SF9's Dawon told why his dreads are offensive, listens(?) but then Rowoon wears dreads wig anyways

Rowoon and Dawon in recent tweet (apparently as part of a promise they made for getting nominated):

안녕하세요 판타지 여러분 많이 당황하셨죠~~ 오늘 더쇼 무대 챙겨보셨나요? 저번주에 더쇼 1위후보가 되어서 국주선배님과 함께했던 라디오에서 했던 공약 지켰습니다! 이쁘게 봐주세요 ❣️ pic.twitter.com/GZdvJOeugS

This is despite this previous fanaccount of the OP trying to explain to Dawon at a fansign + the official SF9 twitter posting his cut-off dreads supposedly in response to this:

so i had asked him whether he saw the comments online about his hair and he said yes... then he said I don’t care about what people have to say! i said something like “do you think they don’t like it cause of the way it looks” and he was like “yeah and i just ignore it”

appropriation cause that’s basically it.. it’s really offensive and then i got told to move on and as i was moving he said “i want to change it now!! I really want to change it!!”

disappointed in them but not at all surprised. even that post with the cut off dreads like that’s hardly the tone of pics you would post if you actually realised what you did was wrong.

i’m really sick of idols purposefully misunderstanding people not liking them wearing dreads for legitimate reasons as ‘they think i look ugly with dreads’. there’s no way they don’t see/hear comments relating to the cultural appropriation and just ignore them cause it’s easier putting it down to ‘haters’ not liking how they look.

Yassssssssssss! Preach it!

Is this group full of idiots? Someone tried to explain it to Dawon in person, most replies under those tweets are telling them that that's not okay, so there's no way they don't know people are upset. You'd think they'd stop for the sake of not losing fans. I don't know how many korean fans brought up this issue but I doubt it was /only/ international fans. They just don't give a shit... it's infuriating.

Wow even after that fan went out of her way to explain what was wrong with it. Fuck them

These dummies

I was just getting into sf9 tooooo

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

the post with them cutting the dread looks like they're making a joke, it's infuriating me almost as much as him with dreads. wtf

not surprised at all. at this time and age, I can't believe idols don't know the reasons why people are calling them out, not when they know about every inside fandom joke. they just don't give a f*** unless they start to lose real money.
