Koreans are baffled by international fans' comments on Lee Hyori's 'Ten Minutes' video on YouTube

 

Nowadays, all K-pop idols are white.

She's so beautiful! Natural and tanned skin.

Everyone was tanned back then. She is so charming.

Some people got tanned, but members like Sung Yuri and Lee Jin from the same group had fair skin.

So they were brown, and as years passed, they got whiter and whiter...

In Korea, from the 90s to the 2000s, having tanned skin was a trend. But from 2005 onwards, many articles and documentaries about the dangers of UV rays and skin cancer were published...

It was an era when K-pop wasn’t obsessed with whitewashing idols.

Natural beauty!

Those were the days when skin whitening wasn't a big deal.

They weren't so desperate to be white back then.

I love her tanned skin. It's refreshing to see stars who aren't pale like ghosts tbh.

Are these foreigners crazy? They're obsessed with skin color. Just like Black people have a variety of skin tones, Koreans also have both fair and dark-skinned people, you crazy people.

White people are descendants of Europeans, Black people are descendants of Africans. You are Asianㅋㅋㅋ You are neither White nor Black.

You criticize skin whitening but not tanning?

-Are these fools seriously comparing South Asia and Northeast Asia?

-Didn’t Lee Hyori get tanning during her 10 Minutes era?

-As people who have orange skin because they're obsessed with tanning, they talk way too much..

-Back then, it was trendy for female singers to tan for sexy concepts. Also, not all White people are pale, and Korea isn’t the only Asian country with fair-skinned people, so why are they making a fuss?

-There seems to be a group of foreigners who are jealous of Koreans for having fair skin.

-They created racial stereotypes themselves. Sigh. Also, why are White people called White?~~ They’re actually pink.

-Lee Hyori tanned, you dumbasses.

-They've probably never even been to Korea.

-Even if you look at SISTAR, the members have various skin tones. What are they talking about?

-Natural beauty? What nonsense. How is tanning natural?

-It's hilariousㅋㅋㅋ My family is naturally fairer than you guys. We don’t even do anything, and we’re pale, you red-skinned people.

-If you start bashing White and Black people here, it’d be unfair. Most of the ones saying this nonsense are Southeast Asians who love K-pop.....

-They always say Korean fans are obsessed with white skin, but in reality, Korean fans like fair-skinned idols for being fair and darker-skinned idols for being darker. It’s them who are obsessed.

-Do they have an obsession with East Asians not being allowed to have fair skin? Isn't that a prejudice?

-Isn’t fair skin considered elegant in Southeast Asia? Why are they taking it out on foreign artists?
