It's so funny how everyone is so whitewished when ALL the s3xy icons are / were tan

 

All it took Kwon Yuri was having black hair and a tan to become one of THE s3xy it girls for 2 years

 

Lee Hyori was tan in all of her iconic eras

 

Sistar, THEE hitmakers of the 2nd gen, were tan

 

 

it's not a k-pop issue btw. It's just the Korean beauty standard

You are right, Kpop just either accelerated the issue or mirrors it perfectly

 

The lightest member of a 2nd gen gg/bg would be average light in current day gg/bg :skull:

 

Basically now if you ain’t light you have little to no chance of succeeding or being praised for beauty 

 

Seolhyun (& Hyeri) were the last tanned it girls

sexy idols died with the rise of the common make-up industry from 2010 onwards. The make-up industry capitalized off the collective Asian old-money beauty standard of being pale. As a result, exactly three shades of foundation range exist in SK: milky, snow, and fair dew ☠️ This resulted in even the tannest sexy idols looking like ghouls. Here's a pic of my resident hot girl Kwon Yuri who'm I mentioned as a tanned icon previously, circa 2013

And it also doesn't help that despite there being tanned icons, the TRULY legendary visuals have all been pale as f*ck. On top of that, being tan was always part of your identity, and that wasn't always a positive thing.

 

And while idols were fine being tan, being an idol also wasn't seen as something you should aspire to be, unlike being an actor/actress. Actresses have been pale for a long time now

I understand why people are dragging her for this post, cause it is indeed problematic of her to feed on and empower a post that directly throws hate and literally curses at her other YG labelmates or any other idol for that matter :redface:

It’s not problematic if you read it in a sarcastic tone

 

As in “oh yay, as if i’d give a **** you like me. It’s HURRICANE SOMI b!tchh!!”

I actually love this color on her  :loki:  She looks great

 

 

When will people understand that having yellow duck hair is not blonde and the second pic can easily be a dark ashe blonde? Not because the hair is darker than pee blonde the color is not blonde! This clearly is between a 6/7. She looks fantastic

What you're saying also makes sense, however the OP was literally excited that she commented, which feeds on the hate though, and people are now also using her post to throw even more hate at the groups mentioned in the tweet.
