What koreans think of K-pop idols doing full english/japanese songs?

I'm glad you posted this. I've been presented with an opportunity as well. There's so much red tape, & without someone who is fluent in the business laws, it's tricky.

I saw a report on those guys! They are AMAZING. Extremely handsome, & well dressed. I love how they inspired the elders/older generation to be more confident and still be fly at any age. 🥰

I would like to know what their views are on masculinity? There have been studies Asian males are viewed as the least attractive. The lines of femininity and masculinity have been intersecting more over the years.

My wife is transgender, and we are planning to visit Korea next spring. I’m worried about how she will be treated. She even asked me if I thought she would have to buy male clothes to travel with, which would be incredibly hard for her. I’d love a video on how trans people are treated, so I know how to prepare.

I want to know who is considered the most influential idol in many ways, not all in music. (I also mean besides BTS!!)

What opinions do South Koreans have regarding immigration due to the aging population and decreasing birth rate? Do their opinions vary for skilled labor immigration versus unskilled labor? Also, I know there has been some concern expressed about real estate speculation by foreigners, but it seems to be more so related to Chinese citizens. Do South Koreans have concerns about other nationalities and real estate speculation? For example, as an American citizen, I’m kind of interested in business investment options in South Korea which in turn would mean eventually wanting to purchase a home there after successful business operation. Would foreign business ventures in the local economy be perceived as negative by South Koreans?

Saw an article about the so-called "senior BTS" and it made me curious how Koreans feel about older people being trendy and getting into social media and/or k-pop. Here's an excerpt: "While the 6 gentlemen are the OG’s of this dapper ahjussi trend, they have banded together to create a brand for themselves called, The New Grey. Their brand is targeted towards the older generation of South Korea, calling all ajummas and ajuhssis to be the coolest version of themselves, regardless of their age." Here in the US, we often get two reactions, depending on your age. Younger people tend to be annoyed by such things, and older people tend to find them inspiring.

How do Korean's really feel about tattoos in today's world and does it really bother them if they see idol's on TV with visible tattoos (like BTS's Jungkook)?

I love Hannah's question above about LGBTQ + identity. On a separate note, what about questions regarding favourite non-Korean singers/rappers or movies? Oh, also, what Korean artists (singer, rapper, group) do they recommend foreigners listen to? For example, maybe some less-known artists.

lol interesting, T.O.P, Jonghyun and Juwon are the dinosaur faces

Also with the recent housing situation and small number of job opportunities in Korea, how do college people feel about their situation of “starting “ their lives? Do they have debt like most Americans when they graduate from college?
Melissa Bacon
What is interesting to me is how blood types play into match matching to even job interviews. How does the youth feel about this and how do they use it in their daily lives?

I would love to see LGBTQ+ topics, like how they would feel if an idol/actor came out as any LGBTQ+ identity~ or if their friend came out to them~ Maybe it's still too early for that but sometimes it's also surprising how much people's opinions have already changed and opened.

Separately, I’d like your opinion on why Rap Monster the mixed tape isn’t on ITunes?
Laura
Rachel Kim just did a video on her channel about the different animal face types that Koreans use to categorize face shapes. She used different celebrities as examples, like Jeni from BLACKPINK being the cat type face. I’d like to know how you and other Koreans would categorize all the BTS boys, the rest of BLACKPINK, and the MamaMoo girls. As well as having an entire video explaining all the animal types. Like what is the dinosaur type face?

People often talk about how BTS had been discriminated against for being from a formerly small agency. Which really good groups are now being discriminated because of the same reason? Any examples they can give of the groups and how they are discriminated against? Is Hybe perpetuating this discrimination now that it is huge?
Tenzin Pema
What they think of hybe labels? Do they know which all artist comes under them? or If more labels will come under the hybe umbrella in future ?? ( If you guys haven't already done it then)
Eileen Francisco
Best kpop actors? Female and male?
Sarah Padbury
Questions around COVID: What’s their opinion of how the government is handling COVID vaccine? Will they get the vaccine? (Is it even an option to NOT get it?) What do they think of quarantine rules (inbound flights w/foreigners)? How important is it to open Korea back up for tourism? Others…
Kriss
What is their opinion on NCT Hollywood
DKDKTV
lol i doubt anybody would have the knowledge on it in the streets, but I think itd be interesting to maybe ask related industry ppl
DKDKTV
we actually did that already lol

What do Koreans think of companies doing NFT merchandise. Recently A.C.E dropped the first kpop NFT merchandise collaboration but there was a huge commotion about it in the international community. Are they aware of what it is and what's going on? https://amp.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/bands/article/3130687/boy-band-c-e-drop-first-k-pop-nft-merchandise-collaboration

What do you think of all English kpop? (e.g. Dynamite, Butter)
