BIGBANG’s Taeyang Faces Racism Accusations Over Old Video. Fans Hit Back!
A short video clip recently appeared on X. In it the ‘Eyes, Nose, Lips’ singer uses a filter that changes his face to look like Kanye West. He also tries to copy the way the rapper speaks and wishes fans a happy monkey New Year. It is from 2016, which was the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Hence, he chose those words.

Earlier, many international fans criticised BIGBANG’s Taeyang heavily. Now the same clip has resurfaced after almost ten years. Some fans note that the singer removed the video right away after the criticism and shared a clear apology. He admitted the mistake at the time. These fans say it is nice that he took responsibility. At the same time, they question why people bring back an old video that was already handled and never repeated.
