The K-Pop Appropriation Olympics

I'm very, very tired of the troops. Here is my rant slash vent slash fact check that absolutely no one asked for. Also in this episode, the true definition of the word "anthropological". TW //doxxing, body shaming, death threats, racism, sexism and whatever else you need one for. Catch up with me on Twitter (@kennycabenny). Songs featured: Boomerang (EXO), Imagine (CIX).

It's been a while. In tonight's short episode, I explain why I've been MIA from the tl, attempt to talk about the complexity of grieving as a black k-pop stan in the light of Chadwick Boseman's passing, and why I'm a notorious disconnecter. Catch up with me on Twitter (@kennycabenny) and check out Shanendra's latest podcast episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2f6iEtFmeG79ReJ8cbXXZn?si=G6xZ2PpJSz6lYEqh2wXquw. Song featured: Your Name (SHINee).

In today's episode, I reveal my plan to burn KQ Entertainment to the ground while ranting for what, half an hour? about racist Atinys gaslighting black fans, the Bazaar magazine shoot and KQ's ridiculously good use of black outrage as a publicity tactic. Also, wishing the love of my life, my baby Taemin a happy 27th (28th in Korea) birthday. (Music: MARS, Into the Rhythm - Taemin) (Find me on Twitter @kennycabenny.)

So we back at this - AGAIN. Today I get 100% real about my feelings towards cultural appropriation in k-pop (particularly in the context of black culture), why these "apologies" are little more than lip service, coons and how to plan an Olympics ceremony. Come rant with me on Twitter (@kennycabenny). Songs: Telephone (ft. 10cm) and Just Us 2 by EXO-SC.
