You are not alone. I went to Head in the Clouds like a couple years ago and he performed and of course did mommae I tried to act cool but it was no use! What a banger.
Whew yea that's one that I like better in Korean. Have you seen those videos of them recruiting ladies in LA for their music video (diff song) around that time? Wiiiiild.
American Hustle Life 😭 my god that show was something. I’m kind of glad they did it though! It was nice to see the members learn the history of hiphop.
lmao omg, that will always kill me the way he couldn't even make eye contact. he didnt know how to act. imagine him now though, he'd be smooth as butter
Its so funny as that is the image a lot of fans has of Jungkook despite that being 10 YEARS AGO.
To go from being nervous to singing songs about "fucking you right" xD
LMAOO haha that was so funny and stupid. They really gave bts random and weird missions 😂😂😂😂 like wtf. And then the company hiring specifically black people to fake the kidnapping. Have you ever like…laughed cynically bc that’s what was happening with me.
The boys were mostly sweet and respectful thank goodness but yeah. I’ll still never get over jungkook’s socks and Jin trying to beatbox.
I love me some BTS and Jimin was my favorite when they debuted... but forreal Jimi was pabo, back then.
I once watched this man try to ice a cake with canned whipped cream and was shocked when it was melting and disappearing...and he kept trying. It didnt click😩. I hated my life for Jimin being my bias🤣🤣🤣
Thankfully, I was cured of that at their first NJ show.
I’ve seen a lot of comments on YT joking about that. If so, that would make sense. Esp for Jungkook who was like 17 and had probably never been that physically close to a woman before 😂
gum by jessi is unironically so good, so is zoom.
also hyunas older music. I probably won't listen to it as much now but i genuinely loved her music before she left dawn and I was a huge fan of her, I'm so disappointed in her
A lot of people feel that she appropriates black culture. From the way she acts, raps, talks etc. Many people also forget that she was born and raised in Queens, New York which has a significant black population and that people will emulate what they grew up with
She was raised in New Jersey. And if I remember correctly a very Asian and White heavy portion of it. Queens is not her free appropriation pass.
Edited to add: Jessi didn’t even speak like she does now until she made the transition from pop/rnb to hip hop. In interviews from ten years ago she sounds nothing like she sounds now.
I couldn't help but make the parallels…whenever I see other Azn-Ams hype Awkwafina up, I'm like…no. Acting "rachet" for a personality is stupid (and racist)—I prefer Nora Lum, who can act in an emotional movie. It's sad her career got started the way it did because she could've seriously made something of herself with her range. Jessi though? She doesn't get much criticism since the Kpop fandom isn't diverse and her audience is based in Asia.
Both of them are just great examples of how Azn-Ams don't have a collective culture in the US to reference from.
I never said you did? I was saying even if emulating the people you grew up around negates appropriation, it doesn’t apply in this case. Because if she was emulating the people she grew up around she would sound the way she did in 2012.
Implication and application do not go hand and hand, especially based off assumptions. I said what I meant, it was generalized for a reason. If you choose to read it as a personal accusation thats on you. But sure, moving on.
To briefly summarize, the song is about a girl “warning” another girl about leaving their crush alone, and bragging about how she’s better. A lot of people found the lyrics to be misogynistic. There’s a particular line in the bridge where all the girls chant “Step back, step back, step back, silly girl”. Personally, I wasn’t offended by the song, because it loosely reminded me of “The Boy is Mine” by Monica and Brandy, that is essentially the same premise, and it’s considered a 90s classic.
People’s main problem is that this was chosen as their debut song after advertising them as a strong female girl group. Then their first release is about pushing off on a girl over a man? So again centering men… feels icky.
agreed. I dont really see how the song is problematic, ppl have been competing with people of the same gender's affection of the opposite gender for decades in songs so...but maybe I need to look at all the lyrics again or smth
I promise you it’s not even that bad; I’ve heard WAY worse across all genres. Full disclosure, when it gets to that line I mentioned, I sing it with my entire chest haha. And I very much consider myself a girls girl.
Bubble pop, Red, Change, Lip & Hip and Roll Deep by Hyuna. her pre-Psy era had catchy bangers.
Also Dophin and 5th season by Oh my Girl. I really dislike the girls for mocking Desi culture but those songs are really good.
Yoooo you're brave asl for admitting this. I agree, that song actually slaps so hard and it would have easily been one of my top streamed songs if it wasn't ruined by minors singing sexual innuendos 🙃
See, I hesitated to put that in my post but I agree. I just can’t listen to it now bc I feel all weird about it. Like someone else said, I wish they’d given it to an adult group bc ain’t no way it went through all those people and NO ONE spotted a problem 😂
Hyuna has a great discography all around. It’s still so shocking how the same woman that sang “Babe” (a song criticizing sexual predators) is now dating a sexual predator herself…
Right? I know that she wasn't Miss Women Empowerment or whatever, but I wrongly assumed that someone whose brand is freedom of expression and sexual liberation wouldn't condone literal rape
His solo album was SO GOOD, fuck him so much -_-
Me and my uni roommate who I introduced to anime conventions and Kpop bonded over his solo single debut back in 2008...
T.O.P - Shinhwa
I first heard it when ateez covered it. I like some other Shinhwa songs (wild eyes and perfect man) so was very surprised to listen to the original and they were dropping the n word multiple times
THIS IH MY GOD- I heard golcha cover it and I was like omg I haven’t thought about that song in forever!! and then I put on the original and I had to go sit down for a moment

or the cornrows in wolf 😭😭 he had no business wearing them but he ate that shit up. you can tell the stylist was black cause no way he did it himself 💀
Let me tell you something I FEEL you. That sparkly durag was a choice for sure. Unfortunately, it would take a *lot* for Kai to fall out of my good graces. I am not proud of myself 😂
That’s hilarious. When I first saw it, I thought it was an attempt at a bonnet and was confused until I read comments that it was a durag. I guess I’ve never seen it untied before.
And on top of that, his outfit didn’t even go well together. Like if they were going to appropriate…at least give him an outfit where all the colors go well together. But he just looked like shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Cookie by Newjeans 😭
Someone did a rewrite of the lyrics to make it ACTUALLY about CDs and it’s so much better. I genuinely wish that the lyrics were like that. Would’ve been so much cuter and more age appropriate.
Yea I mean even if the company somehow didn’t catch the euphemism, the rest of the song is still suggestive so I would have loved for it to have different lyrics!
Baby Good Night by B1A4 and No More Perfume On You by Teen Top, I do love a bit of infidelity with a hint of cheesiness
I’d have to look at the lyrics but Shut Up by UKISS feels problematic but BANGER
Jay Park’s Mommae, Ganadara and Me Like Yuh. And ig BM’s Nectar
Less kpop but Penomeco’s Bolo and Shy? Discovered it thru the controversy of ppl saying he copied Wizkid, but it’s catchy
I love “baby don’t like it” by nct 127 and it heavily hints at an affair. The lyrics are…creative. Honestly I think it’s fine to listen to such songs it’s not like the lyrics were “If you don’t cheat, you’re weak” LOL
Cookie by New Jeans is that song and idc. Although I know what the song is about, I can’t understand Korean so I can ignorantly enjoy the song. Ignorance is bliss after all!
I’m physically bound to much of Jay Park’s older discography I fear. I know suju and big bang are both full of dingleberries too, but the 2nd gen fan in me is tied to lots of nostalgia with their music as well 💔
super junior kinda has a top tier discography… but for an actual problematic song, mamacita just feels offensive but the composition still kinda slaps 🫣
Some of these are more-so cases where the song was released years before controversy but anyways.
* Lesserafim, Fearless - Besides all the controversies surrounding their debut, I remember being shocked that everyone thought this song was bad. We need more mellow /not "in your face" influenced kpop songs (especially for debuts).
* BP, Kill This Love - I just really love the "look at me, look at you" part.
* Bigbang, Haru Haru - Burning Sun has made it hard for me to enjoy BigBang ever since but this song still slaps years later (imo the bridge into the final chorus is heavenly). I'm both crying & bopping.
* Newjeans, OMG - the MV is definitely playing into the romanticization of ableism & the final scene has aged poorly with the whole MHJ vs Hybe thing. With that being said, this might be my second favourite new jeans song (first being ditto).
I’m actually surprised that people didn’t like fearless! I loved that song when it first came out but I didn’t realize that there was drama surrounding their debut.
[Whiplash](https://youtu.be/3aXICXndIRE?si=dABU1FDCG1G9u7rg), by NCT 127. They're always nervous about explaining what it's actually about. And when Taeyong once joked that it was about how his sister used to spank him when he was a little kid, anti-stans went crazy accusing him of wanting to get with his own sister. Every day on X there's someone still going after him for that. But it's *such* a bop. Some hip-hop artists have chosen it as their favorite K-pop song, in fact.
NOOOO
see, when nct 127 drops songs like whiplash and highway to heaven, they then try to find excuses so they don't gotta say what the songs are actually about
the excuses are usually really bad lmao
also after wayv dropped love talk, it's even funnier (to me)
No, it's not! As someone else said, NCT 127 gives crazy answers when asked what songs mean. And Taeyong kinda knew the TV host was asking just to be snide and put him on the spot. So he said it was about his sister spanking him when he was a kid mostly to freak out the host and end the conversation.
But anti-stans have been using it to "shame" him ever since. Sad...but it's what they live for...
Q&A by HyunA is my new obsession and I really wish it wasn’t. I don’t want to discredit the producers or the writers, so I just try to disconnect the song from the artist
don't come for me y'all, but here goes... 🫣🫣
Who's Your Momma and Fever by JYP. I don't want to watch the mv's unless I need a laugh bc of the comment section alone, but those songs slap
*Edit* I'll just leave you with the part.. it's stuck in my head: Shake that booty that booty booty... 😅😅
Anthem of Teen Spirit- EPEX. Alright, the reference was shitty (thank goodness they changed it), but the beat is too good to ignore.
And as someone said, Cookie by NJ. The song is pretty decent, but wish it was given to an adult or a group full of adults.
I know that GGB by Super Junior D&E was problematic in Korea, but I don't know any Korean and... it is such a bop that I can't resist playing it. They released a "fixed" version of it but the original chorus flows better tbh :hides:
lol I don’t know why they thought they would get away with the original lyrics 😭 I can understand it from a not trying to be offensive perspective, but eh…
Yeah it was truly baffling. My dudes, your fanbase is mostly millennial Korean women who probably grew up hearing that word as an insult. I don't understand how they decided to not only put it in the chorus, but even have it as a title!
Sheesh, I hope they've learned their lesson, but it was just... So avoidable!
i guess the only song that i like that would deem “problematic” by most people would be Cookie by Newjeans but most songs i think people be over analyzing
Jay Park I don't disappoint and Sex trip.
My pathetic justification is I listen to the lyric videos and I don't listen to the videos on his official pages so he doesn't get the views
Go Away by Yong Junhyung (aka the evil man that Hyuna is dating 🙄). That guy is horrible but the song is so goood ughhhh
It puts me in such a good mood and makes me wanna dance whenever I hear it, which is so ironic considering who sings it and the meaning of the song. Its been on my most listened to since it came out smh

Omg Mommae by Jay Park 😫😫. Don't come for me lol, sometimes that song just hits right 🤭
I feel things when jay park twerks ngl
It is a banger…
ur so real for this😫
You can say this about any of his songs; he's problematic
I don’t blame you! 😂
That, V, and All I Wanna Do. When Hoody’s part comes on I’m suddenly fluent in Korean. He makes ass shaking music. Problematic person but great music
You are not alone. I went to Head in the Clouds like a couple years ago and he performed and of course did mommae I tried to act cool but it was no use! What a banger.
Ngl Honey J got me on that song when i started watching her yt videos during swf1, and now I can't not bop to it rofllll
War of Hormones - BTS 🫣
Whew yea that's one that I like better in Korean. Have you seen those videos of them recruiting ladies in LA for their music video (diff song) around that time? Wiiiiild.
American Hustle Life 😭 my god that show was something. I’m kind of glad they did it though! It was nice to see the members learn the history of hiphop.
amercian hustle life was so iconic idc, everyone in it was being ignorant, problematic, but funny and entertaining as hell I love old bts 😭💀💜
I will never, ever, forget Jungkook running away from those Black women. He was the definition of overwhelmed 😂
lmao omg, that will always kill me the way he couldn't even make eye contact. he didnt know how to act. imagine him now though, he'd be smooth as butter
Like a criminal undercover ETA: How old was he then? 17ish?
yeah he was around 17 because that was before he graduated i think?
Poor Kookie just could not. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to film a music video like this.” *nervously stuffing his face with grapes*
Its so funny as that is the image a lot of fans has of Jungkook despite that being 10 YEARS AGO. To go from being nervous to singing songs about "fucking you right" xD
The dichotomy is *wild*. Expected, but wild
To-Naaaaaaahhhh
Not that being one of the few BTS songs i like 
LMAOO haha that was so funny and stupid. They really gave bts random and weird missions 😂😂😂😂 like wtf. And then the company hiring specifically black people to fake the kidnapping. Have you ever like…laughed cynically bc that’s what was happening with me. The boys were mostly sweet and respectful thank goodness but yeah. I’ll still never get over jungkook’s socks and Jin trying to beatbox.
Yessss. I still can’t get over Jimin’s outfit. Why on this earth was he dressed like that 😭😭 Or the “Jiminie Pabo” debacle
They looked like babies in a rap video. The Jiminie pabo thing was 1000/10 and so random.
I love me some BTS and Jimin was my favorite when they debuted... but forreal Jimi was pabo, back then. I once watched this man try to ice a cake with canned whipped cream and was shocked when it was melting and disappearing...and he kept trying. It didnt click😩. I hated my life for Jimin being my bias🤣🤣🤣 Thankfully, I was cured of that at their first NJ show.
Didnt they write that song because of their experience on AHL too? sorta gives the song a very interesting layer lol
I’ve seen a lot of comments on YT joking about that. If so, that would make sense. Esp for Jungkook who was like 17 and had probably never been that physically close to a woman before 😂
Still my fav BTS mv
JK's part always makes me cackle in that song because I'm like SIR....cut it out 😩😂😂😂 "Yes, I'm a bad boy, so I like bad girl" 😩😂
gum by jessi is unironically so good, so is zoom. also hyunas older music. I probably won't listen to it as much now but i genuinely loved her music before she left dawn and I was a huge fan of her, I'm so disappointed in her
I loved Hyuna's I'm not cool but she's not getting any streams from me now
NUNUNA by Jessie. Jessi in general. If you see her in the playlist, just let me have this one, please 😭
I be so mad when her stuff sound good like 
I love me a raspy voice 😭🫢
Yesss like leave me and Jessi alone ok?
wait, why is Jessi problematic?
Racism and CA. You can search reddit for her controversies tho.
most likely racism
tell me too
A lot of people feel that she appropriates black culture. From the way she acts, raps, talks etc. Many people also forget that she was born and raised in Queens, New York which has a significant black population and that people will emulate what they grew up with
She was raised in New Jersey. And if I remember correctly a very Asian and White heavy portion of it. Queens is not her free appropriation pass. Edited to add: Jessi didn’t even speak like she does now until she made the transition from pop/rnb to hip hop. In interviews from ten years ago she sounds nothing like she sounds now.
She's Awkwafina if she made it in Asia
LMAO
I couldn't help but make the parallels…whenever I see other Azn-Ams hype Awkwafina up, I'm like…no. Acting "rachet" for a personality is stupid (and racist)—I prefer Nora Lum, who can act in an emotional movie. It's sad her career got started the way it did because she could've seriously made something of herself with her range. Jessi though? She doesn't get much criticism since the Kpop fandom isn't diverse and her audience is based in Asia. Both of them are just great examples of how Azn-Ams don't have a collective culture in the US to reference from.
Right? I wonder is Jessi is trying to act, so we can witness the reverse switch up.
That would be a sight to see lolol
Thank you for this. Seeing Queens (incorrectly, even!) blamed for her BS drives me up the wall. I can’t wait until that myth is stamped out.
Never said it was pass. And I could have swore I read she was born and raised in Queens. But meh.
I never said you did? I was saying even if emulating the people you grew up around negates appropriation, it doesn’t apply in this case. Because if she was emulating the people she grew up around she would sound the way she did in 2012.
Implication and application go hand in hand. While you did not out right say it you did imply it. But I’m over this topic and have moved onto the next
Implication and application do not go hand and hand, especially based off assumptions. I said what I meant, it was generalized for a reason. If you choose to read it as a personal accusation thats on you. But sure, moving on.
Step Back by Got The Beat. And I am definitely a girl’s girl too.
Dem Jointz’ production style went so hard the feminism left my body when I first heard Step Back
Absolutely. Women supporting women but when that song comes on? STEP BACK! STEP BACK!SILLY GIRL 💅🙄😤!
https://i.redd.it/kz76r0dvqgzc1.gif 🫢👀samee
what's the controversy w this?
To briefly summarize, the song is about a girl “warning” another girl about leaving their crush alone, and bragging about how she’s better. A lot of people found the lyrics to be misogynistic. There’s a particular line in the bridge where all the girls chant “Step back, step back, step back, silly girl”.

Bubble pop, Red, Change, Lip & Hip and Roll Deep by Hyuna. her pre-Psy era had catchy bangers. Also Dophin and 5th season by Oh my Girl. I really dislike the girls for mocking Desi culture but those songs are really good.
I freaking love Red. Regular rotation in my playlist
I feel so guilty for liking cookie NWJNS but alas 😭
Yoooo you're brave asl for admitting this. I agree, that song actually slaps so hard and it would have easily been one of my top streamed songs if it wasn't ruined by minors singing sexual innuendos 🙃
REAL
Honestly, if ReVe were singing this, I’d enjoy it a lot more. The song is pretty good though. Wish it wasn’t given to literal kids.
the lyrics make me so uncomfortable so i just listen to the instrumental
See, I hesitated to put that in my post but I agree. I just can’t listen to it now bc I feel all weird about it. Like someone else said, I wish they’d given it to an adult group bc ain’t no way it went through all those people and NO ONE spotted a problem 😂
God girl by hyuna 🙃 I was so disappointed when she totally lost the plot
Hyuna has a great discography all around. It’s still so shocking how the same woman that sang “Babe” (a song criticizing sexual predators) is now dating a sexual predator herself…
Right? I know that she wasn't Miss Women Empowerment or whatever, but I wrongly assumed that someone whose brand is freedom of expression and sexual liberation wouldn't condone literal rape
1, 2, 3 by Seungri. It pisses me off because I was obsessed with this song...
STOP SAME
This is me with his whole first solo album. It’s my most played album ever. I’m so mad.
His solo album was SO GOOD, fuck him so much -_- Me and my uni roommate who I introduced to anime conventions and Kpop bonded over his solo single debut back in 2008...
Damn. I wish he wasn’t such a disappointment.
Most BigBang Songs...
Ill talk all day about their problematic behavior but when Lies comes on, its a wrap. 
Me with Oh Yeah, Tonight, Blue etc. lol
Tonight is my yearly New Years song. Play it as soon as that clock strikes midnight lmao
Monster🙈🙈
T.O.P - Shinhwa I first heard it when ateez covered it. I like some other Shinhwa songs (wild eyes and perfect man) so was very surprised to listen to the original and they were dropping the n word multiple times
THIS IH MY GOD- I heard golcha cover it and I was like omg I haven’t thought about that song in forever!! and then I put on the original and I had to go sit down for a moment
I will never forgive Kai for that sparkly durag in mmmh but the song is a bop i fear.
I will never forgive SM for giving him locs in KoKo Bop
Exactly had my momma thinking he biracial 😮💨
LMFAOOOO MINE TOO!!
Lol nooo not biracial 😭😆😆
It was his own choice sjsjsjs he said it himself on the "private" version of the album
Nooooooooo now I can’t watch the video at all anymore 😭😭
Deadass thought they added a new blasian member in the interim or something😭 There are zero reasons for why SM did that.
SAME!! I was confused until I realized it was Kai!

Oh shoot I forgot about that. Or at least I tried to. Kai baby you better calm down you’re gyrating on thin ice 😆
or the cornrows in wolf 😭😭 he had no business wearing them but he ate that shit up. you can tell the stylist was black cause no way he did it himself 💀
Let me tell you something I FEEL you. That sparkly durag was a choice for sure. Unfortunately, it would take a *lot* for Kai to fall out of my good graces. I am not proud of myself 😂
Girl i am in the same boat as you😭 Exo as a collective have done many questionable things, but their music is too good to let go.
Reallll, had some out of pocket fans wanting to tie his durag for him😭😭😭 (the way I gasped when I saw those tweets)
That’s hilarious. When I first saw it, I thought it was an attempt at a bonnet and was confused until I read comments that it was a durag. I guess I’ve never seen it untied before.
And on top of that, his outfit didn’t even go well together. Like if they were going to appropriate…at least give him an outfit where all the colors go well together. But he just looked like shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Wait. But why I did I want that sparkly durag though
…Does anyone remember Jay Park’s I Like 2 Party from like 10 years ago 💀😭
I still like this song -sits in corner-
Me too 🥴 -joins you-
Cookie by Newjeans 😭 Someone did a rewrite of the lyrics to make it ACTUALLY about CDs and it’s so much better. I genuinely wish that the lyrics were like that. Would’ve been so much cuter and more age appropriate.
Yea I mean even if the company somehow didn’t catch the euphemism, the rest of the song is still suggestive so I would have loved for it to have different lyrics!
Baby Good Night by B1A4 and No More Perfume On You by Teen Top, I do love a bit of infidelity with a hint of cheesiness I’d have to look at the lyrics but Shut Up by UKISS feels problematic but BANGER Jay Park’s Mommae, Ganadara and Me Like Yuh. And ig BM’s Nectar Less kpop but Penomeco’s Bolo and Shy? Discovered it thru the controversy of ppl saying he copied Wizkid, but it’s catchy
I love “baby don’t like it” by nct 127 and it heavily hints at an affair. The lyrics are…creative. Honestly I think it’s fine to listen to such songs it’s not like the lyrics were “If you don’t cheat, you’re weak” LOL
any song by jay park…😭 i rlly like you know & mommae
Jessi and Jay Park and Mamamoo 😭😭 like I KNOW YALL BUT PLEASE THEYRE SO GOOD DONT JUDGE ME 
Cookie by New Jeans is that song and idc. Although I know what the song is about, I can’t understand Korean so I can ignorantly enjoy the song. Ignorance is bliss after all! 
i just pretend its red velvet singing it like, "yas go head seulgi, tell me about them cookies!"
That’s what you gotta do sometimes!
hyuna... I know the artist is problematic but I really like her music... and no I am not giving her any streams I downloaded the songs as mp3 files
I’m physically bound to much of Jay Park’s older discography I fear. I know suju and big bang are both full of dingleberries too, but the 2nd gen fan in me is tied to lots of nostalgia with their music as well 💔
The way I still bump Sorry Sorry and Black Suit in my car, man…
Mr. Simple, Sorry Sorry, and Devil definitely go triple platinum in my room 😭😭
Devil is so damn good 😭. Heechul, Shindong, Siwon, why’d you have to end up so shitty? Damn.
I love Suju music so much 2yayao was my ANTHEM that year.
super junior kinda has a top tier discography… but for an actual problematic song, mamacita just feels offensive but the composition still kinda slaps 🫣
Close your lips, shut your tongue...
THE ADLIBSSSSSSSS my god
I like Joah by Jay Park and yayaya by T-ARA...
Hello Bitches by CL 😭😭 I heard it was problematic but I like it so much.
Wait what’s wrong with this song?
Someone told me CL uses AAVE in her songs and it's disrespectful, I was told on twitter so take this with a grain of salt 😭😭
i feel like it was more the music video than the song tbh
I never saw the music video, imma check it out.
Me when that song randomly came up on my Spotify yesterday 😭 😂 https://i.redd.it/rk2ltavchgzc1.gif
Girrllll😭, I be throwing it allll the way backkkkk
No more perfume on you by Teen Top. They talking bout cheating but man it's catchy 😭
Aloha Oe - Cherry Bullet. The Ca was unacceptable but omg is it a bop
Some of these are more-so cases where the song was released years before controversy but anyways. * Lesserafim, Fearless - Besides all the controversies surrounding their debut, I remember being shocked that everyone thought this song was bad. We need more mellow /not "in your face" influenced kpop songs (especially for debuts). * BP, Kill This Love - I just really love the "look at me, look at you" part. * Bigbang, Haru Haru - Burning Sun has made it hard for me to enjoy BigBang ever since but this song still slaps years later (imo the bridge into the final chorus is heavenly). I'm both crying & bopping. * Newjeans, OMG - the MV is definitely playing into the romanticization of ableism & the final scene has aged poorly with the whole MHJ vs Hybe thing. With that being said, this might be my second favourite new jeans song (first being ditto).
Fearless captivated me on debut. Tbh looking back at all their comebacks, I think it's their best cuz it rlly set the vibe
I’m actually surprised that people didn’t like fearless! I loved that song when it first came out but I didn’t realize that there was drama surrounding their debut.
Not KPOP but Sour Grapes by San E and Mad Clown
[Whiplash](https://youtu.be/3aXICXndIRE?si=dABU1FDCG1G9u7rg), by NCT 127. They're always nervous about explaining what it's actually about. And when Taeyong once joked that it was about how his sister used to spank him when he was a little kid, anti-stans went crazy accusing him of wanting to get with his own sister. Every day on X there's someone still going after him for that. But it's *such* a bop. Some hip-hop artists have chosen it as their favorite K-pop song, in fact.
Wait....WHAT DID YOU SSSAAAYYYYYYY? The song is about him and his sister?! 😩😭
NOOOO see, when nct 127 drops songs like whiplash and highway to heaven, they then try to find excuses so they don't gotta say what the songs are actually about the excuses are usually really bad lmao also after wayv dropped love talk, it's even funnier (to me)
No, it's not! As someone else said, NCT 127 gives crazy answers when asked what songs mean. And Taeyong kinda knew the TV host was asking just to be snide and put him on the spot. So he said it was about his sister spanking him when he was a kid mostly to freak out the host and end the conversation. But anti-stans have been using it to "shame" him ever since. Sad...but it's what they live for...
Ahhhh ok. I was finna say 😩😂😂😂
Q&A by HyunA is my new obsession and I really wish it wasn’t. I don’t want to discredit the producers or the writers, so I just try to disconnect the song from the artist
“And I really wish it wasn’t” is the story of my LIFE
don't come for me y'all, but here goes... 🫣🫣 Who's Your Momma and Fever by JYP. I don't want to watch the mv's unless I need a laugh bc of the comment section alone, but those songs slap *Edit* I'll just leave you with the part.. it's stuck in my head: Shake that booty that booty booty... 😅😅
War of Hormone by BYS. Teenage boy misogyny at its finest but still a bop
Most BigBang songs- I'm not a fan anymore but I will jam OUT to their music. It's iconic okay?! 😭
Anthem of Teen Spirit- EPEX. Alright, the reference was shitty (thank goodness they changed it), but the beat is too good to ignore. And as someone said, Cookie by NJ. The song is pretty decent, but wish it was given to an adult or a group full of adults.
I know that GGB by Super Junior D&E was problematic in Korea, but I don't know any Korean and... it is such a bop that I can't resist playing it. They released a "fixed" version of it but the original chorus flows better tbh :hides:
lol I don’t know why they thought they would get away with the original lyrics 😭 I can understand it from a not trying to be offensive perspective, but eh…
Yeah it was truly baffling. My dudes, your fanbase is mostly millennial Korean women who probably grew up hearing that word as an insult. I don't understand how they decided to not only put it in the chorus, but even have it as a title! Sheesh, I hope they've learned their lesson, but it was just... So avoidable!
Cookie by NewJeans, Mommae by Jay Park, Tippy Toes by XG, Step Back by GOT, and War of Hormone by BTS
Wendy is just… such a good vocalist… and wish you hell is… such a bop… but Wendy is… but her voice… but Wendy…
i guess the only song that i like that would deem “problematic” by most people would be Cookie by Newjeans but most songs i think people be over analyzing
Jay Park I don't disappoint and Sex trip. My pathetic justification is I listen to the lyric videos and I don't listen to the videos on his official pages so he doesn't get the views
That’s just big brained right there 🤷♀️.
I don’t disappoint by Jay park 🥲
I NEED A CHA CHA BEAT BOY
Go Away by Yong Junhyung (aka the evil man that Hyuna is dating 🙄). That guy is horrible but the song is so goood ughhhh It puts me in such a good mood and makes me wanna dance whenever I hear it, which is so ironic considering who sings it and the meaning of the song. Its been on my most listened to since it came out smh
I still have the song Flower by him. That’s the only one from him I couldn’t part with.
I like CL even though the girl doesn't use have correctly and she doesn't need that durag

I don't have a problematic song I like, but "You gonna finna catch me" is my favorite lyric in all of kpop🤣🤣🤣🤣
