Crazy how we black fans get disrespected every day in the K-pop industry every day

a member having braids from the roots done, calling the other member lil taco, julie (in the past said a slur) telling them to come to her birthday party dressed as rappers, them “talking black” in the livestream….this is the worst i’ve seen 😭

“Promise you won’t leave the fandom after watching it.” my jaw is on the floor.

All I did was sigh…

#

Why can’t they do a hip hop theme without the imitating? It’s really not that hard I promise.

#

Belle and Julie should’ve definitely known better. Especially Julie after her nword scandal during her yg days was revealed.

#

Exactly. As a black K-pop stand myself I just find it exhausting to have to constantly explain to people why this is not appropriate.

It’s not the 1990s, 2000s etc anymore. I can forgive the ignorance back then but it’s 2025. The excuses needs to end.

#

I can even forgive minors who act like this back then even today because some them love be edgy or their learning a language and stuff. Still want to educate them is fine. But as an adult you should DEFINITELY know better. Like come on.

#

Both Bell and Julie are from the U.S. they know better. 😦

#

Like this is so embarrassing

Stuff like this is expected but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing.

They love the culture but not the people make it make sense

What's even more messed up is Belle saying not to unstan after the bday

Right

#

Me personally, I am not black so I have no offence to my race but like I feel bad for black Kissies

As a black person who is a kissies the most important thing is to stay educated and hold them accountable.

im getting flashbacks what’s in the air!?

At their big of age and the year we’re in!?

#

I

#

Absolutely not and they most definitely knew better

#

not my place to be offended but I'm extremely disappointed nonetheless. they know it's wrong and I doubt they'll smarten up.

The fact that in the midst of the n word situation for blackpink and jullie just shows these idols do not care about their black fans

Everyone loves our culture but hates us. Like make it make sense. 🤨🤨.

When we do things it's "Ghetto Rachet too loud" And everything else in the book but when they do it even to their detrement it's "Just hair, so inventive, so cool"

weird how S2 apologised and not the members themselves

#

So you won’t even acknowledge the specific race you offended? Okay.

#

Giving very “sorry you feel that way”.

glacial herald
#

Mind you, Julie has even before apologised for saying the slur and now she kinda double down'd on that... so much for being more cautious and meticulous :/

pulsar kite
onyx flame
#

The fact that it was the company and not the shows they didn’t even care enough to pretend to apologize

#

And then not saying what race you offended AND WHY we’re offended

pulsar kite
#

Exactly. I will be unstaring kiss of life and putting my money somewhere else.

“The true purpose of the content was to celebrate hip hop culture where much of the musical inspiration for kiss of life comes from.”

I was gonna stay quiet in this thread and only react using
emojis because what else do you want me to say that hasn’t already been said but no.

Wow “La Taco Belle” was such a profound tribute to latin and hip hop culture and I as a black fan will accept the apology that was made by their company even though the members themselves should also issue an apology and Julie’s n word apology means nothing anymore. /sarc

#

And another thing, i’m not gonna pull the “it’s 2025 they should do better” card because the seasons will change, the weather will change, and the dates on the calendar will change, but ignorance will always stay the same UNLESS YOU ACT ON CORRECTING IT.

onyx flame
#

For me I can’t accept this apology until they acknowledge why the behaviors are offensive and I need an apology from the members themselves and especially belle and julie

#

And as an Afrolatino fan “la taco belle”is so unbelievably infuriating

I’m so dumb

#

I think the real nail in the coffin was when one of the members asked the fans not to leave them because of the stream they were gonna do

#

Aka they knew it was wrong or would get negative backlash but still did it

The company released a apology letter

Like bye

#

Honestly, I'm more than disappointed

#

And there's zero excuses to what they did

#

They literally knew that it was wrong

#

And did it anyway

#

Outside of all the idols who've said the n word, I don't think I've ever something this bad before

#

Like... Who thought it was a good idea to cosplay black people. knowing they would get backlash too?

#

Down the drain they go

#

Especially when we all know they knew what they were doing

right before this happened I considered getting into them but honestly what's the point anymore 😪

#

To think they were one of the few ggs I actually stanned

Didn't they lose 200.000 followers because of this?

another group down the drain

basically ruined their careers bc they don't know how to act

Because now they will be under scrutiny for everything

They released a statement themselves.

#

Just empty words to me.

deep solar
#

They should had educated themselves way sooner, because if they did, this wouldn't had happened

pulsar kite
#

Why did you not come out with this apology sooner this is a lot better than the company apology statement. 💀💀 but I still side eye them.

tiny viper
#

My honest reaction:

#

the part that gets me is the "can only promise to do better", didn't ya'll say one of them already got caught saying the n slur 🤨

tiny viper

#

right so like, when does the getting better start

maiden thistle
# tiny viper They released a statement themselves.

I wanted them to apologize instead of through the one that their company gave, but I still don’t think I can accept this apology either because after Julie’s situation, this was ultimately avoidable.

I was a casual listener of the group and even considered stanning them should they announce their cb, but I personally just can’t do that at this time.

tiny viper

#

i regarded them so highly before

#

i loved their music

#

but then they just went down the trashcan

delicate python
#

not once did they directly address the communities they offended

#

I'm even more disappointed

tiny viper

#

Kpop artists love to treat black people as a taboo subject yet still want to be like them so badly. it's awful and extremely disheartening and I'll never understand

#

it's not hard to just not be a bad person

tiny viper
#

I sent it earlier. :3

sharp seal
#

Oh I didn’t see sorry

pulsar kite

#

Even if it was an apology video, would feel the same way

#

If you really want to apologize, at least don't make it part of your schedule

#

I hope they realize how seriously they hurt their fans and the community, and learn from that

Someone on Twitter graded their letter

#

I am not black so I don't get a say in this matter because it didn't affect me but I am severely disappointed in these girls. I thought we got passed dressing up as another race but I guess not

They knew damn well the live was offensive and still went ahead with it like

#

This is like staring at someone while you pick up an chair, hit them, and then say “oh I didn’t see you there 🥺🥺”

Oh so now you wanna actually address it when your comeback is coming up. This should’ve been done way before. And where are the others members (especially you Belle), why is it only Julie. At the end of the day for me what they did was not a mistake. Especially you Julie when you said you would learn the first time after the n word incident. I won’t pay attention to them anymore this whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth.

#

At least they addressed the actual communities they hurt. But still

#

The whole group was offensive, have them all apologize

#

And not 2 months later 💀

#

"we wanted to wait for the members birthdays"

#

Like, what?

#

They weren't even in the video

#

So what was the point of that
