Okay Iāve seen this wave of people on tumblr editing photos to ~make idols look like their natural color~ and honestly while whitewashing is a serious issue, however whatās more gross to me right now is a bunch of international kpop fans taking photos of idols who have a lot of makeup and lighting focused on them all the time and could possibly actually look like that on stage and in the eye of the public and randomly assigning our skin color on us as if you know better about what we and our skin color looks like. If itās a photo thatās been blatantly edited w photoshop to be whiter yeah there is a problem. But there is also a problem where intl kpop fans are literally talking over korean kpop fans and editing photos to make it look like what your image of we look like onto us.
That is gross beyond imagination to me. Issues of colorism and shadeism should be discussed within our community. It is not gonna be solved by a bunch of non Koreans telling us that they know what we āreallyā look like. That they know better about our skin tone than the actual people who have them.
Honestly? Thereās also a lot more variation to our skin tones than the standard, oh letās make them darker and especially yellower, stance y'all seem to be adapting. Are there Koreans who do have darker, yellower skin tones? Yeah. Are there people who donāt? Also yeah.
Stop fucking pulling this shit. Itās super anti-Asian and racist.

Hi! I am one of the restoration blogs.
Iāll start out by saying that I am East Asian myself, Iām not talking over non-East Asian people as someone who is non-East Asian, because I am literally Chinese, and a tan-skinned East Asian person at that.
Secondly, the ask was coming from an extremely biased view of what people actually do on these blogs. I can only speak on what I specifically do and how I edit my photos (I donāt know the process of the other blogs), but what I do before I edit them is I scour the internet to find their tannest pictures. Sometimes theyāre not very tan at all, sometimes they are very tan.
Then, I take photos that look like the background of this post, and I make them look as close to those pictures I found as I can. I donāt assume I know what their skintone is or undertones are because I donāt, I literally go off of pictures I found.
But now Iām going to get to the part that I actually think is pretty shit of this response tbh, ESPECIALLY as someone who is Chinese. Colorism is an issue that affects all East Asians, and to say that colorism in kpop only affects Koreans is actually pretty fucking disgusting. Do you know how many kpop idols are Chinese (some had to leave because they were so abused because theyāre Chinese but thatās another story)???? Do you know how many kpop idols arenāt Korean?? You guessed it, A LOT. Jackson Wang, Victoria Song from f(x), Huang Zitao, Wu Yifan, Lu Han, Mark Tuan is Taiwanese, Zhang Yixing, Fei from Miss A, Han Geng from Suju, Zhou Mi, Jia from Miss A, Henry Lau, etc. are all Chinese, and thatās just off the top of my head. Yes, theyāre singing in Korean, but theyāre still Chinese, and wow guess what??? They get whitewashed too, just like the Korean idols! And thatās just Chinese kpop idols, donāt even get me started on the nonChinese, non Korean, east Asian kpop idols such as BamBam from GOT7.
Stop acting like Asian people live in a vacuum and that itās only non-Asian people doing this, because Iām Chinese and my people are getting whitewashed and damaged from the whitewashing of kpop idols too, as kpop idols are just kind of indiscriminately whitewashed by people, regardless of where they come from. Once these Korean photographers washed out Chinese idols and non-Korean idols, it became our fucking issue too, as then it became pretty fucking clear that the issue of colorism to East Asians doesnāt only affect Korean people. Youāre not going to watch people wash out Chinese kpop idols and then turn around and tell me this isnāt my fucking problem, thatās not how this is going to work.
Signed,
The Chinese, tan skinned admin of bronzebun
i agree!! i agree with them that maybe white people/non East Asian people who do this might be stepping out of line, I never actually thought of it the way that they put it but I can see that point and where theyāre coming from.
My beef is when they assumed that itās only white ppl doing this and that non-Korean East Asian people magically donāt have a right to do something about this/talk about this/have a voice about this when a lot of these pictures are of Chinese idols. So we can get whitewashed too and destroyed but yet we canāt talk about East Asian colorism because these Chinese people are singing in Korean? We can be hurt by this too but we arenāt allowed to talk about it, only they can?? Bullshit.
thatās not going to fly w me
I understand some non-EA people arenāt reblogging this because they donāt want to get into intracommunity issues, but I give you permission to reblog this from me because all East Asian voices on this matter, well, matter, and deserve to be heard.
Cecee: As a kpop concert photographer, this conversation has a lot of weight to me. I am hearing valid concerns on both sides of the fence and while the conversation is uncomfortable, I also think itās very necessary in this global market.
I personally think no oneās original works should be re-edited for the sake of someone elseās aesthetic values. At the same time, Iāve seen the blatant discrepencies between truly āwhite-washedā (iām using the term āwhiteā solely to describe white balance measurements) and natural light/ concert lighting edits. Iāve seen many of the idols upclose and personal, so I know which ones some fans take a special interest in ābrighteningā for socially aesthetic āpreferencesā. Ā The East-Asian and Non-EA perspective are also legitimate Ā because KPOP has been inclusive of non-Koreans within their industry and global marketing ventures for quite some time now.Ā I hope this conversation will provide more perspective for those struggling to understand the issue.

@Akon Lighting Africa Ā #AkonLightingAfrica
Today, 600 million Africans still donāt have access to electricity, particularly in rural areas.
In far too many parts of Africa, night-time economic activities are practically non-existent. Women cannot make productive use of their time to carry out the most basic household tasks. Children who help the women cannot study at night without proper light and complete their homework by candle light, an additional expense for parents. Moreover, without access to electricity, over 3.5 million Africans die every year from harmful pollutants or fires in the home produced by costly and toxic solid fuels.
To meet these challenges, Akon Lighting Africa seeks to provide a concrete response at grass roots level to Africaās energy crisis and lay the foundations for future development. Launched in February 2014 by international music star, Akon, leader Thione Niang and entrepreneur Samba Bathily, this initiative aims to develop an innovative solar-powered solution that will provide African villages with access to a clean and affordable source of electricity.
