jm uses the word 저능하다 here, which translates to “incompetent; moron; imbecile.” i’ve even consulted my mother, a korean native, and she says that it’s used to indicate low IQ, not to call someone a r****d

having pale white skin is a beauty standard in korea, and it’s (sadly) common for people to tease others for having tanner complexions

rather than holding prejudice against ppl w darker skin tones (definition of color*sm) the members are teasing hc for not meeting sk’s beauty standards. as koreans are extremely sensitive to their appearance, this teasing, again, is common occurrence

i’m not saying i agree w judging people’s appearances based off a set of very specific standards. but what is happening here is similar, in a cultural context, to me getting teased by my US friends (who prefer having tan skin) for wearing sunscreen

and regarding the multiple videos where members call each other “burnt”: 탔다 in korean directly does directly translate to “burnt,” but it is also used to say that you got a sunburn
here is a great thread explaining dy using the word “탔다” (burnt: sunburnt) https://twitter.com/do1ezn/status/1337759946943807489
