Having dealt with decades of supposedly leftist Korean labor and reunification activists who are weirdly homophobic and xenophobic, I think it has to do with being conservative but not being born rich and therefore resentful of such people
I genuinely don't understand people who are on the right side of Palestine but then support oppressing trans people (*cough Ana Kasparian Norman Finkelstein cough*) or people who understand that housing is a human right but then support Israel (*cough Cory Booker cough*),

Someone on Reddit was like "literally all new kpop will be made with ai so if you want to enjoy any new music in future get used to it" mate most of the music I listen to is from several hundred years ago, I'm good with the concept of not getting new stuff tbh
I’ve been thinking that if anything new is riddled with AI in the future, I will have to go back and enjoy older works. But if older stuff gets enhanced with AI, too, what do I do? 😭

Our final piece of 2025 is live! 💞 @kaytiburt.bsky.social writes about fan tourism: the good, the bad, and...the basis for deeper cross-cultural connection? On Purple Festa, an event that brings fans of Korean pop culture closer to traditional Korean culture. Read or listen to an audio version:

Lots of discourse around Heated Rivalry but I haven't seen the most important point, which is that pining while fucking is the greatest trope in the world

Don't believe everything you see department:
One of the actors in #GezhiTown got contacted with an offer to pay him 500-1,000 RMB to make a video trashing "XZ's movie" (not knowing he was in the movie).

An excellent rec ! Especially for the found family lovers out there !!
I keep meaning to share how much I love Still 17 (Netflix). This is such an endearing drama and a great comfort watch (with compelling stakes too). Baby Ahn Hyo Seop is everything and Shin Hye Sun is brilliant. Epic eye acting from Yang Se Jong - he is among my top #kdrama criers :) #Still17 #kdrama
