hello hello! . . . this is . . . riri! welcome to… THE TALK SHOW Welcome to part two of a three part series of The K-pop Industry. First will will be a rlly darker and heavier and part two will be like medium and part 3 will be abt dating, hate and trends in the K-pop industry. THE KPOP INDUSTRY let’s talk abt the whole kpop industry, the racism, cultural appropriation, contract, beauty standards and double standards. In part one we’ll do racism and cultural appropriation, part two will be the contracts and beauty standards and part three will be double standards and trends. Contracts In The K-pop Industry : So I have a rlly large opinion on this and I’m here to share it. It’s kinda like a ‘slave contract’, why do they need a contract??!! It’s like signing ur life away! The company has so many hooks and strings that aren’t even mentioned! And alll these idols sign it, it’s quite illegal! Idols can’t even leave if they do leave the company has a hook that if the idol is leaving they can’t join another company, why? No one knows… ugh I can’t stress enough my disapproval of this, I can’t continue. Beauty Standards in Asia: Let’s talk about the thing that’s the elephant in the room… THE BEAUTIFUL BEAUTY STANDARDS OF THE K-POP INDUSTRY. 1. Fair Skin, this is rooted deep in history, the hierarchy of wealthy people back in the day didn't need to leave the house and stayed indoors and resulting in fair skin, and common workers with darker skin shade. This is still rooted in Asian cultures. 2. Weight, WHY?! Just why, it does not matter whether ur thin or thick! Just becoz u weigh more does not mean ur unhealthy, it’s different for everyone. A thin person can also be heavily underweight, and unhealthy!! Netizens are so harsh on idols! Idols gain, and loose weight so quickly, it’s not at all healthy! And companies cannot be starving their idols! (I’m talking abt u jypapi) starving an idol for seven days on only ICE CUBES! I-C-E C-U-B-E-S!! That is INSANE… You r quite literally doing illegally sh1t, and it’s so not ok! I rlly wish an idol sues their company for this! This is injustice… We shld rlly start raising concern to the companies doing this! 3. Symmetrical Eyebrows, dude what is this garbage!! How is this a beauty standard! Whats wrong with people having unsymmetrical eyebrows, K-pop must be stopped with this stuff!! Each detail in u makes u who u r, beautiful!! 4. Small V-shaped face, why? Have a round face, a square face, I mean look at Jennie!! She drop dead gorg. PERIOD buh-bye! - riri!
