Korean Men Threaten To Boycott Oasis Due To

Recently, a wave of backlash has emerged among some Korean men who are urging a boycott of the renowned British band Oasis.

This movement gained momentum following viral discussions on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that highlighted the Gallagher brothers’ advocacy for feminist ideals.

The situation has ignited a passionate debate online, drawing a mix of support and ridicule for the boycott initiative.

The controversy coincided with Oasis’s announcement of their much-anticipated comeback tour, which is set to include stops in various locations across the UK and internationally,

including a potential concert in Seoul, though details about the date and venue remain unconfirmed.

Almost immediately, social media users began sharing posts advocating for the boycott, resulting in several tweets going viral and attracting considerable attention.

One particularly popular post includes a screenshot of Noel Gallagher seemingly making a gesture that some have controversially linked to feminists making fun of the size of Korean men’s genitals.

Although many argue this gesture was misinterpreted, it has nonetheless stoked outrage among certain Korean men, further fueling the boycott sentiment.

One user on X called for action, stating, “Noel Gallagher is a supporter of Megalia [a feminist online community in South Korea]. Men, let’s boycott the ticket sales. We need to show these feminists what we think.” This sentiment has echoed across several posts, amplifying the call for a collective response.

Another viral moment came from a video clip where Noel Gallagher shares his journey toward identifying as a feminist. He recounts a conversation with his wife and her friends, who pointed out his feminist views based on his belief in gender equality. In a light-hearted manner, he expresses surprise at realizing he had feminist beliefs, stating, “I didn’t know I was one until I was badgered by six drunk women at a table, telling me, ‘Actually, you are one.’”

Additionally, past social media interactions from Liam Gallagher have resurfaced, where he openly celebrated International Women’s Day and acknowledged his feminist stance. One Korean user’s tweet reminds others, “Liam Gallagher is a feminist too, you haven’t all forgotten that, right? He celebrated International Women’s Day, so don’t overlook his support.”

In contrast to the calls for a boycott, many Korean women and feminists have mocked the initiative, suggesting that if the boycott is successful, it may simply result in fewer competitors for tickets to the Seoul concert. Their reactions highlight a significant divide in opinions regarding the Gallagher brothers’ feminist positions and the subsequent backlash.

This ongoing debate raises questions about the complexities of feminism, cultural perceptions, and how public figures are received across different contexts. The responses have varied widely, showcasing both the support and criticism of the Gallagher brothers’ views on gender equality.
