Not sure how many of you have seen this already, but I thought I’d share. It’s a spoken word poetry video where Stephanie Yun calls out Koreaboos and their appropriation of the Korean language. And the conclusion is fantastic:

“So, to the f**kers who insist that they’re just appreciating my culture:

Stop treating our language like merchandise from your favourite TV show

Being able to read English subtitles does not make it yours to keep

If you earnestly care about our culture,

Tie up the loose ends in your understanding

And trim the fragmented scraps from your tongue by taking the time to learn our language properly”
