Oli London mention on jimin's page and Oli's self-claimed "trans-racial" mention in the reference
Latest comment: 7 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion
The Oli London mention does need to be altered. First, it's in the impact and influence section which only list jimin's impact as an artist. Oli London's intent for his surgeries aren't related to jimin as an artist. He admittedly wanted to look Korean which is mentioned in the source that was added by the editor who added him to jimin's page in the past. Additionally, Oli London is known to have made remarks that would be qualified as racist toward Korean people and claimed to identify as trans-racial (again this is mentioned in the source and on Oli London's own wikipedia page). It is dubious to add this on a Korean artist page without adding context to Oli's actions. Oli's own wikipedia page states that he has mentioned several Korean artists he wanted to look like when he had procedures over the year such as Rose from blackpink. As I mentioned in my edit, additional sources mention several artists he took inspiration from on his quest to look korean so I added those sources. I checked his wikipedia page before editing jimin's page and used relevant sources mentioned on his own page. If it's valid on his wikipedia page, it's accurate to add it to jimin's wikipedia page. And if not then we can omit Oli London mention on jimin's page especially considering the racist layers. It has to be taken into account when mentioning that on any Korean artist Oli has mentioned.

Well, this got a lot of international press, and it can be mentioned very concisely. It does pertain to Jimin's "influence" on fans. "Influence" does not mean only influence as an artist. It is also his influence as a celebrity. The fact that Oli London "identified as Korean" is not mentioned in the text of this article and, I agree, is tangential here and should not be added. On balance, I'd say that the short sentence and ref are ok per WP:DUE, but I am going to delete the price of the surgeries as superfluous. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
