If those idiots are genuinely interested in exploring other aspects of Korean culture beyond the superficial issue of lookism, there are shows like Game of Blood or Devil’s Plan that delve into more complex themes. However, I doubt they would ever be inclined to watch such intellectually stimulating brain teasers.
I mean, there’s even this. While it’s not my personal style of comedy, it’s from one of the hottest comedy labels that’s recently gained fame in Korea. However, those foolish K-pop fans never pay attention to content like this because they’re the ones who don’t care about “unpretty” Koreans.
In the case of Comedy Royale, I’ve observed more Korean individuals who become upset or annoyed by their comedy. However, this doesn’t negate its international appeal. I simply refrain from interfering with their business because it would infringe upon their freedom of speech.
The most annoying comments left on the common section for this performance were those from K-pop fans. When the music video was released, one fan criticized Koreans for making the artist cover his tattoos for the performance. She claimed that Koreans suppress individuality and are obsessed with presentation. I mean, she must be from a country on the planet, right? And I’m sure her country also has people who don’t necessarily find tattoos classy, noble, or artistic, in the context of classical fine art. This show was an attempt to raise awareness for classical ballet, and they just used K-pop music to attract a wider audience. So, the standard is set for people who appreciate classical ballet, not street dancing. This fan didn’t seem to hold that notion and yet had the audacity to leave a comment that completely diminished the entire Korean society and culture. How ignorant can you be to live like that? I suppose I still have to respect her because it’s her freedom of speech, right? I find it incredibly annoying. https://youtu.be/xd1yCMBS7rk
