HYBE has been observed pushing niggers in their MVs as love interests twice now.

Shipping the famous "Squid Games" Korean actor Hoyeon with a black guy, who she lusts over in some modernized Greek myth story (Eros & Psyche). Also starring legendary actor Tony Leung, famous for being an Asian cinema heart throb / dilf, playing the evil father figure who breaks the couple's love spell?
Intentional or not, this is subversion of East Asian filial piety. Koreans do not want their daughters lusting over Africans.
As the kpop industry's mission of globalization continues, political correctness among HYBE internals and the public grows in a vicious cycle.
We are seeing the start of a normalization of degenerate race-mixing between East Asians and Blacks, which sees no obstacles ahead of itself.
The massive success and fanaticism of all-things-NewJeans, as well as their cutesy, harmless, faultless image, does not help.
This is (IIUC) the first time a major kpop company has pushed black love interests, yet I haven't seen any mention or pushback in the English speaking internet.
Min Hee-jin, the creative director of NewJeans at HYBE, and former creative director at SM, may be behind this agenda. Perhaps her company change gave her more liberty with casting.
