I grew up in Korea as a missionary's daughter. Here is my take: Be easy on the 15 year old girl. K-pop is only in another language and I prefer teenagers to listen to it rather than American Pop since it generally is cleaner and does not really have curse words in it. In S. Korea, musicians get canceled for doing drugs not more popular like in the U.S. The music is highly scrutinized for its appropriateness for teenagers compared to U.S. pop. Her parents should actually be happy it is K pop and not Cardi B.

[samtmh]

Kpop is, for the most part, one of the most innocent things to get into as long as you keep yourself grounded. It's literally just music.... but in Korean. The videos can be crazy, but that's just the style of the industry. My Kpop phase led to my initial career and I learned the language, my college is set, I met my husband, and now I have a family. I eventually grew out of the whole "pop" phase, but I still listen to Korean music here and there. Parents who are freaked out by Kpop probably have just never experienced anything outside of "Christian media".

Normally I don't hate on the parents, but in this case they really need to step outside their comfort zone some.

[khadhija]

I, a kpop stan in my twenties, and my sisters and many other 20-year-olds, believe that there is a good chance that she won't grow out of it.

If my child managed to save up money for a music genre as innocent as Kpop I'd let them go. Kpop concerts are probably the most safe and civil popular music concerts you can go to, ever.

If the language was in French or Spanish, and if they weren't Asian, Kpop fans won't get as much ridicule as they do now.

[emilyahlbaum]

I like how Jordan always says, "I'll edit it out." but then he never does.

[sarahsuddarth]

"Did I mention I'm a 15 year old girl?"
"You didn't have to"

I had to pause the video I laughed so hard

[larissanunes]

To the K-pop girl, I would ask your parents and see what their reaction will be like. Most Christian parents are afraid of the unknown, especially from other cultures. Initially, my parents were completely against me having interest in anything Asian related. I persisted because I knew that they were just biased from the little they knew about the topic lol. Now their mindset has completely changed and have actually watched some Asian movies with me! They are also now I’m favor of letting me spend some time in Japan!
So my advise is to try to work it out. In my case it took a few years for them to accept my “different” interests. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating a different culture, as long as you’re filtering through the bad stuff as you would with American media. You probably won’t be able to go to this concert, but maybe in a few years you will!

As someone who is Asian and realizes that the beauty standard in East Asian are not the same as here in the west, I don't agree nor appreciate the fact that people are out here calling Asian people who are obviously men soy boys. Please look into culture before saying things about it...

[Chotibunder]

What’s a soy boy? Why would she regret going to a concert later in life? Music in other languages are great because it could help you to actually learn that language. She should look to see if an adult can chaperone.

Let the girl go to the dang K-pop concert!


This situation is straight up like the movie Turning Red. XD

I met my husband on a dating app and we've been married two years. We're both Christians but it wasn't a Christian dating app. I look at the apps not as something to be ashamed of if you use them correctly, not just as a form of entertainment/attention seeking, but for serious dating. Also, who cares that you are introduced online, you still have to meet in person and go on actual dates and get to know each other. How is that different than a friend setting you up on a blind date just because they happen to know someone else who is single, even if you're not a good match?

[thequiver]

My husband and I met on facebook. He has the same first and last name as my cousin, I added him thinking he was my cousin, he also lived in Texas like my cousin and when realized he wasn't, I almost removed him, but I saw that he was my age (16), homeschooled like me, and we shared the same faith. So we kept talking, became boyfriend and girlfriend before meeting in person and then we finally met halfway across the country in TN (I'm from MI). We dated long distance for 4 years, got married at 20 and now we're going on 9 years of marriage with 4 kids! And I never had to change my last name 😄❤️

[jkt]

Tbh I think they'll be more resentful than thankful. Kids could be into a lot worse than k-pop (or fall out boy lol)

[JusticeBackstrom]

"Did I mention I'm a 15 year old girl?"
"You didn't need to."
Thet was ruthless, Jordan. You totally ate this person's lunch.

[My_Treehouse]

Hey! For the second person, my parents met on a dating app when that was something you did NOT do, but they've been married for almost 20 years now. Dont be embarrassed, if he's the one, he's the one!💖

[ThatUptownLiving]

It made me laugh when you mentioned Josh officiating a wedding because I had just been thinking about a couple that met and had both loved Blimey Cow and was wondering if they met through y’all’s sight. And, then you mentioned about Josh and I started laughing because I’m pretty sure he officiated their wedding (if not, then he was a guest; but definitely remember seeing pictures of him at the wedding). 😂

[samueljohnson]

Met my fiancée on a Christian dating app. Really not ashamed I guess? If others have an issue with it, that's their problem. Times change, it's how dating can begin these days. I am thrilled I met her.

[abbied.]

Why we love K-pop: it’s awesome! Haha no hard feelings if someone doesn’t like it, that’s fine. I personally like it because everything is SO high quality. Kinda like why I like musical theatre. It’s not just music, there’s so much more to it. The ultimate performance. K-pop has dance, fashion (sometimes questionable but usually pretty cool), crazy high-budget music videos and concerts and more!

[CanadianBatmanNerd]

I met my husband via Upward (a Christian dating app). Times are different now, what can I say? There is still a slight negative perception towards online dating in the Christian community, but I have to say that it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for in a spouse within your immediate community… especially if you’re from a small town. (:

Ignore judgements of others, be smart, and confide in people you trust! Also, double dates are good to start when meeting them in person for the first time.

“I don’t know if I’m cussing” might be the most relatable statement I’ve ever heard on the internet.

[OneWayD]

I got engaged engaged last week, and we met on a Christian app. I thought people would care more about how we met, and was self conscious about it too, until I realized that how a couple first met has nothing to do with the relationship except how it started.

Here's my advice:
The main goal of online dating it to have it turn into offline dating, the sooner the better.

Ask questions about who she is and what she likes, not compliments about looks. It's how I stood out.

Just because it's Christian, does not mean that there aren't bad actors. Keep your guard up.

The greatest and deepest satisfaction in life does not come from a spouse, but from your relationship with Jesus. The sooner you let go of the idol of marriage, the sooner you find someone to marry, paradoxically enough.

And lastly, keep watching Blimey Cow, their videos are full of so much wisdom on this topic
