Hi guys! First off, I would like to thank you guys for allowing me the tools to look more into the world of being an English teacher in a foreign country, as I am an English major currently. More importantly though, I was wondering about the condition of your problematic behavior and if you all were working on that? As you both know, you are one of the pieces that international fans utilize as a medium to South Korea. Needless to say, we recognize ill behavior, and in the past it has been brought up to you all, though not well received as I remember.
The behavior in question entails but is not limited to slut-shaming female idols; the unnecessary and offensive use of the word "ghetto" (which is a disgusting cultural norm that already needs to stop); the ethnocentric and sometimes racist nature of your reviews/videos; the use of the word "pedonoona"; and so on. Again, this is not "hating", rather a request of response because as fans of Korean music, we care about the mediums that potential and other fans will be going through. That being said, you are not bad people, but problematic behavior needs to be acknowledged and if at all possible (and it is), fixed. Even by you guys. Thanks! Good luck with your cafe!
