While Disney's live-action film 'The Little Mermaid' was released on the 24th, controversy about the movie continues.
The Korean dubbing of 'The Little Mermaid' was done by Daniel, a member of the group NewJeans, and the reaction to the casting was mixed from the beginning. Concerns were raised about Daniel's inaccurate Korean pronunciation and lack of voice acting experience, but when a video of Daniel singing 'Part of Your World' was released, the situation changed and many people praised Daniel's singing skills and visuals. There were even comments that the young and pure voice of the Little Mermaid was better suited to Daniel than Halle Bailey, who has high-quality singing skills and a mature voice.
Recently, Tomatazos, a film media, reported that Daniel was the voice of Ariel, and criticized it as "colorism, that is, discrimination against skin color." Since the lead actor is black, the actor in charge of Korean dubbing must also be black.
The media explained, "Daniel has a natural singing ability and talent like Halle Bailey, but the contrast of skin color is noticeable."
The comments:
1. ??? what kind of noise is this
2. yes? Isn't this true racism? omg
3. ?????????
4. What is this again...
5. How many black female celebrities are there in Korea ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What are you really looking for?
6. What is the level of people in that country?!
7. I don't think Daniel fits well either, but are there any black celebrities or black voice actors in Korea? That's out of the blue.
8. There are so many different types of dubbing. You have to know how to speak Korean. Why did you change your skin color in a dubbing where you can't even see your face?
Why do they only do it in Korea while not doing it to China and Japan?
9. Did you dub parasite as an Asian?
10. this is reverse discrimination.
11. What bullshit.
12. Let's go Patricia.
