The racism-laced history behind blackface makes it more than just a theatrical element and it should be treated like the act of racism that it is. Big Bang member G-Dragon the highest paid idol posted photos of him in. Mamamoo isnt even the first K-Pop group or artist to don blackface in 2012 Big Bangs G-Dragon who have been called the biggest band in Asia posted a horrific photo that many believed was a reference to Trayvon Martin an unarmed black teen who was gunned down by a vigilante neighborhood watchdog.
Dont expect them to know about it.
Big Bang member G-Dragon the highest paid idol posted photos of him in. I recall being sneered at for wearing flip flops and no make up as is common practice back home. Blackface in Kpop is not any more of an epidemic in Kpop than it is in the country that produced it. The members played Jenga and it all seemed very cute and fun until it wasnt.
