Jacky Wu dismisses backlash against his interview with MAMAMOO's Solar
11 Jun - Jacky Wu recently dismissed the backlash against him over his recent comment in front of MAMAMOO's member, Solar on his show, "Mr. Player".
The whole issue sparked after Solar appeared on the show to promote her Chinese EP, "Floating Free", inviting praises from Jacky who told her that she is a good singer.
"I'm quite surprised. Many Korean girls are beautiful, but when they start singing, wow, it's really bad to listen to," said the TV personality.
Many then took to social media to slam Jacky, saying that he was being disrespectful and speaking out of turn. Some even alleged that an old school host like Jacky should just retire from the industry.
In response to the criticism, Jacky said that he has been accustomed to this kind of targeted criticism and that "the truth will become clearer as time goes by." He added that people should ask Solar herself if she was slighted by his comment.
"I was simply complimenting Solar for being beautiful and talented at singing. There's nothing wrong with that!" he added.
Jacky then revealed that he had just performed with Solar at the 11th anniversary event of his show, adding, "We've always upheld the spirit of 'It's great to have friends come from afar' in warmly welcoming every friend from the entertainment industry, both from Taiwan and abroad."
