To get a better idea of what they do in their rooms, I installed some hidden security cameras, and caught both my daughter AND son dancing to clips from the following KPop songs (Youtube shorts): https://youtu.be/fPQWcbEf37o?si=cdCZWpt91fCT-5Ko https://youtu.be/ZUsEgs1_nwg?si=PuMrE5XUx4bJTrNj https://youtu.be/8uu_pkaUm4c?si=FS5hcyhP5XJlfEbM What the hell is this and who are these Chinese-looking girls. Bollywood songs have much more powerful and meaningful beats and melodies. Background: We’re Indian (I’m from Chennai, mother tongue Tamil), and son and daughter were born and raised in the Bay Area. They are both currently in high school. My kids have been obsessed with KPop. Makes me mad because they completely gloss over our own domestic cultural prowess in Bollywood for some random East Asian cultural export 10 thousand miles away from India. They think that Bollywood backwards and unsophisticated- wtf? And KPop is supposed to be that much better? And their CLASSMATES too are all obsessed with Kpop - Indian, white, Chinese, Korean, etc. - none of these kids are listening to Bollywood, not even the desi kids. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Korean/Chinese kids dancing to Bollywood. So why are so many of our desi kids dancing to their stuff?😡
Chinese looking?? You lost me there man
OP has a point though. (I’m Korean btw) 장원영 Jang Wonyoung, the center/most-favored girl in the girl group (IVE) in the videos, currently the “it”-girl of 4th-gen KPop, is ethnically Chinese. 3rd-generation Chinese in Korea, to be completely accurate. 원영은 중국혈통 이란 말이야. Her roots from Shandong Province, according to the Korean thread below. https://www.teamblind.com/kr/post/장원영-중국-산둥성인거-많이-모르나3탄-4MMOYXkm
You’re unhinged, I feel bad for your kids
There are adults in India who grew up in India, who are crazy about K Pop. And here OP is breaking his head after birthing and bringing up his kids in a country which is the melting pot of cultures. The cognitive dissonance is real.
Completely unhinged. Feel sorry for your kids.
“Poo hoo! I raised my kids in America and they like things that are non-Indian!” Rage bait. And OP, TC or GTFO.
Can't believe this is not a troll post. Who fits hidden cameras in their high school kids' rooms?
This is a troll post lol, He is from Chennai and talking about Bollywood instead of Kollywood
With your mindset they shouldn’t even be looking at bollywood.
If it makes you feel better, I’m one of the few East Asians attending local Bollywood dance classes. It’s all a phase, but hey would you feel better if your kids were all Swifties?
Hidden cameras.. OMG are you crazy??? Your daughter one day will definitely need therapy for this shit. You have bigger problems.
