My opinion about "The News about the senior-junior (Sunbae-Hoobae) in the K-Pop Industry"


Regarding this article publish on 19 October, Goo Hara member of a girl group KARA states that one of the junior girl group did not give them a proper greetings. 

Now following this article another article came out to explained to netizen who are not familiar with respecting the elderly in all aspect of daily life; Heres the link 

I am Malaysian which generally practice this asian culture of respect the elderly. I find it trouble to explain to my non-asian friends. In my life I have once rejected this culture during years in boarding school. There the seniors practically can do anything to the juniors on the other hand the juniors can do anything. Well to me its ok as long it did not bother us the junior at that time that much. But the hatred developed when the seniors started to make us stayed up all night without any valid reason at all.Well at first it is because of our lack of discipline which I have to agree on as my batch is not that discipline. However as time goes on and their reason started to make no sense. Then it gets worst after we the juniors try to make a complaint to the wardens.However to our disappointment, instead of the seniors being punish, it is us the junior got the punishment. These events carried on for about 8 months and along that time we tried to complaint again to the wardens. Once again the complaint is ignored and yes we got (i wouldn't say it as bully but to make it simple its similar to bully) . All the time we have to be patience and the feeling of dissatisfaction and anger build ed up throughout that one year of hatred. Next it is our turn to become seniors, and we had a batch meeting and after much discussions ;we decided to have a somewhat selfish policy (a policy in which the seniors will not in any way disturb or interfere in the juniors daily life activity and vice versa). This policy have pros and cons to it.

The Pros:  - Technically we have do not have a major fight and just a few minor disagreement with them. The Seniors have a bit time of peacefulness.

The Cons: - The relationship between the seniors and the juniors are  kept professional and the seniors seldom talk to the juniors . The juniors' attitude towards the teachers are lacking. The teachers now complaint more about the attitude of the juniors and again blame the seniors for not properly educate them.( Note that there are a few juniors that practice this culture well without having to teach.)

Now back to the main topic. I would not say I agree and like this culture 100%. I am okay with this culture as long as the seniors did not violate the basic human right and the juniors didn't do something stupid enough to make any person angry. Now in my opinion in terms of the sunbae - hoobae terms , let say group 1 consist of 5 members mostly age between 24 - 29. Group 2 consists of 9 members age between 18 - 22. Group 2 debut 4 years earlier than group 1. now in my sincere opinion I think if the group 1 (the whole member) met with group 2 in a music show or music award; group 1 has to respect group 2 more and group 2 has to respect group 1 as oppa/hyung/unnie/noona - dongsaeng. Well when it is outside the music show or music award for instance one of group member 1 is an MC or permanent guest on a variety show the fellow member group 2 has to respect him or she as oppa/hyung/noona/unnie. I know its kinda complicated but try to understand slowly.

I am sorry if there is some misunderstanding about the fact stated in this article or any spelling or grammar mistakes that I had made in this article.
