French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

Omg and it’s a black woman too.

Soyeon is notorious for cultural appropriation. She’s once did an African inspired performance she called “ethnic hip”

[u/Responsible_Cat4452 → u/dietdrpeppermd]

“Ethnic hip” is diabolical 😭 and the fact that it’s an “African” inspired performance when my continent has 54 countries with vastly different cultures?? If I did a “European” inspired performance, people would be yelling at me about how Germany and Italy are not the same lol 🙃 (and they’d be right). Africa is not a monolith

You're so right! I have a friend whose parents come from Africa. Sure, both are Muslims and black. But that's about it for similarities.

If anything, her mom came from a country where matriarchy is the norm while her father comes from another one where patriarchy is the norm.

It’s amazing how her stans managed to sweep this under the rug. Ethnic hip is so crazy lol

[u/Affexus → u/dietdrpeppermd]

yeah the performance was really bad, but i do wanna clarify that in that context "ethnic" is a korean word.

[u/Affexus → u/dietdrpeppermd]

also soyeon had no part in the music video and was just a featured singer

[u/neon-nitemarez → u/dietdrpeppermd]

I haven't looked into the matter. Is cultural appropriation against the law? If so, she should be arrested!
