K-Pop Dan Keaslian Asia

Saya minat jugak cerita Korea. Banyak jugak tengok daripada dulu. Cerita favourite saya Autumn in My Heart, Second Proposal dengan Stairway to Heaven.

Tapi saya bukanlah follower sejati K-Pop. Setakat minat macam tu je. Tapi semalam lepas baca blog Amira Afiqah, mengucap panjang.

Bukan sebab penulisan blog dia, tapi sebab komen-komen yang orang tinggalkan (especially anak-anak gadis Melayu) yang dah tahap gila meroyan.

Pardon my Photoshop skill y’all. Ceritanya gini. Amira Afiqah ni ada orang curi gambar dia dari facebook, and orang tu gunakan picture dia untuk buat blog entry mengutuk K-Pop. Means blog ni bukan tulisan dia, tapi tulisan penyamar dia.

Kalau anda semua nak tau, blog dia ada satu je entry, iaitu Kpop?euww. Tapi satu entry je dah dapat 2087 komen (sampai pukul 11:14 pm 13 Disember, waktu Malaysia). 2087 komen tu sangat banyak untuk entry yang baru berusia  8 hari! OK, fellow bloggers, you know what I mean.

And kalau anda nak tau, yang komen tu semuanya peminat K-Pop. Deorang sangat marah sebab penyamar Amira Afiqah tu kutuk bintang pujaan hati deorang.

Ok sorry if you are a K-pop lover (I know many of my friends are), but I think I have to agree with the imposter’s comment on this Korean’s guy appearance. I don’t know if you think he’s cute but I seriously think his cuteness is equivalent to a dog’s (and it depends on your interpretation whether you think dogs are cute or not).

I’m not racist, but I dislike those Asians who are not proud to be Asians. What’s the point of you colouring your hair, or dying it or bleaching it? And what’s the point of you doing nosejob (rhinoplasty) just that you would look more Europeans more than you are Asians?

It’s just proof that you don’t respect your identity enough to be proud of it. To tell the truth, I am turned on by original Asian women more than those celup Caucasians do me.

You see, what’s the point of loving yourself if you want your eyes to look blue, or your hair to be blonde? It means you don’t value yourself enough.

Tau tak kenapa buruk orang Asia rambut blonde? Sebab your skin colour doesn’t match your hair, and if you are Orient, your tiny eyes do not look good with Mat Salleh’s hair. (Don’t think I’m racist, I’m half-Chinese and I have mata sepet also). Kalau African macam Beyonce, at least the chocolate colour of her skin matches her hair colour. Tapi Asian tidak, OK?

Back to the question, the main reason I’m not a big fan of K-Pop because I think they’re not original. It’s as simple as that. They are walking proof that in order to achieve greatness, you have to be somebody else. You cannot remain being who you are if you want to succeed.

You know why Anggun succeeded to break through the French and Italian market? Because she brought along her identity, her sense of pride being an Asian. The Europeans loved her because they thought her as exotic, original and mysterious. She wrote many of her songs with sprinkles of Malay (Indonesian) words, which gave that Javanese mystic character to her songs.
 

Anggun Cipta Sasmi

She still has her dark long hair with her Javanese persona when she first sang aboard. Her first single, La Neige Au Sahara (Snow on the Sahara) was the most played song in France for 1997. You think there’s any other Asian singer or performer can top that? Think again.

Anggun remains the most successful single singer from Nusantara (Malay Archipelago) aboard, and not even Siti Nurhaliza can beat that. And perhaps, she is the most successful Asian singer in France we have ever seen. And she was able to do that while at the same time carrying the culture of her country into her songs.
And compare that with the K-Pop performers. Compare the originality. The image. The songs. The image of their country.

Ok, I’ll stop at that.

Now back to the blog of Amira Afiqah’s imposter.

Komen-komen yang dihamburkan peminat K-Pop agak biadab, sehingga kepada tahap mengugut bunuh, mengugut menoreh mukanya dengan pisau, menghinanya dengan panggilan babi dan sebagainya.



Wow. Indahnya bahasa, seindah nama pemiliknya.




Wah, nenek dia sangat cantik! OK, saya percaya!




Wah, adik ni lagi marah. Macam orang kutuk suami dia pulak, sampai nak membabi-babikan orang lain.

Tapi yang ni lagi best:



Nak toreh muka? Pergh, dahsyat jugak adik pocoyolala. Lepas dia tau Amira Afiqah buat report polis, tengok apa jadi:



Tau pun takut. Terus dia delete komen dia, padahal dia yang ugut si (penyamar) Amira suruh delete post dia. Tapi malangnya si pakcik Amira, wartawan jenayah bernama Hazrey (www.hazrey.com) dah berjaya print screen semua ugutan yang peminat-peminat K-Pop hamburkan. Deorang dah buat report polis pun.

Kesian Amira. Sebab orang lain, habis muka dengan keluarga dia kena kutuk tak pasal-pasal dengan orang fanatik K-Pop. Ni baru K-Pop, so tak hairanlah kalau fanatik politik pun tahap maki-maki ciptaan Tuhan.
Menurut parents Amira, lepas kejadian ni, dia dah tekanan perasaan dan takde selera makan. Malangnya, penyamarnya masih enggan untuk menutup blog tersebut.

Ok, kalau anda nak tau, ada yang komen dekat blog Amira tu baru umur 9 tahun, and kebanyakannya budak-budak dalam lingkungan 12 sampai 18 tahun. Takut tak? Nampak tak adab budak-budak sekarang macam mana? Bukan satu ye komen, 2087 komen. And entry ni pulak cuma ada 52 perkataan, bukan panjang pun. Tapi rage peminat K-Pop macam budak ni dah buat Holocaust dekat semua penyanyi dan performers K-Pop.

Ironinya, yang takde identiti sendiri tulah yang kita puja. Kita agungkan sampai tahap fanatik membabi buta. Tak salah nak minat, tapi mesti ada hadnya. Saya minat Anggun, tapi kalau orang kutuk dia saya takdelah tahap nak rage melampau-lampau. Chill sudah. Bukan ada effect dekat kita pun. (Ok, so far takdelah orang kutuk Anggun gila babeng. Ramai jugak minat suara dia).

Itu jelah yang saya nak cakap. Saya tak menyokong K-Pop haters ataupun menyokong K-Pop lovers. Kita semua ada minat masing-masing. Cuma bersederhanalah.

Untuk menutup entry ni, saya persembahkan video klip Anggun yang bertajuk A Rose in The Wind. Lagu versi Melayu ialah Kembali, dan lagu ni mendapat perhatian antarabangsa sebab ada unsur muzik Jawa. Enjoy!

Garuda, maafkan aku yang melupakanmu. Tapi cinta lebih kuat dari perbatasan. Biarkan aku jadi kompasmu; akan kutunjuk laharmu ke arah gunung api, dengan fajarku.
