Recently, when Taiwanese female singer Rainie Yang held a solo concert in Zhengzhou, she said that "Henan people love to deceive people" when interacting with fans, which sparked heated discussions and appeared on the hot search. Although Rainie Yang interacted with fans in a joking tone, it seemed that she wanted to play a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but as a public figure, this kind of "regional black" joke is not funny.
At the concert, when Rainie Yang sang her masterpiece "Left", the faces of the audience captured by the photographer flashed on the big screen, and when she saw someone kissing, the audience screamed enthusiastically. When she interacted with everyone after singing this song, she said that she wanted to find a pair that she kissed when singing. The interaction was not controversial and the atmosphere remained lively.
However, in the follow-up interaction, Rainie Yang said "Zhengzhou people are very naughty", "I don't find it today, I won't continue to sing", "Henan people can't be like this", "You already have some reputation, you know", "Love to deceive people, don't lie to me" and other remarks. Although these remarks are in a joking tone, as a public figure, it is not appropriate to make jokes about the region.
Although Rainie Yang issued an apology afterwards, saying, "I want to apologize for the offensive and impolite joke at the Zhengzhou concert, I'm sorry." It is indeed my fault, and I am very willing and should accept everyone's timely correction and criticism. Once again, I would like to apologize to those who have been troubled by me", but the discussion has not stopped.
As a public figure, be cautious in everything you say and do, and don't use ignorance and unintentionality as excuses. A "joke" may attract more abuse and attacks to Henan people. I hope Rainie Yang can learn a lesson and be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to cause controversy again.
