The Hollywood Reporter under fire for mentioning SHINEE’s Jonghyun in BTS’ latest issue

[piscesigh]

I understand if they want to expose the industry for being sh*t (cause it is), but 1) it was by no means necessary to comment about Jonghyun and 2) the way the topic as introduced was beyond rude and insensitive:

"Only the best of the best wind up in an actual K-pop band — while some don’t survive at all."

Like, really? You gonna compare his ******* to a hunger games' pun? What the f*ck is wrong with news media and reporters and whatever, this is what makes people lose interest and seek information on any other platform. And I also hate the fact that they reduced everything that caused Jjong's death to simply a "very strict idol life", as if there weren't other factors at all.
Jeez, and they don't even apologize nor at least MENTION how wrong they were? I f*cking hate Western media and the disrespect they show to anything.

And let's also have in mind that if they want to expose how sh*tty korean industry is it's because they want Western industry to remain at the top, of course, not because they care about humanity and people getting treated correctly

It's made worse by them quoting his ******* note, you just don't do that. Reporters for the most part respect western artists who committed *******, like I can't think of a time where Kurt Cobain's ******* note has been mentioned in articles like this (I know it's been published in full but that's not what I mean). It's just so unnecessary for them to have mentioned him like this, even to say that the industry is harsh. There's so many better ways to go about it that aren't like this.

I agree. It's even disrespectful to BTS, like, they get all these info that's not related at all with them and once again get involved in problematic sh*t even if they didn't do anything at all, which causes that mostly Western audience will directly connect them with all that and not pay attention to them and lets not even talk about the rest of the artists.
Such a selfish action and for what? Selling more magazines but being known as an ignorant sh*tty as*hole???

It's really backfired too cuz most Army is avoiding even clicking on the article, let alone buying the magazines

It's what they deserve tbh

Definitely, one Army reposted the highlights from the article and they've been linking it around on twitter so people can read that instead of giving Hollywood Reporter any revenue

I think that’s even a good idea. Geez, i never knew the Western media was this bad though.

I feel like it usually isn't so bad, but the really bad moments are highly publicized
