After announcing plans to open a Thai restaurant in Malaysia, the viral Thai Hot Guys will be making an appearance in the Klang Valley later this week. Unfortunately, the news isn’t so well-received.
Yesterday, local social media personality Caprice shared a video on his Instagram account, revealing that the four members of Thai Hot Guys would be making an appearance at Mattress Premium Outlet (MPO) in Petaling Jaya this weekend. The event, titled “Thai Hunk Coming To MPO”, is scheduled for 26th July 2025 (Saturday) and will include meet-and-greets with the viral influencers.
A quick check on MPO and the Thai Hot Guys members’ social media pages confirmed the event. An announcement post also revealed that fans can win a chance to meet the four internet personalities. The event will be held at the MPO Showroom in Petaling Jaya from 11am to 5pm. While the meet-and-greet received interest from fans, it also drew flak from Malaysian netizens.
In his post about the event, Caprice tagged local authorities and the Immigration department, urging them to block the Thai Hot Guys from entering Malaysia and attending the event. The comments also argued that the event is disrespectful to the local culture, given the controversial content the Thai Hot Guys are known for. Others also questioned how MPO had received approval to hold the event.
As of writing, MPO hasn’t responded to the backlash. However, it’s worth noting that the Thai Hot Guys are likely only attending the event to promote the store and might not engage in their typical sexy content. The group also faced similar backlash after announcing plans to open a restaurant in Malaysia. However, owners Dee and Wow explained that the restaurant will not have the dancing concept as the group wants to respect Malaysian culture.
We hope MPO can clarify this event as soon as possible to avoid any more controversy. However, can an explanation change the public’s perception? What are your thoughts on this?
