When K-pop Fandom Harms Communities of Color15 Sep 202101:14:19
In late 2020, “K-pop fans” were praised as a socially conscious monolithic community who used fancams to flood watchdog apps, hijack racist hashtags, and to buy-out Trump rally tickets. Often k-pop movements were externally seen as moving in the name of BLM, but, if you actually spoke with black k-pop fans, you’d see that not all of these gestures helped black k-pop fans. K-pop fans of color have, in actuality, endured years of anti-blackness from fellow k-pop fans, and we still see it today. From HYBE’s lack of action around its app which allows for racist language, image, and violent messaging, to the ongoing doxxing that we see happening on Twitter on fans of color who simply ask their favorite idols to do better, fandom has unfortunately been a force of harm for communities of color. So, to better understand the issues and explore what we could be doing next, we’ve assembled a panel of speakers.

This episode is a recording of a #kpopchat conversation we held on Twitter Spaces. Every week on Twitter Spaces, we hold #kpopchat discussions on interesting things happening in and around the k-pop community.

A Discussion on BTS, Capitalism, & McDonalds18 May 202100:59:51
While many point to the #BTSMeal as one of the best corporate partnerships in modern history, it arrives at an interesting time: McDonalds workers are going on strike for better wages, and some ARMYs have noted McDonalds' less-than-stellar corporate social responsibility. So, for responsibly-consuming ARMYs or #kpop fans, how should they support the BTS McDonalds collaboration?

We discuss with Amr - a labor rights organizer, Virginia Duan, and the gals of the BTS podcast, "Girlz with Fun."

Artificial Love: K-pop, AI, and Aespa’s Concept10 Feb 202100:58:44
When we first heard about the concept of an AI Kpop group, we were both intrigued and ambivalent. On the surface, Aespa looks and sounds like something created out of service to an incel male fantasy - hips and busts sizes that aren’t realistic with human proportions. But on the other hand, it could open the door for a lot of unprecedented creative expression. Aespa, a virtual group created by SM Entertainment, is the first girl group to push a virtual AI concept within Kpop, and it’s created quite a bit of a polarizing response among western Kpop fans. As a western Kpop fan who follows both AI and Kpop, Peter dug deeper to discover how we should feel and respond to this group. Should we embrace this virtual concept, or should we be concerned? We spoke to a few experts to provide some clues.
