Actually, K-pop proves that manufactured people are superior to natural, average people. Oh,
I forgot to mention this is from allkpop.com, so that should tell you what we're getting into.
Hi, welcome to me talking about whatever I want. Today, I'm going to be talking about
Dr. Phil versus K-pop Twitter. So before this, I would just like to give a little comment shout
out from yesterday's video. This is actually kind of like a double comment shout out. This person,
One Dog is Sky said, "Are we going to just sit here and act like he hasn't changed his
profile picture for this channel five times in the past two days?" And this person, Name,
says, "Sometimes you got to try some things out before you find the aesthetic." Exactly.
All jokes aside though, I would like to thank you again for the support. This second channel
is doing so well. So we have ourselves a doozy here. Fans upset after Dr. Phil calls BTS's
Jimin manufactured. Now I got so many people asking me to do this after I mentioned it in
passing yesterday. It's almost like y'all want me to get in trouble, right? It's like you want
K-pop Twitter to be mad at me, right? Because you know I'm not going to sugar coat my opinion.
First of all, I'm not a fan of BTS and I've listened to them, so ultimately I came to
the conclusion that BTS is just not for me. However, I don't hate K-pop. I actually really,
really like Blackpink. I like Twice. There's a lot of solo artists and songs from solo artists that I
think are really good, like Palai and She Is and So-So. So I'm not a K-pop hater. I'm just not a
K-pop stan. That being said, if this video gets any amount of views at all from K-pop Twitter,
I know they're still going to be trashing me relentlessly. So go ahead, go right ahead.
Also, this is my third video about music in a row. I'm not sure why that's happening. This is
not supposed to be a music channel, but it is me talking about whatever I want. And I want to talk
about Dr. Phil. Fans upset after Dr. Phil calls BTS's Jimin manufactured. Dr. Phil's currently
under some hot water for some comments he made regarding BTS's Jimin. All right. So the context
that this article basically goes into depth is he was talking to this guy named Oli London. Now, if
you've never heard of Oli London, all you really need to know is that this man has spent over
$100,000 on plastic surgery so he can transform himself into looking like his celebrity crush,
K-pop boy band member Park Ji-min. If you want to spend like a lifetime's worth of money on plastic
surgery, I literally feel like that's on you. You're going to have to deal with the positives
and negatives of that. However, he's not Korean. This is some British dude getting surgery to kind
of make himself look more Korean. It's like he had his eye shape changed. He did a lot. And
that's why I'm not going to go and say any further details about it. So as unqualified as Dr. Phil is
to diagnose or help anybody, because he obviously doesn't have people's best interests at heart,
he still tried to give this man some good advice. But that good advice wound up being by hot water
he landed himself in. So he said this, You feel like you need to be somebody
else. And you have to know that the somebody else that you're wanting to
be is not really who that person appears to be. That's a manufactured, marketed image.
So like, where's the lie? How is that wrong, mean, inaccurate? That's just true. However,
K-pop Twitter went off. The person who posted that said, "Since OP deleted the tweet,
here's Dr. Phil calling Jimin manufactured and marketed image. It was seriously uncalled for in
this feeding into stereotypes about K-pop idols." First of all, I don't understand how that's
uncalled for when I feel like this Oli London guy needs to probably realize that you're devoting
your whole life into transforming yourself into this other person. But deep down, you don't
really know who that person is. It's like if I wanted to turn myself into Jimin, for example.
Besides the obvious reasons that that would not be okay, I don't know what Jimin's like. He posts
the little Instagram stories or... They don't use Instagram, do they? He posts little social media
stories and there's behind the scenes and all that stuff, but that's still a camera in front of him.
I think the only way you could transform yourself into Jimin is if you knew Jimin as a friend,
and then you would understand what it meant to become him. Which, by the way,
if you do actually know him personally, and then you spend $100,000 in surgery to look like him.
But no, that didn't stop K-pop Twitter, because literally why would it? It says
fans were upset after Dr. Phil's statement. This tweet says, "Hey, Dr. Phil, last time I checked,
it wasn't Jimin who splurged $150,000 to look like somewhat of an entirely different race.
He's just a young man who is passionate about his career and all natural." All caps, all natural.
"You just blamed Jimin, who is the victim of all these blizzard antics." Jojo's Blizzard Adventure.
I think the thing that K-pop Twitter is failing to realize here is dr. Phil's observations, for once,
were more than skin deep. He's not talking about Jimin's face per se. He's talking about
Jimin as a concept, as a brand, as entertainer. That's what Oli London has paid all this money
to look like. He hasn't paid money to look like Jimin in his most natural state. And claiming
that Jimin is a victim, I do agree with that. I think Oli London is kind of bordering on being
a stalker. Jimin's definitely a victim, but I didn't like how did Dr. Phil blame
him exactly by calling him manufactured. Okay, let's see. This one. This one has to
be satire. This has to be ironic. It says, "I can't believe Dr. Phil really just said Jimin
is a manufactured, marketed image. He's basically saying that Jimin's image is created as per the
requirements of being an idol. Not his real self." No, you've got to be trolling. But
the username says, "Man Like Jimin" and they're @jimultis. So I don't think this is a troll. Okay,
I have nothing to say. You beat me, you beat the commentary YouTuber. He has no comment.
This next person says, "How I'm going to be if Dr. Phil doesn't apologize to Jimin."
Yes, physical violence. Always the best way of getting your point across. I mean,
I know this is a joke, but it's kind of a weird joke to make. I don't know. And the thing is this,
all this, you're not doing that to Dr. Phil. You're doing that to the K-pop community.
You're doing that to your reputation because outside people, they're just going to group
you all together. They're just going to think all K-pop stans are like this. Don't worry,
k-pop stands watching this. I know most of you are not crazy, or maybe you are and I'm about
to find out once this video goes up, but that's a fate I'm willing to accept for these views.
Someone said, "Instead of dragging that freak, who wants to physically look like Jimin,
Dr. Phil dragged Jimin instead. I'm really tired of BTS members getting dragged for crap that
other people do." Let's not even talk about the fact that he didn't drag Jimin. There's no Jimin
hate from Dr. Phil's statement. Manufactured, marketed image is just true. Unfortunately,
even YouTubers are manufactured, marketed images. Now I would like to think that what I put forward
on camera is a pretty decent reflection of how I am as a person, but there's still no way for me to
be my most authentic self while having in the back of my mind that a lot of people are going to be
watching me. I just got way too real for a second. "Manufactured, marketed image. WTF, Dr. Phil?
Jimin has grown up, but has never gotten surgery. Is he really going to sit there and stereotype
Jimin like that? I can't believe this." Okay, so I think I'm starting to piece some things
together. The stereotype that that other person was talking about is plastic surgery, I guess.
So the thing is though, let's say Jimin has no plastic surgery. Again,
I really have no idea whether he does or he doesn't. That's still a manufactured,
marketed image. And you know how I can prove this? One time, I was on Twitter and I saw that BTS was
trending. And I looked to see why. I always think one of them is dead whenever that happens. But no,
apparently Jimin dyed his hair a certain color. And then he was trending on Twitter because so
many people were talking about it. If that does not tell you that he's a manufactured,
marketed image, I don't know what's... This man's hair is manufactured and marketed. So
even if there's no plastic surgery and he's just fresh faced, he's still doing the makeup.
He's still doing the hair. He's still dressing a certain way, presenting himself a certain way,
posing a certain way for people to talk about it. So, yes, basically those are getting like hundreds
and hundreds of likes. One of them even had a couple of 1000 likes. And I was just... Now,
again, I'm not going to sit here and blame all K-pop stans, because first of all, I don't believe
in putting all people of any sort of group under the same lens. I know for a fact that not all
K-pop fans are like this, and not to say that there's anything necessarily wrong with being
a super fan or a stan of any K-pop group, but at the point where we're no longer making room for
reality, I feel like things are getting a little bit weird. But thankfully, like I said, it wasn't
all K-pop fans. There were some comments on the article we just went through from K-pop stans. Oh,
I forgot to mention this is from allkpop.com, so that should tell you what we're getting into.
Someone said, "This is a true statement. Sorry, army. Many celebrities, including K-pop idols and
Jimin, along with all of BTS, have a heavily manufactured look. I mean, if they didn't,
it would be kind of weird. The reason that BTS is so much larger than life is because
so much immaculate detail is paid to hair, makeup, clothes. If that wasn't the case,
BTS might still have some of their charm, but they wouldn't have that larger than life aspect where
everything they do is perfect, 24-seven." The thing too about this is I feel like people are
kind of making it black and white. So if Jimin is manufactured, then he can't look good when that's
just not true. I can't believe I'm sitting on this channel, having a discussion about
whether or not Jimin's looking good. It's okay to admit that something's manufactured and marketed,
and to admit that you enjoy that aspect of it. Let's see, this person said, "I'm a Jimin stan,
but what Dr. Phil said is true. It doesn't only apply to Jimin, but to all K-pop idols.
This person said, "I'm a fan and seeing Jimin makes me happy, but I know my limits. These
are just people, too, with flaws, just that they're famous. And of course they have to
take care of the image because fans expect them to be..." How old is this... I'm really curious,
because I feel like age has to play into this, at least in some respects. I mean, not all teenagers
are going to be crazy and not all adults are going to be smart, but I truly feel like when
everyone changes their picture to just an image of Jimin's face and everyone's username just says,
"BTS Stan," it gets really hard to separate the longtime K-pop fans from the people who just found
it last week and they're rabidly defensive of it. This last comment I'm going to look at says,
"Where's the lie, though? All boy/girl groups are manufactured from their music to their image,
including BTS." So yeah, I never thought I would be getting on my channel and defending
Dr... Let's not even call this defending Dr. Phil, because no, I'm just going to call this
defending what he said. Dr. Phil wasn't attacking Jimin, some of y'all are just a little protective
of this man who will never know it, though I'm sure he's appreciative. If you want to get mad
at somebody for dragging Jimin, get mad at me. I don't like BTS. Honestly, their music has never
grabbed me for some reason. And if push came to shove and you showed me a picture of them,
I could not pick Jimin out of the crowd. I'm sorry. But, of course, if you're a
longtime viewer, I can still say that while also acknowledging that there's nothing wrong
with enjoying BTS or liking their music. And as always, I'm glad that people get something out
of it. It's just not for me, man. I sat through the Idol premiere. I just didn't get it. It was
bright colors and trumpets and flashiness, but their dancing was on point, I'll give them that.
By the way, I have this little bonus comment that I just, I had to share. This person said,
"Suddenly everyone is surprised to find out that K-pop Idols are indeed manufactured to appeal to
the public. Isn't that basically the dark side of K-pop that we've been talking about for ages?" But
then this person jumps in and says, "How is that the dark side of K-pop? Actually K-pop
proves that manufactured people are superior to natural, average people. I see this very
positive." First of all, you have negative 1000 points on this website. Manufactured people are
superior to natural average people. You know what, who cares?
