and treatment of any psychological damages the victim is suffering from. In the harshest way possible. As well as publically apologize as a influencer. However Her career is not a consequence of her Bullying others into submission but Hard work, talent and conforming to expectations in a very hardcore industry. Canceling Her life for something she did AS A CHILD. Where she CAN NOT BE HELD responsible by LAW of ANY SOVEREIGN country that has any reason and dignity. Idols already dedicate ANY chance of becoming ANYTHING else for that slight hope of becoming an artist. Since they waste all the time of their lives to practice 24/7. Its not a cancelation of a celebrity life, it's literally a death sentence. She needs to move to a different country to have a life. And that not even including the term Good in front of Life. And before some smartass comments ,remember How You the Underage kid did EVERYTHING right and never hurt others passively or actively. Then you may proceed to search for my Twitter. (which I don't have because I Have IQ exceeding binary numbers) Reading through comments and posts, I have discovered How Eager people are: 1. To grab the chance of Holding power to decide the fate of someone who actually achieved something more than them. Taking it out on others for the fact they have No control over their own life and the Things Chebol and government do to them. We can't have shit, so we will take away their shit too... We have a saying in My country: Hope neighbor's cow dies. (you don't have anything from it, but at least the neighbor lost something) 2. Leaping at the chance to destroy a Group that doesn't conform to their standard /and or competes and regularly defeats their own favorite group. This is the Time G-IDLE is at its absolute Peak, wiping the floor with every Award show Korea can Host. Not to mention, It is Supported Harder by Foreign Fans than Korean ones. 3. Clinging to anything to achieve xenophobic satisfaction about something that makes them uncomfortable. Because how dare them be different. And successful at the same time. I spent my Life conforming to standards and still have Nothing... That was the moment I really wanted to Hurl by observing a culture, or better said lack there of. In the case of Bully like AOA where 2 Legal ADULTS are stepping out of bound 100% yeah. They are Legally obligated to respect each others' integrity, so yeah. 19+ in Korea means the LAW recognizes them as Old enough to Maturely make decisions and bear consequences of those decisions. 13 year old Nah m8 GTFO. That should have been stopped Right there and then. You have NO right to cancel someone's Hard earned life Just because Your Group cant win an award, and there's people that Love what you don't deem favorable. I see Now G-IDLE lost some massive weight and conform to K looks way more, but I also see Foreign fans of them Less interested than ever. It's like Parents when the Kid says :I'm going to war, and you can stop me. You still love them for what they are your kids, you will still wait for them,worry and tend to them after they suffer... But there's that hidden creeping feeling of you knowing they will take a gun an shoot people dead for stupid Propaganda... Although I agree with you Sienna that Showing consequences is a positive thing, this is 90% damaging and 10% positive. Nothing good can be taught to kids from it. But Vengeful Mob justice. Decision to enact a Beheading needs to be Justified and backed up by Positive outcome. This is just Interpretation, its the Neo-feminist way : Please all look at this ONE point we wanna show you and FORGET all the other things that are happening because of it. Just focus on the Good thing, please. You are not allowed to see the bad stuff. That doesnt work Human brain will passively imprint and reproduce such behavior in its entirety. Unless you reason with it...
Cancel culture can get positive results if its used right, unfortunately lately this type of mass group activity results in ruining many people's lives. people are so petty and overly sensitive, worst off is that they go on hearsay without doing their own research on a topic before they begin boycotting someone.
If you're not in a group, you're a bad person, I find that dumb. I'm surprised Korea is not about actual evidence, and proof before discrimination. I find Asia to be way too judgemental, unforgiving, and mind set towards not actually gaining facts. Beleiving all rumors, or not hearing all sides of the story before judging is bad... As for Cancel Culture in America, I think Amber Heard is the biggest, and recent one... Iv'e been watching a lot of Korean & Japanese tv shows on Netflix lately, alway's saddens me when I see someone cancelled. And I noticed drug use can get a person cancelled in Asia, even to the point of being completely taken out of a movie, or video game project... I don't mean to point fingers only at Asia, some of America's biggest issue's are the insane amount of homeless & drug addicts, along with mentally unstable ppl firing off guns. Crime is big in America
It's pretty much the same situation in the States these days also. Since the "#Me too" movement, all a woman has to do is accuse an actor or celebrity of something & the poor guy has his show cancelled before he's even had a trial or had a chance to defend himself.
Overall great video. I agree with Cancel Culture being toxic. People should stop behaving as if they were PERFECT human beings, and obviously stop expecting that from other people, no matter the class or social status. In reality, my personal opinion is that a lot of people just jump so quick on the cancel wagon because of that thrilling moment of seeing somebody successful fall. However, humans are not born perfect and will never be. We make mistakes, and then we decide to learn or not from them. IMO that is what makes the difference. Was it an isolated incident? Was it repeated? How much time ago did it take place? Was it a criminal offense? Was there a proper trial? What was the result? People should stop to ask themselves these questions (As you very well mentioned). Of course the psychological layers behind this phenomenon are countless, but I don't want to write the Bible here LMAO I just disagree with your statement about cancel culture in the west not existing. Also, in my humble opinion Brad Pitt is a bad example here because he has literally been one of the hottest men on earth (and his beauty was very "standard" or for "all publics"), so he got the "Handsome pass" a lot (sad but true), also there is the fact that his roles have always been kinda like variations of the bad playboy (so people weren't as shocked as if his roles were the kind guy, people tend to mix reality and fiction). There have been precedents of this even with people that aren't celebrities. For example, a USA Serial Killer (Ted Bundy) who killed 30 women but a lot of women were thirsting for him because he was attractive, to the point of just going to the trial to thirst for him. A lot of people like Johnny Depp got cancelled and were even removed from movies (and others got away with very shady stuff aswell, not trying to switch the discourse here). My point here is that cancel culture is not necessarily inexistent here, but rather different. I feel like people just cancel what's "Cancellable" here, as opposed to Koreans that just don't care. Also, Mainstream Media plays a lot of part in this. They cover only the cases that are beneficial to their agendas. Anyways, Keep up the good work!
Don't take it seriously. This girl has a lot of bias, and sees things from a weird point of view. I don't think this kind of video help you to understand Korean society at all.
There are so many RUclipsr who speak about the good things. A lot of the topics that she brings to light are VERY important to understand Korea. Many have rosy glasses.
Jia took a break and now she’s back on track. Her fame won’t be short lived, she’s paving her path all the way again and she’s receiving a ton of positive attention, at least from foreign fans. She has now a team working for her, a new home and she’s posting videos on her channel every week like she used to. She’s slowly building her image again and she might not recover her hype entirely but I believe some brands will “forget” what happened and still collaborate with her, she’s always a hot topic and extremely marketable. Her “cancellation” was a very traumatic experience to her but I believe she might get back where she was
Even before the controversies never understood why the fuzz with her, maybe the editors portrayed very badly. The other two lady contestant's were way more likeable, whereas she just stood there with a plain face🤷🏻♀️. So when you said the international fan will carry her, what's that's mean, in the end what will be the result of supporting her in a movie career ??? I don't think so, singing for releasing a music album, neither. What is her talent? What does she do? 🤷🏻♀️.
@Mark Marcus what is there that you don’t understand lmfao can you read?
@@matthewlyn9224 she was a beauty guru and style icon, there’s your answer. She did makeup tutorials, beauty and style tips, outfit ideas and life advice in general. Being able to do makeup looks and put a nice and stylish outfit together IS a talent. It’s art at the end of the day. Even before she went on Singles Inferno she was popular in South Korea and participated in Variety Shows, she wouldn’t be invited for no reason lol. She’s charismatic and alluring, there’s no science behind it 🤷🏼♀️ the “”result”” of supporting her would be what she already had, fame and success. She was as famous as an idol
I really hope she recovers cause what they did to her is ridiculous! I still follow her and am cheering for her success.
I always felt like Koreans hold their celebrities to too high of a standard, it's not human and comes of as inauthentic.
I hope things will change because it's not healthy for our favorite artists to constantly be watched and scrutinised and they are regular human beings who are bound to make mistakes.
Soojin from I-dle didn't deserve to get cancelled. The rumors and accusation of her were never verified.
But cancelling someone for mistakes during childhood is just wrong, we can't expect people to never make mistake from birth.
no
its koreans that are super soft and sensitive
and cannot handle little criticism
and they also have that installed victim mentality
that when they see problem like these they like to think that they are victims instead of changing something
Korea and China take it to another level when it comes to the cancel culture. It’s like no other country and to such an extreme level.
No one can be seen as imperfect nor can they ever make any mistakes regardless of how big or small. At the end of the day these Celebs are human like everyone else and the fans/media need to stop portraying them as anything other… the criticisms are too severe and for something that no other country would even blink at eye at it will end your career in Korea.
Appreciate the celebs for who they are and stop putting such unrealistic expectations on them.
Also Japan,In one case some citizens bulled Hana Kimura until she committed suicide for being rude(flipping a cast member hat off),it was later found out that the scene was staged.
Cancel culture is definitely a sensitive aspect due to the domino effect it has on someone’s reputation and image! Social media perpetuates this notion because someone will try to uncover a small detail of negativity and use it for their campaign without any context.
K-pop culture has become a prevalent scene throughout the world that many don’t realize the adverse implications: physical, mental, and social it has on the artists/celebrities. The pressure to maintain the demand of the growing audiences takes a serious toll on these performers. Being a celebrity in todays modern generation is difficult!
Love these topics and issues; especially you discussing it objectively, Sienna!
I agree, they take it tooooooo far.
how about we look at it from different angle
there are 3 celebrities in usa
cardi b
amber rose
back china
celina powel
they have a superpower
superpower that no korean celebrity have
they do not give a shit what you say
you can call them sluts
bitches
talentless
waste of space
absolute garbage
you can say ANYTHING OR WHITE ANYHTING ABOUT THEM
they do not and never will care because they are rich and famos
hell, you giving them more attention at this point
and koreans are not like that
they are so soft weak and sensitive its insane
if you allow some people in internet who do not even know you to bully you and make you feel worse about yourself
you should not be celebrity
thats it
and we live in democracy that means freedom of speach
yes even if it means insulting someone
do american celebrities cry about hate ? of course they do look at lizo
this girl was crying on ig live how everyone calling her walking whale but at the same time she demonstrate to everyone how she is proud of being big
and it korea EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT
everyone
so the problem is in koreans
I agree completely with you. Some people deserved to be canceled (example: Seungri), while others don’t (example: Irene). Society should not immediately jump to cancel someone, but we need to wait until there’s enough evidence to. Remember “innocent until proven guilty,” people!
Innocent until proven guilty doesnt apply to the court of public opinion though.
Seungri didn't deserve alot of what he was blamed for. They made him a scapegoat
I personally think that the cancel culture is very toxic and that it does more harm to people than good. Of course I agree that everyone should be held accountable for wrongdoings and sometimes it’s even fair to stop promoting/supporting an artist and boycott their work. The problem, however, is that the public doesn't hold themselves accountable to the same standards as they do with artists. I get that celebrities are role models to others but people shouldn't expect them to be perfect.
But what bothers me the most is that whenever a celebrity is exposed as a bully, everyone jumps on the hate bandwagon and sends the artist death threats and disgusting hate messages. Cyber Bullying a bully isn’t okay either and I am simply tired of this hypocritical pattern.
Agreed 100%. The weird thing is celebrities themselves never covet being role models. The public make assumptions by itself and then punish or reward by itself🤷♀
The cancelling members really some hypocrites . Agree , what about the damage caused when the alleged individual is proven innocent. Anybody from the cancelling side come forward and apologize?
the thing with cancel culture isn’t that they want to hold you accountable (holding people accountable is good, don’t get me wrong), they want to see that celebrity or influencer stop existing. because why is it that members of ‘cancel culture’ still bring up a celebrity’s wrong doing even after he/she has apologized? what more do you want from them?
@@hmm4553 I totally agree.. second chances and forgiveness don't exist for those people, even though most of us have made similar mistakes
I think Cancel Culture can be either good or a bad thing but for these cases it is bad ..
Thanks for the info! I also noticed that sometimes ppl online cancels others too quickly and lightly, so hearing abt it in Korea was interesting to me. ^_^
Netizens are the prime reason I’ll never actively participate in fan culture for Korean content. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the content outside of the fandoms because they scare the living shit outta me. lol
The fact that the woman that ruined Seon Ho's life is not in jail for blatantly LYING on him is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable! He should be able to sue her for defamation. And Soojin also should never have been fired from G-Idle
The cancel culture is bullying and the cancel culture needs to stop
i love jia and i’m glad she’s back posting! and it’s always interesting to watch your videos and learn more about how south korean society approaches certain issues
All counties have terrible fans, but netizens are by far the world's worst. Sometimes the things are so minor, but the netizens just destroy them.
no
they are harmless
koreans have to stop being so soft and sensitive
and if you can't handle hate you cannot be celebrity
that it
Loved seeing you take on this topic! As an international k-pop fan I've really sympathized with celebrities because it seems they have so little freedom and that their reputation and livelihood can be taken away so easily.
In the U.S. since there’s less of a moral obligation to cancel certain celebrities I think a lot of people have gotten passes they didn’t deserve. It’s why the #MeToo movement had so much momentum. If someone doesn’t face repercussions immediately they never learn from their actions and victimize even more people. I don’t agree with how celebrities in South Korea are treated in situations where it’s only speculation, but I sort of envy how easily someone is removed from a position of power when they’re found to be an abuser etc. But then I wonder who are the celebrities that are given a pass when information isn’t made public.
Great topic Sienna. I think it’s interesting that Jennie and Irene are close. I didn’t know that; i always felt like the both had a rbf thing about them but I didn’t think that about Jennie as she seemed nice despite her rbf.
Thank you for pointing out the cultural aspects of cancel culture in Korea. I think people are mostly jealous because some issues are just so small and fixable. Jia was a clear example of that; finding something small to pick on because someone is more beautiful, successful and seemingly happier than the average person.
this video is so good wow. i think you found your niche! we love the informative content!
Korea has cancel culture too? OMG 😳 This whole planet needs to grow up
Cancel culture in Korean is way more intense
Toxic people live all over the world so it makes sense to hear it outside western countries
@@hisookey136 yeah from what i remember i think its more than just death threats
@@hisookey136 🤔Seriously?

Mhm that’s why naver (a Korean social media website) removed the comment section and is about to remove (or did remove) the angry face reaction bc of how it’s harming people (mainly celebrities)
this is a common culture throughout asia, not just korea
I continued to support him despite the allegations because it was very one-sided. I am just glad his friends, colleagues and dispatch went to dig and defend him because he was too kind to expose the lie that would ruin his ex. I always like to hear both sides to a story and if things are heavily one-sided one must question the validity of it.
You look so pretty with this look, I love your hair 😍 total slay ✨
Thank you so much!! ❤️
I first saw Jia on Single's Inferno. To preface this, I had no idea why all the guys were falling all over each other for her when she seemed to be the least interesting person on the show when all she did was act aloof. There was a gorgeous neurosurgeon in-training there too and a girl who owns her own gym and does jiu jitsu for crying out loud while the other girls seemed a lot more down to earth.
That said, I heard about the "big news" of her wearing fake products or whatever and that just seemed so overblown and fueled by haters. The amount of airtime it got was ridiculous. I have no respect for the guys on the show who then immediately dropped her like a radioactive potato and unfollowed her on social media when they were kissing the ground she walked on the week before.
Japan does this too and I never understood why people care so much when celebrities do what regular people can do normally.
I think it’s pretty obvious why all the guys feel for her. South Korea is a place where money, status and looks are everything and hold too much power. The guys saw Jia and ran after her because let’s be real, they were gold diggers and social climbers. She looked hella expensive and refined, they smelled the money and besides she is stunning after all. When that guy she picked in the end unfollowed her immediately after the controversy arose just confirms this. They did the other girls dirty in the show by leaving Jia for last when meeting the participants, everyone was stunned by her appearance.
Celebrities are put on unrealistic expectations and standards and must keep up with them, that’s why. They must have this perfect put together fabricated image otherwise they get dumped if they look human, it’s a mad concept 🤷🏼♀️
@@M-ia no
if this girl did not react at all nothing would happened
but no koreans are so weak its crazy
they cant handle any criticism and have these national victim mentality its crazy
am going to be honest if you cant handle hate
dont be celebrity
Hate spreads faster than Love. Why? Social media has brought on so much good and so much negativity in people.
As long as a celebrity does not hurt another person, I am fine with them. Their personal lives, is their business.
finally i found an indept about the cancel culture in Korea. I did read on google that there is a comparison between 2 actors or actress and its really sad
I think there are celebrities (be it idols, stars or influencers) who should be called out for bad behavior/ actions but not necessarily cancelled. The problem with this cancel culture paired with social media is it becomes an online mob, that ends up in bullying whether that person is guilty or innocent.
Hey Sienna, its nice to have found you and your channel. Im Canadian (Bangladeshi origin) but well pretty much Canadian with the old school mentality. So naturally I gravitated towards the K wave, the good of the culture your society is exporting. Honestly I am big fan of K content, Im 40 and a Twice fan so yea that kind of sums it up. Just saying Im a fan and I like the nice shows, the slow burn love portrayed in the dramas and the lack of explicit content.
It’s interesting to know of what happens in Korea behind the glamor- your info on your channel are very interesting, informative and well explained.
So thanks for the hard work and keep sharing.
I will likely have questions - but cant think right now. Just wanted to say thanks. If you’re ever visiting Ottawa, Timmies (remember?) on me.
I think Jia, have well deserved their criticism.
The World Intellectual Property Organization It has released various studies indicating economic damage in billions of dollars not only for companies but also for small micro and medium-sized companies. Selling, buying and using counterfeit products is a horrible practice, it is as if you were illegally dealing drugs
I agree-especially since she’s an influencer. no one wants to be knowingly lied to.
Well that has been discussed multiple times but I can’t stress this enough, it’s basically adoring someone, putting them on a pedestal while feeding their egos to the fullest, obsessing over them and as soon as possible they get brutally pushed outta the pedestal by minor or stupid reasons, sometimes just because. It’s always happening, especially with newer celebrities and actors like Doja Cat when she lost weight, Sydney Sweeney when she had a mental breakdown bc someone called her ugly completely out of pocket (like???), Billie Ellish (everyone loved her but suddenly hated her and called her songs cringy while cancelling her), Charli D’Amelio, Song Jia, etc. Every one of them were loved and then teared apart. Idolising culture is so toxic
Unfortunately, this largely boils down to bullying and the bullies are usually very weak mentally, so they take it out on any target they can find. The Internet has allowed these bullies to flourish and given these weak people a sense of power they never had before. I suspect most of them are hypocrites whose morality is worse than the people they attack.
Rising sun = nazi flag
In contrast to all the income they create for the country, what Kcelebrities go through seems extremely creepy to me. Cancel culture is just one of the many injustices they meet. I was so upset when I heard what B.I. had to go through. He was basically the backbone of that band and what? "He allegedly tried to buy pot"? I was like are you people serious? It is extremely absurd in western countries I think. Celebrities should be able to choose how to live their own lives, as long as they don't promote their lifestyle as "the one to go with". And they are most certainly eligible for privacy. The ones who must be cancelled and criminally dealt with are those who leak private conversations and matters.
This is kind of strange because in all the reality and variety shows/ youtube vids I've seen from S.Korea, majority of the younger generation seem OBSESSED with designer clothing. There are even idol songs criticising this "greed" for richer things and how it was difficult to fit in with others if you weren't of a higher social standing. Ironically, I've also come across a lot of Koreans wearing fake designer clothing, especially rookie idols. I've even seen videos of shopping districts FILLED with fake designer clothing. I don't understand why a non-celebrity can do it and live as they want but a celebrity can't? What does her wearing fake designer things have to do with her wanting to open up her own shop? A MAJORITY of the population doesn't have the financial comfort to buy designer wear, not to mention, if you're smart with your budget, you'd know it isn't a feasible investment. This is like all the white birds looking at an equally white bird and calling it black. All this REEKS of jealousy and misplaced self-rightousness.
no
the problem is in korean celebrities
I just dont get how a peron who is a celebrity can be so soft and sensitive
if you cannot handle hate dont be celebrity
thats it
and another think they all have these installed victim mentality
they love to think that they are victims
@@allenk6373 you sound jealous. If you think you can throw shit at a person just because they're rich, then why don't you try becoming a celeb and see just how difficult it is. It's so easy to insult someone while typing on a keyboard. Try to learn some basic human empathy.
@@allenk6373 idk maybe all we can do in this world is be nice.
Soojin 💔
She didn't deserve all the hate and getting cancelled over unverified rumors.
I feel like what I'm seeing is it's ok to do bad things when people don't see or can't say anything then you're a perfect and respectful person. But if someone catches you and is brave enough to say something then everyone wants to attack you. There's a lot of double standards and hypocrisy in this culture.
Personally, I just stop following people when I see they treat others badly. I don't get in on the mob mentality, I only consider the facts released and whether or not I personally care about these things enough to stop supporting someone.
This is a topic I really wanted to hear about from a Korean perspective on Korea's cancel culture.
This is not the Korean perspective on Korea. But this is her perspective which is most Koreans don't agree with.
Don't know how i got here and don't watch Kdramas, but that first case ...idk man, it's very possible the guy is guilty. Just because other actors (who are working for the same company probably) defended him doesn't mean anything. These celebrities have massive PR machines behind their backs.
It’s the ex-girlfriend’s friends who defended him not the actors in the same agency.
I feel bad for the actress from Its OK to not be OK. the backlash was disproportionate to her Alleged behavior.
Kim Sun Ho is an excellent actor, and appears to be a cool guy. I think his ex-girlfriend needs psychiatric help. This guy donated his time to charities, and actually visits children’s hospitals. Dang, Koreans can be rough!
Irene is in the trash too? Do you actually believe she treated the people who worked for her bad? Irene is sweet whenever I’ve seen her perform.
Frisia was lucky to get an opportunity. She was discovered online…so she’s wearing knock-off clothes - Wow ! Let’s take her designs and copy them. I don’t care why she wears knockoffs,it’s that she hurts the actual manufacturers.
You are making us think about cancel culture. Sienna, get out of my head. (AHAHA) 😍💕😍
And we have boycott culture. Previously it wasn't so effective but nowadays it is. While it is different from korean cancell culture because boycott of a certain celebrity or their films or songs happen because they have given a statement that is politically wrong and hurt sentiments of the people in real time. While in Korea people can be cancelled ona rumor. Here celebrities are forgiven their character flaws and public gives them a chance but sometimes celebrities go out of the way to disrespect a particular community that's when the boycott trend starts.
Korea is a bit harsh for celebrities because even small actions are taken out of context and seen as a character flaw and they are cancelled. That's extreme because an entertainers character doesn't affect the public while a politicians affect greatly.
I think what y’all did to AOA Jimin. Kim Garam an Gidle Soojin was shady lol no one’s perfect. People are hypocrites.
Do Knets REALLY need to know every single aspect of celebrities personal lives...like seriously?! Lol!🤣💀💀
SINCE KPOP AND KDRAMA BECOME GLOBAL. its not just KNETZ. its KPOPSTAN IN GENERAL THROW HATE MAKE ISSUE AND ACCUSATION
What made the Irene scandal so bad was that people were WAITING for Irene to get into one cause people already projected their hate onto her for any reason they could imagine, so when that stylist came out with the allegations people jumped on JUST for the sake of bandwagon hate (which isn’t her first time accusing an idol of something and if it was an issue why not be professional & tell SM instead of running to the internet?). The stylist had done this to idols before allegedly* and have ruined many idols reputations due to her allegations. Irene included. People already hated Irene cause of pettiness & jealousy so when that happened they just took the scandal and ran. They didn’t stop to think about what the stylist saying not making sense they just ran to bully Irene cause they thought that was enough to do so.
I love Ji-a she’s so beautiful
Blackmail must be a growth industry in Korea. Don't Koreans have anything better to do?
I'm new to your channel. I love your videos! Will watch them all, so interesting have a good day anyone
Great video thanks for the insight of what’s going on in Korea. It’s so interesting to see how a society is controlled and manipulated with these stars. And in turn the stars are manipulated and controlled in fear of the public finding something out about them. Western society is very much the same but I can see Korea is worse. When will the world wake up and stop being blind to real issues in the world instead of paying attention to a star’s private life
Great video as always Sienna! I wonder if there is actual evidence of kids choosing not to bully due to celebrity cancellations. I've never been a fan of the idea of canceling someone due to their behavior as a child. It feels like something that should be dealt with between parents not in the court of public opinion. Someone at 10 years old is a totally different person compared to 24. I'm generally ok with adult bad behavior having some consequences since, well, you're an adult. You should know better. At the same time though, the punishment should fit the crime and people should be sure it actually happened before they start going off. I'll never understand going after FreeZia and her family for occasionally using fake goods. How will I go on if her bag isn't truly Chanel?!
Ultimately, people should just try to pay more attention to their own lives.
Awesome stuff
Bullying allegations against Soojin seem so fake to me.
It's like society really wanted her to be a villainess just because she's a pretty girl
celebrities are the least probelm, when it comes to shitty behaviour look no further than the majority of people who try to climb the cooperate ladder
Hi Sienna ♥ cancel culture needs to be CANCELLED!
Dude, the opposite of this is a society where the ruling class and upper ranks of society can't be criticized at all and those who break the rules face severe punishment. Almost like North Korea. It still amazes me how the North and South Korea are like total opposites in several aspects. I prefer a society where the upper class are held to very high standards because it's their job to be high-level humans in exchange of their privileges.
I will have to disagree with cancelling celebrities who used to be bully deterring younger kids from becoming bullies. No matter where you go there will always be this one individual who mistreats you and bully you. Cancelling celebrities because they used to be bully is not going to make bullying rate in Korea to go down. The best thing to do in that situation is to forgive those who wronged you and move on. Only then all the pain and trauma lifts away from you. Trust me I used to live there and got bullied very severely.
Also, to answer your question. I feel like a celebrity who did not deserve to get cancelled would be Soojin from (G) idle. The whole thing was basically just a witch hunt. Sisters who accused her had no proof and they were just allegations. When Seo Shin Ae actress claimed that she used to be bullied by her she carefully crafted her words to make Soojin look like a villain in public eye. Despite no proof to back up her claims people just started to turn against Soojin because Shin Ae was more famous than Soojin and had more influence. Not to mention there were a lot of unverified rumours that were going around social media at the time as well.
Many people just rode this hate bandwagon and everything snowballed out of control. Her dream and career was cut short because of this. I want this injustice to be reversed. I want same people who tarnished her reputation and image restore it back. I want Soojin to be reinstated back to G-idle.
Sometimes what one perceives as bullying isn’t really what the other person intended. I hate it when everyone jumps on a bandwagon without hearing out two sides of a story and just wants to go with the narrative that makes them feel good, more sensational or morally high.
Love these educational/informative videos, thank you so much!
I don't know, I'm agreeing that many people are just ready and waiting to hate someone for tiny reasons. especially popular people.
but maybe because I'm from Korea? I think western cultures are too generous about bad behavior.
I don't understand how people can separate the person and their product lol
Seungri
Just hit the reset button
The biggest cancelled people for their private life is Hong Sang Soo and Kim Min Hee.
you'll be surprised what my country, Indonesia is like in terms of bad scandals. seriously the worse. not like intense but worse.
TBH the case that really discusted me was Seo Soojin from G-IDLE
Basically Soojin was my least favorite in the Group since all the Girls are Hyper talented But she is the Only one That is not up to My taste in Looks,yet everyone was always claiming She is the Best looking Maybe only beaten by Miyeon.
On top of that her Sluggish rarely youthful behavior wasnt really interesting to me in a crackhead energy group like G-IDLE.
Yet As for her talent she always amazed me.
And she fully belongs there. Her Skills as a dancer ,actress are unmatched even by other members.
As for Bully accusation, I don't even care if they are true or false.
And I even propagate if she is found guilty in a Fair trial, she should be forced to pay reparations and treatment of any psychological damages the victim is suffering from. In the harshest way possible. As well as publically apologize as a influencer.
However Her career is not a consequence of her Bullying others into submission but Hard work, talent and conforming to expectations in a very hardcore industry.
Canceling Her life for something she did AS A CHILD. Where she CAN NOT BE HELD responsible by LAW of ANY SOVEREIGN country that has any reason and dignity.
Idols already dedicate ANY chance of becoming ANYTHING else for that slight hope of becoming an artist. Since they waste all the time of their lives to practice 24/7. Its not a cancelation of a celebrity life, it's literally a death sentence. She needs to move to a different country to have a life. And that not even including the term Good in front of Life.
And before some smartass comments ,remember How You the Underage kid did EVERYTHING right and never hurt others passively or actively. Then you may proceed to search for my Twitter. (which I don't have because I Have IQ exceeding binary numbers)
Reading through comments and posts, I have discovered How Eager people are:
1. To grab the chance of Holding power to decide the fate of someone who actually achieved something more than them. Taking it out on others for the fact they have No control over their own life and the Things Chebol and government do to them. We can't have shit, so we will take away their shit too...
We have a saying in My country: Hope neighbor's cow dies. (you don't have anything from it, but at least the neighbor lost something)
2. Leaping at the chance to destroy a Group that doesn't conform to their standard /and or competes and regularly defeats their own favorite group. This is the Time G-IDLE is at its absolute Peak, wiping the floor with every Award show Korea can Host. Not to mention, It is Supported Harder by Foreign Fans than Korean ones.
3. Clinging to anything to achieve xenophobic satisfaction about something that makes them uncomfortable. Because how dare them be different. And successful at the same time. I spent my Life conforming to standards and still have Nothing...
That was the moment I really wanted to Hurl by observing a culture, or better said lack there of.
In the case of Bully like AOA where 2 Legal ADULTS are stepping out of bound 100% yeah. They are Legally obligated to respect each others' integrity, so yeah. 19+ in Korea means the LAW recognizes them as Old enough to Maturely make decisions and bear consequences of those decisions.
13 year old Nah m8 GTFO.
That should have been stopped Right there and then. You have NO right to cancel someone's Hard earned life Just because Your Group cant win an award, and there's people that Love what you don't deem favorable.
I see Now G-IDLE lost some massive weight and conform to K looks way more, but I also see Foreign fans of them Less interested than ever.
It's like Parents when the Kid says :I'm going to war, and you can stop me.
You still love them for what they are your kids, you will still wait for them,worry and tend to them after they suffer... But there's that hidden creeping feeling of you knowing they will take a gun an shoot people dead for stupid Propaganda...
Although I agree with you Sienna that Showing consequences is a positive thing, this is 90% damaging and 10% positive. Nothing good can be taught to kids from it. But Vengeful Mob justice.
Decision to enact a Beheading needs to be Justified and backed up by Positive outcome.
This is just Interpretation, its the Neo-feminist way : Please all look at this ONE point we wanna show you and FORGET all the other things that are happening because of it. Just focus on the Good thing, please. You are not allowed to see the bad stuff.
That doesnt work Human brain will passively imprint and reproduce such behavior in its entirety. Unless you reason with it...
Cancel culture can get positive results if its used right, unfortunately lately this type of mass group activity results in ruining many people's lives. people are so petty and overly sensitive, worst off is that they go on hearsay without doing their own research on a topic before they begin boycotting someone.
Just here to say "Nancy did nothing wrong" Which is hillarious because is true but at the same time makes her look like an evil dictator.
Oh, no!!! Hahaha. I thought it was only affecting America.
Hold up girl we was just at 9k now you at 13k you coming up!!
If you're not in a group, you're a bad person, I find that dumb. I'm surprised Korea is not about actual evidence, and proof before discrimination. I find Asia to be way too judgemental, unforgiving, and mind set towards not actually gaining facts. Beleiving all rumors, or not hearing all sides of the story before judging is bad... As for Cancel Culture in America, I think Amber Heard is the biggest, and recent one... Iv'e been watching a lot of Korean & Japanese tv shows on Netflix lately, alway's saddens me when I see someone cancelled. And I noticed drug use can get a person cancelled in Asia, even to the point of being completely taken out of a movie, or video game project... I don't mean to point fingers only at Asia, some of America's biggest issue's are the insane amount of homeless & drug addicts, along with mentally unstable ppl firing off guns. Crime is big in America
America is chaos. No one can top children shooting other children in school with real gun.
Question: why don’t Korean women date Black men??? Maybe that could be a topic for your next video.
would you do a youtube and explain the abortion laws and what really happens.
It's pretty much the same situation in the States these days also. Since the "#Me too" movement, all a woman has to do is accuse an actor or celebrity of something & the poor guy has his show cancelled before he's even had a trial or had a chance to defend himself.
If what the woman wrote about 김성호 untrue, in Korea could he sue her for slander?
Overall great video.
I agree with Cancel Culture being toxic. People should stop behaving as if they were PERFECT human beings, and obviously stop expecting that from other people, no matter the class or social status.
In reality, my personal opinion is that a lot of people just jump so quick on the cancel wagon because of that thrilling moment of seeing somebody successful fall. However, humans are not born perfect and will never be. We make mistakes, and then we decide to learn or not from them. IMO that is what makes the difference. Was it an isolated incident? Was it repeated? How much time ago did it take place? Was it a criminal offense? Was there a proper trial? What was the result? People should stop to ask themselves these questions (As you very well mentioned). Of course the psychological layers behind this phenomenon are countless, but I don't want to write the Bible here LMAO
I just disagree with your statement about cancel culture in the west not existing. Also, in my humble opinion Brad Pitt is a bad example here because he has literally been one of the hottest men on earth (and his beauty was very "standard" or for "all publics"), so he got the "Handsome pass" a lot (sad but true), also there is the fact that his roles have always been kinda like variations of the bad playboy (so people weren't as shocked as if his roles were the kind guy, people tend to mix reality and fiction). There have been precedents of this even with people that aren't celebrities. For example, a USA Serial Killer (Ted Bundy) who killed 30 women but a lot of women were thirsting for him because he was attractive, to the point of just going to the trial to thirst for him.
A lot of people like Johnny Depp got cancelled and were even removed from movies (and others got away with very shady stuff aswell, not trying to switch the discourse here). My point here is that cancel culture is not necessarily inexistent here, but rather different. I feel like people just cancel what's "Cancellable" here, as opposed to Koreans that just don't care.
Also, Mainstream Media plays a lot of part in this. They cover only the cases that are beneficial to their agendas.
Anyways, Keep up the good work!
Don't take it seriously. This girl has a lot of bias, and sees things from a weird point of view. I don't think this kind of video help you to understand Korean society at all.
Sienna likes the RUclips money she makes negatives videos like this cuz she knows it sells.
Better than a lot of youtubers and media talking about only positive things in Korea
Rest abeg
So telling the truth is negative
This girl only focuses on negative things of Korea.
There are so many RUclipsr who speak about the good things. A lot of the topics that she brings to light are VERY important to understand Korea. Many have rosy glasses.
She speaks the truth.
U can still like a place and point out it’s issues
