"Q: What does GOT7 want to be called? Yoogyeom: Idols who are good at black music? JB: Ah, it's so hard. Black Souls? Jackson: Black Kids?"

I don't really care about GOT7 - a JYP rookie group - but this is stupid it's incredibly funny. I think my IQ dropped about 10 points when I read that before I started laughing at the laptop screen. This isn't remotely racist* or anything, but couldn't they just refer to their music as "hip-hop"? Their PR management must have been face-palming themselves so heard after hearing this lol.
*because of their stupidity people are going to use this against them to refer to them as "racist" rather than just plain dumb.
