hi welcome to my totally legit kpop news show my name is angelina, obviously, your kpop
journalist for today! got my kpop phd from the one and only yg's dungeon, i'm glad to
be out! for now... and on sundays we get to talk about all of the kpop news from throughout
the week so today we're going to be talking about k-pop fans getting involved into politics,
some updates from mnet's new show kingdom and some fishy fishy ongoing surrounding it
tik-tok seemingly stealing k-pop choreography, so if you're interested in one of these subjects
maybe just a few of these subjects i've separated this video into super fancy segments so you
can scroll through, start wherever you want, will it mess with my watch time?
i mean yeah but you can make it up to me by liking commenting and sharing this video with

okay so let us first discuss mnet's new show kingdom which actually has a little bit of
controversy surrounding it so for those who don't know mnet had a show called queendom
which is kind of a survival based show but then they decided to do road to kingdom which
would eventually lead to kingdom and it's actually with the announcement of kingdom
that there are some rumors going around so why are people generally skeptical of kingdom
well first of all mnet kind of has a reputation of rigging past shows we all know of the produce
scandals so there's that it also seems that
idols companies would be responsible for production
costs there's also the issue of rumors going around that mnet is actually forcing groups
to join their show and when fans caught wind of this rumor of course they didn't want their
faves to join the show and were quite concerned for the inevitable idols that would end up
joining the show and it seems with all of this surrounding it mnet is having a little
bit of difficulty actually casting groups for the show during the mnet asian music awards
they essentially announced that the boys who won road to kingdom along with eighties and
straight kids would be three of the groups participating in kingdom so they already had
some of the lineup ready including their mc's which would be tvxq however in the news we're
seeing groups that are currently rejecting offers to be on the show such as monsta x
who were in talks to be part of it with reports of btob rejecting the offer as well though
cube entertainment has yet to confirm this and we also have sf9 as well as ikon who are
still potential groups that could join the show which seems a little bit odd to some
people especially since yg and mnet have had beef for years so when people were saying
that mnet is kind of forcing groups to be on the show is it because they're using their
power to do so you know a lot of people are wondering if it's something like this if someone
rejects going onto kingdom are they then going to be penalized by not being able to perform
their music on m countdown, so along with the rumors that already exist that mnet is
seemingly coercing people to be on their show, a lot of people are noticing these things
and speculating about it among other things are also people worried that the show is going
to pit people against each other i mean it's a survival show you know i'm of the mindset
that no matter what reality tv you're watching you always have to question everything everything
is exaggerated they can put words where the words weren't originally to make it sound
like something else, these shows are not exempt from quote unquote evil editing to get people
interested anyways it's all editing, nothing is real! end of story but definitely let me
know what you think in the comments down below are you more concerned for the idols who are
going to appear on the show, do you find it a bit odd that they're having some difficulty
casting people for the show or are you overall just plain excited let me know in the comments
down below! now let's move on to a little segment that i like to call kpop shenanigans
which is basically fun little things that have happened in kpop this week so the first
thing of course i wanted to highlight is something that people have been tagging me in non-stop
and that is this little 2NE1 reunion for minzy's 28th birthday so to celebrate her birthday
not only did she release a cover of reflection but she also met up with her fellow 2NE1 members
at cl's studio we also had oneness who made their comeback with no diggity momo from twice
appeared in yukaDD's music video everglow did a cover of kara's mister and Itzy released
the english version of not shy with zepato, zepito?
i've realized i've never pronounced that out loud before.
so they re-recorded all of their title tracks in english and since i don't think it's something
i will be talking about in my end of month review, which i'm currently working on, let's
talk about it now! so honestly i thought not shy worked really well i really appreciated
the effort they put in to make the english sounds match the original korean sound that
was really interesting so you know the flow of the song more or less stayed pretty much
the same you know we have
like it just sounds similar so i appreciated that they tried to preserve that as for zepeto
i find it a little bit odd, i mean at first i found it a little bit odd but the more i
watch it the more i think it's actually really cute these avatars just look like they're
drawn to destruction and i'm also drawn to destruction i mean i like cockatoos duh, so
i did find it really creepy at first but the more i watched it the more i was like this
is kind of cute as for the rest of the songs i did think they were nice too i think wanabe
is probably my second favorite but anyways let me know in the comments down below what
you thought of it as for the meme of the week i wanted to turn this into a little bit of
a deep dive into k-pop meme culture because i find, you know, usually every week i find
some type of thing that's kind of trending or something that's very prominent within
the k-pop meme community so i thought we could do that and if there may be one week there
isn't something to really dive into i have a bunch of ateez memes saved up do not worry!
but i wanted to know if you guys had any name suggestions for this i want like something
funny something that will represent this section for k-pop memes so leave your suggestions
down in the comments below but today for this week i really wanted to take a look into the
impeach biden hashtag on twitter which was ever so wonderfully taken over by kpop fans
so for those who don't remember during the black lives matter protests people of course
tried trending very problematic hashtags to which k-pop fans would infiltrate with fan
cams with pictures with k-pop memes and they essentially did this to drown out very problematic
discourse which did not go unnoticed by locals who actually were praising k-pop fans among
other things they also seemingly managed to take down a police app that aimed to identify
and arrest protesters by sending a bunch of fan cams so fast forward to now with biden's
inauguration it seems there are some people who are very unhappy with this and have taken
to social media with the hashtags #/impeachbiden and #impeachbidennow and what do you know
kpop fans have infiltrated that as well so when you actually go to these hashtags you
inevitably see twice fan cams, blackpink dancing over trump's suspended twitter account, that's
my personal favorite so again i would love to know what you think about all of this in
the comments down below and now let us end off with kpop fans being mad that the locals
on tik tok are stealing k-pop choreographies and most notably now red velvet's russian
roulette choreography which is actually blown up on tik-tok but it seems that within this
trend of doing k-pop choreographies that people on tik-tok are taking the choreography only
while dancing to it on another song and not crediting the original groups for example
this one girl did twice's choreography to a seemingly random unrelated song and wrote
tag dance credit please which made people incredibly angry because especially if you're
taking the choreography and putting it over a different song you can't even go to the
original sound and see who's saying it or who did it do you know what i mean
so i saw plenty of people do adding this screen recording this commenting on this now the
twice choreography wasn't necessarily a trend but this girl did get a lot of hate for doing
this which goes without saying you really should not be sending any of these people
any hate but i think the most notable thing going on right now is red velvet's russian
roulette choreography which i have seen everyone do addison ray bella poarch, addison did put
red velvet in the caption, bella didn't initially but then she eventually did but a lot of kpop
fans are angry about this for a multitude of reasons so let's look at some of the arguments,
also vivi from loona ended up here somehow
so the biggest argument people have is that it needs to be credited so if you dance it
over a different song it's fine as long as you're crediting them as long as k-pop is
getting the recognition that it deserves while
some people are mad because it seems a quote-unquote
locals make fun of people for liking k-pop and [ __ ] on k-pop and then they go around
and use their choreographies for major trends so with all of that i was curious as to what
do you think you know i find crediting on tick-tock can be a little bit of an issue
especially since you really can't edit your caption after the fact and then if you comment
the credit afterwards it kind of gets lost within the comments anyways but also brings
up the question do you credit the group themselves or do you credit the person who choreographed
that dance?
so do you think it's a big deal do you think it's been blown out of proportion let me know
