hello there’s gonna be another kpop boycott! from april 1st - may 1st. again this is not super organized as far as i can tell there isn’t a hashtag or anything to follow (yet, not sure if there will be one in the future), but that doesn’t mean it’s a not a good idea. here is a thread that has ways to listen unofficially for hybe groups and here is a master post with resources for palestine and palestinian individuals and families

a boycott-friendly kpop playlist !! 🇵🇸

>> you can find the playlist here !

alright y'all i scoured my spotify library and compiled almost 50 hours of music + 900 songs by groups outside of the big 4/5 (hybe, SM, JYP, YG / starship) and their subsidiaries ! happy listening, together we WILL make a difference !!

disclaimer: i’m not perfect, some of these groups may have associations with zionist companies i don’t yet know about, so feel free to send me any feedback if you know something i don’t. i’ll definitely be continuing to add to the playlist as i seek out more music by these artists !

also, i recommend following @bandzboy for more boycott info, resources, and motivation (she’s the one who inspired me to make this playlist) 🖤❤️🤍💚

Kpop's boycott fatigue? I know nect to nothing about current affairs in kpop. Could you explain a bit? The bands are doing something? Or fans?

So kpop fans are planning a boycott against the 4 major big entertainments in Korea (HYBE, YG, SM, & JYP) in support of Palestine. There was a random surge of idols spotted with Starbucks and McDonald's, so after the controversy fans wish to boycott until the companies for a week. Here is my post explaining the situation and what companies are being asked to boycott by Palestinians. In my opinion, I feel the boycott should actually be even longer than a week because it is not enough to put a dent in their stocks. I think its the thought that counts though! Which is why I have no problem participating because we have to show these companies that they're not exempt from criticsm. This means to stop streaming their content (Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc), anything that they could make money from. Listen to the CDs you have or start 🏴‍☠️ing content.

"It's not that deep, let people drink coffee" It's not that deep? more than 30k people have been killed over the course of six months. the next generation of Palestinians is going to have birth defects because on average, 10 kids a day become amputees. premature births have increased by 20-30 percent. 13 libraries containing old and important texts have been burnt down. people are actively trying to erase a whole culture and drive them away from their homes. a university that is more than 1000 years old has been reduced to a pile of rubble. more children have been killed daily than in the holocaust. Palestinians, even if they don't currently live in Palestine, are going to have trauma over this. this is the most well-recorded genocide ever witnessed and yet it is still going on.

all this but you can't stop buying far-too-expensive and shitty coffee from a multimillion-dollar company that is funding the group responsible for this genocide? grow up and start to realise that you, even as one person, have the power to affect a company because when you start, you will somehow influence the people around you. and there are way better and cheaper places to buy coffee from.

so, yes. it is that deep.

BDS's Korean branch has approved of the ongoing boycott against Kpop giant HYBE Labels. This is because of HYBE's collaboration with Scooter Braun, a known zionist, and their launching of the concert movie "D-Day" in Israel. Groups under HYBE Labels include:

BTS

Seventeen

Tomorrow X Together

New Jeans

Le Sserafim

ILLIT

Enhyphen

Fromis_9

BoyNextDoor

Do not stream or buy merchandise for any of these groups, or any other artists under HYBE!

targeted boycotts are as we know the most efficient and this isn’t me calling for a boycott, but to keep people informed below the cut are lists of kpop artists with affiliations to labels mentioned on zionistsinmusic on twitter

UMG (under an american umbrella label it owns or has joint shares in highup ent [kor releases only], yg ent [bp kor releases only], the black label [somi and taeyang's kor releases only]; under capitol music group it owns or has joint shares in sm ent; under republic it owns or has joing shares in big hit [txt kor releases only], jype [twice, skz, and itzy's kor releases only], under universal music japan it has u-cube a "joint venture with" cube ent, virgin music > republic records > used as an imprint for txt jp releases; through third party distribution umg is affiliated with yuehua ent) - 4minute, apink, ateez, beast, bigbang, blackpink, boys republic (actually managed by umg), btob, bts, dean, everglow, snsd, infinite, iu, iz*one, kep1er, lim youngwoong, loona (japan), miss a (since 2012), monsta x, nct 127, p1harmony, psy (since 2012), rainbow, stray kids, shinee, somi, stayc, super junior, t-ara, the rose, triples, tri.be, twice, txt, wonder girls, xikers, and zerobaseone

note: a lot of these have (south korea) next to the name, i don’t know if that means they only have a deal for that country because other artists like stray kids and lim youngwoong don’t have that specification

REPUBLIC (owned by umg) - itzy, nayeon, nmixx, stray kids, txt, tri.be, twice, vcha

SONY (owns columbia, wakeone, dreamcatcher company; distributes modhaus, chrome ent, kq ent, starship, top media, wakeone, wm ent) - riize, ive, ateez, bts, brown eyed girls, wjsn, crayon pop, dreamcatcher, everglow, exid, monsta x's i.m (astrisked, can't find why), kep1er, lim youngwoong, stayc, tfn/t1419, the rose, triples, wings, xikers, zerobaseone

COLUMBIA (owned by sony) - ateez, ive (usa), kep1er, p1harmony, stayc, triples, treasure (usa), xikers, zerobaseone

ATLANTIC (owned by warner) - got7, iu, kep1er, loossemble, p1harmony, sf9

as always if any of this information is incorrect or outdated, please feel free to correct me in a reblog or an ask and i'll update the information in this post. i'll try to keep up with any new companies that are brought up on the twitter account mentioned at the beginning of this post. i'm not here to call for a boycott of every artist mentioned here because i don't feel i am in the position to do so, but i'm not discouraging you from choosing to do so. in fact i encourage you to listen to these artists unofficially at the very least.

i'm not sure the extent to which these companies get revenue from these artists, i don't know if it's just streams or if other things like merch sales and youtube views contribute but quite a few of these artists' companies are being boycotted currently or in the near future anyway, so i would suggest you not buy any merch or watch youtube videos officially from them. this post has more info on downloading music, youtube videos (with subtitles), and the boycotts i mentioned so i hope you all will check that out too. tris @bandzboy has also been posting about and sharing twitter posts about zionism in music, especially in the kpop industry so i suggest you check out her blog as well

#also in researching for this i found that warner music literally has an israel branch so #please forgive the sources being wikipedia i don't have the brain power to click through more links today #kpop #kpop boycott #hybedivestfromzionism #hybe boycott #palestine #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #from the river to the sea #tris i hope you don't mind the mention!#long post #forgot to include hybe because people already know about that but all hybe artists are also included ofc

whoever is managing RIIZE is kind of stupid? like I can't even type how annoyed I am because although I am annoyed I feel like I need to talk about how stupid their management is. I don't know what statistics they're looking at or what is driving their decisions at the moment but it's all fucked. how the fuck you gonna re-record siren and take out his parts...if we thought the people sending Seunghan threats and hate were being extra, I bring you SM. no one is more theatrical than SM. they are treating this whole thing like it's some insanely controversial issue. like Seunghan got into a dui incident. as if he beat up a staff member or something idk like this is really not that serious. all he did was date someone? on top of that it's not like there was news about him being a shitty boyfriend or anything, either. like I'm so confused by their response? they're annoying as shit atp like what the fuck are you doing

I have been listening to kpop since 2012, and I have loved many groups over the years (I was active in a few fandoms over the past decade or so with varying degrees of interest), but over time (especially this past year) I had to step away from being active in these spaces.

There are many problematic aspects within and outside this industry. From the rampant anti-blackness, cultural appropriation of Black culture, and aestheticization of varying "exotic" cultures in their concepts (side eyes always), and just overall the lack of accountability of these companies whenever idols personally say something (and not because their management tells them to wear something) is so incredibly inflammatory, and I just... it's exhausting. There are exceptions -idols I do genuinely believe are wonderful people based on their energy and how open they've been about certain social issues around the world and in their own country, but I think it's an important reminder that 'kpop' is a business, just like any industry in the world that makes profits for 'selling' something.

And trust, I know kpop is an industry giant -especially in Western markets, and the way many fandoms coddle and rush to the defense of their idols in the same way Swifties, Arianators, and Selenators do -the company PR teams do not have to do much, seldom offer a statement unless without it they wouldn't be able to promote. So this does not surprise me one bit -especially the hundreds of thousands of likes on each respective post.

It's also so frustrating to see this happen because so many Korean people in South Korea have been marching and have participated in spreading awareness about the genocide happening in Historic Palestine -because Korea was also occupied and had experienced brutality and violence by Imperial Japan for decades. It just disgusts me to see something appear like this -and not by coincidence because of the ways the fandoms operate. This was done on purpose -because the image of an idol -which if their are popular, is highly influential. I have seen people on X drop tens of thousands of dollars on designer clothes and items they see them wear, or spend thousands just to get into fan signs or calls... and it's just wild to me. The halo effect and the willful ignorance here is just unacceptable.

Somi's father (the young woman in the first photo) is also a Canadian with Dutch descent, so there is literally no excuse whatsoever. You cannot tell me none of these idols aren't aware of what is going on. It's their greedy and opportunistic companies that do this shit constantly, and a lot of these idols just accept it or simply don't care. And it's despicable.

the new le sserafim song that they performed at coachella apparently was co-produced by israhelli producer omer fedi and looking at his credits, he also wrote and produced a kid laroi's song called "too much" where jungkook and central cee were featured and he recently worked in one of the new songs in j-hope's hope on the street vol.1 and the song was "lock / unlock"

#this is insane #i saw the tweet and immediately knew i saw this name somewhere wtf #the fact that he already made song for two kpop artists #and hybe let him do a song for le sserafim is CRAZY...#so yeah when this officially comes out make sure not to stream it #which well... if you are participating on the hybe boycott that's a given #but truly this has to be talked about #le sserafim #< for exposure

Due to many K-pop groups and idols continuing to promote products by companies on the BDS boycott list for Palestine, such as McDonald's and Starbucks, the K-pop community have called for the global boycott for Palestine to extend to the Big 4 K-pop companies.

From the 22nd to the 28th, do not listen, stream, interact or promote any idol or group in one of the Big 4 companies:

HYBE

SM

YG

JYP

Palestinians have been undergoing genocide for 75 years. You can go 5 days without talking or listening to K-Pop.

Whilst we're here, do your daily click on Arab.Org to help Palestinians.

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

boycott your faves!

kpop idols promoting starbucks and mcdonalds for a quick buck shows that they don’t give a fuck about the genocide. it’s honestly telling that they don’t care as long as their pockets are filled.

yes .. the brands are targeting them but they’re also at fault for promoting them.

free palestine, from the river to the sea. 🇵🇸
