We just don't want to be silenced,” Kia continues. “These are things that we hold dear to us. “Having to prove time and time that we belong here” is exhausting, says Ariana. Somebody had this before black people, get over it,’” Kia explains. It is frustrating, however, when other fans discount their concerns over how idols are styled. “We don't want our idols to get hate for that.” “If gets out to a wider audience of black people, it can be negative,” clarifies Kia. “We just want to educate our faves the nicest way we can,” says Ariana, because they want their idols to be seen for their talent, not for their mistakes. “There have been incidents of cultural appropriation and, you know, just ignorance,” she says, referring to K-pop’s long history of borrowing from black culture, but the girls see it as an opportunity for growth. “You get to meet new people through it and learn about other cultures.” But sometimes, the burden of educating others falls on them. “I love K-pop because it expands my horizons,” says Kia. The girls now have a “concert family” of other fans from Twitter that they meet up with for Chicago shows. I found K-pop and that helped fill the void it was there for me.” When the friends reunited, Ariana decided to give K-pop a chance, so Kia would “always have someone to talk to,” and they soon discovered that Georjay stanned Seventeen. “I'm pretty shy, and I don't make friends easily,” she said. She first got into K-pop in 2015 when she saw the bright, whimsical music video for GOT7’s “Just Right.” That was also around the time that she and the girls became more distant as they all entered high school. The video currently has more than 2.9M views across Twitter and Instagram, and the group texted NCTzens on Thursday, asking them to try the challenge themselves.įor Kia, this moment has been a long time coming. They imitate the girls as Johnny covers the lens with his hand, and they return in flashy, embroidered bomber jackets, ready to hit the stage for their performance at the Houston Rodeo, where they performed “Kick It” live for the first time. In the video, Chicago native Johnny crouches in the front as Kia while vocalists Doyoung and Jungwoo flank him on either side in place of Georjay and Ariana. ET on Wednesday, members of NCT 127 posted their own version of the challenge. “I was trying to like or respond to everybody because they were saying such nice things and I don't like leaving people on read!” Sometime that night, NCT 127’s official Twitter liked the post and then, a little after 9 a.m. On the other hand, NCT 127 2nd album 'NCT # 127 Neo Zone' will be released on 6th March at various music sites and will be released on the same day.Kia added the #KickItChallenge hashtag, posted the video to Twitter, and was so distracted by its popularity during dinner that she ended up taking her meal to-go.
