I would say she should only open her mouth when she's singing but given how tragic her live vocals were for Bad Boy...

A refresher for her last impression of black women (with bonus "gangsta black man impression")

(from 14:43 onwards)

Also if I see one more person act like imitating a valley girl is on the same level as pushing the "aggressive, ghetto black woman" stereotype,Imma lose it.

joy's face on this thumbnail is killing me.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

oh no

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I could never really get into her, but I thought she had learned something but guess I was wrong...

Ugh this is so fucking disappointing

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

She looks stupid as fuck in that video. Racist and embarrassing.

[a-suitcase.livejournal.com]

Urghhhh. I didn't know about the 2014 incident, awful that she did it then and even worse that she's doing it now.

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

I mean I guess racist imitations are what you have to resort to if you're the least popular member of your group.

BYE GIRL

Luna would never!

[h0ly-ravioli.livejournal.com]

this is so disappointing, she should know better

I really like Joy but Wendy is the reason I never got into RV...so sick of idols doing this.

Like, she’s from North America?? And she didn’t learn the first time?? Girl wtf?

[seishin.livejournal.com]

Yea, she moved as a kid to a few Toronto suburbs and the US for school before moving back to Korea.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

JUUUST when I seemed to forget about the previous incident and become a full blown stan this happens. I hate when members do this because it ruins the whole group. I'm not trying to turn my back on Yeri though.

What I WILL say is how dare anyone tell black fans to not get offended over this. When are white people and non-black POC going to quit with that shit?

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Throw wendy out tbh.

[startthechase.livejournal.com]

So disappointing.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

Same yeri

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I see she has learned nothing since her previous imitation of Black people during RV’s debut period. She remains cancelled.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Well I got called a nigger and got told to go eat chicken when I said fuck you to her and everybody else up there and explained why she deserves that fuck you. Talk about defeating the purpose.

SO THAT'S HOW MY DAY IS GOING.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I'm not even surprised that you got this response because people remain trash.. Why is it that nigger is the first thing out of these peoples' mouths? They really are just chomping at the bit to say it.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

so ugly, i really hope she hears the criticisms and changes.
i don't know enough korean to understand what they were talking about, but according to the youtube comments she was saying "if you're a popular white girl you sound like [x] and if you're a popular black girl you sound like [x]"

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

the mc asks her if it's true that, like the regional dialects in Korea, there's a difference in how diff races speak English and she says yes... says if you're a popular white girl you speak like this, and if you're a popular black girl you speak like this, saying their (black ppl) expressions are like this (the pursed lips thing), and they use their bodies a lot like this (the finger and body wave thing).

and the dude says he notices how they (black ppl) use their bodies a lot when talking, and that they don't avoid eyes when confronting you (the subtitle while he's talking says "white english is more 'prim'", to top it off). then the MC asks them to go at it together in english, with the guy imitating a black man and her imitating a white girl.

MESS.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

I ignored red velvet in 2014 bc f(x) drama so I didn't know she did this.
Tbh fuck her for this

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

There's always one

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

wow smh. What I don’t understand is not too long ago she posted a cover of redbone on Instagram and replaced the n word with girl, so she knows this is wrong. yet she felt this was ok to do on national television?

or did she think international fans aren’t gonna check for this show so she thought she can get away with being racist?

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

typical sheltered suburban kid who thinks anti-black racism is relegated to dropping the n bomb and doesn't understand the many other (incredibly obvious) ways that it manifests. smh.

#herewegoagain

seriously, as a black girl who doesn't even act the way Wendy was acting, it's not cute, and will never be cute. she needs to stick to what she knows best: singing and being rv's english representative

[kenziekinz09.livejournal.com]

Yeri's coming for that English crown anyway

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

she's just reinforcing archaeic stereotypes im

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

😬i was rooting for you smh!! based on the fact that she hadn't done anything problematic since that thing 4 years ago i told myself that she had changed but apparently not. i hope the backlash reaches her so she can learn smth from it, but let's be real that usually never happens so i'm not keeping my fingers crossed.
it could be my stan googles talking but i don't want to believe she's a genuinely hateful person though. maybe i'm in denial, but yeah. i'm just.. rlly disappointed
