LIAM GALLAGHER, from the British rock band OASIS, is facing heavy backlash after posting a racist comment on X (formerly Twitter), just ahead of the group’s reunion tour scheduled to reach Asia in October.
On Monday, LIAM GALLAGHER — the younger of the Gallagher brothers — posted the word “Chingchong,” a term widely recognized as a racial slur targeting Asians.
When fans expressed outrage, he initially dismissed the criticism with a one-word response: “Whatever.” He later deleted the post and issued an apology.
“Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before. It wasn’t intentional — you know I love you and I do not discriminate. Peace and love, LG x.”
Despite the apology, many fans remain upset, especially with the highly anticipated OASIS reunion tour set to kick off this Friday in the UK. Following shows in the UK, Canada, and the United States, the band is scheduled to perform in South Korea on October 21, and in Japan on October 25 and 26.
The Korea concert will be the band’s first performance in the country since 2009. OASIS previously performed in Korea in 2006 and 2009, while NOEL GALLAGHER, the older brother, has held several solo concerts there since.
