Let's be outraged at Hybe and Pledis for hiring a problematic weirdo to be featured in Dino's video YES. But let's NOT use this as an excuse to once again hate on the concept and the album and say "see this is what happens when they go with the old man concept instead" !!! +
pledis thinks half assed videos are enough because it means he got to do something before he enlisted. i can accept a picheolin album i cannot accept the fact that he’s being surrounded by horrible people
whether or not you’ve agreed with alwaysdinofan on the idea of the rollout for picheolins album i encourage you to read her thread on who these people being featured in his videos are. just because we support dino does not mean we have to turn a blind eye to this
I saw tweets from international Carats saying that they could not trust my explanation regarding the controversy surrounding the guest featured in this Going content. However, the issue here is not the album itself. The problem is that, in order to promote this album, they invited a guest who has a history of disregarding and offending the album's primary consumers: women in their teens to thirties and international fans.
The guest in question is a Korean comedian who is known for playing various characters. The character who appeared in this content is a trot singer persona called “김홍남.” I would encourage you to watch the music video he produced. In that video, women appear half-naked without any meaningful purpose, and they are used purely as sexual objects.
Several years ago, he also became popular in Korea with another character called “다나카.” That character was portrayed as someone who worked at a Japanese host club and spoke broken Korean. This was a stereotypical portrayal, and the character has been the subject of ongoing accusations of racism in Korea for years.
What we are discussing right now is not the concept or planning of the album itself. If a picheolin album is released, then the company and the content production team should do their best to create promotions that make the character appealing to fans. The artist clearly put a great deal of thought into developing the character and gave us a great song.
However, the company and the production team chose to invite a guest who has a history of disrespecting women and foreigners, despite them being the main target audience. Do we really have to support this kind of promotion unconditionally simply because it is connected to the album?
Even if we have disagreed with each other until now, I sincerely ask you to read the Twitter thread I posted. The articles I attached are not community posts or fanbase opinions. They are reports from Korean media outlets discussing the controversies surrounding this comedian and his characters.

이부분이 정말 화나고 속상한 지점임..
지난 11년간 디노 본인이 보여주고자한 모습을 팬들보다 어쩌면 아니 당연히 회사가 더 잘알아야하는 부분 아니었는지? 그런데 냅다 5년동안 뇌절하던 VCR 캐릭터 가져다가 납작하고 게으른 기획으로 내리꽂아버리면서 기회를 날린다는게 너무 화가남.. 심지어 그 캐릭터가 등장하는 콘텐츠마다 피철인만 그대로에 옷만 바뀌었을뿐 다른 멤버 그 어느 누구도 이전 캐릭터 그대로 차용한적도 없음 당연함 애초에 ㅍㅊㅇ도 뇌절까지 할 필요가 없던 캐릭터였으니까
i dont even understand promoting as a character but i definitely don’t understand omitting his name from any promo… do you want him to succeed or not…?
