Naughty comments about Blackpink's Jennie: Malaysian comedian gets called out

Malaysian celebrities seem to be getting on the wrong side of K-pop stars’ fans recently.

Last week, actress Tiz Zaqyah drew the ire of BTS ARMYs after she commented that their hit song, Dynamite, was “a song for kids”. That song just topped the US Billboard singles chart, by the way. 

Now, Zizan Razak is being blasted for making a sexually suggestive comment about Blackpink’s Jennie.

The 36-year-old comedian commented on a recent photo of Jennie on Instagram where her Calvin Klein underwear band was showing. Zizan cracked a joke, saying that the underwear was his.

He wrote in Malay: “Ah sweetie, no wonder I couldn’t find my boxers. You were wearing them. Please wash it before giving it back because I bought them at a bundle store. I had to deep dive to find it.”

His comment received thousands of likes but Zizan deleted it soon after the uproar began.

Netizens called him out for making comments that could be seen as sexual harassment. One Instagram user said he was embarrassing Malaysians, while another said he should be ashamed of himself.

Meanwhile, some commenters sided with Zizan, saying the Jennie had invited such comments because of her attire.

Blinks, the collective name adopted by Blackpink fans, in Malaysia were unhappy at the controversy Zizan courted with his joke. “As a Blink and a Malaysian, I think what Zizan said is so disgusting and perverted,” said @BlinkeuB.

The whole episode caused Zizan to become a trending topic on Twitter in Malaysia.

One Twitter user, @jenniedeukiekim, said Zizan’s comment “was nowhere near funny” and called out people who said that Jennie needed to cover up. The person added: “Jennie is the victim here. Not him.”

Another user said, “It’s not about defending Kpop artist but Zizan’s comment (sic) really gross to me. She’s a woman. Where is respect?”
