I'm very sure everyone already know bout BLOCK B & 2PM problem..
i'm out of this, but still speechless.. dont know what to do.. but yes, I'm more to 2PM since i knew them first, i love them first, and for sure i adore them since they debut.. I'M HOTTEST..
but also a BBC.. I'm a fansof HIP HOP .. but like i said 2PM is the closest in my heart than BLOCK B..
and this is about THAILAND.. A neighbour of my country.. their food are fine and i like it. Not just me, we west east asian really love the food. We sharing the food, i love Indo foods, Vietname food, Myanmar foods, Chinese food, Indian foods, Pakistan foods, Arabian foods, Japanese foods even Korean foods. i already took several Thai's food and it;s OK and delicious. Also about the flood, sorry to say "Boys, dont do that. Its about our mothernature that we can handle it, please be proper" Sorry i cant help you..
Here’s a rundown of what’s got the Korean netizens so riled up:
Right from the start they’re lying on the table like idiots. That’s fine. I’m sure a lot of fangirls will be screaming “OMG THEY’RE SO ADORKABLE”.
Then at 3:30 they’re asked what their group name “Block B” means. The reliable leader Zico fields this question which he must have been asked a lot of times because he seems to be a bit annoyed. After answering the question he snaps at the translator “You know this!”.
At 9:15 they’re asked what sets Block B apart from other hip hop artists. The reliable leader Zico once again answers this question by saying “Hip hop artists are usually ugly but we’re confident about our looks”. PO seems quite amused by this and raises his up in approval and claps his feet. Zico continues “and we sometimes have crazy bastards like this”. U-Kwon also voices his approval through spontaneous dance followed swiftly by a monkey impression. ADORKABLE RIGHT?
Then comes the line that got those crazy Korean netizens and Thai fans riled up the most. At 12:30 they’re asked whether they know about the flooding in Thailand. Zico being well read about current events answers “Of course we know. Everyone has probably been hurt emotionally by the floods but we hope that through our financial aid your heart’s wounds will heal. The only thing we have is money”. This prompts another member to ask Zico about how much money he has and Zico answers “7000 won ($7)”. The members seem quite amused.
This joking about the flooding however wasn’t as amusing for Korean netizens as it was seen as insensitive. This interview seems to have made it’s way to Nichkhun who is similarly unimpressed. He wrote the tweet below and it was followed by tweets from his fellow members Junho and Chansung.
Nichkhun: As a Thai person I am offended by those who would speak about the Thailand floods without thinking. Also instead of coming to Thailand and acting mindlessly, please respect the country’s manners, and only act in a way that is proper.
Junho: I won’t say who it is but those actions and that attitude is embarrassing as a fellow Korean. I wish they’d learn that one bad action doesn’t affect just themselves but also dirties those around them. It’s something I’m saying as a person and a sunbae.
Chansung: Even though carelessness may seem like something that happens inevitably depending on the situation even when you try your best not to, if you don’t pay attention to others and hurt them and act like there’s noone as great as myself that is careless. This is beyond a mistake and just proves that you’re that type of person. Have some shame.Tiger JK (one of those “ugly” hip hop artists as Zico put it) was there to give some words of support for Nichkhun though
YEY, THE BOYS ASK FOR FORGIVENESS!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!LINK HERE.
Yeah... this drama is kinda of getting out of hand...
I've recently gotten interested in Block B and I, myself, am a Hottest...
But, they've apologised, they're human, and we learn by our mistakes and plus, Block B have apologised... see it for yourself:

I guess, they just need to conduct themselves in a more 'respectful' manner~
