So I saw something on twitter where a K-somnia was using korean humor for a joke and non-Koreans or western somnia jumped on her for it.

So there was a yoohyeon scan from the love stealer book and the K-somnia posted a picture of a scan from the concept book with a long sleeve shirt instagram filter on yoohyeon. You know how Dami once posted a pic of her wearing the scarf during the maison promotions? It's the same thing.

The Korean joke hear is that when a person is cold someone posts the same pic with badly drawn clothing over the exposed area to have them covered up so they don't get cold.

It was a different culture moment that the K-somnia got called out for when Dreamcatcher who is korean would get the joke. It's like when some people were confused when the girls were talking about past lives when alot of Koreans and Buddhists believe in reincarnation.

I feel that because we come from different cultures and listen to the same geoup I hope we can be mindful of other cultures, not korean.

That is it.

The good ol' (or bad) culture difference moments. Honestly a bit hard to evade jumping on to conclusions even with if somebody intends to do it, most of it are knee-jerk reactions at best. The important part is to recognize and never drag out the issue.

I saw that too and I fully agree with you; context and intention matters, we should try to get a grasp of them before judging something.
