News the boyz’s kevin under heavy criticism for making racist remarks against asians (1 Viewer)

[izcream]

THE BOYZ‘s Kevin has recently faced controversy and heavy criticism after a past video resurfaced of him allegedly making racist remarks against Asians.

In the YouTube video in question, Keven used a filter that altered his face and joked around in front of the camera.

But during the video, Kevin made remarks such as “I look so Asian” and pulled his eyes to the sides of his face and joked, “My name is ching chong bing bong.”

The expression “ching chong bing bong” is often used by Westerners when they describe the way Asians speak in a derogatory manner.

Kevin is a citizen of Canada, and although he was born in Korea he immigrated at an early age.

While referring to himself as “looking Asian” isn’t enough to be criticized, many are attacking the idol for using the “ching chong bing bong” expression, especially during a time when protests regarding racism are the topic of conversation in both the US as well as other parts of the world.

how ironic lmao he was born in korea but claims that he isnt asian because he migrated to canada at a young age

 

[izcream]

the article didn't state his age but he looks pretty young in the picture

H-he's Asian though I would understandif he's not asian but doesn't it seem like he was being ironic rather than racist? Why would he be racist towards his own race?

Also, he didn't make the remark recently either... It looks like a really old video.

Look, if you gonna 'cancel' Kevin Moon of all people, then just cancel all of kpop and be done with it.
There's gigabytes of his predebut videos online, from when he was a child till now, basicaly, you won't find an idol with more predebut material available. Believe it or not, that guy is more woke and funny than 95% of other male idols combined

H-he's Asian though I would understandif he's not asian but doesn't it seem like he was being ironic rather than racist? Why would he be racist towards his own race?

A voice of reason^
Also, I posted that whole vid here ages ago (now it appears to be deleted), and folks found it funny (well, it is funny, it's a damn comedy sketch), but now it's 'problematic' cause an article says so, ey? We're becoming The Borg, I swear

 

[eclipsoul]

it looks like it was a long time ago, honestly i see no point in bringing this up now.

 

[blueberries]

I thought it was about certain ethnicities not just towards his own race in general. Eh, isn't it pretty common for person to make fun of their own race and heritage? I wouldn't make it big deal...

especially during a time when protests regarding racism are the topic of conversation in both the US as well as other parts of the world.

I'm sorry but how is this applicable when the video is so old LOL

People just like having something to be pissed off at, I swear!

[spicy_illusion]

[QueenB]

Do people not make fun of their own race? I literally make basic white girl jokes all the time about myself lmao

Oohoohoo! The Boyz are getting in a lot of shit lately!

Well they did just win kingdom so I guess we should expect more to come

 

[dark_tranquility]

My brother does this all the time and he is Asian. He has self hate bad. : / Probably in denial about his roots or just an irony gone wrong.

 

[JJbaker]

this is stupid tbh
it not racist... he is asian...
plus a child there
we have all taken the piss of our own race at some point or another
if he was any other race or even mixed i would get it
but this seems a bit far fetch to me

 

[izcream]

like literally everyone hasnt done the thing where u stretch out ur lids with ur fingers so u get asian eyes, give me a break
