NAKARANAS ng matinding bashing sa social media ang eventologist at host na si Tim Yap mula sa fans ng K-Pop girl group na Momoland.
Hindi raw nagustuhan ng Momoland fans ang inappropriate jokes na ginawa ni Tim sa K-Pop group habang ini-interview niya ang mga ito.
Narinig ng mga fans na nagsa-side comment si Tim tulad ng “Anong nahithit nito?” at “Sira ulo.”
Hindi nga raw ikinatuwa ng mga fans iyon dahil kahit hindi siya naiintindihan ng Momoland, parang pinaglalaruan at pasimple ang pang-ookray niya sa girl group. Kaya nag-demand ang Momoland fans ng public apology mula kay Tim.
Dahil sa sunud-sunod na bashing kay Tim, naglabas ito ng kanyang apology via Twitter.
“I apologize for how my comments might have affected Momoland fans. In the venue, you could feel how much fun we were all having, including the members of the group. Everything that we said in English and Filipino was immediately translated to Korean.
“I understand that my comment could have been misconstrued when played on a short clip from all that had happened in the show, but I must let you know that there was no malice or any negative intention from my part.
“Moving forward and to make things easier, I will conduct programs in full English when hosting shows with international artists. I’ll make it up to you this time, comment below how I can make it better for all of you.
“I am sorry. Sincerely, Tim.” (RUEL J. MENDOZA)
