Korean-American singer AleXa has opened up about the hate she has received as a half-Korean K-Pop idol. In a recent livestream, the artist spoke about being called the “White girl idol” and discussed how she believes she is treated differently from other half-Korean K-Pop idols like Vernon of SEVENTEEN, former MOMOLAND member Nancy and former I.O.I singer Jeon Somi.
The artist touched on the struggles her mother faced as an immigrant in the United States and how she wishes people would recognize her for more than just speaking English. “I really wish that people would recognize me for more than just like that one English-speaking idol, you know, because there’s a lot more to me than my sarcasm and that fact I speak English,” she said.
AleXa recently dropped her new single ‘Juliette’ and has signed with United Talent Agency, a California-based talent agency. She also won the inaugural American Song Contest, a reality TV competition based on the Eurovision Song Contest.
The artist has gained a passionate fanbase that supports her music and stands up for her against the hate she has received. Fans have taken to social media to spread awareness of the issue, using hashtags like #alexa and #kpop.
AleXa is an artist that is passionate about her work and is determined to make her mark in the K-Pop industry. With her unique style and powerful voice, AleXa is sure to continue to inspire her fans and make waves in the music industry.
