Actually, K-pop proves that manufactured people
are superior to natural, average people. Oh, I forgot to mention this is from allkpop.com,
so that should tell you what we're getting into. Hi, welcome to me talking about whatever I
want. Today, I'm going to be talking about Dr. Phil versus K-pop Twitter. So before this,
I would just like to give a little comment shout out from yesterday's video. This is actually kind
of like a double comment shout out. This person, One Dog is Sky said, "Are we going to just
sit here and act like he hasn't changed his profile picture for this channel five times
in the past two days?" And this person, Name, says, "Sometimes you got to try some things
out before you find the aesthetic." Exactly. All jokes aside though, I would like to thank
you again for the support. This second channel is doing so well. So we have ourselves a doozy
here. Fans upset after Dr. Phil calls BTS's Jimin manufactured. Now I got so many people
asking me to do this after I mentioned it in passing yesterday. It's almost like y'all want
me to get in trouble, right? It's like you want K-pop Twitter to be mad at me, right? Because
you know I'm not going to sugar coat my opinion. First of all, I'm not a fan of BTS and I've
listened to them, so ultimately I came to the conclusion that BTS is just not for me.
However, I don't hate K-pop. I actually really, really like Blackpink. I like Twice. There's a lot
of solo artists and songs from solo artists that I think are really good, like Palai and She Is and
So-So. So I'm not a K-pop hater. I'm just not a K-pop stan. That being said, if this video gets
any amount of views at all from K-pop Twitter, I know they're still going to be trashing me
relentlessly. So go ahead, go right ahead. Also, this is my third video about music in a
row. I'm not sure why that's happening. This is not supposed to be a music channel, but it is me
talking about whatever I want. And I want to talk about Dr. Phil. Fans upset after Dr. Phil calls
BTS's Jimin manufactured. Dr. Phil's currently under some hot water for some comments he made
regarding BTS's Jimin. All right. So the context that this article basically goes into depth is he
was talking to this guy named Oli London. Now, if you've never heard of Oli London, all you really
need to know is that this man has spent over $100,000 on plastic surgery so he can transform
himself into looking like his celebrity crush, K-pop boy band member Park Ji-min. If you want to
spend like a lifetime's worth of money on plastic surgery, I literally feel like that's on you.
You're going to have to deal with the positives and negatives of that. However, he's not Korean.
This is some British dude getting surgery to kind of make himself look more Korean. It's like he
had his eye shape changed. He did a lot. And that's why I'm not going to go and say any further
details about it. So as unqualified as Dr. Phil is to diagnose or help anybody, because he obviously
doesn't have people's best interests at heart, he still tried to give this man some good advice.
But that good advice wound up being by hot water he landed himself in. So he said this,
You feel like you need to be somebody else. And you have to know that the
somebody else that you're wanting to be is not really who that person appears to
be. That's a manufactured, marketed image. So like, where's the lie? How is that wrong,
mean, inaccurate? That's just true. However, K-pop Twitter went off. The person who posted
that said, "Since OP deleted the tweet, here's Dr. Phil calling Jimin manufactured and
marketed image. It was seriously uncalled for in this feeding into stereotypes about K-pop idols."
First of all, I don't understand how that's uncalled for when I feel like this Oli London guy
needs to probably realize that you're devoting your whole life into transforming yourself into
this other person. But deep down, you don't really know who that person is. It's like if I
wanted to turn myself into Jimin, for example. Besides the obvious reasons that that would not
be okay, I don't know what Jimin's like. He posts the little Instagram stories or... They don't use
Instagram, do they? He posts little social media stories and there's behind the scenes and all that
stuff, but that's still a camera in front of him. I think the only way you could transform yourself
into Jimin is if you knew Jimin as a friend, and then you would understand what it
meant to become him. Which, by the way, if you do actually know him personally, and then
you spend $100,000 in surgery to look like him. But no, that didn't stop K-pop Twitter,
because literally why would it? It says fans were upset after Dr. Phil's statement. This
tweet says, "Hey, Dr. Phil, last time I checked, it wasn't Jimin who splurged $150,000 to look
like somewhat of an entirely different race. He's just a young man who is passionate about his
career and all natural." All caps, all natural. "You just blamed Jimin, who is the victim of all
these blizzard antics." Jojo's Blizzard Adventure. I think the thing that K-pop Twitter is failing to
realize here is dr. Phil's observations, for once, were more than skin deep. He's not talking
about Jimin's face per se. He's talking about Jimin as a concept, as a brand, as entertainer.
That's what Oli London has paid all this money to look like. He hasn't paid money to look like
Jimin in his most natural state. And claiming that Jimin is a victim, I do agree with that. I
think Oli London is kind of bordering on being a stalker. Jimin's definitely a victim,
but I didn't like how did Dr. Phil blame him exactly by calling him manufactured.
Okay, let's see. This one. This one has to be satire. This has to be ironic. It says, "I
can't believe Dr. Phil really just said Jimin is a manufactured, marketed image. He's basically
saying that Jimin's image is created as per the requirements of being an idol. Not his real
self." No, you've got to be trolling. But the username says, "Man Like Jimin" and they're
@jimultis. So I don't think this is a troll. Okay, I have nothing to say. You beat me, you beat
the commentary YouTuber. He has no comment. This next person says, "How I'm going to
be if Dr. Phil doesn't apologize to Jimin." Yes, physical violence. Always the best
way of getting your point across. I mean, I know this is a joke, but it's kind of a weird
joke to make. I don't know. And the thing is this, all this, you're not doing that to Dr. Phil.
You're doing that to the K-pop community. You're doing that to your reputation because
outside people, they're just going to group you all together. They're just going to think
all K-pop stans are like this. Don't worry, k-pop stands watching this. I know most of you
are not crazy, or maybe you are and I'm about to find out once this video goes up, but that's
a fate I'm willing to accept for these views. Someone said, "Instead of dragging that freak,
who wants to physically look like Jimin, Dr. Phil dragged Jimin instead. I'm really tired
of BTS members getting dragged for crap that other people do." Let's not even talk about the
fact that he didn't drag Jimin. There's no Jimin hate from Dr. Phil's statement. Manufactured,
marketed image is just true. Unfortunately, even YouTubers are manufactured, marketed images.
Now I would like to think that what I put forward on camera is a pretty decent reflection of how I
am as a person, but there's still no way for me to be my most authentic self while having in the back
of my mind that a lot of people are going to be watching me. I just got way too real for a second.
"Manufactured, marketed image. WTF, Dr. Phil? Jimin has grown up, but has never gotten surgery.
Is he really going to sit there and stereotype Jimin like that? I can't believe this." Okay,
so I think I'm starting to piece some things together. The stereotype that that other person
was talking about is plastic surgery, I guess. So the thing is though, let's say
Jimin has no plastic surgery. Again, I really have no idea whether he does or
he doesn't. That's still a manufactured, marketed image. And you know how I can prove this?
One time, I was on Twitter and I saw that BTS was trending. And I looked to see why. I always think
one of them is dead whenever that happens. But no, apparently Jimin dyed his hair a certain color.
And then he was trending on Twitter because so many people were talking about it. If that
does not tell you that he's a manufactured, marketed image, I don't know what's... This
man's hair is manufactured and marketed. So even if there's no plastic surgery and he's
just fresh faced, he's still doing the makeup. He's still doing the hair. He's still dressing
a certain way, presenting himself a certain way, posing a certain way for people to talk about it.
So, yes, basically those are getting like hundreds and hundreds of likes. One of them even had a
couple of 1000 likes. And I was just... Now, again, I'm not going to sit here and blame all
K-pop stans, because first of all, I don't believe in putting all people of any sort of group under
the same lens. I know for a fact that not all K-pop fans are like this, and not to say that
there's anything necessarily wrong with being a super fan or a stan of any K-pop group, but at
the point where we're no longer making room for reality, I feel like things are getting a little
bit weird. But thankfully, like I said, it wasn't all K-pop fans. There were some comments on the
article we just went through from K-pop stans. Oh, I forgot to mention this is from allkpop.com,
so that should tell you what we're getting into. Someone said, "This is a true statement. Sorry,
army. Many celebrities, including K-pop idols and Jimin, along with all of BTS, have a heavily
manufactured look. I mean, if they didn't, it would be kind of weird. The reason that
BTS is so much larger than life is because so much immaculate detail is paid to hair,
makeup, clothes. If that wasn't the case, BTS might still have some of their charm, but they
wouldn't have that larger than life aspect where everything they do is perfect, 24-seven." The
thing too about this is I feel like people are kind of making it black and white. So if Jimin is
manufactured, then he can't look good when that's just not true. I can't believe I'm sitting
on this channel, having a discussion about whether or not Jimin's looking good. It's okay to
admit that something's manufactured and marketed, and to admit that you enjoy that aspect of it.
Let's see, this person said, "I'm a Jimin stan, but what Dr. Phil said is true. It doesn't
only apply to Jimin, but to all K-pop idols. This person said, "I'm a fan and seeing Jimin
makes me happy, but I know my limits. These are just people, too, with flaws, just that
they're famous. And of course they have to take care of the image because fans expect them
to be..." How old is this... I'm really curious, because I feel like age has to play into this, at
least in some respects. I mean, not all teenagers are going to be crazy and not all adults are
going to be smart, but I truly feel like when everyone changes their picture to just an image
of Jimin's face and everyone's username just says, "BTS Stan," it gets really hard to separate the
longtime K-pop fans from the people who just found it last week and they're rabidly defensive of it.
This last comment I'm going to look at says, "Where's the lie, though? All boy/girl groups
are manufactured from their music to their image, including BTS." So yeah, I never thought I
would be getting on my channel and defending Dr... Let's not even call this defending Dr.
Phil, because no, I'm just going to call this defending what he said. Dr. Phil wasn't attacking
Jimin, some of y'all are just a little protective of this man who will never know it, though I'm
sure he's appreciative. If you want to get mad at somebody for dragging Jimin, get mad at me. I
don't like BTS. Honestly, their music has never grabbed me for some reason. And if push came
to shove and you showed me a picture of them, I could not pick Jimin out of the crowd.
I'm sorry. But, of course, if you're a longtime viewer, I can still say that while
also acknowledging that there's nothing wrong with enjoying BTS or liking their music. And as
always, I'm glad that people get something out of it. It's just not for me, man. I sat through
the Idol premiere. I just didn't get it. It was bright colors and trumpets and flashiness, but
their dancing was on point, I'll give them that. By the way, I have this little bonus comment
that I just, I had to share. This person said, "Suddenly everyone is surprised to find out that
K-pop Idols are indeed manufactured to appeal to the public. Isn't that basically the dark side of
K-pop that we've been talking about for ages?" But then this person jumps in and says, "How is
that the dark side of K-pop? Actually K-pop proves that manufactured people are superior
to natural, average people. I see this very positive." First of all, you have negative 1000
points on this website. Manufactured people are superior to natural average people.
You know what, who cares?
