You said the audience was the best...Oasis Dampers Racist Cold Water On 16 Years of South Korea



British band Oasis is embroiled in a racism controversy.

On the 1st, Oasis member Liam Gallagher wrote on his account, "Ching Chong"."

'Chongchong' or 'Chongchong' is a racist expression used to disparage East Asians. It mimics a specific pronunciation of Chinese and contains the intention of ridicule. There is also a record that Mary Baek, a Korean immigrant in 1906, was teased at school with expressions such as 'Chongchong'.




Liam Gallagher wrote this expression on social media without hesitation. One fan responded, "It's a racist expression. You shouldn't say that"I advised, but Gallagher replied "Why". Fans were worried that `other fans would get mad,' but Gallagher argued `Calm down.

As the controversy intensified, Liam Gallagher deleted the remarks in question and "I'm sorry if I offended anyone, although it wasn't intentional." I love all of you and I don't discriminate. Peace and Love".

However, the response from the fans is cold. It's true that he posted the article 'Chongchong' without any explanation, but even though he explained that it was a racist expression, he couldn't believe Liam Gallagher's words because he didn't show any signs of remorse by fighting with his fans.

Liam Gallagher's behavior became more controversial, especially as Oasis is set to perform in Korea for the first time in 16 years.

Oasis held its first concert in Korea in 2006. At the time, Oasis was the best performance in response to the explosive reaction of the tie troops", "The Korean audience is the best," he said, expressing satisfaction. And he held his second performance in Korea in three years, and even held a drinking party because he was very excited about the enthusiastic response. Oasis later disbanded, but decided on a reunion tour in 2024. They excited fans by including Korea and Japan among Asian countries as tour countries. Fans were ready to go wild for the first oasis in 16 years, but Liam Gallagher poured cold water on it.

Oasis will continue its reunion tour at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province at 8 p.m. on October 21 and at Tokyo Dome in Japan on October 25 and 26.
