Sensitive [TW: Sexual References/Abuse] This has me worried ngl about Big Hit's future with trainee/idol problems (1 Viewer)

[Yili]

I couldn't find if anyone had made a thread before (it happened about a month ago) but there was a trainee in Big Hit who was called out for misogynistic and abusive lyrics in his raps that he performed in various stages recently for the Trainee A channel. Trainee A seems to post videos regarding the Big Hit predebut boys waiting for their group to debut.

What bothers me is that although they had him apologize and they did, these are recent videos and he is 19 years old AND even though the lyrics are in English since he is from Australia, it's not like you can justify that he didn't know what he was writing or referencing. In my opinion he should've been removed from the team immediately but he's still there. May sound harsh but we know about the history of what idols/Korean artists can get into when it comes to s*xual/domestic abuse, I don't want to take any chances when it comes to that. I am worried that Big Hit really didn't care about how very concerning his lyrics were and are more concerned about his talent or how popular he is.

I'm at a loss for words. There's no way he didn't know what he was writing. Not only does he have to be held accountable for his lyrics but whoever gave the green light for this to be performed, recorded, and uploaded

Im still confused, what was so misogynistic about his lyrics? Could someone please explain; I don’t understand🤔It sounded like he was just saying h0e and b!tch over and over again

when he is referencing the breathing part it can be understood as him beating her until she's unconscious/dead

that just made me super uncomfortable
he disgusts me and i dont even have to know who he is

 

[eclipsoul]

honestly the argument that he didn't know is laughable in this case because this is not even a cover but self written rap so how stupid do you have to be to include words you don't know the meaning of in your work? idc about trainee a but this is disgusting and they better get him off that group

Why did he put so much power/emotions into that performance, what girl broke his prepubescent heart so much for him to end up writing such lyrics

 

[Boyo]

Disgusting.

jail

The issue with this is just as you said about popularity due to big hit has had history with working with lyricists like this. This boy does need to be removed, but sadly I feel companies don’t actually care about these issues and feel that they can damage control with the basic, “They didn’t know what they were saying, or didn’t know” Companies ignore these issues because they know the fandoms they have will usually bury these issues, and force others to forget about them. The apology also is disregarded because this kid never apologized beforehand. Only when called out.

He can fuck off and shove that horrific song up his ass

Regardless of where he's from, I don't think one should try to justify stuff like this. He said what he said. This is distasteful.

I'm not good at explaining but I'll try the best I can.

A man referring to a woman as a hoe or a b!tch is quite misogynistic on its own in the first place.

''why that b1tch stopped breathing''
''fuck that hoe''
''took that b1tch to the store''

Not sure if it's about a person or whatever but if it is, it looks like he's referring to that girl as literal garbage and an object.
