Thea Hong @novemberbeetle.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Yes, I’m beyond thrilled that Korean media has taken the world by storm… and honestly, it’s made my life a lot easier - but I’ll always ask: why are outsiders still keeping us from telling our own stories and taking up our own space? 141
Thea Hong @novemberbeetle.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Why are those who mocked us during our childhood now profiting from our culture? I already know the answer. Because some people would rather consume than understand. Because lived experience is something they’ll never have, so they settle for appropriation instead. 152
Thea Hong @novemberbeetle.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Disclaimer - because otherwise some big feelings might get hurt: This is my subjective, personal view. 🇰🇷 Diaspora is not a monolith – and views from SK might be even more nuanced. 130
