Korean music fans are currently being shocked by the alleged racist treatment of musician Crush on his fans. The incident occurred while he was performing at the 2022 SOMEDAY PLEROMA event held at Yonsei University. When performing the song Don't Forget, Crush interacted with a number of fans by extending his hand towards the audience.
But in one part, Crush doesn't seem to respond to the high five requests from fans and immediately leaves the place. The video circulated online and made Crush accused of being racist because the fans he passed were known to be black. Regarding this controversy, Crush also apologized and explained the reason. "I went to the military for at least two years and came back on stage to meet fans.
This was an unforgettable and long-awaited experience. So naturally, I walked towards the audience and reached out to the crowd," explained Crush. "In order to avoid further misunderstandings, I had to refrain from giving the fans a high five as a precaution, as the fans were too close to the fence holding up the section of the audience and I saw those in the front row being pushed against the fence.
So I made a judgment. quick not to approach for the safety of fans." At the end of the statement, Crush also apologized to fans for the misunderstanding that occurred due to his actions. He asserted that he never differentiated fans and loved them equally. But Crush's apology did not necessarily silence the fans.
His post on Instagram was immediately flooded with blasphemy. Even so, not a few also defended Crush. A number of fans confirmed the musician's apology because when performing gestures such as refusing a high five, Crush spoke to fans and asked them to be careful.
There are also videos circulating on Twitter and TikTok showing Crush repeatedly asking fans to be more careful and make the same gestures. This further proves the truth of the statement made by Crush. Some fans also admitted that Crush was ignored by Crush to shake hands or high fives even though he was Korean. Until now, Crush still has not provided another response regarding the debate that occurred.
