Racepill Conundrum: K Pop Girl Group, New Jeans, recently released a music video for "Cool With You" where the love interest is a dark skinned Black man. Is this a sign of a paradigm shift?

Since when are newjeans one of the biggest kpop groups? The biggest kpop groups r BTS, Blackpink, Twice, Gidle, Stray Kids, IVE, Ateez, Shinee, Girls Generation... The MV u showed us has 10mil views which is quite low for a kpop group from a good companyblike hybe
Marketing towards a more global audience
Unfortuneately, dark skin is viewed as ugly due to the ancient chinese beauty standard of weathy people not working in the sun and tehrefore not getting tanned.

Just a music video. Taylor Swift had a black interest in a music video, she has never been seen or linked with a black man in real life. Also despite black men having low SMV in Asia black culture and asian culture seem to have a mutual fascination with each other. Fascination is very different from attraction. White people loved Jazz has it was emerging in the early 20th century at the same time as this thing called Jim Crow.

I'm posting this because the Race Pill often says that Black people(either gender) have the lowest SMV in all of Asia which is very likely true.

But this video is showing a Black love interest in a video from one of the biggest K Pop groups out today, NewJeans.

I find that very interesting and has me curious if this might shift the paradigm of Black SMV in parts of Asia.

I personally wouldn't know due to having no experience out there though I've befriended some of the diaspora here in the States.

For the RacePill squad, what's your take? Is this type of video a fluke that'll have no impact or will it spark a paradigm shift in the SMV of Blacks in parts of Asia?

Don't think it's a sign of anything but catering to a western audience. Consider it a "cheap" way to pass it off as "promoting" diversity, I guess. Why was it a black man? Why not Spanish, South Asian, Native American, and so on?

They'd have to do a lot more if they had a sincere interest in breaking the stigma around dark skinned folks and other ethnicities in Asia.

Edit to add: While black people in Asia might be rated the lowest on an SMV scale, I think there's still a large enough niche group of Asian women that exclusively prefer/pursue black men compared to any other non-white ethnic men in Asia. Definitely not anything that would significantly move the needle when it comes to racial preferences in dating, but it's definitely there.

Since racial preferences are almost certainly directly tied to social superiority, as black people gain more social status in the west, the preference for white men will diminish.

Black men have always had high SMV with certain women irrespective of race. It's just that these women are the least likely to use dating apps which is what most dating statistics are based off of. which falsely makes it seem like black men have low SMV.
