Not only in K pop but I was watching my fav J pop group Perfume on TV show/interview and then 3 black guys pop out of no where. But I really like the Chinese they actually have foreigners come on the show (they talk in Chinese.)

As someone who has actually ...Ah, Telisha Shaw... <br /><br />As someone who has actually talked to Telisha Shaw, and as the author of <a href="http://www.dbsknights.net/2010/12/exclusive-dbsknights-interviews-jyj.html" rel="nofollow">the article</a> that introduced Telisha to the Cassies and K-pop fans, I feel I should comment.<br /><br />eccentricyoruba was right on one count: it was the international fans that got nasty with Telisha. However it had nothing to do with the fans being "elitist" or some such nonsense. It was simply because they knew of Telisha and were able to interact with her. As far as I know, most Korean fans remain completely unaware of the "Telisha scandal".<br /><br />People started getting mad at Telisha when she reacted so enthusiastically to her new fans and followers. I think cultural differences came into play here. Telisha was just being her playful, cheeky self but some fans saw as conceited. <br /><br />It didn't start as a race thing, but I think it became one. The things some people said... It was just unbelievable how nasty they got. Telisha was this talented, sexy (black) woman in Junsu's life and they just couldn't handle it.MrCKDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16330759526152878708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573366063725606536.post-69531394839479575392012-05-02T04:13:39.439-07:002012-05-02T04:13:39.439-07:00umm regarding Telisha XD

I think that international fans have an image of Korea/Kpop as this homogenous place or industry, and it's comforting for them, despite the fact that kpop emulates and borrows from pop culture that is not Korean or homogenous, pop culture that is made by black people, in fact (R&B and hip hop).ladidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600178152171904500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573366063725606536.post-6710645336335067682012-02-08T19:40:54.635-08:002012-02-08T19:40:54.635-08:00really? interesting. there's been some talk on...really? interesting. there's been some talk on Seoulbeats about racism in k-pop, so I figured this was just another facet of it. It's partly comforting and disturbing that it's the non-Korean fans that have such an issue with Telisu (I love that name btw - so cute!)mellowyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156270979302155423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573366063725606536.post-69219022317822915512012-02-08T17:01:30.654-08:002012-02-08T17:01:30.654-08:00There was all sorts of fan hate when JYJ went on t...<em>There was all sorts of fan hate when JYJ went on their first world tour and Yoochun was getting down with their dancer Telisha Shaw, and also when she and Junsu appeared to be close</em><br /><br />Apparently a lot of this fan backlash was coming from international K-pop fans in the USA. It's always the foreign fans that enjoy being elitist, kind of like with the Black gyaru and lolita issue on twitter.cosmicyorubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913395879445418408noreply@blogger.com
