Imitation vs. Ignorance

Posted by antisobriety-9 pts Monday, March 11, 2019

As a huge K variety and K pop fan that's African American I let a lot of things slide. The recent episode of Running Man Yang Se Chan does an impression of Greg that just didn''t sit well he's a musician that took the time and put in the effort to learn to sing in Korean. To be made light of because of his pronunciation seems oddly wrong. Is it just me or do other people feel that his effort was turned into a cheap laugh.

    Comedy is meant to shake you up. You laugh at half of the things watching Running Man and more than half is offensive. There's no limit to things they do, which amuses one, but this is what offends you? Oh, grow up.

    Making fun of how people talk in Korea is common and you can see that a loton variety . Not just Greg there are a lot of non-korean people they make fun of about the way they talk. So for korean and some non-korean as well they find it funny and normal.
