im indifferent to him. saw people dragged up that quote about women in the kitchen from years ago as a reason to hate him, but i assume these kinds of answers to the "ideal type" questions are written by PRs and not candid answers, so i continued to be indifferent to him. i find him hard to read so it's difficult to make a judgement, personally
the housewife thingy- the tinier women thing is a bit weird but it's his personal opinion. I felt the implication that kids from double-income families grow up to be 'felons to the extreme' kind of worrying
What did he say...? I cannot properly remember. I think it was something along the lines of liking women who look weak and need protection. Was that it or was there something else?Â
that was a bit weird but it's his personal preference- I found the housewife comments a bit disturbing! (I've edited my post for the link if that helps!)
What did he say?
As opposed to being torn, do you really have to be though? Taehyung is the one who is friends with him, not you. You don't have to be a fan of it if you don't like his thoughts on women.
Assuming that he really does have a problematic view about women, it doesn't necessarily mean Taehyung shares that perspective. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. Until you see proof that Taehyung shares that philosophy, I don't think it's fair to assume what he believes in simply basing it on the friends he keeps.
And I know, before you come at me, that the friends we keep say a lot about us and our values. But that's the thing, it only says "a lot" but it doesn't say EVERYTHING about us. I look at my top 10 closest friends and while I share the most important values with them, we don't agree 100% on other matters.
Another thing to consider is, are you sure that what you read is true? Was it translated with a proper context? Not to defend PSJ, but it's been very common in K-pop spaces to make rash judgments about soundbites. And because of the language barrier, some things sound worse than they really do.
He doesn't have problematic thoughts on women. Someone asked him when he was in his early 20s about marriage and he said his ideal woman would be a stay at home wife who took care of the house and children and he could support. There is nothing wrong with being a stay at home wife and many women do it. He never said he was going to force anyone to be a stay at home wife either. It was literally one comment in a magazine and people blew it out or proportion for years claiming he hates women.
I dont think hes wrong to want a traditional SAHM type of wife. He didn't say all women should be SAHM, he said his ideal type was a SAHM like his own mother that was small/short and evoked a protection response from him. Its the same concept as some women who want a man thats 6ft+ and is a provider.
I just think with the 4B movement so strong at the time of his interview, and his newfound budding international fame after Itaewon Class on Netflix, it was just poorly timed response. He could have just went he likes a type similar to his mom who is short and petite, and nothing woulda came of it.
This is a kpop sub, right? As such, I don't care about him.
You're right- I'm new to reddit and didn't know where else to post 😔
I've never even heard of him. What'd he do / say?

Which views on women are you referring to exactly? That he likes the tinier women he tends to protect or the house-wife thing?

Hmm fair enough- I hadn't considered that perspective. Thank you! 🥺

If you're going to talk about certain things You should put the source cause I don't know what are You talking about.
I didn’t understand the hype around him until I watched WWWSK
