I grew up listening to K-pop since I was very little, and the quick transition in K-pop became very relevant to me. The good part of the transition is that many people around the world are becoming more interested in K-pop. The bad part is that K-pop is transitioning in a very sexualized way (particularly for female female artists/groups). K-pop's value in thinness and provocative style is rapidly catching on to the society that the younger generation in Korea is also valuing and reflecting weight and style as trendy. This is a major problem, and unless K-pop changes how it views and values music people will be affected by the social expectation. Overall, this video was created to advise the younger generations of Koreans in Korea, as well as new K-pop fans across the global, that they should be a bit more critical in the way that K-pop is impacting the way society views trends and images.
