I don't know why you guys don't understand it idol is business and they are products. how company will do if they want to sell more than rival company. to general public, all idols are just same. unique is competitive.

da of course that's what these kind of companies are for, but what i don't understand is why did they think that making a guy look like a girl is a good move to promote the group?
It's unique and particular , other groups didn't do it
I just don't think that it's good for the idol as a person, it must be bad for him to keep up the girly image on screen and then switch off screen, if he do actually switch it off. It's his choice becoming idol.

I didn't say public like this stuffs. unique is for group recognition when you see idols making out on stage and fangirls spazzing over that i can understand why companies are making their idols do that.

i don't get the idea of making a guy look like a girl just to promote a group, why would a straight girl like him it's just weird to me the whole idea. We see all the shit boy groups do on stage from groping to making out to please fangirls and this will forever be a mystery to the idea of a girl a straight girl spazzing over boys looking like girls or boys making out. lol you're getting really close to the equivalent of "well why do some lesbian date girls who look like boys" so you should probably stop while youre ahead. some girls like that sort of thing and are straight i don't really see what's so hard to grasp since they are dudes

da this is the first time i'm seeing this guy but he doesn't look like a girl to me, just a tiny boy.
thats because that was him before debut and his normal style. too lazy to look for photos so i just posted the first two photos that came on search lol Spoiler: click to toggle i don't think there is anything wrong with a guy looking like a girl but i don't see the point in them putting that image onto him when it was never his natural style from his own words. I think that Korea is so weird. da lmao you guys know how things work in japan right? korea is the most normal compared to japanese bizarre shit japan freaks me out with some of their stuff, including guys looking like girls because girls like it. I mean wtf and really, they take this andro thing to a whole new level of creepy

anyone else finds Ambro extremely awkward?
SA as in trying hard I'm sure she must be a nice person, but when I see her in videos I get so much second hand embarrassment
da omg 2x, i like her and all but most of the time those second hand embarrassment
da ugh especially her english rapping. i don't notice as much in korean, but her english rapping is so bad. it bothers me especially in their new album. it never bothered me before, but a good bunch of the songs have her say an english phrase before the breakdown or bridge or something. "what you want this time mr. collector" and "get outta the way please" da I have a huge problem with idols doing english rapping, doesn't matter if their first language is english it always sounds so obnoxious like "HEY LOOK AT TME I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH HOW COOL DAT DUH" it's AWFUL MAKE IT STOP! ugh, makes me wanna throw something actually, I think it's even worse when the person has english as their first language, it sounds even more obnoxious it's the way they pronounce, how they sound, it's so so SO bad koreans might think it's cool to have someone speaking english fluently, but jesus fucking christ, it is bad rapping, believe me
tiffany saying "HERE COMES TROUBLEEEEEEEE" makes me wanna kill myself or just hide amber always sounds bad

question (an ignorant is speaking) but that word has always a negative connotation? it can't have a joke connotation??

Don't know who this guy is (or care to) but i'm moreso  at the fact that he thinks it's ok for him to use the n-word.
op - he's korean rapper. it makes me cringe so bad he is like 33 years old. not that any age is ok to use it but he obviously knows better, he grew up in the us too. smh
question (an ignorant is speaking) but that word has always a negative connotation? it can't have a joke connotation??
he isn't someone who has the right to use that word in any connotation

Spoiler: click to toggle No, it can't. that word has historically been used to demonize black people in the US and as such, is considered a slur; slave owners used it to refer to their slaves because they wouldn't dignify them with an actual name - it's representative of the years of vilification of black people so for someone like that dude to toss it around like a joke is extremely disrespectful, regardless of whether or not they were aware of the connotations associated with that word.
