The global music industry was recently rocked by an unexpected collaboration between three artists - Travis Scott, Bad Bunny, and The Weeknd.
Their collaborative track, provocatively titled 'KPOP,' has sparked a reaction among Korean netizens. As soon as the collaboration was released, many netizens took to social media and online communities to debate the album cover art that was revealed.
Then on July 20, a part of the lyrics was revealed, adding fuel to the debate.
[Travis Scott]
Swish, lit (Lit)
Move like she got hip (Hip)
You fall off on set (Skrrt)
Fallin' off, but I got grip (Grip)
All around the trap, it hit (Hit)
All around the back, you trips
Take it like nine to ten (Yeah)
Baby gon' fall in again...
[Bad Bunny]
...je
Va a joderle y va de nuevo
Baby, yo te lo meto, es que tú tiene' fuego
Como aquello' tiempo' de camino a Maya
Tú ere' una bitchy bien loca, bebé
Solo tengo tu...
Tú bien loca, loca, yo bien loco, loco
Si es que tu mai nos pilla, me pide una foto
La nota me explota, yo el dinero exploto
Y aunque acá hayan mucha' bailando, yo te invoco
[The Weeknd]
Love me, get it when you wanna love me
Innocent, you don't mean it
Have sex up until I'm leavin'
You don't think she don't want me?
Blow my shit 'cause I'm heartless
Even though she don't mean it
You don't...
The lyrics were quickly translated into Korean and shared on various Korean online communities where many Korean netizens criticized the distasteful and lewd message.
Korean netizens commented, "They were definitely using the title to gain some clout. After the title was revealed K-pop fans would definitely stream the song now," "They're so low," "The lyrics are disgusting," "They're just using the title to get attention, the lyrics has nothing to do with K-pop," "Why did they name the song 'KPOP'?" "Why would anyone want to lyrics as low as that?" "What is going on with the Weeknd?" "He such an attention seeker," "What's wrong with them?" "Geez, such disgusting lyrics," and "It seems like the Weeknd is someone who crazily wants to be embroiled in controversy."
