American late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel is under fire for allegedly disrespecting K-pop fans before BLACKPINK's "Shut Down" performance.
BLACKPINK performed their latest song on the September 19th episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', and the host's introduction has ruffled some K-pop fans' feathers. Before the girl group performed, Jimmy Kimmel introduced them, saying, "This is the reason that all the kids are excited. From this album titled 'Born Pink', here's the song 'Shut Down' by BLACKPINK."
Some netizens are now expressing annoyance over his comment on social media. They commented, "I am 22. Do not think I classify as a 'kid' anymore," "Why do interviewers always call K-pop fans children," "I knew I wasn't the only one who thought it was weird of Jimmy to call us 'kids.' I'm far from a kid," "Jimmy Kimmel never fails to be condescending. 'This is the reason all the kids are excited,'" and more.
