Will netizens ever stop?The Wondergirls are being slammed after a picture of members at a fan signing was released. Check out the picture~
Can you guess why the picture is “pathetic?” Me neither. If anything, I see some Sohee side-boob.
This, my English-speaking friends, is what we call a cultural difference. Korean netizens are all a frenzy at the picture displaying the Wondergirls signing a fan’s shoes. In Korea, the action can be seen as degrading: one bowing down to sign a shoe (similar to kissing one’s master’s feet perhaps?). In America, I see a punk-rock-ish fan (note: shoelaces, pants) asking the Wondergirls to sign his/her Converse sneakers.
Personally, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve draw on my own converse back in the day. Having an autograph on a pair of converse sounds quite impressive if you ask me. What do you think? Are the netizens too uptight or are the Wondergirls acting like cash cow slaves?
