Hong Seok Cheon is coming to SBS’ Healing Camp.
SBS confirmed reports on January 17 that the entertainer had agreed to sit down and be interviewed on Healing Camp.
It will mark Hong Seok Cheon’s first appearance in an exclusive talk show program on a major broadcasting station and the celebrity will frankly discuss his life, how he came to publicly declare his sexual orientation and the response from the public since then.
Hong Seok Cheon is a model, actor and entrepreneur who made ripples in the Korean entertainment industry in 2000 after becoming one of the first Korean stars to publicly come out as being gay.
His recording for Healing Camp will take place on January 23.

Date: 2013-01-18 04:34 am (UTC)I don't know if the fact that he's been invited to shows lately means that the public is becoming more understanding but I'm looking forward to this.

Date: 2013-01-18 05:40 pm (UTC)And, well, none of these Korean stars have had repercussions for their cultural insensitivities and racism so I don't quite understand your point...

Date: 2013-01-18 06:16 pm (UTC)And as a huge BB fan, I totally understand what you mean. Specifically as a Black BB fan, I reallllllly get what you mean.
But it seems perfectly fine for k-pop idols to be huge racists or sexists or homophobes without anything really happening.
Totally. I mean, look at the people who are being harmed by these racist and homophobic acts. They’re already extremely marginalized groups that many members here and in other parts of the internet don’t identify as. Why should people care if it doesn’t directly effect them? It’s difficult and exhausting to talk about this shit and people are so damn lazy.

Date: 2013-01-18 05:47 pm (UTC)i am curious too. and i don't want to 'academise' this but it's weird that in both this and blackface in korean media it's almost like there's this... uncritical adoption of white american media tropes, is this an actual thing in korean media/culture and could neo-imperialism be partly responsible...
