“she is ruining the image of Korea” yet only Koreans are reacting negatively☠️
only those judgemental koreans are ruining the image of korea 🥴
When infact the ones ruining the *ohh so important* "image of the korea" were themselves 😂😂
They care so much about the image because they want to hide the nasty, which is stupid, no country is perfect, I mean maybe some are close to it I just don't know lol
But it seemed just like any other controversial stuffs, in sense that the main reason it was brought upon public attention is only because of some hateful people ravaged and being loud. Most responses from this interview are actually quite mature and sensible. Of course, one can argue because they're being recorded. But they really discussed this thoroughly, they processed everything with consideration, took initiative to speak more about their personal opinions further that weren't exactly related to the questions. Including the girl who said that, I think she was just quoting what she heard online or partially agree out of concern that it might really impact the country in bad way. My point is, sure those pests need to be educated, but they are also just a small-ugly part of society to begin with.
Her family was involved which is not fun at all. Imagine your family being involved in such what will be your reaction
they should ALSO put this energy into racism, sexual harassment , corruption, etc. this is such a low class thing to cancel someone over, compared to other problem shaking issues
exactly
super materialistic.
yes schide her for a few days and move on.
if they had to cancel, just shows that they are uber jealous of her and cant stand seeing another person climb to the top.
most asian countries low key cant stand that.
Also the goddamn genocide happening in China right now to the Uyghur Muslims, but nope, no shits given from anyone this hugely at all, but shits given to this type of bs that's just not relevant or changing anyones life positively. Literally just judging and ruining a woman's whole career for hardly nothing😭
@@h.alm0896 thissss!!
Yasss
While many koreans still verbally abusing southeast asians because SEAns have darker skin
let's be honest here, the hate shes been receiving is not only because of the issue itself but it's more fueled due to the fact that she's pretty, successful at a young age and she's a woman lol.
It's really not that. I think as a luxury fashion influencer her audience just feel deceived. But yes the reaction is very out of proportion
@@schadenfreudeegoism7485 7 out 500+ items, what op said was true.
@@schadenfreudeegoism7485 Yeah no, let’s not act like being a woman doesn’t bring her vast backlash in Korea. It brings her lots of backlash.
Dont make a woman-thing out of it.
She was a woman even before receiving this negative press
and everything went fine for years. so clearly its not about her gender.
@@superyRun Her being a woman, and most importantly, a successful, independent one, DEFINITELY played a part on all the backlash she got.
People gotta stop bullying her and move on
😌
this
Everyone is being bullied there being a feminist is one and a daughter and mother suicide due to the hate comments they’ve received it’s just another whole new world out there. Idk how so toxic they can be, I just hope karma will get on their way.
@@user-ck6if5hg9n most feminsts are toxic nowadays so I don't know what you are on about
@@isagiyoichi5207 ah yes, a generalization of a community you definitely know nothing about.
The obsession with wealth and status and the blatant discrimination against people who were born with less money is so disgusting. I feel like throwing up.
I feel the same .
no one wants to date a homeless
@@umm3766 people like you deteriorate society 🤦🏻♀️
I fee the same. Disgusting! People need to mature up.
Yea it’s honestly really disgusting
show the same energy when it comes to racism, sexual harassment / assault and corruption, or else you’ll just look like hypocrites. talk about Big ProblemS
or suicide and mental health the things that actually matter it seems none of this ever gets the sense of urgency to address like trivial matters
@@jojorcxo2447 how can they care about suicide and mental health issues, when it’s situations like this that push people to their death.
Exactly not to talk down on Korea but they be worrying about the wrong things, this seems so silly to me.
@@catchmeifyoucan1095 fr they be destroying a whole life by something like this, like ????
Omg yes,l but Korea has always been like this, they only care about their own ppl and culture yk
she did not deface korea 🙄 if anything the korean public’s reaction to her scandal is defacing korea because internationally people don’t care as much, this level of scrutiny over designer goods seems like a massive over reaction
LMAO RIGHT?! Like y’all got it wrong!! Instead y’all made ur society look stupid af
exactly lol
true. If these so-called righteous South Koreans check the comments, they should be ashamed of themselves. Like literally not a lot of people really cares much about these internationally. We can say a thing or two then forget about it in the next few days.
If she ended up with one or two fake bags, you're right. But she crossed the line. it's like a crime Making money with counterfeit products is a problem.
@@skyshin39 Sure, you're giving reasoning. But it is not a justification to think she is defacing an entirety of a country for several scams. We do this all the time in America and nobody says scammers are a disgrace to America. There's more positivity about Korea I've seen, I hardly think this situation will never equate enough to make a dent into a country's reputation.
a korean psychologist once said “korean people follow trend like culture”. its a society where the materials you own is how you are seen and valued as a person. ever since this issue started foreigners including me saw where it was wrong but also weren’t as outraged as korean netizens but after seeing the hate get increasingly worse, even moving on to her family i could only see jealousy and the lengths they went to tear her down it was more than her just lying and deceiving to them. i feel like korean society has a big part in the mistake she made and even more in the way they reacted. just wish people could focus on the issue at hand and let people learn and try again.
I mean, she was working with the businesses she did sponsor for and fake. That’s horrid business practicing.
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 yea ik that LOL im not saying she’s not wrong as said in my previous statement. just wanted to really focus on the reactions that took place after her mistakes in my statement which is on topic with the video.
Korea is one of the safest country in the world its also Few country that Delivery packages dont get stolen people value good ethics in korea that's why people don't want Famous people lying on TV or internet I think you have very biased view of Korea lol
@@tonykim3033 lol...say to the koreans who abuse immigrants people who work for them....remember that in the south of korea few ago ,it was koreans who abused and exploited vietnamese immigrants like slave in their salt farm without pay/food and by keeping their passport ....i love korea ,its culture and people,but it's not a black and white country with unicorn and people running happily everywhere ....there's a lot of darkness too
@@leeaznmode bad group of people are Everywhere i,m not saying Korea don't have issues and it's perfect country but i,m making a point because Some comments seems to really arrogantly judge korean morals and Ethics when things are way worse than korea lol
Comeon, this was never about fake goods. Korean society is just extremely materialistic and hierarchical, and many of them worshipped and idolized this girl because she presented herself as being better than all the average plebs, and now that her facade is cracked they pile on to tear her down to make them feel better about themselves. Of course I think many cultures do this, but Korea is particularly extreme in this regard.
The real lesson here is that in the age of the internet, the hive mind panopticon sees all. If you are internet famous, you better keep it real.
you consciencious af
You are totally right, tbh i never understood the idolization towards this girl, because she had a very bland personality and was sooo superficial(on singles inferno at least)but it’s irrefutable how gorgeous and stylish she is and plus RICH af, and that what’s matters in Korea for most people.. (English is not my first language sorry for the mistakes)
Spill. Also I think they are jealous, like why is this person faking it and being successful when I can’t?
I mean part of the reason they worship this type of ‘rich kids’ image might be large cooperations did in charge of S Korean society even politics, social mobility is extremely limited, and people know that you born right are more important than work hard. Many Korean celebrities today also from pretty well-off, normal people really don’t have access to that much resources except get into good college and married rich.
You have no clue what your talking about go to korea before you run your mouth on the internet.
This whole issue just makes Korean society (mainly the cyberbullying/netizen "culture") look extremely pathetic to get worked up over such an insignificant issue.
I agree
tats actually true
Totally agree.
the country is the victim of shitty media.
Yes it is Korean haters themselves who bring down the image of their nation
I asked a coworker whether my coat was fake because someone else made me doubt it was real because of were I told them I bought it. My coworker told me “you’re an adult now why should you care about that, do you like your coat or not?” Ever since that day I’ve been ashamed to care about whether an item is real or not. Now I only care if I like it or not.
Another person told me anytime a luxury brand puts their logo on a item of clothing blatantly it’s because it was made for the plebs to stunt with, because real wealthy people wouldn’t wear something so garish.
ikr... the richest person I know use the regular shirt that I have.
In the public, you won't know that his house is as big as a palace.
Heck... even his car is only "Honda HRV".
Y’all are not famous y’all are not being sponsored to promote products from luxury brands that turn out to be fake ofc no one will care about regular people
@@angelapaloma8973 I want to know how she hurt you?
@@ThePricklyash the problem is not whether she chose to wear fake products or not, besides the fact that it’s an illegal market, that’s still her personal decision. The problem is that she acted and promoted them as if they were authentic, that is lying to her viewers and also she worked with some of these brands and that is incredibly bad business on her end. Also, she says she wants to launch her own line, I’m 100% sure she would not be okay with someone doing the same to her brand/label. People see it as is she fabricated her life and is a unauthentic person. Her mistake was actually talking about her fake items as if they were real. Then her coming out and saying that she didn’t know that the sweaters etc were fakes is absurd. Now does she need to be “canceled” over this? Absolutely not, people in the public eye have done worse and are still active and have fans. She’ll be fine and her loyal followers will still be there whenever she decides to go back to film her videos etc.
Real wealthy people do flash their money. Why do y’all lie to yourselves? Do y’all just wanna ignore all the constant wealthy people who have mansions and millions of houses for no reason, and it raises the housing market? Y’all need to unpack your internalized misogyny.
I'm SO GLAD social status, looks, or fashion don't matter to me at all, and not so much to my city as well. I can't believe this is actually a true story and a true thing. I just care about living, my family, and friends, and having my basic vital needs covered. This is completely like science fiction to me, to be cancelled over this.
Yeah, it became a problem sometimes. In my country when skincare product has become a thing. People's preference for beauty standards suddenly changed and sometimes became harsh and pointless. We should have fair skin, no texture, a clean face with no acne, natural makeup thingy. Yeah, we can't force someone for their preference on what beauty it's like. But it becomes wrong when you push someone to fit into that beauty standard that everyone created.
i'd consider you lucky to have that type of environment. where i'm from, i've seen both spectrum and can understand how someone would succumb to such "vain" way of life. it's a lot of pressure to be surrounded by people who would judge us from the brands we wear, the gadgets we own, and stuff like that. not to mention it's human nature to wanna blend in. so as subtle as it is, those things will begin to matter if we're surrounded by bad influence
Same. I keep going "wtf". This whole thing is so bizarre to me!
I feel really bad for her. I don’t think what she did is comparable to her whole career being ruined (and basically vanished) like now. However, just like any other industry that exist, fashion is also a big deal for certain communities. Just because you don’t like clothes or don’t know brands, doesn’t mean that it meant nothing. What she did was wrong, but the hatewagon is too much. She acknowledge her mistakes and apologized to the brands. Whether the brands accept it or not, it’s their matter. Not us. I hope people understand that
Agree. She acknowledged it was not a good thing to do especially knowing she wanted to launch her own clothing brand. i hope she can recover and come back to the screen because shes not a criminal
When your target demographic is female, you must know that female demographic bullies more in social media than male
The netizens bullied this girl to shame her. It was unnecessarily vitriol. There was no need for the death threats to her family. This is why young TH-camrs kill themselves
Her whole career is not ruined. In Korea, whenever celebrities have a controversy they take a 'break' for a few months and eventually return back when they get less media attention. Overall, there are more pros than cons as she eventually gained popularity and more followers on youtube and other social platforms. She will be back in a few months time
She'll be back in a few months anyway.
Honestly...the only negativity she’s receiving is from Koreans themselves. At least the majority. I don’t think it’s right to say she’s defaced Korea. That’s going too far. I bet a lot of the people they just interviewed has received/bought knockoff of things too.
Yeah , just a bunch of judgemental knetizen lol
I'm surprised cause the counterfeit culture in Korea is huge. Can't go a hundred feet without spotting fake Converse Allstars or Supreme gear.
btw the girl wasnt saying Freezia defaced Korea, she was asked what people were saying on the issue and the lady in the video was just quoting them
And if those ppl have knockoff things, do u see them on the internet bragging about how rich they are???
@@-baka-9814 Yes. It happens 24/7. Celebrities do it all the time here in America until they can afford the real thing. 💀
One girl said that FreeZia "defaced Korea as a nation" like the entire TV show she was in was not based on colourist comments and beliefs. They need to rethink their priorities
All the social problems in Korea and they choose to turn heads over an influencer wearing fake luxuries tells me exactly where their priorities lie. Coming up with excuses such as defacing Korea and luxury brands are just futile excuses to hate. Trust me honey, those luxury brands are doing just fine. Usually, with any famous Korean celebrity controversies, it’s never the global audience but rather the Korean fan base that be doing too much.
There is no words like "defacing Korea" in the interviews. Asian Boss mistranslated, oh no, AB created the part like always. To be honest, FreeZia is/was not a big issue in Korea, only among some internet communities. Why don't you stop stalking other country's trifling gossip and pay attention to yourself and your family.
fr, high suicide rates, high depression and stress, tons of cults, homophobia, rape culture,
lookism, high homeless rate... and they choose to focus on this LOL. The amount of hate shes receiving is literally on par with what the abusers and rapists received, but her only mistake was wearing fakes and being fake. also, none of the brands even sued her anyways.
@@ambery6461 ahhh youre mad
@@nia7653 Yes, I'm mad. Everyone comes to AsianBoss looking for Asian fetishism and trash gossips related to Asians. That's why you clicked this video, isn't it? But on the comment section, all of a sudden they became saints and scream "There are more important things like hunger, war, rape, violence, etc.than using knock-offs. Oh, really? Then go for volunteer works instead of spending your time for Asian Boss - the yellow, trash 3-tier channel full of propaganda.
@@ambery6461 Yet your also wasting time clicking around TH-cam watching the same videos. The Netflix show was very popular globally and the people in the comments wanted the real opinions of actual Koreans I would hardly call that propaganda. Your upset about criticism that does not even directly affect you did you get appointed the representative of Korea 😂😂
In a country where your image is everything, I'm not surprised this happened when I first saw the story. People follow trends heavily in Korea and brand names is "in" now. Wearing designer clothes makes you more special and people make every efforts to increase their image. I was gifted a purse that was worth more than triple the amount of the rest of my outfits and got several compliments the first time I used it in public. It's a nice purse but I still struggle to see how expensive items make you. Social media and other factors can be blamed for this mentality in S.Korea and it will continue to get worse.
Its just a cultural difference, it doesnt matter if there is social media or not
Did you even watch The video?
This is what I tell younger girls when they are obsessing over korea due to kpop and want to date koreans. You see there is only one side to the story, those artists aren’t even allowed to be themselves or voice their true opinions. They are so scared of being cancelled over the smallest most insignificant trivial issue. I can’t believe she got cancelled and death threats over a fake bag like what ? Lol what a joke. It’s such a materialistic and toxic culture with no artist freedom and extreme cases of cyber bullying. Everything is about image and who has more money. And most of this hate is coming from koreans not us. They think their image is ruined over a girl carrying a fake bag ? lol ask any of us if we care ? Cause we don’t.
@@chafiqbantla1816 social media definitely plays a part though it’s a place where everyone is trying to sell a fake version of themselves, always happy, always successful, which is very toxic. And it’s amplified in Korea
@@Nazey09 agreed. SK have a really high standard in everything. Every country have their positive and negative sides, id prefer to come to korea for trips, entertainment, and educational purposes but to live there...hmm idk :D
People are acting like she killed someone, sure it's not cool to lie but to be cancelled is pretty harsh.
What gets me is that some people went as far as to bash her looks, cause I guess they ran out of malicious comments to throw so why not degrade her image.
@@aestheticcat8976 yeah it was evil. Some people even reached out to the family. The stretch was so uncalled for
They actually sent her family death threats. WHat kind of inhumane people are these?
@@rosean374 That's the lowest of the low. 🙄
Killers in Korea don’t even get this type of punishment smh
First World problems. OECD woes.
Coming from a developing country, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this issue. Thanks Asian Boss for showing me how others live, and what they think.
Wow I can relate to you. In my country, it's common to get off brand or secondhand or dupes. You can actually impress people if you got a high quality imitation for an affordable price. The better you look and the less you spend, the more people will be impressed by you. Though I can't speak for the upper class society of my country who legitimately buy luxury items-all I know is if they buy dupes, they wouldn't get cancelled like FreeZia was. Hardly anyone would care.
lol. Am suddenly thankful I am not Korean. The expectation to be a perfect human being. whew!
I think the key is not to forget that your value as a human being ought not come from what you wear. Character has got to count more no.
I *wear* those clothes. I never let them wear me.
Maybe I just don't care enough about my appearance. I don't own any designer clothing either. It's OK that I can't afford it. I can live with that. Lol.
The lady at 11:22 explains exactly why this is the issue. It's not that big of an issue if the fake goods is purchased by an individual. I mean no one says anything if you "pirate" stream a movie from some weird website. However it becomes an issue if a "Movie theater" streams movie from illegal site.
So that lady is saying that it's an issue because freezia goes from just an individual to a public face. She would have been fine if she was just a private person that does youtube but once she's on mainstream media, and actually starts to get real brand endorsements, I guess people have problem with that. Sure "Fake it til you make it" quote exists but should a Robber(thief) become a Banker?
@@SaNgJuN86 I don't agree with that lady. Celebrities are not public property. They're still people. She said, "private individuals dress for personal satisfaction, while celebrities dress to please the public." That's a twisted way of thinking. Celebrities also have the right to wear whatever they want and express themselves through clothes. They're not public property that have to appease the public to exist.
The lady also claimed that celebrities make money off of looking good. That's not an absolute rule though. In my country, a lot of influencers and famous people don't wear brand clothes, they become famous because of their fun personality, talent, or humor.
I do agree that FreeZia deserves criticism because she was sponsored by those brands but wore fakes. Like you said, movie theaters can't stream pirated copies. It's not because FreeZia is a celebrity, it's specifically because she's sponsored by those brands which is why her actions deserve to be criticized.
But honestly? I don't care. Those multimillion brands don't need ordinary people like us to defend them and attack FreeZia on behalf. Those multimillion brands exploit workers in poorer countries, working in sweatshops in awful conditions. I don't really give a damn if people like FreeZia take advantage of them.
The last guy really said it all.
In my opinion, let the brands sue FreeZia if they want, but if I were Korean, I would stand up for her right to basically have her voice (and YT) back. I think it's best to use empathy in dealing with this situation. I empathize with FreeZia because brands can be quite pressuring and toxic.. I just wonder who those so called friends who leaked the info and made it 'controversial'
I feel like this is such a none issue. There are so many worse things she could have done, than wear a few fake bags. People are upset because she didn't disclaim they were fake, what about the fitness influences who claim their body is 100% from gains, or the guys flexing fancy cars they're 3 months late on. Everybody does this, you should just take what you see on social media with a grain of salt. I don't usually think criticism is rooted in jealousy, but it seems like people didn't like her fast come up and were more than glad to latch onto the first scandal they could. I don't like flex culture/ pretending to have more money than you actually do, but I feel that the backlash this girl is facing is in no way proportional to what she did.
In my country and many others, wearing fake luxury goods can get you arrested. It is a big deal so of course she'll get criticized for doing it on television. Threats on the other hand is crossing the line. Hopefully it will blow over eventually.
I agree completely
Listen what she did is wrong no matter what and just because a few others faked their way to fame doesn’t make it a less of a big deal. People went overboard with the criticism/hate, that’s all
Same with idols and celebrities with fake beauty and all. What’s the difference between Wearing fake beauty and fake items lol. When they did plastic surgery they’re also considered as fake beauty.
@@lynabc3826 The difference is that fake luxury items are making brands lose a ton of money and are completely illegal. Poor judgement on her part to be wearing such things on television, of all places.
It’s honestly scary how ready everyone was to tear her down given a sliver of opportunity to. Everyone is suddenly morally perfect and can’t stand how she would disrespect brands as if that’s some important issue. People gonna be mad at her for being fake?? When literally all celebrities images are manufactured??? She should come to the west we don’t mind smh
It’s never about the fake goods. It’s about tearing down an idol to make them feel better about themselves. The west does the same thing, it’s just way more extreme in Korea because their social hierarchy is so rigid and the culture so materialistic and image conscious.
Oh really? Then explain why the exact same thing happened to Madison Beer
I now actually get why the young koreans easily take their own lives when they cant deal with such pressure. It is impossible to overcome such cultural expectations. :(
I mean in the USA we actually amused by the "faking it till you make it," hustle. Yet this seem a worse sin than murder in korea!
@Jamey` Yes, it became a joke. But we know he an icon. 💙😭
First there has so many nice clothes that are not from famous brands but still looks good, so while wearing fake clothes and lying is not so good.
I saw a comment where someone was saying “South Korea is a country living in 2050 in terms of technology but with a mentality of 1920”.
🤭🤭🤭 i would give this comment thousands of likes if i could
Am I the only one who rolled my eyes at 6:40 when the women said Koreans have high moral standards? The irony of that is that they also live in a country with extremely high suicide rates and horrible "moral"/social issues(bullying, harassment, physical abuse, sexual assault etc.) that are not taken seriously. *offenders get slaps on the wrist*. Where the heck is the morality in that? I need to see the smoke that they have for FreeZia extended to actual criminals(rapists, abusers, corrupt politicians and cops) in their country. Hypocrisy abounds....
I'm pretty sure it turns out she had 500 products in total that she showed to the public (yt vids, Instagram, tv), and only 20/500 turned out to be fake. People claimed that
even more were fake but they were proved to be real.
So she's getting cancelled over nothing
it’s actually not just 200, but 500 items.
@Famished forlove Dispatch did an interview with her where they appraised her luxury items and that’s where OP got their info from :)
Wt is wrong with that
@@Dani-ql7xb i don’t think they could actually evaluate that many items…and we might never know how many items she hasn’t showed them. It’s not the first time she has lied after all. But anyways, I still believe she shouldn’t get canceled over this matter. Those brands might sue her but we shouldn’t ruin her life like this
Okay, what she did was indeed wrong. She is an influencer. Her youtube channel is all about fashion. She even want to launch her own brand. She basically lied to the audience. BUT attacking her to the point that insulting her looks, her personal life, and even her family is so wrong !!! The hate is totally out of portion !
When your target audience is female, you must understand that female bullies more than male.
The difference is male bullies physically where female bullies verbally.
The laws only covers for physical abuse not verbal abuse.
Even though attacking by her looks is so wrong, still it’s her fault. Just like you said, those are different issues.
@@Dominus_Potatus im pretty sure the female ones arent that much of a threat but then again its more of the dishonor that she did by wearing fake jewelry AND posting it.
@@smkdc its her fault she make a mistake but who are you/they to attack her below the belt? Are you even perfect to say that its her fault
It’s like as if she never created a fake lifestyle to have this happen to her 🤔
Few weeks ago a volleyball player and a streamer killed themselves. How many more deaths korean netizens want to see ?? It's very sad and disturbing. It's like they chose a target once a month and then once the job is done, move on to the next. Creepy.
This is a topic I wish we were talking about. It’s insane how I don’t see people in Korea speaking up about this much.
Korea have one of the highest rates of suicide and tbh the government kinda do nothing to stop this mess.
Funny how high moral standards are mentioned yet the value of a person is determined based on materialistic factors such as wealth, status and outer appearance rather than character and contribution to society.
Have you ever lived in Korea? In Korea, it is true that wealth, status, and appearance are important, but at the same time, personality is also important. It won't be that different from your country than you think. If only wealth, status, and appearance mattered, there would be absolutely no reason for it to be canceled because it is what freezia has. I know the cancellation about her is excessive. But when it comes to moral standards for celebrities, why do you think it's a lie? Koreans do not realize that celebrities are actually the same human like us, and when they make a mistake, they criticize it excessively and even cancel it. This is because they expect unrealistically high morals from celebrities. All celebrities who are canceled are people with good wealth, status, and good looks.
So true
Felt like the consequences were too harsh on her
It's kind of a shame that for such a technologically developed country, South Korea is still so obsessed with physical appearance and is so quick to judge celebrities and influencers over every little thing. Even if FreeZia is 'canceled' odds are she's made enough money to retire or do whatever else she wants to do.
Why is it that so many people care so much about owning brand name things? This whole obsessing over money, brand names, etc... It's not really sustainable in the long run and really it doesn't matter. People also need to accept that influencers & celebrities are also human too. But human nature unfortunately is more obsessed with things to criticize others and because of the lifestyle and image celebrities & influencers try to give off, naturally they'd be analyzed with everything the do by people.
Ikr, south korea is a very materialistic society. I can't even imagine the amount of scrutiny I would recive if I lived there😞
Not only Korea but also most countries are obsessed with faces. The basis for this is "racism."
@@samshridiagnostics7593 @dO We hAvE RiCe?? wake up the all world is materialistic, social media does not help, and I think that influencer just like her feeds that trend that value people according to their wealth and she got caught up in her own game. That being said the shame of lying and getting exposed like that should be enough of a punishement but netizens in general are very quick to tear down the people they once admired and envied, cancel culture is the new thing you can't blame only Korea.
@@qlool3181 bro what? How are those even related
Man, living in SK sounds like hell.
People there are just so obsessed with being superficial. One wrong move can literally end your life.
@@_master youre korean? I would type in korean right now but my laptop doesnt support international languages. Anyways I wanted to add that my time there 4th grade-9th grade was pretty bad. A few things i enjoyed there was the fact there were many c u conviencie stores and a lot of transportation. I lived in Hannam-dong right across gangnam and yeouido. However I feel like the constant judgement and pressure from hakwon and other peers sucked. I currently go to highschool in America. However everything here is a lot more calm where as Korea was a lot more hectic. I still remember trying to finish my YCT Chinese books. I am now 2 grades above highschool standard in math and know 3 languages that are useless. I feel that the Korean society should adjust into a more modern system rather than such a society stemed around education and class.
@@Kayden_Kim Yesss i agree with you
@Medea it is very much. There are a lot of modern webtoons that touches that particular issue. Not sure if you’ve heard of Lookism and Viral Hit. It’s a webtoon from the same author and there are issues that are being touched there about their society.
This reminds me of an interview with a North Korean defector saying that they might have execuetions in North Korea but in the South they did them publicly. He thought about going back. That really says something. 💔
damn :/
I don’t approve of the bullying and insults, yes acting fake is decieving but it’s not something that is a crime. People are just mad that she looks pretty despite not having high brand products
Buying fakes is reprehensible by the law though, but true, the hate is disproportionate.
The hate is too much but saying what she did was not bad is wrong. Her whole career was built on buying authentic branded goods and even if one of them turns out to be fake, she deceived her audience. Its like a news coming out that Mcdonald used a spoilt vegetable or whatever for one of their burgers and sold it as an edible one. She deserved the hate in the beginning but it got too far and now its just stupid.
@@AlexClayland1232 dude the vast majority of her clothes are actually designer only a few were fake.
@@AlexClayland1232 I think westerners understand well the context and implications, what's hard to understand is the amount of hate and harassment.
@@AlexClayland1232 yes that’s exactly why Koreans are upset… it’s not “sensitive Koreans” getting mad over counterfeit products!!! Korea produces counterfeit items (especially back in the 90s) sometimes so that’s definitely NOT the problem.
Some people need to watch a show called "Fake Famous", there's tons of influencers out there faking a luxurious life until they actually make it far enough to afford one. They're buying likes/followers, doing extravagant photoshoots, renting designer items (cars,clothes,shoes) and so fort just to appear rich/popular on social media. The punishment is way to harsh, some people were even acting as if she betrayed them when like I said she's not the only one out here doing what she had done. Wake up and smell the coffee, not everything on social media is real nor are the people you worship on the daily.
Which is how news earn money by spreading bad things even if it's fake. Coffs-western media
@@adamas9714 its just the same damn process for any protest or political statement about anoher country.
Yes, most fake it!
To the girl who said Jia defaced Korea's image to people overseas is BS, because it was the cancelling of her that makes us upset, not that she used fake good! Most of us like her and would welcome her with open arms ngl
tbh the backlash wouldn't be this bad if a guy did this but yet again, cancelling people is a popular Korean activity.
Wow never thought this would matter anymore in this day and age, but I guess it does for Koreans
Koreans today are very sensitive.
@@ttoja1267 super sensitive
Anything does for koreans
Yeah, it's baffling to me! It's very shallow.
Not for koreans but especially celebrities
Can you guys ask people about why they think mid-class employees buy luxury goods a lot in Korea (to the point they pay with installments)?
In terms of luxury cars, some young Koreans, especially guys buy expensive used cars while they make less than $2000/month because they have YOLO or One life to live mindset. It's another way of committing suicide.
@석진 one question: any mclaren’s
Well most luxury goods are not for rich people, are for mid class people who want to look rich... and this is not just in South Korea but in any country
Koreans live by the motto "clothes maketh the man". Many judge a person by how she/he looks, lives, speaks on the outside. In that culture, buying things one can only afford in installments is not a waste but rather a form of investment. The payoff is being well received and well thought of by others. Shallow, yes. But not all. Just a lot.
@@ns-4438 less than 2k per month but buying expensive (though used) car??? The guts… 😭
Free Jia from this fuckin controversy. There are so many influencers trying to fake an ideal life and all she did was wear some fake clothing. Why do people give so much importance to the brands? I know she is also trying to sell a "rich girl" image but not all of her items were fake. Can we just let this whole thing go? I'm seriously starting to get annoyed by all these brands and the people who make us feel that owning a branded item is all there is to life.
In the interview Jia did with dispatch it was proven that only 20 out of the 500 luxury items she showed in her yt vids and Instagram pics were fake. She also cleared up that most of the fakes were gifts she recieved , she wore some just bcuz they looked pretty. Yes it was wrong and she apologized about it and it's up to the brands to accept that apology or not but the Korean netizens are just taking this as an opportunity to straight up ruin her career. They made up various fake news about how Jia never paid for her apartment and how she was "faking" her whole life. Many shows either edited parts of jia's appearance or removed the videos of her. She's just 25 and will grow more mature over the years. Please support Jia.
Even less, 20 were suspected but only 8 turned out to be fake.
I still like Jia
The koreans that are so critical of her are so blind to the greater wrong that is the Korean cultures obsession with wealth/position/class. They uphold this system that socially punishes the mid and lower class majority and allows those with power to continue to hoard resources, against their own interests.
While I know their are korean out there that take issue with those aspects of their culture it was a shame we didn't really get to hear them here. While their are also certainly Americans who would feel similar to these Koreans I can't help but thing that most would be apathetic and a good number would be like "good for her tricking the rich. You go girl".
Calling her out is okay since people of her stature should always be aware of the message they are trying to convey. But harrasing her and her family is a different story. She or any one for that matter do not deserve to be harrassed and bombarded. We should learn how to point out the wrong and be respectful at the same time. This is also a good opportunity for her and for a lot of influencer to instead of indulging to branded items, maybe it is time for them to suppprt and promote the local industry.
This is no longer about the fake goods. This is more about the korean women who are just tearing her down just because she has the confidence and charisma they’ll never have.
So embarrassing that literal grown adults are bullying people for wearing désigner knock offs - I’m pretty sure most if not all turned out to be real too 🙄
FreeZia and others like her are merely symptoms of a larger problem, of people putting so much value in monetary wealth. They are merely capitalizing on that, so I cant blame them.
The happiest people I know enjoy the little things in life like just chilling with the homies/ladies while drinking some beers, spending time with the fam, etc. Ive known some "old money" people, and they have that part figured out. You wouldnt know that they are wealthy at all. So perhaps those are the things we should strive for.
Thanl you for coming to my TedTalk.
People born with money always say money doesn’t matter. It’s nothing new.
@@M0ebius nothing can be truer than this hahaha
But yeah, people with old money rarely use branded because they figured out it is useless. The best brand is money.
You can use flip flop, shorts, and shirts and people will still follow you because you have a brand, named: money
She kinda has low self-eteem, despite being pretty, she's trying too hard to look cool and unapproacheble but failed.
I agree that ideally we should all strive toward simply enjoying the little things in life, but doing this is so much easier when you’re wealthy and essentially set for life. Financial status is, unfortunately, one of the most important things in life, so of course a lot of wealthier people are just generally more happy - they’ve already got one of the most important aspects figured out.
@@skyla_ she does look cool so 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of influencers and even celebrities buy fake goods of top quality just to flex. The backlash Jia received was way too much imo :/
Celebrities buy so much fake things. 😭
Even before this controversy, there was definitely a lot of bitterness and jealousy from people who were envious of her image and success, so when they found out that her image was less than perfect, they jumped at thr opportunity to absolutely tear her down. This is why the comments were so extreme, and this controversy lasted for so long. It literally became a witch-hunt fuelled by Korea’s unhealthy obsession with superficial qualities which were all embodied by this one girl.
Yes
So true. You summarized the key point of this whole issue-thing.
Some good points i got from a girl & two guys at the end :
1st, "we don't gain anything good by put someone else down." And, "Rather than to put others down, better we invest our times to improving ourselves & become a better person." And the most interesting is from the guy with black outfit : "This Real World is exist, beyond our keyboards & screens". ☺️☺️☺️
I really detest when they use as an argument that 'this one individual's actions are embarrassing for Korea/China/Japan as a whole' or 'ruining the reputation of Korea/China/Japan overseas'. I don't see this used in Europe or USA.
Because that's NOT how that works. That's also problematic because that shows that they would see it as such. Which is... crazy.
Different culture i guess. Asians are generally more collective where as the west are more individuallist. You can't really say which is better since they both have their pros and cons. Looks at Covid people in the west still protesting to not get vacinated.
@@vilester Different cultures having different pros and cons is certainly not the issue.
Using false rhetoric, to bring an individual down, is the issue.
The only ones ruining the reputation of their countries are themselves with how they are acting with their twisted priorities.
Conformist society!! Collectivism! That's why.
I feel really sorry for her. She's a product of her environment and it led her to create this fake lifestyle. Watching her videos after Single's Inferno, I found her very likeable.
It will be hard for her to recover, especially since she wore some fake items, it can be unforgiving in the luxury world for them to be affiliated with her in any way.
I feel the bigger issue that shines through this entire incident is the fact that a large section of the current generation is leaning towards to image consciousness. They are willing to shell out so much constantly to maintain their image and expect their favourite influencers to do the same.
For a country that has one of the highest plastic surgery rates in the world, I find it ironic that they give someone so much crap for fake products when so many people have ‘fake’ faces that are widely accepted.
This
My man
Lol
I understand the irony, but is it possible to directly compare products and plastic surgery?
There are other countries that do a lot of plastic surgery. Are they tolerant of fake products? If a famous person in your country falsely claims that a fake brand is a real brand, is there any problem with that?
Of course, it is true that criticism of her is excessive.
But you seem to be saying that Koreans shouldn't criticize fake products. Koreans aren't the only ones who do plastic surgery in Korea. It is famous for it, so many Asians come and Westerners also come. It's all included and the stats come out.
And the most common cosmetic surgery performed by Korean women is double surgery. That's why the statistics are high. And Korea's beauty standards are distorted, and that's because society has a lot of pressure on appearance.
In a situation like this, do you want people to blame each other for the fake face?
Then it becomes another bullring. So people think that plastic surgery is their freedom, no one interferes. But is your country accusing people of plastic surgery as fake? I don't think so. You won't even care about them.
It is absurd to say that people should not criticize fake products just because they have a high rate of plastic surgery. You are saying that because you want to mock Koreans, but that is actually a different matter. Even in other countries, people won't like to see famous influencers on TH-cam or streaming platforms lying about fake brands as if they were real ones. However, it is true that the criticism against her is excessive.
Its like saying "i need real luxury products, f for fake product" when their most important assets (body) has been fake from the very start
“Koreans have high standards for celebrities” I’m sorry I had to laugh🤣🤣🤣🤣 they canceled Sam for calling out blackface but endorse xenophobia, cultural appropriation and blackface on their variety shows?
Koreas culture is different, many people just can not imagine
You seem to misunderstand the standards of celebrities in Korea. That's not to say that standards are right.
And Sam spoke as if he was demeaning most Koreans for what some high school students did wrong. He was able to communicate with Koreans in a good way. However, he chose to appear on BBC foreign radio broadcasts and criticize Koreans with foreigners on social media. People thought that his behavior was not the attitude of a celebrity who has been loved in Korea. People felt betrayed and wanted to cancel him.
(I'm not saying the cancellation was justified. I'm talking about what Koreans think about Sam's incident. And not because he's black. Besides that, there are also black people who have recently become famous on Korean TV.) Foreigners and Korean celebrities can criticize Korea, but when it's morally bad, people cancel them. High standards for celebrities refer to high morality and attitude toward viewers and fans. Of course, many Koreans are increasingly aware that it is an excessive expectation of celebrities. If you look at this freezia case, you can clearly see that there is a problem. Celebrities are just human beings. Koreans will need time to change in this area.
"A (korean) society where moral values are highly valued". Their language even has several levels of "respect". But their behavior most of the time is very questionable. Sometimes too cruel, judgmental and disrespectful using very harsh words to other.
I’m sorry but how is passing off knockoff luxury bags as real anymore problematic than 99% of korean celebrities passing off their plastic surgery as natural?
LMAO
😩🤌
This literally was an example of making a bigger deal of something that wasn't even a big deal to begin with
If she got sponsored by real brands after wearing knockoffs, it just shows how good she is at promoting stuff 🤷♀
And yeah, I agree, the people that manufacture and sell knockoffs are stealing other people's designs. But people who don't have money also deserve to look fabulous. Looking good shouldn't just be for rich people. Especially it's not fair when people have to start their "influencer career" by buying expensive stuff and showing off on social media. That's not talent, that's just showing off that you're rich.
You don't have to wear luxury brands or to look fabulous. There's plenty of "cheap" brands you can buy from whose clothes and items look way nicer than those from expensive luxury brands. If their social standards weren't so high and everybody wasn't obsessed with showing off their money she wouldn't have done what she did.
@@pauedi1998 100% The classism that couple was talking about was particularly bad.
You can look good without buy luxury brands,if you don't have money don't buy,there are cheap brands that can make make you look good.
There are plenty of modest price clothing brands like Levis, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Aritzia, Kate Spade and Coach that make really cute stuff. They're big brand names too, but they're not luxury.
@@pauedi1998 Lmao what 😭 I’m Korean and most people don’t buy expensive clothing. She chose to buy luxury stuff for her own image, not because of their standards. No one actually wears these expensive clothing unless you yourself is materialistic or you’re very rich. Not saying she deserves the hate but it’s not Korea that made her but fakes lmao.
When I heard people talking about how Korean audiences hold celebrities to a stricter moral code, I'm wondering how so many male celebrities get away with body shaming people, sometimes even their co-stars. Seems the standards are a bit unbalanced. Also, didn't a couple of high profile male K-pop idols just get their sentences dramatically reduced for crimes that would have at least gotten them a decade in jail in other countries?
Body shaming and colorism are not even looked at + there are many men in the korean entertainment industry esp. in kpop that are known to be serial rapists but they get defended daily
Knetizens literally ruined that girls life by taking it way too far
there’s bigger problems in the world than a girl wearing fake designer
Right? Why doesn't asian boss cover Tibet and Uyghur insisting they represent Asian Media? Koreans are deeply concerned about these issues. The thing is Asian Boss is a cheap fake yellow channel that only pursues Asian fetishism and trifling topics. Do you seek bigger topic on this third-class channel?
@@ambery6461 wow you said it all
Absolutely! And the whole country goes nuts over a girl wearing fake designer, and claiming that she brings the country down is just hilarious and pathetic.
@@jam20230 Nobody said the girl brings the country down tho.
@@ambery6461 well it is a big issue if this was the reaction of the Korean public, it’s a societal issue that has been engraved, although there are more topics to discuss it is also important to analyze this cultural problem in korea
I find it baffling that one of the guy in the interview said their parents warned them not to befriend with kids living in the public houses.. I mean what is wrong about living in the public houses? Are they not worthy to be friend with anyone!
The funniest part is that it's been proved that 90% of the items she wore were proved to actually be real 😂
옷때문에 그런것도 있지만 그녀의 회사는 중국회사이기도합니다..^^
@@JJ-kp6ee what does her working for a Chinese company have anything to do with what they said? Why is that a problem? You’re just trying to throw up any arbitruary facts you can find about her JUST to hate on her. You people don’t ACTUALLY care that she wore fakes. You don’t actually care that she worked for a Chinese company. You just wanted to tear down someone because you were jealous of them. Disgusting!
The unreasonable backlash she’s getting will inevitably damage her mental health. I pray she can recover and go on to live a good life. When I heard about this so called “scandal”, I was surprised that it became such a big deal. What she did could be seen as embarrassing and something to judge her for, but the outrage over it makes no sense. It’s not a crime to pretend you’re something you’re not 🤷🏻♀️ let her do her. Who cares?
Sucks even more that out of 500 items she went to get appraised, only 8 were knockoffs.
I was speechless, wearing branded goos does not increase your value as person, just stay true with yourself, live within your means
Why most Koreans accept plastic surgery and being so harsh to her by wearing fakes?! Is not plastic surgery also fake?!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Agreed!
they will blame Japan and China too because people from both countries also use plastic surgery....
totally agree with you
Soooo freaking true!
Why people are treating her as if she killed a person like.. you guys need to chill. Playing with someone's mental health is not funny. Just live your life and let her live her life. MOVE ON BRUH!!!
Don’t care about brands. Wear what is comfortable and looks good on you. I don’t know what the fuss is all about. Freezia….FIGHTING 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻You’ll get through this tough phase.
I think the most painful part was that she was getting the most hate from her people, that's messed up.
Have a nice day everybody
"My mom said no to hang out with kids form public house", that is sick!!!! What a tough life!! Geezzz we are human being!
I appreciate the perspective from the woman who works in the fashion industry. I think her criticism of Jia’s actions was respectful while still holding her accountable.
I feel bad that she dissapeared for something like that, also dispatch revealed only a few items were not real designer, I miss her content and I wish she would come back, I hope she does, there are also many international fans supporting her
This reminds me ! I need to get my shipment of fake Gucci purses on the streets of Seoul by friday ! 🤣
The fact that knock off brands are so popular just shows how messed up our society is. People want to show off a fake image that they're wealthy and have all these designer items, when it shouldn't matter if they have no name or not popular branded items.
i wish they had this same energy for actual social issues such as racism, misogyny, or mental health ,, they're just mad the fantasy was broken lmao & that jia looked beautiful in whatever she was wearing (so what if it was fake) ,, anyways rooting for jia !! i hope she comes back
I’m so salty she’s still inactive on all her social media platforms. I liked watching her TH-cam videos and now they’re all gone. This whole situation is so stupid, people should use this negative energy towards criminals.
this is the stupidest issue ive ever seen. Korea, you have a lot more important things to worry about. thats for sure.
Funny how korean really think what she did give bad impression to overseas fan since shes quite famous globally because none of us care about such things. Its just you all.
My honest opinion on this topic is that Korean society made a lifestyle that isn't possible for most people. If we are talking about fake luxury or pretending to be rich, lets strat about how parents get into debt just so their children can go to top universities or even high schools, this isn't just a problem about her or her fake or unfake lifestyle is about how society makes the pressure on people to be successful and have high paid jobs, how the society expects you to go to high universities and instigates competition since a young age. I feel sorry for her, lose everything just because of some insecure and jello people. Yes, she did a mistake that was using fake in an international reality show and the brands can sue her if they want. But pretending that she commit a big crime, when real criminals get 8 months of a sentence or do community service is really pathetic. They just make her the escape to their unsolved insecurities and not achievements.
Well, around two (or more) years before I suddenly found her channel. Back then she filmed some videos just for fun, and there weren’t many subs (around 24 thousands) but I still followed her because I liked her personality and her lifestyle. Since then I have seen her growth and my opinion never changed, moreover, she taught me to love and appreciate myself more, to dress the way I want without caring what others are gonna think (she gave so many good advice about styling clothes!). All her videos were great, interesting and I could see how passionate she is about the TH-cam and grateful to her subscribers.
Seeing her in this situation, I can totally understand that she was wrong, but I will never accept the cancelling and dead threats that people are writing on the Internet. They don’t know her at all, and most of those haters simply envy the success and lifestyle that she had.
When I saw all the videos being deleted, I felt so sad and empty… It felt like a good friend of mine is suffering a lot and I can’t even help. I really hope that she will find strength to come back to TH-cam and will make videos again.
Knetz defaced their own country with how harshly they treated her! They gave her all of that fame just to tear her to pieces when they spotted something they didn’t like! Attacking her and her family then claiming it was about some bags?? The KNETZ are what’s ruining their reputation not the celebrities they praise! This situation just proves even more how materialistic most of these people are. There are so many young Koreans that are just like her! Why do you think she did it in the first place??
i find it funny how she was ripped to shreds about this even though majority of the goods were real and only few were fake 💀
Once again, thank God I live in a society where buying or owning non branded items is normal.
The people they interviewed had great and objective insights. I enjoyed listening to them. Good questions were thrown also. Keep it up!
This is a microcosm of what it's like to get instant fame. Everybody is doing things that shouldn't be done just to go viral and get their 15 seconds of fame. Again, we just cannot have it all.
i don’t understand how this could be an issue at all like this is wild
Hi Asian Boss, I don't know how you do it but the people you interview almost always have reasonable, insightful and meaningful answers. I can't help but feel reassured that the world is not so negative after watching your videos. Thanks for all your great work. I'm super happy to support a company like yours. Much love from Canada. 😘
She defaced Korea as a nation? Come on bru. No foreigner cares she used fake luxury brand goods. We all do it too. Give me a break.
At the end of the day, what these people say is irrelevant. FreeZia could've easily ignored all of them. Why would she cares what they think? After all, they are strangers to her. That's why she's there and they're there.
People are her audience. Celebrities are nothing without the common people cuz these people are the ones that follow and support her (not necessarily the people in the vid😅) they can easily boycott her and she'll be left with nothing on her hands. Plus knetizens were sending her very insensitive comments and death threats. That can seriously harm a person's mentality.
@@samshridiagnostics7593 then perhaps, she doesn't need that kind of audience. Shutting herself down makes her look weak and frightened. Rather than losers "boycotting" her, she shot herself on her foot by shutting herself down.
Insensitive comments and death threats are part and parcel of celebrity life. If I were her, I'd just grow a thick skin and ignore all those losers.
@@larkspurzThis is how an influencer's life is. All companies that sponsored her dropped their deals, this was her source of income. And social media culture in Korea is much more different than the West, cyber bullying is very real and harsh as compared to the west.
Wow... I mean I'm not really her fan, but the punishment she's getting is like a serious crime. I mean, as if the personal attack is not enough, they go as far as saying she humiliates Korea as a nation. Whatta joke.
They're really doing to much. 🙄
It's just loser netizens. Normal Koreans don't do that as you see in the video.
lol ironically those netizens don't even realize THEY and their immature reactions are what is humiliating Korea, not Jia at all. hahahaha... such out of touch mindset...
i find it hilarious, and so hypocritical. korean streets are lined up with stalls selling knock off designer items. she didn’t deserve any of this, she had her youtube channel before she became extremely well known and now shes lost everything.
Korean Pop Culture phenomenon exposing the Toxic aspects of Korean Culture.
crazy how public image is so important than what you do in life, making an impact in people life and in the world using your head, intelligence and talents.
Thanks for listening to your viewers who asked for this. I was curious how Koreans feel about this.
Reading through these comments I am very confused. In the video it clearly shows why she is being criticized and that's because of high moral standard in South Korean society and yet the comments seem to derail from what's actually said and trying to depict SK in bad way intentionally.
Same.
It is as if people did not watch the video. With fame comes extreme scrutiny. Anyone becoming famous should expect old unflattering (or damaging?) stories/videos/photos to come out. I think it was irresponsible of her to wear fake items on a Netflix show. It is wrong as well that she passed fake items off as real in her vlogs and even gave them away as gifts. Not sure if you will be thought of as a credible ambassador by brands, unless you plan to endorse a brand specializing in knock offs. More than that, I guess as an influencer, people assume that you are more genuine than traditional celebrities (idols/actors). With the controversy and allegations that she faked even her family background, it became more damaging for her.
Probably because attacking her so much even her family isn't suitable to "high moral standard "
I still hope that one day will come for humans to realize that people can and should be given a chance to redeem themselves. A mistake does not and will not define who you truly are. Instead, it serves as a lesson for someone to be better.
How can that person be better when the society cancels and demean you plus your love ones?
I feel that they never really answered the questions. They just kind of kept repeating, in different words, the same surface level reasoning for jia’s treatment. They never think deeper, about why they are judging her more harshly than celebrities, and why they care more about protecting brands than a human’s emotions and life.
I want to keep asking, “but why” after each of their responses until they reason themselves into seeing that the response to jia is unfair and hypocritical, and perhaps sexist.
They probably dont know enough about the situation, I’m korean and i dont even know the details
The people interviewed doesnt seem like they care much either?
The fact Koreans don't put this much effort on the racism and social class issues in their country instead they're too busy upset about a young girl trying to live her best life
I don’t think I will ever survive in Korea this country is too much with looks etc. It’s crazy how they even attacked her family I’m glad she’s back and slaying 😊
Wow great interviews with strong intuitive statements by each interviewee.
