Not usually into any sort of music even remotely like this but this definitely caught my eye and might speak for Korean culture a bit. Not discussing the quality of the music here. I think the message here is worth sharing

first: WB. for sure.
This video has sparked controversy mainly due to the lyrics:
"Any woman would love to show off
Any woman goes on a diet at least once
When you’re a woman, you of course want to receive love
The prince of my dreams will certaintly appear to me"
"(I take note on everything I want to eat)
I live noxiously everyday
(I endure all the pains)
I’m going to be prettier
I’m going to love you more, I’m going to show you more of it
I will change, you will see
You do deserve it"
"Any man would wish for such a woman
Any man, as if they’re all the same, love pretty women
Every man thinks about sex at least once
If only they were thinking about me, would be great if it were me"
I find the message here seriously amazing. Doesn't seem like anything damaging to me. A lot of people were quick to label the whole thing as misogyny because "girls shouldn't be worrying about what their body looks like, they should love themselves and be proud regardless of their weight". Another all too common response was the "you can be overweight and healthy" comment.
The golden donut in the video represents a magical way for fat people to become thin. This, to me, is interesting because it raises a question for fatpride people. Would they take the magical way out or are they really proud?
My question here is: should this attitude from women be welcomed?
