Too Global to Ignore

This week on Comeback Corner, we’re asking the big one: K-pop has gone global… but is it actually ready for the world? 

First up: our weekly SEVENTEEN bias line-up update - M’s deep in a 97-line love triangle with Mingyu and Minghao, Wonwoo is gone (but somehow more present than ever), so Zuzu is still holding onto DK (even though he’s stealing her aesthetic and doing it better… rude).

Then it’s a deep dive into K-pop’s global blindspots: Lisa’s Rockstar MV and plagiarism accusations (hi FEIN), cultural appropriation with groups like KISS OF LIFE, and idols repping canceled brands like Balenciaga and Alexander Wang (yes, even BTS) while Western celebs drop them. The big question: do they really not know, or are they just ignoring it? And more importantly - what can we do to change things? (Spoiler: hiring us would help, but we went further than that).

Finally, in true chaotic fashion, we spoil our way into becoming your next idols - inspired by K-pop Demon Hunters’ Saja Boys and following in the footsteps of Wonwoo and Jungkook (controversies included). Debut soon, stay tuned!
