Is That NYT Podcast about K-pop Any Good?
by K-Culture with Jae-Ha Kim
Take-Aways:
The suffer of foreigner syndrome among particularly the Asian diaspora.
Tumblr media
The existence of "K-pop sound" in defining what is K-pop. It is not just Korean audience, Korean artists/companies or the use of Korean language in their musics' lyrics that constitutes K-pop, it is also particularly a kind of K-sounds. The artistry so much producers and creatives behind the K-pop scene effortfully try to fabricate, innovate and add onto the existing creativity upon.
Tumblr media
A take on why big K-pop acts like BTS earnestly want to produce in the mainstream American pop music, which is stated to lose all its K-pop characteristics. If the American pop music is already a saturated market where so much mature products are made so popular to be consumed world wide. Here is the key, it is the genre's "popularity." Its popularity definitely appeals the group on the business side to draw to its global fanbase. But isn't it true that if something can gain success on the market, it has been inherently proved it is quality-guaranteed and worth to be learned/copied from or reproduce?
Tumblr media
An academic take on the whole thing.
I was like "Huh, this is interesting" to read. It is like a bulb lights up in my head. I first time hear the view that the phenomenon of the usage of English as the first option in international communication showcases the west's colonialism history. This reminds me some anecdotes I have when chatting with some white people. A guy who likes me smirks when he heard me saying my english is better than most of people who come from my country. It is as if he was thinking "nah, your english is not good." I was not sure what to react. Now I know it is arrogance. I would know how to respond clearly.

Yeah I think we should boycott music by HYBE guys. I don't see how you can reason giving money to this company considering its ties to zionism and Israel

KARD Deep Dive: 'Ring The Alarm': K-pop Goes Co-ed
KARD is unique for k-pop, being a co-ed group (composed of both men and women) was formed in 2017 with four members who each represent a playing card: Jiwoo (the color Joker), J.Seph (the Ace), BM (the King), and Somin (the Black Joker). Occasionally they also have featured artists called “hidden cards”, such as KARA’s Youngji.
Here are my credentials: I honestly don’t know much about Kard, but I just finished a review on KARA, and in checking out their work as solo artists, I heard about Younji’s feature here. Also, I know a little about BM from his hosting of the podcast “Get Real” with Peniel, Junny, and Ashley, and I find him pretty funny, so I decided, why not take a quick break before doing another long review?

[Interview] Tiffany Takeda opens up on High Low podcast
Tumblr media
Fresh from her AVN performance, Tiffany Takeda broke her silence by sitting down for an exclusive interview with Emily Ratakowski's High Low podcast.
On her upbringing in France and becoming a K-pop idol:
"I grew up in Marseille and my mother would always put me in beauty pageants and dance competitions. She was really strict and wanted me to be perfect in every way. She was a singer when she was younger and dreamed of going to Eurovision but she fell pregnant with me right before signing a record deal. My dad is Christian and wouldn't let her get an abortion, so she lost the deal and then blamed me for it. She always resented my existence, but I think she also viewed me as a way to live out her dreams vicariously. My goal was to transfer to a performing arts school in New York and pursue professional ballet, but my dad is Korean and introduced my mom to K-pop and she thought I'd have more chance making it as an idol because I'm so pretty, so she sent me off to Seoul to train and then I got signed pretty quickly after that."
On being exploited in K-pop:
"The entire K-pop industry is built on exploitation and I think my group experienced the worst of it. Our agency was small so we had to do crazy things to stand out. One of the first ad campaigns I got was for Marc Jacobs footwear and I had to pose naked in nothing but the brand's shoes. My bandmate, who was raised in America, did a nude PETA endorsement. It was crazy. We were looked at more as foreign artists rather than Korean, so we got marketed like Britney and Christina did. They wanted us to be really sexy and provocative all the time. You couldn't get away with it now because the industry has changed so much and artists have more rights. Even though we hated it, it helped us become really successful, but also caused a lot of backlash that still exists to this day. No matter how much we achieve we still get hate comments for everything we do in Korea. At one point we even started working in Japan and China just to get away from it all."
On her horrifying experience with Playboy:
"My bandmate Suzy posed for Playboy first and it was a huge hit, so they wanted me to do it next. Because I had a retro image at the time they came up with a plan for me to crossover into the US market by recreating a classic Marilyn Monroe pictorial. I agreed, but I was adamant that I'd be fully clothed and we'd keep it tasteful and classy. I went to Hugh Hefner's mansion to shoot it with my old manager, Trina and as soon as I got there Hef and Trina were trying to convince me to show more skin but I refused. We had a huge fight about it and I threatened to pull the plug on the entire shoot. They told me to go wait in one of the bedrooms to cool off, and said that once I calmed down we could do the shoot how I wanted. They gave me some green tea to relax me, and after that everything is a blur. I can barely remember the shoot, but I know some bad things happened. Anyway, when the photos came out I was completely topless - I was so embarrassed. To make it even worse, I had to promote the issue in Las Vegas and on the Howard Stern show. I smiled through the pain and pretended that I was proud of it, but I wasn't."
Tumblr media
Why she returned to Playboy as a creator and director:
"For me, the decision to partner with Playboy was about taking my power back. Hef is dead now, god rest his soul, and they have new owners now. Once they approached me to replace Cardi B and explained how empowering their new creator platform is, I was sold. For the first time in my career I was able to monetize myself on my own terms with full control. There's nobody to direct me or pressure me or exploit me. I've even put out music through my Playboy page and I was able to experiment with new sounds and lyrics that I can't do in Asia. As far as my career goes this has opened up so many new doors, but on an emotional level I've been able to heal past traumas."
On finding financial freedom:
"I can't say how much I've made on Playboy but I will say it's the most lucrative thing that I've ever done. Me and my group were taken advantage of financially throughout our entire careers, you wouldn't believe how bad it's been. Almost every label we've been a part of has ripped us off, including the last label we were with, P Nation. We ran our own independent agency for a while but the overhead was so expensive that we barely broke even. Even before we debuted we had to do crazy things for money as trainees. I also lost millions on a lingerie line I had after my business partner scammed me. This is all very common for the idol industry, but we had it worse because of our old managers. There was actually an Italian girl that used to be in our group, but after she was fired she ended up on Skid Row. Jessica recently saw her back in Seoul and said she was begging for money and wanted to do a comeback tour, it was really sad. We wanted to help her out but we've had to enforce boundaries because she was kicked out for bullying... Anyway, thanks to Playboy I've paid off all my debts and started to invest in property, and Jessica has a big partnership with Amazon. We also sold the rights to our entire catalogue to Hybe, so financially we've all never been better."
Her next career move:
"Right now I'm just settling into my new life in Hollywood. I'm putting myself first which I've never done before. I have a lot of offers on the table but I have no idea what I want to do. Maybe I'll launch a Vegas show, write a book, I don't know. I have a lot of stories to share..."
