GOT7'S JACKSON WANTS HIS GROUP TO BE CALLED "BLACK KIDS" AND "BLACK FREEDOM"

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: TenAsia has now changed all instances where they used the word "black" to word the words "hip-hop". Interesting change of events. As far as I'm aware, they or GOT7 never issued an apology and just silently changed it.

Q. 2PM은 짐승돌이라는 걸출한 수식어가 있다. 갓세븐은 무엇으로 불리고 싶나?
[2pm are known as "beastly idols". What would you like to be called?]
잭슨 : 교포오빠들?
[Jackson: 'Gyopo oppas'?]
멤버들 : 에이, 멋있지가 않다.
[Members: Ey, that's not cool]
영재 : 목포오빠. (웃음) 교포, 목포.
[Youngjae: 'Mokpo oppas' (laughs), Gyopo, mokpo]
유겸 : 흑인 음악 잘하는 아이들?
[Yoogyeom: 'Idols good at doing black music'? (t/n: he means hip-hop...)]
JB : 아, 너무 어렵다. 블랙 소울!
[JB: Ah that's too hard. 'Black soul'!]
잭슨 : (원어민 발음으로) 블랙 키즈.
[Jackson: (native pronunciation) 'Black kids'.
마크 : 날아다니는 아이들
[Mark: 'Flying idols']
잭슨 : 블랙 프리덤
[Jackson: 'Black freedom']
JB : 힙돌, 힙돌.
[JB: 'Hip-dol', 'hip-dol']

OP would like to point out that Jackson is proficient in English and his education level is "completed 11th grade at American International School".

EDIT: OP would also like to point out that the above statement isn't a "he should know better because he knows English", it's to point out that he knew what he was saying and wasn't shouting out random English words like a lot of other idols who aren't fluent in English. Thank you ^^

What the frak?

Uh okay... so what do y'all think of sex on legs Jackson now? lol

(He's was always the least attractive guy in the group for me, tbh. I didn't get everyone orgasming over him really.)

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

well this must be some sort of record!!

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

Oh god...

What's especially hilarious is that they're not remotely hip hop.

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

h8 h8 h8 how some groups just like to stamp their self with "hip hop" and expect us to believe that shit

nah B

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

i am disappointed

[gee.livejournal.com]

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I'm so sad and frustrated right now. I feel like I have to brace myself every time a K-Pop group debuts with a hip-hop/rap/R&B concept and it sucks.

[daisyazul.livejournal.com]

Whyyyyyyy. I'm so disappointed.

[gardevoiir.livejournal.com]

lol welp good thing I didn't let myself get emotionally invested in this group

Jr...Thank You For Remaining Flawless

I was JUST bitching about this in the other article.

Long story short this GOT7 fan on Twitter tried to tell me "Exotics" were spreading a false translation and were lying and I should read the article to see the truth. I told her NGTFT to lie about a translation but I was annoyed and went to look for it.

It's in the article clear as fucking day and Jackson uses ENGLISH OR KONGLISH (based on how it's written) to say it so there is no translation confusion

Ugh...annoying ass fans...also annoyed at JB's Black Soul comment but I blame JYP's Asian Soul BS

i'm not defending any of the shit they said, or the fandom defending them, because it is all very ridiculous, but i do have to admit that i saw some exo stans being way too gleeful over this, to the point that was disconcerting.

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

shaking my head at this dumb fuck and his ass. and damn he might of won the award for the idol who fucked up the fastest after their debut

[921227.livejournal.com]

I was indifferent to him, but now I don't care for him. A lot. And JB gets knocked down a little for thinking 'black soul' is an ok name

[dc222.livejournal.com]

I honestly didn't see why people were riding his dick so hard after WIN, tbh.
I started feeling like I had no taste. Now I'm glad I was okay in my initial assessment.

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

This must be a record or smth. Damn

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

and can ya'll hop off his dick now pls ty
he doesn't deserve this much love after this

#SAVEJR

[camified.livejournal.com]

just a heads up op, my trans differ from those in the sources you posted

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

Yup, realized and credited you too. Thanks for the translation!

[lovelivelife1.livejournal.com]

Jackson was always my least fave smh

JB ahh I still love you but no to that comment

[dc222.livejournal.com]

I give JB an "oppar didn't mean it" pass for that one since "black soul" isn't inherently offensive or racist and at the very least relates to music.

But Jackson's names make no practical sense other than being inappropriate stupidity.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Obviously getting education from an American school system didn't do shit because....there's this, there's that thing that happened at ASU.

Sigh. Gettin' real tired.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

What happened at ASU? Jw

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

wow congrats. too bad korea wont give a fuck about this

[martha-sal.livejournal.com]

+1 they'll lose some international fans and omona won't like them but overall I think they'll do just fine in SK
