Luna: I want to become a Kpop idol, but I don't think I will be accepted in South Korea because I'm not Asian.
Crew: What if you got an offer to become a trainee?
Luna: I would be very happy, but I think I have to give it a lot of thought first. Because I don't think people in South Korea like it to see a foreigner who's not Asian become an idol. I don't know what to do.
The other UHSN girls relate to Luna's concern
Maria: There are opinions from foreigners who like Kpop that you shouldn't become a Kpop idol if you are not Asian.
The girls debate whether they should let go of their dream of becoming a Kpop idol.
-I hope Kpop will become huge that it will just be a part of the music genre...
-30 years ago, teenagers in Korea used to look at TLC and wish they could be them and now it's the total opposite. It's very shocking for me.
-We already have a lot of foreigners in the industry, after all...
-We're fine as long as you come from a country that doesn't have any controversies. Also if you respect our country and speak Korean well, your race wouldn't be a problem for us.
-So far, I still prefer Korean becoming Kpop idols...
-I think I've seen half-Koreans become idols but I have never seen a fully white person become a Kpop idol...
-It's not that we don't accept you because of your race, we just simply think it wouldn't create a good a harmonious group if there's a foreignerㅜㅜ
-I don't care about your race, however, you have to sing in Korean. That's all you have to do. That's what I call Kpop.
-Blackpink's Lisa looks very different from us, Korean, but isn't she very successful? As long as they're charming, signed under a good company, have great songs, and talented, I don't think there's anything impossible...
-As long as you have the talent and skills, I don't really care about your race and will still like you.
-However, if you speak Korean fluently and embrace the culture, I think it's possible and there's nothing you can't do. That's how I feel when I see Maria on Mr. Trot. It wouldn't be easy, but it's not entirely impossible.
-If you understand the culture of idols in Korea, I think you'll have great potential. It may be difficult, considering the culture difference their country may experience, though.
-It upsets me to see that there are still a lot of people who don't welcome foreigners to become Kpop idols.
