South Koreans Protest Lady Gaga: Super or Silly?

Lady Gaga hasn't even started her Born This Way Ball Global Tour yet, and it's already controversial in certain places. A group of 300 Protestant church members in South Korea are planning to pray against the diva's Seoul concert on Sunday -- the first show of her worldwide tour. Their charge? Advocating homosexuality and porn. Not a first for Lady Gaga.

Kang Ju-Hyun, a prayer organizer, told French newswire service Agence France-Presse, "We will pray to God that the concert will not be realised so that homosexuality and pornography will not spread around the country." And church groups aren't the only ones worried about Gaga's message. According to The Raw Story, minors are banned from attending the concert, as ordered by the Korea Media Rating Board.

    I have been to South Korea and they have better morals in their society than those to which we have descenced. The schools wear uniforms to ensure unity, decrease distraction, aid in discipline, and decrease bullying. Everything over there is not about feeding your lust, but about knowledge, community, and service.

    In education South Korea is #1 in Math & Reading and #3 in Science. We are #25 Math, #14 Reading, & #17 Science. See what happens when you have a youth culture bombarded by sex and self-importance. Of course Sweden, Germany, France, Denmark and the UK are in worse shape.

    Even if Gaga does not perform there, it doesn't really stop their youth from going crazy over male/male skinship. Let two or more male idols hug briefly and you'll see how fast it'll have their little fangirl, innocent ovaries exploding as they scream frantically.

    And I've heard people moaning the loss of innocence in Kpop girl groups who try to portray the cutesy and girly appeal while running around in teeny tiny pants or short dresses (poor Hyorin)

    But one thing I do admire about them is that education is really important and most of their idols finish they're studies even while involved in their activities.

    Anyone with a IQ above 50 realizes that Lady Derp Derp is contributing to making people dumber, sluttier and confusing stupidity with talent. Unfortunately, crazy religious nuts are completely the wrong messenger since they too contribute to two out of the three, making people dumber and confusing stupidity with talent (Have you listened to Christian Rock? messenger contribute people dumber confusing stupidity talent listened christian rock )

    Don't like her?

    Don't go to concert and don't waste your time praying against it. This "protest" is only going to draw more attention to her.

    And what a stupid thing about her to protest anyway.

    In all honesty I really don't care. On one one side I like how lady gaga promotes individuality and being proud of yourself regardless of your sexual preferences. On the other hand I see where the Koreans were going with the "pornography" deal. Quite honestly I'd like there to be a bit more modesty in our society, yet to protest against a singer I think is a little much

    Not that I agree with them, but their reasoning is rational. If that's the way things are done in their country, then it should be respected.

    As long as they keep it in their country. Some of these countries are scarey when they dont agree with something going on in the us.

    I say this a lot on here, but...if YOU don't like something, YOU don't do it...but don't stop other people who DO like it from doing whatever it is. Don't preach to people who aren't into what YOU are. That's pretty basic human rights.

    Ju-Hyun is insulting his country by saying that the people of South Korea are either too ignorant to know what homosexuality and pornography are, or are so weak-minded that their values will be changed by a concert, to say nothing about whether what Lady Gaga is promoting is right or wrong.

    To each their own. If they want to protest go for it. If the want to protest the price of tea in china go for it. If they want to protest bell-bottom pants go for it.

    Hell it is cool to protest wall street right?

    All religions are cults and all believers fanatics. Fortuantely, prayer doesn't do or mean anything, so let them appease their personal guilt with this harmless practice. However, it is important to note that Buddhism is an educational system and Taoism is a philosophy. Neither should be considered religions in the deist sense. Lady Ga Ga is an artist and is valued for her creativity not her mythology.
