JYP - Who's Your Mama? (MV Review)

4/14/2015

1 Comment

 

Disgusting.

          I was going to go with a pithy tagline about how it's catchy but coarse, but I've decided better because this is just plain gross. This is rape culture and to say anything otherwise is just something I'm not up to any more. He asks the woman her measurements for heaven's sake, and she is a hell of a lot younger than he is. It's hella creepy that he does even half of what he does in this video. It's not that the objectification of the female form is wrong, that's fine. A nice ass is a nice ass and that's all fine and dandy. What's wrong here isn't the sexiness or the objectification at face value. What's wrong here is that JYP is being a frickin creep in this. As the head of a theoretically well-respected company he should be handling himself better than this. I get that he wants to be a comedian and shit, but if I saw a dude being like this to anyone I'd call the cops on his ass because he's being disgusting. Sex and physical objectification are totally cool, Kpop is a hella hot genre and I doubt anyone actually has delusions about that anymore. But this is different. This isn't a girl showing off her ass because she likes the attention, this is a creepy ass old dude staring at (and blatently harrassing verbally) young women who're too polite to tell to fuck off. And because he's JYP it's 'funny' instead of gross. This sort of shit shouldn't be excused because he's a known comedian goofball, this kind of joking around about asking a girl's measurements is exactly the kind of thing that leads to joking around about other things. And the idea of casually being allowed to ask a girl's measurements is a joke here, but its one that some idiots take seriously. As a girl whose been harassed like this, and as a girl with friends that have been harassed like this... it's not funny, it's not a joke, and it's not what the head of JYP Ent should be promoting at all, let alone personally. I have lost a significant amount of the little respect I had.
          The last time I was this outraged it was for Bangtan Boys' Boy In Luv, and that one had redeeming qualities and had been a promotional decision that was out of their hands. If anyone expects me to give the frickin founder, CEO, and whatnot of JYP Ent to have had any decisions about this made in a way that was beyond his control, they have another thing coming. No one has any delusions that Kpop is clean and wholesome at this point, but it should at least attempt to avoid promoting something this disgusting. I might be disparaging, but it's what this deserves.
          All that said, the song is really quite catchy and the song itself isn't really that bad. The lyrics discuss a singular attraction and deliver in an anecdotal style that doesn't really do too much damage in the way of supporting idiocy. It's a hella catchy track and the choreo looks like tons of fun (assuming the creeper old-guy bit goes away). I do enjoy listening to the song and watching choreo covers, but seriously, this video is not only disappointing, it's vulgar and offensive and I'm not going to excuse or forgive JYP for this, ever. No matter how catchy the track.

I Give It a 1/10:
 Wow, that's the best you can do?
