2020-06-01 21:19:51 +0000 UTCPS - thanks for scheduling the After Show a day later as it gives us time to watch the original show when we have time individually, plus we can plan ahead to be available for the live- instead of just trying to drop everything because it’s suddenly happening.

2020-06-01 20:35:59 +0000 UTCI just received an email from Patreon that they are going to start taxing our donations here. That’s too bad... will you guys address that sometime soon? Taxing starts July 1st.

2020-06-01 18:48:23 +0000 UTCHi, I'm looking forward to this discussion. On the Suga issue, I personally would have preferred the apology to come from Suga himself. At first when I heard about the controversy, I wondered if Suga may have thought the sample was from Jim Jones the rapper. But then I said nah, everyone knows who Jim Jones the cult leader is. But then from watching your episode, I realize that not everyone knows Jim Jones the cult leader. So now I'm going back to my original thought, maybe they thought it was a sample from Jim Jones the rapper? But, it was a mistake and I really would have preferred to hear from Suga himself as he is the artist. On the BLM issue. I appreciate Korean and Korean American artists support. However, I think some people are being a little too demanding. ARMY is on twitter pressuring people not to trend hashtags so that BLM awareness can increase. That's very nice, but at the same time, Twitter ARMY is becoming a bit too aggressive with this issue and causing more division than unity. Lastly, I know you've said that for someone overseas to invest in the Korean stock market is difficult but I'm willing to try. I know it may be risky but I'm willing to take the chance. See you later. I'm in NYC so it will be midnight for me.

2020-06-01 18:37:58 +0000 UTCCan you give insights or parallels and aspects of crimes against humanity across the world? These are deep seeded issues since the beginning of time and no race, culture, or ethnicity has been immune but fundamentally isn't the answer infantile? First do no harm? You both as South Korean men have served your country (with no choice) because of human atrocities carried out before you were even born, Grave atrocities are inflicted on man-kind every day, male idols in particular I think "GET IT" way more than they are given credit for, South Korean men all must serve in the military because South Korea is still technically in a civil war right? These men don't even have luxury of choosing to serve like men in the US do, no matter what the capacity of service they do, North Korean children don't even thrive the way South Korean children do because of basic food and medical care. These are HUMANITARIAN ISSUES and there aren't easy answers to any of these questions. That's why they are still happening. We as humans allow children to starve and people to be ruled and dictated over. US citizens don't have the answers or knowledge to fix those issues anymore than South Korean idols have the answers to fix racism in the US. I think the start of fixing humanitarian issues lies in the fundamental differences of right and wrong that parents teach there children at HOME. You must be responsible for your actions and teach your children and those around

2020-06-01 17:36:02 +0000 UTC1. Big Hit may have assumed Yoongi did his own research as it was his individual project and his songs are his personal message, and thus not fact-checked it themselves. Yoongi may have innocently used the sample. However, they both knew the global reach the music would procure, as well as the level of responsibility Yoongi holds by his own standards and the company’s standards - not to mention Korean society in general holds famous people to a perfection standard. They should have a policy if fact-checking EVERYTHING. I can accept that it was a mistake on Yoongi and Big Hit’s part - but let’s not pretend that they “didn’t know better.” They do know better, and in this case they failed. So apologize and own it, and in the future- don’t skip the fact-checkers. The shame is temporary, and less painful in the end if taken head on. Question: BTS rarely personally addresses scandals publicly. That policy is good for the usual “rumor” scandals. But this? Should Yoongi have personally admitted fault publicly and apologized, as Namjoon did for “Expensive Girl”? Big Hit did great with quick response, admitting fault and fixing the problem. But what about Yoongi? 2. Maybe Danny’s prediction is right - Blackpink won’t make an actual comeback on time... instead they’ll just release solos? And hope that appeases the masses? 3. BLM - George Floyd was murdered, by four policemen (one kneeling in his neck, 3 complicity watched who threatened onlookers who wanted to intervene), on camera, while he and onlookers begged for mercy. But it’s not just about him - he is “the straw that broke the camel’s back” in a list of atrocities our black brothers and sisters have experienced at the hands of police. Just as the military regimes in Korea systematically abused their police power, so it is systematic here. The tipping point has come - just as we will never be the same after COVID19, white Americans will no longer be able to pretend they do not see the blatant racism their silence perpetuates. Trevor Noah did an EXCELLENT summary of the big picture in the below video. As a large portion of DKDKTV’s audience is American, please watch it for better understanding of our situation here. I would call it the best, most concise “explain” video so far: https://youtu.be/v4amCfVbA_c

2020-06-01 15:22:09 +0000 UTCI think speaking out and supporting Black Lives Matter movement is a good thing. If an artist or person doesn't know much about it they can offer their support by saying that they are listening. In fact to say you are listening is incredibly powerful start for people who may not be expierencing racial discrimination in their personal life.

2020-06-01 15:16:45 +0000 UTCThere are almost 8 BILLION people in the world. Man-kind has committed brutal acts of violence against each other since the beginning of time. To take these atrocities and lay them at the feet of BTS and demand them to address it is a tremendous burden and not appropriate, considering their global power just one word taken out of context & distorted has the potential to fuel the flames of rage & incite more damage. Their support of social issues plaguing society is layered deeply in their music and is the foundation and inspiration behind it. It is the responsibility of man-kind as a whole to fix the atrocities we inflict on each not BTS, they already live under a microscope where everything they say and do is analyzed, the Jim Jones controversy is exactly why making any statement can have the opposite intended outcome. If humanity needs a celebrity to tell them how to use their concious there lays the issue. Why people think BTS or any celebrity or human for that matter can utter a few words and those words magically fix a humanitarian issue is mind-boggling.
