Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Justin Bieber was recently spotted wearing a brand that K-pop stars wear, so there were only two logical reactions to that:
1) Flip out on Justin Bieber for trying to infiltrate/leech off of K-pop.
2) Claim Justin Bieber was influenced by K-pop.
Superstar Justin Bieber is receiving attention for being seen sporting accessories that were made popular by K-pop idols from Korean luxury brand, MCM.
What?
MCM isn’t a Korean brand. It’s a German brand with a Korean CEO that still uses a German designer. It’s not like Justin Bieber was using Skin Food or something.
The photos show Justin Bieber comfortably wearing black and red training wear with a white MCM Stark backpack to match. Bieber was also seen wearing a camel colored backpack of the same brand along with his yellow hat and pink headphones. The backpacks retail for around $900 USD to $1200 USD.
MCM stated, “Justin Bieber is just one of the Hollywood stars who wear our apparel. It is worn at official events as well as for everyday wear.”
Numerous Korean idol group members along with Korean athletes made these items popular as they have rocked MCM’s accessories many times as part of their airport fashion.
So the connection that is trying to be made here is that the Hallyu Wave has even spread to influence America’s top idol.
The problem is that it’s like saying that SNSD endorses Intel, and since Eminem has a computer that uses Intel, SNSD has therefore left an indelible mark on the hip-hop map.
You’re welcome, Korean media, I just gave you your next news story.
Journalismism.

Of course, the mouth-breathing sheep in the comments section at allkpop not only ate up the connection between K-pop and Bieber, but then got pissed at Bieber for daring to try to steal off K-pop’s fame.
Yes, whatever will he do without the approval of K-pop fans?
I’ve said this before, but I will never understand the hatred K-pop fans have for him, especially considering that he’s basically in the same category. He’s complete with the “swag coach”, the made-for-TV personality, and all that other nonsense. A manufactured star with passable talent meant to appeal to tweens and make the companies that own him gobs of money … sound familiar?

Most K-pop fans are basically hipster Beliebers anyway (“Do you listen to K-pop? Nah, you’ve probably never heard of it.“), so their comments regarding him effectively spray their own vitriol back on themselves like they were pissing upwind or something.
Exactly how far gone from logical thinking do you have to be?
It’s something I’d prefer not to find out.
I hope the intl Kpop fans it’s mainly them that seem to not like Bieber… not the WHOLE Kpop fandom, which is originally in Korea *sighs* How is he taking Kpop fashion if it’s used
Anywho, that whole article was so dumb -___- I’m not gonna get into my rant of it lol. Just those comments being posted are just… *shakes head*
Korean and Asia love the guy which is funny since the koreaboos hate him~
After School Nana said Beiber is her type and BEAST said on one of their variety show they like listening to Beiber during car ride and then go on to sing Baby lol
If Nana likes him, then I hate him.
AMIRITE
Yes, it’s just international fans, because we’ve been trained to hate him.
I think I need to go back to AKP just to troll those imbecile fucktards. Was always a blast.
LET US JOIN FORCES IN AN EPIC TROLLING OF ALLKPOP FUCKTARDS!!!!!

Can I be the perverted power ranger?
AS LONG AS I CHOOSE THE NAMES!!!! I call dibs on Georgia O’Queef, you can be Queen Elizatits, my big-boobed sidekick.
Together, we shall rid the world of delusional, hypocritical fucktards and shine a light on the smarter parts of the population that go unnoticed

ahahhaa, deal! Also you can tittyfuck my “Elizatits”
I’m down
Take screencaps for us to laugh at later!!!
What the hell is airport fashion? Do people really dress up to go to their destination or is it just casual clothing that people misinterpret as “fashion”?
I still rate Justin Bieber higher on the talent list than k-pop groups though, at least he’s solo and god damn popular at that.
Yep – they strut through the airport in those tiny little shorts and massive heals and as soon as they’re on the plane they rush to the bogs and change into big, ol’ grey sweatpants. I think it’s a little silly.
I would hope so. Nobody wants to sit on a plane for six hours in fucking nice clothes.
“Airport fashion” is whatever celebrities wear to the airport.
So now they have to dress-up to get jetlag. Sounds wonderful, right?
id fuck justin bieber…im just saying.
to videotape and show it to his fangirls to enjoy the party?
I WANT THAT STARK VISETOS BACKPACK SOOOOOOOOOO BADLY </3
LOL oh my god such idiots.
And it’s funny too, since the biggest haters of Justin Bieber tend to be the ones who stan idol groups that are most similar to him, like teen top, b1a4 etc.
I don’t mind Justin Bieber at all. He has quite a few catchy songs.
:O
THIS. Justin Bieber = the American one-man act of B1A4. I’ll just leave this here though. BANAs be cray cray.
I really, really like you.

“The problem is that it’s like saying that SNSD endorses Intel, and since Eminem has a computer that uses Intel, SNSD has therefore left an indelible mark on the hip-hop map.”
THIS IS HILARIOUS.
But seriously, I don’t get why K-Pop fans think they’re so above anyone who listens to western music, as if they have refined music tastes the same way a hobo drinking a bottle of 40 wouldn’t appreciate the taste of fine, aged wine. It’s all pop, for goodness sakes.
Besides, K-Pop is heavily influenced by whatever happens in western music so bashing the very genre that their unnirs and oppars look to for inspiration and guidance in their own music is hilarious. But apparently, telling your average K-Pop fan something like this is like telling a three year old Santa doesn’t exist. Let the mayhem ensue.
“Besides, K-Pop is heavily influenced by whatever happens in western music so bashing the very genre that their unnirs and oppars look to for inspiration and guidance in their own music is hilarious.”
Not only that, they’re always covering Western songs (and fans acting like they outsing the original ALL the time) so why even bash Western music while those idols, themselves, are singing it 24/7? -____-
Indeed.
I listen to kpop/mandopop/jpop often and on a regular basis, but I listen to American music just as much.
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS THE SAME.
Honestly, most kpop/mandopop/jpop of a certain genre doesn’t sound all that different from it’s american counterpart.
I will never understand kpop supremacists.
LOL, pop music is pop music. No matter wherever it came from. Get that in your head. orz
Kpop supremacists are like certain catholics who exaggerate stuff. (I said certain, there are some who are rational). I swear, Kpop is a religion.
And you know what’s even more funny, is that if someone said they like American music better and though it was better than kpop for what ever reason people would be so quick to call them racist and ignorant. But when kpop fans do it its apparently a valid opinion.
Do they just ignore the parts where K-pop idols say they idolize American artists?
I don’t get it.
I cannot wait for the oppars an unnirs to tell these people to drink the cool aid, I’ll help with clean up of the bodies.

Korea needs to stop clinging to everything western, especially since they then go back and act like Kpop is better.
I don’t give two fucks about Biebs. Shit, not even one. But to say he’s copying “fashion” that doesn’t belong to no f-ing body but the designers who made the clothes, and comparing someone that has world status and bringing home the millions to a majority of people in a certain country with mediocre talent and little to no relevance outside of it? Bitch please.
Kpop is the one that needs acceptance of western pop if anything. You can’t tell these cock riding bastards nothing though.
The fans can’t do their damn research, assuming things that make no sense and they need to stop whatever they’re taking, LSD, magic mushroom, whatever.
JUST because a Korean start wears a brand DOESN’T mean they created it.
Plus, 99.9% of the time, their “fashion” is horrible.
Well I was one of those akpers that knew better. We all knew it was a German brand not only that a lot of us defended it. I think Kpop mooches off of Germany a lot.
oh rly? what kind of style did they get from Germany?
Maybe something like this? http://i49.tinypic.com/dqpx7t.jpg
Should go with this style the next time – this is how they’ll really shock everybody, not with the boy-prostitute-getting-ready-in-flower-beds-look.
God bless my allmighty paint skills (also I didn’t bother to edit Key and Taemin – way too drunk and lazy).
I fucking love stereotypes.
J-pop loves Germany and Italy.

LOL. That was awesome.
I don’t like Justin Bieber himself, because he’s an arrogant little douchebag (although when you’re that famous, what can you expect), and I’m just not attracted to him. When he had his long hair, he looked exactly like this old high school photo of my mom. Fucking creepy as hell. >_>
His songs are okay, though.
He’s probably not, he’s just trained that way.
Trained that way?
He has a swagger coach. He’s produced to act a certain way to appeal to an audience.
Idk, I think some of it’s natural. But then, most guys his age are douches. :))

Taemin is fucking flawless.
Amen
Damn this is genius, I’ll make an adam for adam account for taemin, sungjong and ren

That’s an awesome idea. Let’s flood all the gay sites with profiles of kpop artists.
Fangirls would freak the fuck out – that’d be hilarious.
Oh my.
I doubt Justin Bieber even knows what kpop is. Seriously though the journalism coming out of Korea doesn’t seem to be really good. They have the most random stories.
A kpop fan on tumblr also claimed he was copying off G-dragon for getting a tattoo in the same spot G-dragon has one.
http://www.twirlit.com/2012/06/22/justin-bieber-shows-off-new-tattoo-on-late-show-with-david-letterman/
I mean really…I didn’t know GD owned that spot. Kpop fans are really too much sometimes, why do they think anyone outside their some kpop world knows about. I mean I’m clearly into kpop but I don’t follow their fashion so even I wouldn’t have pay attention to this and they think Justin Bieber pays attention to what Kikwang and some other idols wear. Besides that its just a backpack, it doesn’t belong to them! They sound ridiculous.
Next whoever smokes weed is copying G-dragon and whoever fail at baseball is copying Jesica…. I’m sure Ellen Degeneres is copying Amber’s fashion and Yuri’s lesbianism
GDI that was funny.
Cheesy fucking tattoo. Just like his music
*swagswagswagswag*
+1
The person I am replying too just talked and Justin’s cheesy tattoo and music, he didn’t say anything about GD.
Oops. Meant that as a reply to Cekay.
I agree, but that doesn’t mean he is copying GD.
That’s the point they’re making
They? Im replying to one person in particular. The person I am replying to (dsites00) just talked and Justin’s cheesy tattoo and music, he said nothing about GD, and I reply to that one person by saying I agree that yes Justin Bieber’s tattoo is pretty cheesy and so is his music but that doesn’t mean he is copying GD.
I never said JB was copying GD .____________.
I know, Im not saying that you did. I basically was saying that I agree with you, the tattoo and his music are really cheesy, but despite that, that doesn’t mean that he copying GD like kpop fans were claiming he was. My words are getting twisted…
VIPs think bigbang owns basically everything because they’re so “original”, nothing new -_-
Trendsetters follow other trends, nothing original about that.
Omg. I remember reading this article on akp where fans were getting mad at this new rookie dude because hiss name is Taeyang.
Oh wait, here it is:http://www.allkpop.com/2012/01/chaoss-taeyang-changes-his-name-to-park-taeyang-due-to-fan-complaints
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5rspvxDIm1qzna3u.gif
Now everyone, let’s forget that this person’s REAL name is Taeyang, while Taeyang’s real name isn’t even Taeyang. Let’s just forget that you don’t get to choose what name you’re born with, but you should be DAMNED TO HELL FOR STEALING MAH OPPA’S NAME.
lol yes i remember that, i also remember when they tried to claim dalmatian was copying taeyang because they got fake tattoos for their ER comeback o.O
The actual fuck?
I don’t understand all the JB hate from anyone. Personally, I only like One Time, but I do think he is a good singer and all. Kpop fans are like JB fans with all the hormonal worship and shit.
this is exactly what I dont like about kpop brainless fangirls, just because Bieber is wearing this brand now he is copying kpop OMG how stupid are this girls
Now JB wants to get into kpop yes because he doesn’t make enough money been a world star now he wants to be a kpop star lol
Just go to youtube and check his babyMV he has more than 700 million views I dont think big bang has that much :)
I like kpop I know the is not the best music or the best performance doesn’t have the most talented people but is fun to watch and I think someday can be really good and world class but with fans like this it will never grow
How can you be a Kpop star if you don’t even have a bit of Korean blood…? smh
You’d think Justin Bieber would have “that” much time with his schedules and doing whatever he’s doing with princess Selena? Nuh-uh.
Some people’s heads are too far up their asses.
LOL, allkpop users, thinking they got everything down and they’re correct. No. You’re. Not.
“UNNIR HAS MY BACK, SISTAR SAID SO. OPPAR LOVES ME. HE KNOWS I’M RIGHT.”
Nope, oppa and unnie don’t love you. They like sex, money and pretty girls/boys. SUCK ON THAT.
*end of rant*
er there are some non-koreans in kpop, like nichkhun victoria fei etc. a better thing to say would be non-asians in kpop.
I know some celebrities are from other Asian countries, but like the fans were basically saying JB was trying to be a Kpop star. I was referring to that, not the others but yeah lol.
Feminine guy, saying “baby” every two seconds in his songs and making tweens wet their panties while acting like, what it seems to everyone else, an idiot.
Kpop idols and Justino Castor, they both fit in that definition
Here’s a newflash to people in AKP: Pop = pop
I totally called this is another Asian junkie thread.
K-pop owns everything ever including that purse and pop music.

Ew, kinda sloppy.
“so their comments regarding him effectively spray their own vitriol back on themselves like they were pissing upwind or something.”
You are so colorful :)
To be honest, I have nothing against Bieber. It’s his fans that scare the shit out of me.
Can we just all smack all the non-sense delusional kpop fans?
