Filipino actor Christian Lagahill, who appeared and gained worldwide popularitt in Netflix's original Korean drama 'Squid Game', revealed the racial discrimination he suffered in Korea.

In an interview published on the YouTube channel of 'Asia Boss' on the October 24th (KST), he confessed to the case of racial discrimination in Korea. Meanwhile, Christian Lagahill is an actor who appeared in the 4th episode of Squid Game with jersey number 276. While looking for a team member to play the game, he met Pakistani worker Abdul Ali (no. 199 jersey number) and performed an Islamic greeting. He started living in Korea as an English teacher in 2015, and has been working as a minor actor since 2017. He has appeared in 'Negotiation' and 'Seungriho' and is gaining great popularity in his home country with 'Squid Game' as an opportunity.

In the YouTube video (around 24:28), Legahit explained that it was when he seated on the town bus, and some passengers were standing. He confessed "One of the passengers, a woman in her late fifties, was staring at me," Lagahit said. "A few minutes later, something hit me in the face and I was startled. She had tossed cabbage in my face." "I was wearing glasses at that time, but when I picked up the glasses that fell to the ground, they were already broken," he explains. Legahit approached the woman and said, 'I'm sorry, but what's going on? 'Why did she throw vegetables in my face?' she asked, but she said she said to herself, 'Get off the bus because I'm not Korean'. He added, "The most difficult thing was that no one cared about me. There were many passengers, but no one helped me." Lagahit later said, "I was just crying there. I couldn't get off and take a taxi. There was nothing I could do. What I don't understand is that no one helped me." When a woman got off the bus, she said, "You foreigners are bad people," she said. "I still remember those words."

When asked about other cases of racial discrimination, he said, "My friends have also heard bad things about me." "When I sit on the bus, no one wants to sit next to me. There were women who asked me to move to another place."

'Asian Boss' who interviewed  Lagahit has 3.27 million YouTube subscribers, and the video has recorded over 230,000 views as of October 31st. Filipino netizens who heard this news responded absurdly through comments and SNS, such as "Racism also happens among Asians" and "How can Asians discriminate against other Asians?"

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
