Former beauty queen Imelda Schweighart said she “hates(s)” K-pop, drawing mixed reactions from followers and online users.
In a series of Facebook posts on Monday, November 23, the former Miss Earth Philippines 2016 said that Filipinos are trying to be Koreans.
It’s unclear what prompted her posts.
“I hate K-pop,” she wrote.
She followed up with another post, this time saying Filipinos are “losing their identity trying to be like Koreans.” “Konting (A bit of) pride, please?”
In another post, Imelda said that Filipinos are better in speaking English than Korean. “Kala ko ba Chinese nananakop (I thought it was the Chinese who were invading us)? I think we’re getting it wrong. Lagi na lang tayo sinasakop (We’re always being colonized).”
Schweighart has been trying to make a name in the music industry and has released songs such as “Fuccboi” and “Change My Mind,” which are available on YouTube and Spotify. Most of her songs are in English.
Some fans defended K-Pop, pointing out that that listening to it does not make them any less of a Filipino.
Imelda won the Miss Earth Philippines title in 2016. Her reign was marred with controversies. She told then Miss Earth Austria Kimberly Budinsky that newly-elected President Rodrigo Duterte was “doing Hitler stuff in the Philippines” and claimed that Miss Earth 2016 Katherine Espin underwent plastic surgery.
Imelda eventually resigned after competing in the pageant. – Rappler.com
