Intel and “Vice” magazine recently held a visual arts and technology showcase ‘The Creators Project’ at the Dongdaemun Design Park & Plaza in Seoul on September 21~23. On the 22nd, Tiger JK along with 2NE1, Idiotape, Nosaj Thing and other acts performed at the show.
However, during Tiger JK’s performance, foreigners yelled at him, “Shut up and just do the horse dance,” referring to Psy’s hit song. He lost his cool and for 10 minutes launched into a tirade about how he wasn’t “there to make people laugh” and he was “sick of CNN and Hollywood stereotyping Asians as comics.”
After the media and netizens suggested that he should have kept his cool, he responded on Twitter on September 25 saying, “My sincere apologies to ya’ll good people. I coulda done without the racist rant towards white people. But except that I do stand by everything I said that night.”
