GOT7's Jackson appeared on a live stream broadcast recently and discussed being on 'Laws of the Jungle' with EXID's Hani.





However, it was during this that a casually thrown remark made by MC Choi Hyo Jong caught the attention of netizens for being derogatory towards Jackson. When the idol stated, "I went to the jungle," Choi Hyo Joong repeated this in a teasing manner and said, "You're a 'blanca.' 'I went to the jungle.'"





Although the other idols laughed, netizens relayed their immense displeasure at Cho Hyo Jong's words. The term "blanca" is a derogatory term in Korea used to describe South East Asian labor workers working in Korea. Fans of Jackson took offense and proceeded to leave angry comments.









They wrote, "Blanca..? Kekekeke are you in the right state of mind? Do you need to laugh after maligning somebody?" "This makes me so mad.. Choi Hyo Jong is truly trash. How does he know how mannerless it is to joke with a word like 'blanca,'" "Choi Hyo Jong, I know MC-ing is MC-ing, but this was really not right. To call him a 'blanca'.... you need to properly apologize to him for this," "To call him a 'blanca' kekekekekeke is he really an educated person?" and more.





What are your thoughts?
