A Korean men’s association has recently filed a legal petition to suspend screenings of “You’re My Pet,” a film the group has taken offense with due to its portrayal of male-female relationships. In the movie, gender relations are shown on par with that of a pet owner and her dog, they claim, calling this is “an insult to men’s dignity as human beings.” 

In the film, a highly-educated single woman in her 30s played by Kim Ha-neul lives with a younger dancer played by Jang Keun-suk. In exchange for accommodation and food, the young dancer calls the woman “master” and loyally obeys her. The movie is based on a Japanese comic book that was hugely popular in Japan and Korea. 

Upon hearing the news, Jang, 24, said, “Why wouldn’t you be able to be like a pet if the woman is older, more capable, and the whole dinner menu changes when you please her?” 

He said that men shouldn’t take umbrage due to feelings of wounded pride. “You aren’t always charming if you stay proud all the time,” he said.

JGS DID I TELL YOU RECENTLY HOW MUCH ILU

This actually makes me want to watch You’re My Pet more now. Especially since the group in question are called Male Generation. 

I am going to watch and enjoy the fuck out of this movie knowing that it is damaging the pride of someone in an organisation called Male Generation.

What about the movies, tv shows, and girl group concepts that  are “an insult to women’s dignity as human beings.”  that are protrayed all day every day, all day in Korea? 

Dear Men of Korea….take a damn seat.

okay you’re still my fav JGS even if you’re ALWAYS in Japan and ou have your own iphone app which is just ridiculous. Also this “Male Generation” group better be kidding about taking Kimi Wa Petto away from me I have been waiting at least a year for this…
