What We Think

"Celebrity" avoids most modern 'woke' hallmarks, choosing instead to lampoon social media culture and personal ambition. The show is more concerned with satire of fame than with diversity checklists or ideological preaching. While not a torchbearer for non-woke entertainment, it doesn’t fall into Hollywood’s usual traps either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Celebrity" focuses more on ambition, scandal, and internet fame rather than identity politics. Characters are generally defined by their actions, social status, and personal ambitions, not by surface-level identity traits. Forced representation or over-the-top flawless characters are limited, and plot is driven by drama and personal intrigue.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values around family, morality, and career ethics are questioned, but not ham-fistedly undermined. While the show highlights the pitfalls of fame and materialism, it does not aggressively mock religion, masculinity, or cultural heritage. The critique feels more about modern Korean society than about subverting foundational norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show operates in a world of status, influence, and social media drama, characters generally share modern attitudes toward fame and success, but little time is spent overtly mocking alternative viewpoints. Still, genuinely traditional perspectives are mostly absent or on the sidelines.
