Saying that Jeon Somi looks Western is okay, but saying NewJeans’ Hanni looks like Southeast Asian is mocking her?
It’s okay to say that Jeon Somi looks like a Westerner but
A mysterious world where NewJeans’ Hanni will be offended if we say that she looks like a Southeast Asian ^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+256, -76]
1. [+86, -3] This is for realㅋㅋ… When I didn’t know Hanni was Vietnamese, I said her visuals had Southeast Asian vibes but the fans cursed at me… I said it because I thought she really looked like a Southeast Asian, as if they were expressing their views of Southeast Asia as inferior to mine
2. [+58, -3] But seriously, even if you say that she’s pretty, it sounds like you’re mocking her when you say that she looks Southeast Asian, because of prejudice. The truth is that there are many pretty celebrities in Vietnamㅋㅋ Hani doesn’t have a completely Southeast Asian face but her facial features and ears have Vietnamese vibes. But of course, Hanni has no choice but to be Vietnamese, right? She looks like a Southeast Asian = It’s not that she’s ugly, it’s that the fans think it’s negative
3. [+54, -32] You just say that she’s pretty, “Wow, she really looks like a Southeast Asian!” If you say that, people can clearly see your intentionsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+43, -4] In the first place the use of the phrase “looks like Vietnamese” as a way to discriminate among Asiansㅋㅋㅋ It’s natural that Vietnamese people look like Vietnamese…
5. [+26, -4] It’s racist…
6. [+24, -6] No, you guys don’t usually use the word Southeast Asia in a good wayㅋㅋ You guys don’t even have a conscience
7. [+12, -3] Korea is definitely not a multiracial country, so they know nothing about racism.. What race do you look like? This is racist and extremely disrespectful
8. [+1, -2] It’s not racist, but frankly, Westerners are superior. Have you ever heard of Westerners being racist?

Basically this
OP literally being dumb. the difference between the two statements are so drastic because of the connotations.
there have been too many instances of korean netizens using “looks like asoutheast asian” as an insult.
then pair that with the fact that knetizens are always putting up western white/eurocentric visuals on a pedestal.

Good God…the inferiority complex is real. Did this person not study basic world history?
imagine how shocked that commenter would be if they find out about slavery whoops
Hopefully they’re being sarcastic 🥴

Duh… this people doesn’t watch news? USA is one of the countries with the most diverse races but also one of the most racist.
The same goes for lots european people, if you aren’t white they start looking at you funny

Uh.. Who’s gonna tell them
South East Asian are more prettier than Korean lmfao 🤣 that’s why Korean need plastic surgery to keep up with them
well, flash news, hanni did her nose
Yeah that’s what South East Asian pop is so popular in Korea and globally while K-pop isn’t… oh wait. I wonder why are so many South East Asian going to Korea and asking their plastic surgeons to look like Korean celebrities?
Whats wrong? Somi is related with Canadian thats why she looks like western and Hanni is already vietnamese that looks like SEA girl. I think there is nothing wrong with it, Lisa is SEA and other thai girls are also SEA. Even they like it or not, its their nationality.
Cultural context matters. Knets compliment Lisa saying she doesn’t LOOK thai because they think it’s a compliment and hated on her by saying she does look thai. They been implying that looking SEA = ugly for years and they can’t just try to get out of it on a technicality.
Cause yall shit on other by insulting other calling name and saying they look SEA. Stop acting like that not a negative shit korean used. 😒
Yet the whole industry sold and promote to other country .they clearly doesn’t care about you
Because the whole world knows SK suck up and celebrate anything from the west but always uses SEA with a negative connotation. Why are pann bitches acting ignorant suddenly

Why are they playing dumb? They know most Koreans look down on SEA people. It has negative connotations for them
She looks Korean to me. Like that one girl from fx
After years of using “They look SEA” on Koreans as a way to say they’re ugly, now they’re pretending it’s just a normal statement
Koreans are the most hypocritical mfers out there. Like how you only understand racism when it’s against your own but not anyone else. Reeducation for the whole country
These commenters are acting insanely obtuse. We know what they mean by saying “Hanni looks Southeast Asian,” cuz a lot of them say things like that to look down on Southeast Asians.
Then they should promote only within their country since it’s only meant to have Koreans correct? They should promote in Southeast Asia, Japan, China, nor the west since a lot of those places are multi-cultural.
Fck this somi and other western halfbloods 🙂
she’s a poor monkey in east asians’ eyes
Korean isn’t a racist smartass
