[Pann] Why Kiko is not a 'right wing'

“Since I may be misunderstood by some people, I want to clarify that I am not G-Dragon’s fan.  I wasn’t familiar of Kiko either and I decided to do my own research after I heard her being hated on for being a ‘right wing’.  Same goes for Kiko but I hope other male and female idols won’t be hated on in the future for baseless rumours either.

This post is just my personal opinion so I hope this doesn’t cause any sharp-edged comments or start any fights.  If any problems arise, I’ll delete this.

I started to look at Kiko’s pictures and I found that she is charming.  I’m not a fan of GD but I found qualities in her that made me realize why GD would like her in the first place.  

People claim her of being a ‘right wing’ but the way I see it, I don’t think she is a ‘right wing’. I think she was just careless…

Just in case, I went ahead and watched a few videos and the way she acts does not seem like a right wing.  A characteristic of a right wing is that they don’t even want to speak of Korea.  

When her and GD’s dating scandal blew up, she uploaded the National flag of Korea on her Instagram.  Of course this might just be image making but if she really was a right wing, she would have never done that.  

Another example is of when she wrote her thoughts in Korean after receiving an award at the Sohu awards.  She’s a Korean American herself and I think she was just thoughtless in some of her actions.

In this video, she came to Korea to film and in the middle, she stated her mother is Korean.  Why would a right wing ever say something like this ㅋㅋㅋ If she was a right wing, she would have hid that fact.

Also, because she liked a picture of a ‘f*ck you’ hand sign towards the Tiananmen Square, people thought she was saying ‘f*ck you’ to Gyeongbokgung Palace.  That was not Gyeongbokgung Palace, it was Tiananmen Square.  Of course, you might say, but she still liked a photo like that, right?  She apologized for it.  The way I see it is she just does a lot of things without giving much thought to it.  In a lot of ways, she was just careless but she is not a ‘right wing’.

The problem is that people just jump on the bandwagon of calling her a right wing and they end up believing it. That’s why I searched if she really was.  If you think about it, she never had any intentions to stir up trouble.

She uploaded these two pictures with the caption in Korean.

You might think I’m posting this as a shield for her but that’s really not it.  It seems that people perceive her to be something that I don’t think she is, that’s why I’m just letting people know what I think of this situation.

I also thought that she was getting a lot of unnecessary hate on her Instagram.

I also heard from a fan that GD and Kiko met after Kiko went to a Big Bang concert and since GD has good connections among models, they met somehow and started from there.  I don’t know the exact details but if she was a ‘right wing’ she would have never gone to a Korean artists’ concert…

1. [+80, -3] Wow, so there’s actually one other person who has the same thoughts as I do.  I’ve always been interested in Japanese entertainment and celebrities so I researched more about her when their scandal came up.  No matter how I go about it, she doesn’t seem like a right wing.  But she does seem empty-headed and wild sometimes.  Also, without the name value of ‘GD’s girlfriend’, she wouldn’t catch the public’s interest as she has now.  Actually, she doesn’t even get treated as a Japanese there but rather as a mixed blood of Korean and American.  If you visit Yahoo Japan’s, she’s listed under ‘Foreign celebrities’. Out of all the rumoured right wing Japanese celebrities and businesses known in our country, most of them don’t seem right wing at all. It’s just based on acts that they haven’t really put much thought in and rumours that have spread and believed to be true. Because of the rumours about companies that were supposedly right wing, they put up clarification posts.  It seems like it was just a repertoire when they spread those rumours. It’s not that there aren’t any right wings at all among Japanese celebrities but most of them are actors or older celebrities in their 30’s to 50’s.  Right wings would never talk about Korea and they would never try to repair their image by saying they like Korea.  All the more, they would never do the same thing like Kiko who comes to Korea and comments on how much she likes it here.  The possibility of a right wing dating or marrying a Korean would also be 0%. On Japanese websites, she gets hate for being of Korean blood so isn’t it too much to call her a right wing…Of course it’s also her fault that she’s not as well-versed in our history but being ignorant about history and being a right wing are two completely different things.

2. [+70, -4] People just follow and believe what they hear from rumours… when Kiko first got publicly known in Korea, she was popular for her short hair and make-up.  After her scandal with GD, it’s those antis who want to ruin her image that started all sorts of rumours.  If she was a right wing, why in the world would she date a Korean?

3. [+65, -3] She’s not a right wing.  She just hangs out with the wrong type of people. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you analyze the so-called proof that she’s a ‘right wing’, none of them directly give evidence that she is one at all.

4. [+25, -2] That picture about the middle finger to the Tiananmen Square is actually a poster from a professional photographer that Kiko likes.  Please research your facts before you hate on someone.  You people who were trying to act all mighty and patriotic were hating on Kiko when you couldn’t even differentiate Tiananmen Square from Gyeongbokgung Palace?

5. [+20, -1] There was also a rumour going around that she was expelled from school and that she changed her name but I searched up an interview of her from when she first debuted and found that it's not true. She said that Kiko was the name her mother gave her and she’s used that since then… I actually feel bad for her since no one looks at her side and she just keeps on being misunderstood.

6. [+17, -2] Why did GD get hate…?  I feel so bad for them.

7. [+15, 0] When that scandal came up about the picture, Kiko apologized right away and said she likes Korea and clarified it asking people not to misunderstand…  it’s just that people are never interested in the clarification posts.

8. [+13, 0] She’s not a right wing? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow what are those people who hated on GD for dating a right wing going to say now?  And what about those people hating on GD even to this day tsk tsk?  

9. [+12, -1] Wow now that people say she’s not a right wing and put the attention to the fact that there’s no proof of it at all...  Those antis are trying to change the topic since they can’t find any proof either and they’re still hating on her.  Twisted people tsk tsk

10. [+12, 0] Wow, everything I’ve always wanted to say is in this post and the top comments.  I’ve always liked the short hairstyle and I saw Kiko’s picture and couldn't believe how pretty she looked with it.  I fell for her then.  I have so many pictures of her and she was my profile picture on Kakaotalk.  My friend messaged me saying she was a ‘right wing’ and I told her ‘What bullsh*t are you talking about?’  And she kept on insisting and making me try to believe itㅋㅋㅋ  Saying how she went to Korea and took pictures of this that… I couldn’t believe it.  This post just says everything I’ve wanted to say.  Those people who blindly hated on her need to go self-reflect. 

11. [+10, 0] I was Kiko's fan even before the scandal and all of a sudden she was known as a right wing.  I couldn't believe the stuff I was hearing since I knew she liked Korea... She's someone who doesn't even have a drop of Japanese blood in her.

12. [+9, -1] Didn't she already clarify so many times that she isn't a right wing?  She even apologized and tried to clear it up.  Can't people just stop now?  Why are these people making out a normal person to be a right wing?
