MBLAQ’s Lee Joon caught in controversy over child sex offenders comment during debate
Came across this while I was meandering online for some Kpop juice. It's apparently old news being revived because sometimes people just need to find something past to argue about in order to release all the pent-up residue anger inside of them.
But oh! So exciting! The exchange of words between fans and anti-fans is so engaging and dramatic! This caught my interest because, for a change, it actually involves a real social issue and there were some good insights and comments made.
Although I would hardly call this "caught in controversy", it is barely even a controversy. If there is anything that Lee Joon is caught in, it would be his recent vomiting (idols vomit too??!!??!) and subsequent admission into the hospital, hardly a harmless comment he made months ago, which is not exactly without sense either.
Sometimes people talk with their emotions instead of their brains. At that point of time, he probably focused on how he would feel if he were to lose the ability to exercise his right to reproduce, rather than the sex offender part.
There is nothing wrong with that. He is first and foremost an entertainer. This guy lifts his shirt and gyrates his hips regularly as part of his profession, because it is what the fans want and it sells his work. His job is to sing, dance, act and drive the fans nuts with his sex appeal, which he does really well, not be the most articulate, most argumentative, most politically correct person around.
People need to stop getting their panties into a bunch and concentrate on hisabs, I mean, his talent instead.
That said, I am not condoning sex offenders, neither am I defending him because I support him. If anyone came off great here, it's G.O. I am very impressed with his response. I would never have pegged him for being such a smart cookie, knowing what to say at the right time.
Tough luck, Joon. But it's okay. You are still cute.
Note: As usual, because people are so annoyingly sensitive, which is probably what sparked off this non-existent "controversy" in the first place, I shall point out that this blog entry is about the situation of the celebrity in relation to a controversial topic, and not the topic itself. If you ask me, all sex offenders should just be locked up forever. They can fuck each other if they want. It's the offenders that everyone should be angry at, not a comment made by a celebrity before due consideration. He is what? All of 23 years old? Tell me you never met anyone that young who had never said a single stupid thing. And don't give me all that nonsense about impressionable young kids who may be influenced by him. People are not worried that these young kids are looking at the "Oh Yeah" video and replaying the scene where Lee Joon lifts his shirt over and and over again, but they are worried about this? Ludicrous! Young people are not that easily influenced nowadays, please. If they are, then they are pretty much screwed anyway.
The. End.
