Bulgarian TV Show Under Fire For Being Racist And Xenophobic Towards Korean Culture
A Bulgarian TV Show called Kato dve Kapki voda received harsh criticism after a contestant impersonated BTS’s Jimin while two hosts made disrespectful and inappropriate comments. This Bulgarian show challenges celebrities to transform into another celebrity from around the world in three months. Their goal is to become the celebrity in terms of personality and visuals.
In their most recent episode, a contestant dressed up as Jimin while both the hosts continued to make inappropriate comments about K-Pop and the Korean people. The two clips below reveal some of the comments that were made about Korea including referencing the Japanese flag, criticizing idols for looking too “feminine” and more.

This was reportedly not the first time the show has made racist and xenophobic comments on their show. They were previously seen mocking Psy and talking about North Korea.
this is not the first time the show had been racist and xenophobic. a few years ago they were making fun of PSY and making jokes about how their studio is just like North Korea and they played a N.Korean song (The Whistle Song) and even photoshoped their producer as Kim Jong-Un pic.twitter.com/x8uZgUay1I

They have also been seen multiple times using blackface on their show in order to impersonate people of color.
They have zero education about the serious problem with blackface and cultural appropriation in general. Sometimes blackface is being done more than once per episode. pic.twitter.com/VGL9O8ZUEt
