[theqoo] THE RETURN OF FIN.K.L, IS THE KOREAN SOCIETY READY TO SEE MIDDLE-AGE WOMEN AS THEY ARE?
Fin.K.L.’s return is not a step back into the past; it is a demonstration that the women who were once girls have not vanished. Their return to the stage serves as a declaration that a woman’s life continues well beyond her youth. However, for this declaration to hold its full significance, popular culture must also evolve. Middle-aged women should not merely be praised as exceptions who have successfully preserved their youth, but rather recognized as cultural agents who own their age and experiences.
1. What kind of article is this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. BABYVOX returned just fine last year, what are they talking about?
3. Just what kind of problem are we supposed to have with this?
4. I’m welcoming them so much
5. I don’t even see Fin.K.L as middle-aged women, more like Fin.K.L is just Fin.K.L
6. They’re not middle-aged idols, they’re simply idols
7. Do people even bother clicking on the articles before commenting? This was certainly worth a read…
“Comments like “I can’t believe her age,” “She looks exactly the same,” and “She still looks like a young girl” pour in. While these sound like compliments, there is a clear condition hidden beneath them: a woman is only welcomed if she manages not to look her age.
Male groups making a comeback after a long hiatus are hailed as “legends” or “masters.” Female singers, on the other hand, face far stricter scrutiny regarding their bodies. Their faces, figures, outfits, and expressions are all subject to judgment. For middle-aged women, the expectation is not to show the marks of the years they have lived, but rather to demonstrate how successfully they have erased them.”
8. Isn’t the point that we should focus on the experience they’ve accumulated, rather than just praising or fixating on how well they’ve maintained their appearance? I totally get what you mean
9. Those are the kinds of things people say about middle-aged male idols too though
10. I’m so looking forward to their promotions
