We hold public figures to a certain standard, as they are the individuals whom people look up to for inspiration and to adapt as role models. As such, they should hold good values and also be held accountable in the case of discrimination.

Yesterday (1st July 2025, Tuesday), Oasis’ Liam Gallagher received backlash after posting a racially insensitive tweet. This happened ahead of the South Korea stop of Oasis’ long-awaited reunion tour. Unsurprisingly, netizens were outraged, calling out the 53-year-old singer for being racist and expressing their disappointment.

Following a series of tweets posted by the artist throughout the week, which were mostly of random words and phrases, Gallagher had posted a tweet reading “Chingchong”. The word has long been associated as a slur, mocking the language and appearance of East Asian people. Netizens have been calling the rock legend out for being racially insensitive ahead of his world tour, which includes shows in Korea and Japan in October.

Twitter user @/alivedemo comments, “I hope you understand why many fans like me are disappointed by what happened. You may not have intended to offend anyone by using those slurs, but the fact is you did”. Additionally, netizens have also called out other fans who have accepted Gallagher’s apology on behalf of Asian individuals, to which the slur is associated. Twitter user @/raptureinmyhead comments, “White people forgiving Liam Gallagher for being racist toward Asians is honestly hilarious”.

Calls for a boycott of the Asia leg of the tour have been circulating among netizens to serve as a lesson to the UK star. The post has since been deleted with Gallagher following up with another apology tweet which reads, “Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before, it wasn’t intentional, you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love, LG x”.

While the tweet has been deleted and an apology has been made, we hope Liam Gallagher will take this incident as a reminder of his actions. What are your thoughts on this?
