Rapper San E has yet again managed to put himself in the headlines after offending the audience with his comments about feminism during a concert over the weekend.

While onstage at the concert Brand New Year 2018 on Sunday, San E used an expletive before rapping in English before an audience of 5,000: “Womad is poison. Feminist, no. You’re a mental illness.â€

In another politically charged comment, the rapper said he supports “normal women†before criticizing radical online feminist communities Womad and Megalia as “male-bashing.â€

The comments came during a break in Sunday’s concert after some audience members chastised the rapper for his views on gender issues, holding up placards criticizing him during his performance and throwing a stuffed toy with an offensive message at him.

Last month, San E faced criticism after releasing his single “Feminist†over lyrics that many saw as sexist and ignorant of what feminism stands for. 

Part of the lyrics go, “I don’t understand that men and women aren’t equal at this point. It’d make sense if my grandmother said so, but what was so unfair when you grew up?â€

His remarks about Womad and Megalia caused outrage from the audience, briefly halting the concert at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Seoul.

“Even if you continue to attack me, I have zero interest. No matter what you lot say, I just go my way,†the rapper said during the concert.

In a video shared on social media, fans appeared confused and some were visibly angry, shouting comments at the rapper like “Just do your job,†and “Get off the stage.â€

San E continued, saying, “Just because you paid and went into a restaurant, it doesn’t mean you can cause havoc.†

Following the controversial remarks, Rapper Rhymer, who heads the hip-hop label behind the event Brand New Music, apologized on behalf of San E.

“To those who were offended, I apologize on his behalf,†Rhymer said onstage as he bowed to the audience.

Despite Rhymer’s apology, San E’s attitude provoked mixed reactions online after the concert.

“He lacks professionalism. Not all audience members are from Womad and Megalia, yet he lost his cool during the performance and caused chaos,†one angry user on Naver wrote.

Another user came to San E’s rescue, writing, “San E has the right to free speech, just like feminists.†

Despite the controversy, the rapper seemed undeterred as he teased the release of a new single, “OongAngOong,†on Twitter in the early hours of Monday morning.

So he's still bitter about the whole event that made him got called out eh.

While I agree radical feminism is as bad as terrorism- the reason why he's being criticized in the first place is NOT because of him against the radical feminism.

He's being criticized because he's actually putting down feminism and have a lot of misunderstanding of what real feminism is about- especially in his first song which ironically titled "feminist".

Instead of saying sorry- he is too proud to admit his wrongs and just run to silly excuse like "I'm talking about those radical feminist group!"

Stupid, stupid man.

If he had said sorry and typical stuff like "I'm going to reflect on my mistake, if there are misunderstandings then clearly I haven't been articulate enough in my first song about who the target of my dishes is"--- he would still have his career.

 

But nooo, he has to be a typical proud man who thinks saying sorry is beneath him.

I can see his type in many men actually.

Those men who think women are beneath them- so apologizing to women is something that they should do only in halfhearted way, and completely unnecessary. Instead of trying to be introspective, he's just defending himself and mansplaining his "feminist" lyric(I'm sure he thought his explanation would make women&feminists feel stupid for /misunderstanding/ him), and then further more pretending that he's about against the radical feminist groups. In a way, he's using those radical feminist groups as scapegoat too.

 

Silly, silly man.

Don't let him anywhere near the 4 BNM boys who'd debut next year- he's bad influence for younger men.
