At a recent concert, MAMAMOO did brownface/blackface of the look Bruno Mars and crew sported for his “Uptown Funk” music video (well, Mark Ronson‘s but not really).

This is … kinda surprising considering I figured they learned their lesson after Hwasa dropped the n-word in a Beyonce cover. Guess not.
Before people inevitably rush to defend them for this for whatever convoluted reason, even some in the Korean fandom is calling this out (which is great).
인종차별은 절대 가볍게 넘어갈 문제가 아닙니다. 이번이 처음이 아닌 만큼 더욱더 많은 해외팬분들이 속상해 하시는 것 같습니다. RBW의 빠른 조치 부탁드립니다.

So it’s hard to use that “oh Koreans just don’t know” excuse at this point.
Not much to say, honestly. MAMAMOO clearly fucked up here and hopefully it’s addressed at some point and they learn from it.
