Lion Heart 15,041 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 ... A white influencer has faced backlash on social media for claiming to ‘identify as Korean,’ after getting several surgeries to look more like their favourite member of BTS. Oli London, from the UK, has reportedly had more than 15 cosmetic surgeries since 2013 in an attempt to ‘look Korean.’ In a recent YouTube video, London said they identified as non-binary and Korean, and asked their followers to use the pronouns ‘they/them/Korean/Jimin.’ .... London’s posts have received huge backlash, with the influencer variously accused of racism, being disrespectful to Korean culture, and invalidating those who identify with non-binary pronouns. ‘You may fetishize koreans but you’ll never be a korean,’ one user commented, while another wrote ‘kinda makes us neopronoun users look a bit like a joke and i feel quite invalidated ngl,’ referring to the use of Ze/Zir as non-traditional pronouns indicating gender neutrality. ‘Idc if they’re nonbinary, doesn’t change the fact that they’re a white person pulling this stupid s**t’ someone else wrote.

Kadikaado 4,302 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Reminds me of this: It was back in 2014, this brazilian guy decided to become korean after he studied in South Korea. I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerjs 6,096 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yeah we know of him lol. He’s actually out of his mind. He’s gotten lots of cosmetic surgery to make himself look “more korean”, specifically it all started with his obsession with Park Jimin of BTS. He started getting surgeries done to look more like him, then got into more and more delusion as time went on. Everyone in the kpop sphere hates him, he’s the worst. 🇨🇺🇧🇸 “It’s one banana, how much could it cost? $10?” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichAssPiss 5,045 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Not this again. Race, ethnicity, and gender are not the same. People from Korea or with Korean heritage are Korean. You cannot transition to be Korean. Gender is a universal experience as are femininity and masculinity. All people have experiences with these and have the right to express and identify with how they feel in relation to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
