Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Today in K-pop idols being dumb and/or racist, during a recent concert in Macau, BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon was seen wearing a shirt that had the apparently the equivalent of the n-word in Dutch on it.
“Ronny, a horny hard [n-word] boy.”

You can see the shirt has a picture on the front as well.
In a way this is rather unsurprising given there’s history of this with him, and maybe like for rookie idols or something it could be seen as more being setup by the stylist. But for a veteran and guy who is as heavily involved with fashion as he is, this is simply negligence if not purposefully racist. While maybe there was hope he moved on from doing dumb stuff like this, apparently not.
Update
Okay, apparently he’s been wearing this for decades.
At least 2007, apparently. https://t.co/eLjFbtiJ1H
