When photographers said mean things about Stray Kids, K-netizens didn’t stay quiet. They stood up for the group online. Let’s see how they show support and speak out against disrespectful comments.
K-Netizens Speak Out Against Photographers’ Disparaging Comments Towards Stray Kids
The fans of K-pop have lately been in a frenzy when it was discovered that photographers were making derogatory comments to the Stray Kids on camera.
Stray Kids created history as the first K-pop group to attend the Met Gala together. Even though the young men received a lot of attention for their combined presence at the prestigious Met Gala, many people took notice of the racist comments directed towards Stray Kids.
Many K-pop fans expressed their outrage and disapproved of the paparazzi’s unethical behavior when a video went viral.

Korean internet users were upset and shared their unhappiness by commenting the following:
“This is absolutely not something to laugh about. They weren’t discriminated against because they’re short; it’s because they’re Asian guys. When they were told to jump, it wasn’t because they were short and couldn’t be seen; rather, it felt more like they were being told to make a spectacle. One person allegedly said ‘I feel like I’m going to catch COVID,’ they were laughing while saying, ‘Speak Korean properly’ smh.“
“They’re blatantly discriminating them like that…When they hear ‘K-pop idols’, they immediately look down on them. They don’t like it when K-pop idols flood their parties.”
“Those racist guys did the same to BTS before.”
“When they watch the video, it’s not about being short, it’s more like, ‘Come on, dance!’ or ‘Show us some performance!’ And they’re complaining their expressions are so robotic, and they act like they’re going to catch COVID, coughing and all… They distance themselves and completely ignore them, treating them like clowns. It feels like they’re saying, ‘Everybody jump!’ while laughing.”
