4th-Gen Male Idol Is Going Viral For Speaking Out On “Racism” Against Foreigners In Korea
Xdinary Heroes drummer Gunil is going viral for hitting back at the racism faced by foreigners in Korea in a debate.
Gunil recently appeared on the Korean show The Logic, which features participants debating various topics.
A clip is going viral among netizens as one of the topics was about “foreign neighbours” being designated as “public safety zones,” and Gunil was opposing the motion.
The idol took his time as an “immigrant” when he lived in America for a decade, and how it would have felt if that had been rolled out towards Koreans. In particular, he hit back at the idea that nationality is the cause of crime, instead bringing up reasons like overty, unemployment, and social alienation.
Within a day of being posted, the tweet had over 15,000 likes and had been viewed over a million times.

Netizens couldn’t stop praising Gunil’s mature answer, explaining how it seemingly hit back at the “racist” mentality that many foreigners faced when they were in Korea.
“But the main causes of crime are not nationality, they’re factors like poverty, unemployment, and social alienation”….IN CONCLUSION FUCK CAPITALISM, FUCK NEO IMPERIALISM, FUCK THE UNFAIR SYSTEM. https://t.co/4RJcHaRNms

Cleared that bitch and he lost.. He made three very clear points. The main cause of crime isn’t your race or nationality or immigration status. It’s poverty, lack of education, unemployment, etc. And racism plays a huge role in keeping certain groups of people at the bottom https://t.co/COKvRYKULQ

The OP shared that Gunil, unfortunately, lost the debate, which sparked even more shock.
