EXO's D.O. makes colorist joke

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

EXO is making an appearance on MBC's Star Show 360. In the preview you can see the members doing different tasks and D.O. is supposed to draw caricatures of the members. He paints Kai's face black.

so which exo member hasn't made a gross sexist/racist/homophobic/colorist comment now? probably 0

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Chen? I haven't heard anything from him at least. Then again, I don't actually follow EXO.

So much for that pedestal people kept putting him on, huh.

sadly that kind of thing applies to all fandoms. not everyone is as exposed to these kinds of issues and a lot of kids are trapped in their own little bubble smh.

i'm really disappointed.

besides the fact that jongin has said multiple times how much he doesn't like those jokes (and he shouldn't even have to say he doesn't like them! these jokes shouldn't be made in the first place.), it's just wrong.

i hope he learns why this is wrong, but i'm sure he won't.

[au9042.livejournal.com]

Sadly they never learn...and they don't even see their wrongs.

He's my bias, always been, but there aren't excuses for his actions. I'm really disappointed too.

i'm so disappointed ugh

[afrozenflowerr.livejournal.com]

:/ I thought they would stop this shit by now. So disappointed.

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I never invested my time and emotion into EXO but even I'm shocked this is coming from him. So disappointed

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

i somehow expected better of him and all of them to be over these 'jokes' by now. they're grown men this is not cute, esp since kai said he doesn't like the jokes

No idol is safe y'all.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

very true

That's horrible and I feel so sorry for Kai that he is always the butt of (colourist) jokes, even though he has said multiple times that this hurts him.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

they really don't care about his feelings at all

[nixx0-0.livejournal.com]

OH COME ON NOW, SMFH.

Kyungsoo, why? Why was this okay? Why is this always okay to any idol??

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

i mean, he's laughed at other member's colorist comments before so idk why people are acting like this is a surprise

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Srsly the selective memory over Ksoo and Xiumin have always been astounding to me

[zuznay.livejournal.com]

still?

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

c'mon, man..

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

Bye y'all, deleting my account.

But seriously, I'm extremely disgusted and disappointed... especially since it came from him. I know that you shouldn't expect too much but I truly thought he wasn't the type to say something like this. Not because I thought too highly of him, but because he'd gone so long without making one. It seems like something that would've been more obvious before now, afaik he hasn't before.

No hope that he'll actually learn a lesson from this either, I'm sure there's a queue of fans waiting to excuse this already.

ETA: Really, aside from the fact that it's a gross colourist comment, Kai's supposed to his (close?) friend and has said these types of comments hurt him. What kind of an asshole do you have to be to continue doing something that you know hurts someone close to you?

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

it wasn't actually ksoo sm made him do it to distract us from the truth that KAISOO IS REAL

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

yep

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

I thought he knew better... Smh

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i don't understand they haven't educated themselves around this issue... at least sm could educate them? i just don't get that this is still happening because i feel they (and other idols for that matter) have been called out by fans (and kai himself!) for so long, why keep doing it then?
???? much confusion

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i don't think sm's bound to anything when they probably have the same ideals about ~whiter skintone being better~

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

The fact that they continue to make jokes about it after Kai says he says he hates it.

I always feel so bad for the members of any group who have to keep putting up with this shit.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I thought every member had made colorist comments about Kai? I'm way more shocked that this appears to be the first time.

Still trash either way.

[kanji00.livejournal.com]

most relatable comment :/

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

I'm actually more surprised that people seem shocked that he finally fucked up. The only person in kpop that would surprise me at this point is like Eric Nam. I literally don't expect anything from anyone anymore.

[kashchanocchi.livejournal.com]

as a kyungsoo stan i have nothing to shield him with so... it sucks but he did this to himself lol

edit: I'm still really surprised/disappointed because you'd think with all these "Kaisoo is real!!!" that Jongin would actually tell Kyungsoo about how he feels about the comments???

*sigh* my fav is problematic
