dreamcatcher did a lot of iconic things during their 10 years but covering bang bang bang and changing the lyrics to "the dignity of women, the pretense of men" and "women go high, men get low" is still one of the best. they ate that
I'd like to share my thoughts on the recent discussion about Handong one last time.
As a Chinese person who lives within Chinese-speaking online communities, I have indeed seen discussions about this doll being controversial. However, not everyone has come across those news or paid attention to them. In any case, these differences come down to individual experiences and awareness. What has bothered me is seeing some people assume that Chinese people as a whole share this kind of "malice".
I feel uncomfortable with that misunderstanding as well, so I tried to provide some context (posts on Chinese SNS that raised concerns or criticism about the circulation of such dolls). But that doesn't mean I think Handong did it intentionally. Objectively speaking, it is difficult for many Chinese people to fully relate to racial issues surrounding skin color and even less so to be racists because of them.
At the same time, I am disappointed by this incident because it suggests that neither she nor her team pays much attention to social issues. Perhaps they focus only on singing, dancing, and their careers. In my view, that falls short of the standard a truly excellent artist should have.
I am an individual, a Somnia, and also a member of the society I live in. These identities can coexist. I hope everyone can follow their own conscience and look at the situation objectively, without turning it into something bigger than it is or stereotyping entire groups of people (although I know that's almost impossible🙁
the way i expected him to illustrate for someone like red velvet or dreamcatcher or something but he keeps doing covers for the sunshine and rainbow groups is cracking me tf up
It’s so random to me that dreamcatcher of all groups didn’t keep going as a group. from the outside it really did look like they were doing well and had a good company supporting them
