The fact that you equate the nurses’ union criticizing the mv to MRAs dragging Irene for reading a book just shows breathtaking ignorance tbh
NOT ALL KOREANS ARE THE SAME? SOME KOREANS ARE WOMEN AND ALSO NURSES WHO HAVE VALID CONCERNS DUE TO THEIR WORK??? OTHERS ARE CHAUVINIST MRAS WHO SHIT ON ANYTHING FEMINIST???? WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND????
IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONVERSATION MAYBE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND EDUCATE URSELF??????
LITERALLY NURSES ARE SAYING “WE DONT LIKE BEING SEXUALIZED AND WE GOT RID OF THAT OUTFIT FOR A REASON ALSO WE’RE OVERWORKED IN THIS PANDEMIC PLS STOP” AND YG SAID “FAIR POINT SORRY” AND NONE OF Y’ALL CAN SHUT YOUR TRAPS
Thank you for helping the cause for women’s rights in Korea OH WAIT NO AT THIS POINT YOU’RE ACTIVELY HARMING THEM BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SEE BEYOND YOUR OWN CONTEXT AND YOU REFUSE TO LEARN ABOUT THE KOREAN CONTEXT
We too would love to live in a world where we can have fun and dress up with cute sexy outfits WITHOUT perpetuating a very present, toxic masculine culture that sexualizes young women and women’s jobs but right now we don’t feel that we can.
do better jesus christ

First of all: this isn't censorship, there was no government decree that forced YG to do anything. Censorship actually has meaning in Korean history.
Second: IMHO there isn't exactly a set of simple and easy principles we can stick to with things like this, other than "discuss."
That's my personal takeaway from this debate. Nurses themselves have come forward to speak out, as a collective. This is also an ongoing, developing conversation. Perhaps the points will change as the treatment of nurses (and female professionals in other fields) improves.
The fact that this is an ongoing conversation (and will continue to be) is important bc it also relates to why the Blackpink MV was criticized in particular. This isn't the first time idols have worn "sexy nurse" costumes in music videos.

Honestly this just speaks to the different conversation around “sexy” costumes in KR vs the US. KR nurses fought to get rid of the old uniform in the 90s bc it was impractical. The pandemic has also raised the issue of how nurses are treated, esp bc they’re predominantly women.
The healthcare and medicine union also put out a statement on how this impacts nurses working long hours under threat of viral infection, who are also forced to combat a sexualized stereotype.
Male patients in particular feel entitled to call nurses “girl” or “lady” rather than “nurse,” and treat them as low-level service workers rather than medical professionals. Nursing is also the medical profession that is most exposed to sexual assault.

Hey
If you see people on social media use Korean candlelight protests as an example of nonviolent protests, to undermine the BLM protests right now
Tell them to shut the fuck up
The mayor of Seoul went ABOVE AD BEYOND that year to never escalate things with protesters
- there was no curfew
- public transportation changed their schedule to accommodate the protesters
- extra public bathrooms made available to all
- manholes, vents and other potential danger spots checked
What the candlelight protests prove is that if the city government has a clear line of policy of NONVIOLENCE, and they also are able to actually control the police force, then you get nonviolent protests

"Just experienced this. I checked in and I was assigned to the backmost seat. Afterwards I got on the plane, and then the attendant told me to move my seat without any explanation. I didn't know why and I asked thanks to the help of my friend Hoonmaru's translation." 1/3
"The only answer I received was "I told you to move so you must move," and when I asked why again, they asked me "do you want to get off this plane?" My tone was not in refusal, I merely asked why... I was so angry and confused but I was in no position to get off the plane." 2/3
"And also I didn't want to get off. I had to get home. So I moved my seat, and later on I was told the reason was that the backmost seats had no moniters. I felt as though this was something that they could have told me from the beginning." 3/4

To friends who are Dallas Fuel fans, Effect fans - I’m sorry. I’m sorry this landed on your timeline. I’m so sorry you were let down like this. Every time I translate shit like this my follower count goes up and it’s honest to god one of the most disturbing things.
I started doing this in part because I knew I had friends who would want to access what players were saying, and thru translation we could talk/laugh about it together.
At some point some of the things I was translating became... this.
My rule for translating, usually, is “do I feel like translating this thing?”
From time to time, the question becomes “do non-Korean speaking fans also deserve to access this information?”
(Usually they do.)

It is late. This is very long. It is also extremely messy. So I will do a short summary of this Facebook status that Senika, the streamer, posted recently about her relationship history with the former pro Effect and the current situation.
1) Effect appears to have gone on an online rant about how Senika grew up poor & that she has done sex work to make money. Senika denies this, saying she grew up financially comfortable, but her parent’s business went under and they went into debt. She has never done sex work.
2) She went into modelling to pay off some debts that had been incurred in her name (by her parent). She found that the agency was not trustworthy, wanted out, & ended up in debt bc of the contract. Effect offered to help pay it off, which is why she always felt indebted to him.
