Korean Idol from20 Fires Back at Racist Comments with Fierce Response

Korean idol from20, also known as Raehwan, has recently spoken out against racist comments made about his latest song, 'Big Boy', off his upcoming album Rated R. The backlash stemmed from the long-standing stereotype that Asian men have smaller penises than men from other ethnicities

from20 responded to the racist comments, calling the poster out and saying 'some things are better experienced than explained.' Fans praised the idol for standing up to hate and for 'talking his sh*t'.
