It has been controversial as an overseas website pointed out that K-pop culture contains racial discriminative element that abases the black amid the fervor of hallyu or Korean cultural wave across the world.

"K-POP or KKK-POP? Covert Anti-Black Music Scene Sweeping America" was posted on "Oh No They Didn't (ONTD)", an English online community handling gossips about mass culture.

' IFUA SKEDMETO', the I.D. of a netizen, said in the posting that Girls' Generation, Big Bang and other K-pop idols made caricatures of Afro-Americans outspokenly. He also put the video and the captured photograph, where hallyu stars made vocal mimicry of the black, or black makeup.

The writer also pointed out that "Nigga", a discriminatory remark of the Afro-Americans, was posted in a Cyworld's mini website of a Korean pop idol. It also criticized four members of a girl group doing a black makeup in the music video as "black face marketing strategy". About 2,000 replies run in the writing and the argument rises, the website said.
