Yes, itâs a very interesting look at the early days of K Pop scene, before Lee Soo Man and the other âBig 3â agencies really changed things. The insular attitudes are quite shocking. Iâm glad that Yang Joon Il has gotten a second chance in the industry as I think if he had debuted 10 years later circa 2001, he probably would have been a superstar. Saw an article in allkpop.com about YJI. Hereâs a quote about his struggles to get his music played by radio stations:
Yang Joon Il described the negativity towards him during the time he was promoting his song âDance with Me Missâ back in 1992. He stated: âPeople were saying there were too many English lyrics and it was degenerate. If we tried to get the song to play on the radio, Korean pop radio stations refused to play it saying it was Western pop music but if you went to Western pop radio stations theyâd say that it was Korean Pop and in the end, all sides would just say they couldnât play the song. I had no place in the Korean music industry or the American music industry and I was deeply confused.â
Amazing that having English lyrics made the song âdegenerate.â Times have definitely changed.

@vivi_1485 The video is super cute! And I learned a lot of new dinosars.
WowâŚthe stuff you find on YT. I had no idea that this was a thingâŚImagine if Your K Pop Group was the Opposite Sex. ExampleâŚIf Blackpink was a Boy Group. Apparently there is some type of software/filters that let you upload pictures and they âtransformâ them into the opposite gender. So I looked at some of these YT videos and all I can say isâŚboys or girls, everyone is still gorgeous!

Sorry Photoshop gender reassignment for K-pop groups strikes me as an example of people having tooooo much time on their hands.
Obvioulsy attractive men can be âre-genderizedâ and still look good. Thatâs a no-brainer.
Pre-adolescent males destined for the âidolâ category in adulthood actually can suffer bullying for looking too âprettyâ as children. My best male friend in grade school had this experience from fifth through eighth grade.
And attractive women can certainly pass for male âidolâ types. Taylor Swift does an amazing job in male disguise, although she uses that disguise in a song that points out the worst of male behavior.

My point is . . . so? I would look pretty attractive as a guy, I think. But should I be spending a lot of time Photoshopping myself to prove that point, or should I be doing something with my time to benefit other people in some way?

If a picture that I choose comes from a personâs blog where they have a recipe, I will usually try to include the link to it when I post the picture.

I see your point and I understand where you are coming from. However, I do think some young people are curious or wonder about how things would be if they were the opposite gender. I know I was when I was a kid. I wanted to know what my name would have been ( I asked my mother) and I thought about how would I look-would I look very different? What would my daily life be like? I wasnât obsessing about it, but I did have curiosity. Not to say that I was unhappy with my own gender at all, but just curious. Actually, I always thought that wondering about those type of things was just unique to me and most people never even give it any thought, so seeing those YT videos showed me that other people were curious too.

Yeah, they do. Looking at those type of videos on YT really emphasized for me how the K Entertainment agencies are actively searching for young men with an androgynous look/features for these Idol groups. I read an article a long time ago about a scientific study of physical attractiveness and one of the things I remember is that the study found that young girls ( 12-13 years) are attracted to boys that have that type of look, which is why many of the âteen hearthrobsâ often have those softer features. As they get older, most girls start to find boys with more pronounced masculine features attractive.

Iâm not surprised by those findings, but they are interesting. I wonder what would account for that?

I canât remember exactly what the article said about it. I think the scientists hypothesis was that these young girls find boys with that type of look familiar (since they look more like the girls) and therefore more safe and comfortable? Iâm not really sure since as girls get older they do start to find the more masculine features more attractive.

Well thatâs very interesting. Food for thought, at least.
