Eric Nam said, "...when I was recording for 'SNL' there was a part where I dress up as Gandhi and portray him in a silly way, but I thought it was so weird. I would feel terrible if white people in the States dressed up as Koreans on TV, pulled their eyes and said, 'I am Korean.' So I ended up changing that part...I am glad that I am becoming more famous so I can voice my opinions on matters like this."�
