The collaborations have remodeled me and many others to K-Pop enthusiasts during the night, but ignorance compromises that they are a simple success.

More than three hundred times. It is how many times I, which two years ago may not call a single K-Pop song that is not “dynamite” and “Fake Love”, heard “Seven” by Jungkook and Latto last year.  

In a shameful way, the real number is much, much superior than that. Higher than I never need to admit on all types of public platform.

My point of view of the data on the incriminatory global is not to walk on my musical tastes: it is to communicate on the colossal to have an effect on the collaborations of K -Pop with Western artists not only made me in me, but in the industry in general.

I had been aware that there was an intelligent possibility that I don’t like K-pop songs. It was not great to be a fan in school and the best school, so I never explored my interest in gender. Without a doubt, however, an idea that those mentioned BTS songs were catchy, even when I pretended not to do it.  

However, it was only when I got here through a Tiktok video that understood “Seven” that I felt motivated to explore more. To date, I still do not necessarily know what this song that brings me back, but for an intelligent was 3 months, it was the main song of my rotation. I had not heard catchy songs.

What began as an emotion to blame has become an interest without stopping in the genre, a genre that would probably never have explored in the song if Latto, a popular rapper from Atlanta, was not involved. However, it was not his ability in the song that made me a fan: was Jungkook’s addictive voice.

From there, I was going to immerse myself more in other teams that I had heard through the passes, such as Newjaans, Sserafim and Kiss of Life. Songs like “Sugarcoat (Natty Sol)”, “Easy” and “Supernatural” would be regular in my reading list.  

I was so surprised by the amount of inspiration that Fashion K-Pop is to take pop of the 2000s, and in R&B specific, which is my favorite musical genre of all time. K-Pop was anything that had the option of being commercialized for me, and the maximum probably an abundance of other consumers in Western countries, but only needed the type of intelligent exposure, which these collaborations provided.

“Seven” continued to become the maximum transmission song in Jungkook on Spotify through an amazing margin of more than one billion rivers, and in a little more than a year and a half exceeded each BTS song, the original Jungkook group, the 12 -year history of the collective.  

Other K-Pop collaborations, such as “APT”. By Bruno Mars and the BlackPink Rosé also had a similar success, not only on the lists, but has not yet exhibited K-Pop’s talents in the world.   After the launch of “APT. “, Rosé capable of succeeding in the largest number of flows per month for any K-Pop artist. “Suitable. ” It is also the maximum transmission song of Rosé of all time in Spotify with 1. 4 billion flows.  

These collaborations have not only helped K -Pop artists, but also gave many Western artists a street to exploit what is already a very large global industry.

Like “Seven” is the maximum transmission song in Jungkook, it is also that of Latto, through an even greater margin of Almaximum 2 billion flows. “3D” with Jungkook and Jack Harlow is the fifth maximum transmission song in Harlow. Even for artists such as Bruno Mars and The Weeknd, who are among the largest on the planet, their K-Pop collaborations are among the maxims scattered in their discography. “Suitable. ” It is the twelfth song of maximum transmission in March, and “One of the Girls” with Jennie de Blackpink, is the eleventh time more of the weekend.  

K-pop has been massive, but we are entering an era in which artists are larger at a global scale than before and despite everything we get the popularity they deserve. Much of this can be attributed to the abundance of collaborations that we saw more or less during the last half of Obtainr. However, the superior exhibition for these artists has also led to more global comments and, subsequently, more conversations about the consultation of whether or not some of these acts are an respectful imitation or credit.  

It is not a secret for K-Pop to promote many of the many of the R&B and the pop culture of the 2000 and 2000s, which happens as something that the American black culture has defined. The global tendency to freely imitate black culture without genuine respect for their other people is a very delicate issue.

This Monday, an YG escape, one of the largest entertainment agencies in South Korea, published a series of videos that includes 3 of the 4 members of Blackpink, one of the most popular K -Pop women in the last decade, using the word N several times while covering a safe number of songs some of its previous tests.  

There are also many other K-Pop artists who have been captured the word, among other incidents, such as accusations of idols that deliberately jump all five and black fans. These occasions of occasional lack of respect for black culture are bother when you think about the amount of inspiration that gender has black music.  

Many K-pop fashion songs occur and write through blacks, involve many influences of R&B and hip-hop, and provide means that mimic popular fashion styles through blacks. There is no excuse for artists who use both black culture to know the history of the word n.

In the appearance of flip, lack of respect are not only exclusive to the aspect of K-Pop artists. After the launch of “Seven”, the old Latto tweets make a series of racist jokes in non-unusual Asian stereotypes resurfaced on social networks, and faced a reaction from many K-pop fan fans.  

Jack Harlow also faced a complaint about his line, “all my ABGs become cute for me”, in their “3D” verse. The use through ABG Harlow, which can be an “Asian girl,” led some to accuse her of inappropriately Asian fetish women. There have also been several lines, especially racist in hip-hop in Asian communities, the years of artists such as Migos e Yg.

This type of racism is sometimes not the result of intentional malice, but of ignorance. These instances occur when other people consume media from other cultures without asking about this culture. However, even if those musicians may not intend to be racist, they were.  

Music is a reflected image of culture, and those collaborations have been among the maximum popular songs in recent years. They also integrate musical styles that integrate well. Although many of these incidents have gained a lot of traction in the media over the years, the maximum collaborations between the western public and the K-Pop in the end is respectful, but to maintain things in an ascending trajectory, Western artists and the K-Pop must be knowledgeable so that they do not encourage the public who deserve to continue thriving inside.
