Do Koreans even know about Q-shit? It could just be a case where she just thought it was a cool design, it‘s why gooks wear weird engrish shirts like pic related:

I mean I guess? But JYP is one of the biggest music companies in South Korea, and the fact that they had a Qanon shirt, the tanktop version of it nonetheless, like how does it get to this point?

Happens all the time. And South Koreans likely don't even know what Q even is.

I know there's this one korean qanon type doomsday cult here in the US. It's run by one Sun Myung Moon's sons. They're known for using guns in their prayer ceremonies.

LOL Okay Chaeyoung from Twice just got photographed with a Sid Vicious shirt on in New York, which features a Swastika. Twice fans are losing their shit. It's two for two now.

All those years of /pol/ memeing Taylor Swift as a secret Nazi. And it turns out the second youngest member in the kpop group Twice was actually the real Nazi all along....
r/kpopthoughts - Chaeyoung (twice) wearing far right symbols twice in one week is so…

I came across the 4chan Kpop community. It's one of the few hetero male kpop concentrations you can find on the net. So instead on focusing on gossip and being PC like the reddit and other communities do, they are usually just posting pics of their favorite girls. Arguing who is "best girl". Or sometimes a clip of a sexy dance of them.
Other times bloopers or awkward moments that kpop fandoms would typically try to suppress to protect their image. Like this live feed with no sound before the director cuts to them, where it appears someone might have tooted.
And other notable moments.

Old but gold text-to-speech of a 4chan K-Pop thread.
It features a poor quality image of a cum tribute and other coomerisms, so mildly NSFW.

I know this is late, but just wanted to say that even if they were aware, a lot of people in the East who don't care about Western sensibilities. There's no way educated people in South Korea, Japan or China and so on have never at least heard of the Nazis yet they love romanticizing them. As recently as 2021, you can still find some Nazi-esque cafes in East Asia.
Speaking of which, it's quite amusing seeing the standards between the West and East. Western "stans" seethe whenever a Western celeb tans their skin, makes their eyes look more "slanted" or wears boxbraids. Yet they seemingly ignore or give a pass to how normalized plastic surgery culture is in the East. Virtually every K-Pop idol bleaches their skin, gets plastic surgery to change their eye or nose shape and they often wear coloured contacts or dye their hair light colours and Westerners still stan them. So many K-Pop idols do Hip-Hop/R&B and I seldom see serious discussion on "blackfishing" or "cultural appropriation" from Western stans that aren't met with backlash from other K-Pop stans rushing to defend their idols.

Yeah the Asians are either ambivalent, or endorsing of Western taboos. However due to Imperial Japanese actions upon China and Korea. The Japanese Naval flag is banned in ports around Asia. And Militant Imperial Japanese imagery, is looked down upon.

Trust me, go to any thecoli or lipstickalley thread (although LAlley also has a big thread filled with k stans as well) or any youtube video about kpop's relationship with african americans and its culture and you are bound to find never ending rants about how kpop stole from them while never giving them any props.
Methinks about the time Alton Brown shamed this Korean chick for loving K-Fried Chicken. Alot of black folk got a kick out of that.
On a side note, K-Pop made me realize that of all the consumable media released put of Asia, contemporary music is probably the one where they had the least western interest in and the least influence. When it comes to Art, Film. Television, Animation, literature, and videogames; Asia (especially East Asia) always had a respectable place in the mediums development or had its works rated highly with western contemporaries. But music seems to be one where they are stuck in either niche hipster and mainstream novelty limbo. And even then the only countries that has garnered some attention from the west when it comes to contemporary music is Japan, South Korea and India with Japan (of course) kinda leading when it came to the amount of critical cult darlings in comparison with its other Asian neighbors but not much when it comes to the development of modern music, hell India has a bigger role due to their influence on rock music.
Also, can I talk about kpop's supposed role in making Asian males (especially Western Asians) more attractive in the west because I think its a double edged sword. I agree that it made Asians more attractive to westener women but it also inspired even more mockery due to their "flowery" apperance (and the many dick and heihht jokes) and the fact that their music and appeal is still based on western culture. Also doesnt help that I doubt that their music is going to have the same fanfare in the future that is similar with BSB and Nsync.
What Asian contemporary music is missing is a "bad boy" in music to counteract K-pop. Blacks got The Temptations and MJ while also having NWA and Public Enemy, white folks have The Sex Pistols and Metallica to counteract Backstreet Boys and Fleetwood Mac. Wester. Asian folk dont have anythinf like that.
I always thought Filipinos like me could lead that change due to how completely different we are from my Asian neighbors, I have my ideas but my eczema is fucking up my guitar.

Go ahead and give me the alarm clocks, but catering to these people has made an entire genre of music worse. The primary audience of KPop nowadays isn't Koreans, it's weird terminally online Western zoomers, and the quality has gone downhill drastically. I'll admit that I like the music sometimes even if it's not my first choice to listen to, but everything sounds the same now.
Back when it first blew up in the 2010s, it seemed like there was more room for being quirky and unique, which is what made people outside of Korea get into it in the first place. It also seemed like there were genuinely musically talented creators in the groups back then. Now everything's focus-grouped to death to the point where there will never be another Gangnam Style. Girl groups aren't making cute bubblegum pop anymore, and instead it's all a bunch of interchangeable girlboss anthems to get that foreign pronoun stan money. Every boy group is a second-rate BTS knockoff who looks like some record executive's idea of "cool" but also tries to speak to the fellow kids with "socially conscious" lyrics. All new groups completely interchangeable at this point and I couldn't care less about them. Why? Twitter stans making up the entirety of the fanbase abroad, convincing the executives to tailor the music to their tastes so they can get even more of the almighty foreign dollar. And thus, Korean music becomes the same faceless gray goyslop indistinguishable from mainstream American music.
While this isn't a "nerd" fandom by any means, it degraded in exactly the same way because of a large amount of terminally online retards who weren't gatekept. Pandering to overseas lunatics is one of the quickest ways to ruin unique media by "globalizing" it and removing any reason why foreigners would choose to buy it in the first place. Anime would do well to learn from Korean music's example, but I don't think it's happening.
