Taiwanese actor-singer Huang Weijin recently revealed on his social media that he lost his job following allegations of making inappropriate remarks about LE SSERAFIM.
Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about finding a new job in the new year. Colleagues such as Ivy Lee and Xiao Kui showed support with encouraging comments.
The incident occurred on January 27th during the ‘2024 Taiwan Superstar Red and White Entertainment Awards,’ where Huang made inappropriate comments about LE SSERAFIM.
His co-host promptly intervened after his remark. Despite Huang‘s attempt to clarify his intentions, netizens criticized him, leading to public outcry and, seemingly, the loss of his job.
Netizens expressed various opinions on the matter:
“I feel bad for him, to be honest.”
“Intent might not have been the issue; enough people heard it as something rude, and the damage was done.”
“He made a verbal mistake, corrected it immediately, and apologized. Unbelievable.”
“Surprised that it cost him his job; it wasn’t that bad, and he apologized right away.”
“We’ve all said things that could be misconstrued; cancel culture strikes again.”
“Usually, it’s more conservative countries making inappropriate remarks; this is surprising.”
“Glad to hear that 😗.”
“Entertainers should attend seminars on speaking in America, covering interviews, fan interactions, and character development.”
