Korean pop star: I’ll sell my nude photos to any country [but not Japan]

July 19th, 2006 by James

Apparently Korean pop star Vicky will never allow Japanese men to see her nude photos:

Pop star Vicky has refused to allow her nude photos to be exported to Japan.

Vicky was recently offered a US$100,000 contract from Hong Kong-based WUFU Business Co., Ltd. to release her nude photo collection on Japanese portal sites. Vicky, however, frankly stated her opposition, saying, “No matter how much I needed money, I wouldn’t want my nude photos sent to Japan.”

The article goes on to say that she will likely sell her nude photos to groups in several other asian countries, but Japan is an absolute no-no. Is there any end to the ridiculous anti-Japanese fury of the Koreans? I’m sure that the photos will end up on the internet anyway, so everyone, including the vile, nasty Japanese, will be able to see them.

Dammit! It pisses me off when i keep hearing about stuff like this!
How can a civilised nation be so damn racist and hostile to another country?

The Germans were ‘the baddies’ during WWII and killed loads of our troops, but you dont hear about our musicians/ models/ whatever refusing to let the germans see their nudey pics.

Forgive and forget, you krazy koreans – its all in the past!

What you said is true about the Germans. But you shouldn’t compare Germany to Japan. What sets Japan and Germany’s war history apart?

In Germany it is illegal to deny the Holocaust and everyone knows what EXACTLY the Nazis did. Do we see any Jews complaining that the facts and figures are untrue? No; They are SATISFIED.

But in Japan, “…sex SLAVES? NOO. They actually volunteered, bla bla etc. etc.” “Lets change the school history textbooks a bit to reduce the violence…” -see what I mean? It’s not 100% clear even amongst the Japanese people.

Solution: Stick to ONE story that fits with the other Asian countries. THat’ll keep em satisfied. Screw the Japanese version as it is never reliable since it changes.

That’ll learn those evil Japs! Now they’ll just have to jerk off to her for free instead of paying for the privilege!

Actually, I doubt most Japanese people even know she exists, much less care. I’m sure her words will go down well with Korean men who like a little jingoism with their porn, though.

Dae Han Min Guk:

I have to agree with you. I’ve watched quite a bit of Japanese TV in the last year, and never once have I heard of Vicky or her group.

Before you vilify Koreans for their anti-Japanese attitudes, try to keep in mind the Japanese have been particularly racist toward Koreans up until the recent Korean drama craze. The Japanese still treat Koreans who have been in their country for generations (the offspring of those brought to Japan as slaves in some cases) as foreigners (when clearly they are naturalized citizens). They still blame them for a dispproportionate number of crimes. And the Japanese have never been especially contrite about the whole comfort women issue.

It might be a lot easier for Korea to “forgive and forget” if Japan actually seemed interested in accepting responsibility for what they did in the past and if Japan weren’t so unapologetically racist in their treatment of outsiders. While the hakujin get treated pretty well, most Asians are not so lucky.

This isn’t a simple issue of Koreans being stubbornly anti-Japanese. The Japanese throughout their economic boom were smug and felt themselves superior to other Asians. They still do in many cases. It’s only their waning economic power and the emergence of China and Korea as economic powers they’ll have to deal with that keeps them from exercising that arrogance at present. This is Koreans finally feeling powerful and important enough to ‘put the Japanese in their place’ to whatever extent they feel they can. It may be petty and ineffectual but it’s an understandable impulse.

Orchid:

As you admit, Vicky’s actions are “petty and ineffectual”. What Japan did over 60 years ago and Koreans continual demand for apologies upon apologies doesn’t justify her response. The people who will look at her photos weren’t alive during Japan’s colonial occupation, nor are they anti-Korean racists. If anything, she is spreading anti-Korean feelings in Japan with her decision. It seems to me that Korean anti-Japanese actions are creating a negative image of Korea in Japan.

A large percentage of the “zainichi Koreans” living in Japan are not naturalized citizens of Japan. They have been given the option to naturalize, but most of them refuse, holding on to South Korean or North Korea-affiliated passports. Many of them resist becoming naturalized Japanese citizens because they feel it would betray their Korean heritage. Critics of Japan like to claim the racist Japanese government has banned from becoming citizens, but this is not true.

There certainly seems to be a lot of ignorance in Japan about crimes committed by foreigners, especially Chinese and Koreans. Maybe it has something to do with the accurate news reports showing South & North Korean leaders make warlike statements against Japan, Korean protests in which the Japanese flag is stomped on, burned, and eaten, and Korean elementary school children drawing anti-Japanese hate pictures. Seeing reports like that might give them the inaccurate view that Koreans permanent residents in Japan are as anti-Japanese as Koreans on the Korean peninsula.

The ignorant views of Japanese people who believe most Koreans in Japan are criminals are about on par with the hateful comments made by Vicky. Such views are “understandable”, but they are not justifiable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with vilifying Vicky’s ignorant statements as what they are.

But you do hear English supporters chanting: “Two World Wars and One World Cup” all the time. Forgive? Probably because the English won, with the help of the Americans and the Red Army. Forget? Obviously not.

I guess Vicky gives a new twist to the epithet “stupid ‘ho.”

I hate all the anti-Japanese. I agreed that Japanese had a shaggy past at one point but don’t tell me, Korean, Chinese, and the rest of the world are innocents. Please, give me a break. Korean and Chinese are accusing Japanese for changing historical facts, for raping their people, but yet, Korean and Chinese committed the same crimes. There’s no need to point fingers at each other when both side committed the same thing.

Yawn…as dae han mentioned, she’s a nobody trying to leech some fame with stupidity (if only she were the last…), and Japan Probe has stepped up to the plate to show that there are people in this world who would fall for it. Shoulda just ignored this biatch and popped some Ayu vids :( . To add insult to injury, orchid has played the troll card, but good call on James for setting’em straight b4 we get the armchair historians jumping in… too late for Annie, but when we define ourselves for something as generic as racial culture, guess it can’t be helped.

I have no idea who she is anyway, and I was just googling another korean celeb who I was only slightly curious about. I just happened to stumble across this and thought “wow, that’s just not gonna happen.” Any information nowadays GETS PUT ON THE INTERNET. And as far as I know, just because a site is hosted in, say, KOREA doesn’t mean the Japanese will never see it. The beauty of the internet is the fact that information is available freely. Good luck with keeping the Japanese away from your photos (as if any determined 10 year old in Japan wouldn’t be able to find a way to get to them)

As for the racism, well, they’re both homogeneous societies that abhor change and anything different. However, they’re more similar than different, on both cultural and genetic levels. It’s like twins trying to be different from each other even though they’re practically the same person. YES they have very distinct histories and cultures, but seriously….Asian people came from somewhere. And when they spread out, how else do you think they reached that island called Japan? Did the people just spring up on that island? No, they came from the mainland and yes, Korea’s along that path. They both hate each other for their past crimes, they both spit racism back and forth but to say that all those “krazy koreans” do all day is be anti-japanese is as stupid as thinking that all japanese revile zainichi. People are idiots all over the world so of course no matter what race you are, there will be morons hating on other people for no reason.
Asians should just all team up already and take over the world. With China, they’ve got 1/3 the world’s population, get together already!
