Short answer: no. The K-pop culture differs immensely to what it is shown to be in the show.
Why would Nickelodeon would make a show select people would want to watch? The thing is, this show wouldn't appeal to people who are already heavily into the K-pop culture but would rather introduce people to K-pop. But there is another ulterior motive, which is to satisfy the producer's idea of a WMAF dominated society. There was some news that flew by not long ago when a suggestion about Asian men in the show was laughed off by the racist producer, and he was mocked when it was suggested by the producer that even if there were Asian men, they were to be a joke character equivalent to Oppa Gangnam Style.
Nowhere in ticklegear's review was it mentioned that white men in the show were the problem, but another review suggested otherwise. The ignorance of this user is beyond words and they pretend that issues that do not concern them do not exist. What ticklegear really meant to say was the show misrepresents the K-pop culture. The problem here is not that there is a white male in the show. The problem is that Asian males are again, not represented at all in a culture where 50% of the K-pop bands are male. Obviously when ticklegear said Asians, they did not mean the females. They are already represented in the show. Before commenting on another reviewer's review, it would be wise to do research. The producer is in fact, racist.
Asian women are again, hypersexualised, and the show is there to satisfy the producers fantasy of a WMAF dominated society.
As a last note, Leah, I suggest you do not downplay real issues people face.
This show does not represent K-pop culture in any way, which is vastly different to what it is shown to be in.
