Netizens are discussing the recent debate concerning K-pop girl group NewJeans for their recent single "Bubble Gum". Here's what happened! " Bubble Gum " is the third promotional song released on April 27, 2024, as a pre-release for their second single album "How Sweet" which is due to be released on May 24, 2024. The video for the single released two weeks ago, showed the girls playing board games, being silly in a café and running on the beach. The video creates fun vibes that can be a distraction from the daily grind especially that of Korean work culture . Let's check out the video below: As you can see the video has been a big hit, already reaching over 32 million views globally and the music video has ranked fifth on YouTube's global weekly popular music videos and charts! In particular, the music video of this song is characterized by lyrical visual beauty and natural storytelling, not just performance-oriented. It is more meaningful in that it is not a video that is watched dozens or hundreds of times to imitate the choreography, but a music video that shines with NewJeans' music sensibility itself and can perhaps be said a true reflection of the new Korean society and young society around the world, which has helped it's success! The fact that the music video for "Bubble Gum" contains the pure and harmless charms of the New Jeans members, is what we enjoyed the most about it. The members seen on the screen, look like they were taken with a camcorder, gather in a house that smells like summer, and laugh and talk. The scene of running and dancing freely in white clothes on the blue beach portrays a beautiful scene of youth. Objects and dim visual beauty that remind us of childhood memories such as camcorders, VHS tapes, bubble gum, old fans, and beads have created sophisticated sensibilities beyond retro, and are well received by a wide range of age groups can also bring back nostalgia for many people. We think that this is exactly the reason why "Bubble Gum" has reached headlines and attracted many others, that might not be NewJeans fans! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Dark news hit the internet on June 24 as global K-pop girl group NewJeans was targeted with a death threat ahead of their Japan debut from June 26 to June 27! We cover what happened, how Netizens responded, and discuss why this is happening to K-pop idols all over the industry! Shocking news hit Bunnies (the official fandom name for NewJeans) on June 24, 2024, as a photo of a kitchen knife with the caption "I'm going to give each one a stab when they get off their van," circulated a popular online community forum. The post was titled "I bought this to use at the NewJeans concert." NewJeans is scheduled to appear for their first two-day fan meeting called "Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome" from June 26 - 27 for their Japanese debut. It has been confirmed that the photo had been copied and pasted from an online shopping site selling Japanese kitchen knives. It is still unknown whether the author had any real intent to commit the crime, but regardless of the intent, making the threat constitutes a crime. Bunnies and other K-pop fans reported that the post be taken down and notified NewJeans' agency, ADOR . This isn't the first time! Unfortunately, K-pop idols receive threats all the time. This specific incident that involved NewJeans portrays certain K-pop fans in a negative light. But why does this keep on happening? The phrase "sasaeng" or "sasaeng fan" ( 사생팬) is the South Korean term for "obsessive fan who acts in ways that invade the privacy of K-pop idols, drama actors, or other public figures in the entertainment industry." (Wikipedia) These fans feel the need to "stand out" from other fans by stalking, trying to comment on private chats, or taking photos of idols and other popular entertainment figures. Physical abuse is also a "sasaeng" act as a sasaeng fan reportedly slapped K-pop idol Yoochun of the group JYJ just so they could be remembered! However, we have to say that this type of "anti-fan" behavior is not only secluded to K-pop fans as sports fans and Western artists and actors also receive the same type of threats. Maybe because K-pop is becoming more global that it has gained interest from a global point-of-view that these incidents are becoming more frequent. What are your thoughts? Comment below!

team thinks that this is a super fun and modern way to get ARMY and other BTS fans involved in the hype

Diversity and representation are global issues right now, and many entertainment companies have started to incorporate them into their work. So why is it lacking in K-entertainment? We dissect the cause and how Korea is adapting to this new issue. There are calls for greater diversity in K-pop in terms of race, ethnicity, body type, and gender identity representation. Debates examine the lack of inclusivity within the industry and rightfully so. Overseas in Western music, this has already started to be done, so why is Korea lacking? While K-pop is not seen as progressive in Korea, where it is part of mainstream commercial culture, in places like Europe and the US it remains subcultural. I find this interesting as I would have imagined that it was universally blanketed, however, to be successful you need to be tailored to each market and interest right?! You need to have a certain interest in other cultures and the willingness to put in the time to find information about this culture, looking for translations and ways to access this whole subculture that requires a great deal of media-savviness to reach and remain at the top of your game. Take LGBTQ fans for example, they might feel within a fandom space for Asian pop artists has to do with a perceived lack of aggressive heteronormativity, and therefore some sort of safety which, might be “based on racist stereotyped views.” LGBTQ is not as widely spoken about in Asian culture as opposed to the West, which is why it is lacking in many streams of media especially in conservative Korea. Despite the diverse and global makeup of the fandom, its members are quick to come together when it comes to achieving a collective goal, and that comes from practice. K-pop is evolving That being said, K-pop is evolving and its core, its idols, are becoming more and more diverse as we can see with the first UK K-pop boy band, Dear Alice , Katseye , and JYP's, VCHA . Not only in the realm of music is Korea becoming more accepting but on the screen as well. Some K-pop idols have starred in LGBT dramas ! You can read more about them here ! So I'm not saying that diversity is completely disregarded, maybe just a little slower than your average Western country. So what are your thoughts about South Korea's hesitation to embrace diversity in its entertainment culture? Comment below! #VCHA #DearAlice #KATSEYE #LGBTQ #diversity #equality #reprsentation
