Sam Okyere covers up controversy over 'degrading and sexual harassment of Asians'

Sam Okyere returns. It has been about three years since the controversy over degrading Asians and sexual harassment arose. The program she appeared in was known as ‘Attack on Sisters.’ It is a story that will bring tears to your eyes and will reveal your feelings of injustice. The new drama written by Sam Okyere became an avenue to cover up the controversy.

On the 15th, an official from the Channel S entertainment program 'Attack on Sisters' announced, "Sam Okyere is scheduled to appear on 'Attack on Sisters'. It will be broadcast on the 21st."

‘Attack on Sisters’ is a program that listens to the concerns of the cast and provides advice and suggestions. Due to the nature of the broadcast, it is conducted in a format that resolves misunderstandings surrounding the contestants. Sam Okyere also talks about his controversies that have continued for three years.

Sam Okyere is a person who has been active in broadcasting in Korea. He received a lot of love by appearing on JTBC's 'Non-Summit' and MBC Every1's 'Korean Foreigner'.

However, it faced backlash in 2020 due to the 'racism' controversy. Sam Okyere publicly criticized a high school student's parody of 'Kwanjjak Boys', calling it a "racist act." Criticism continued, contrary to Sam Okyere's own thoughts.

Some words he used, such as 'ignorance', were pointed out as problematic. He was also criticized for using the word 'teakpop' (K-gossip) and belittling K-pop.

Past actions also became problematic. In the past, JTBC's 'Non-Summit' showed 'racist' behavior. While talking to other cast members, he made a gesture that seemed to tear his eyes out with both hands. This is a typical gesture that degrades Asians.

He also received a lot of criticism for posting a photo he took with an actress on social media. At that time, Sam Okyere abused 'sexual harassment words' towards the actress in question. In the end, the problem he criticized came from himself. Sam Okyere, who was in a state of self-contradiction, later left all broadcasts.

Sam Okyere often attempted to return to broadcasting. I appeared on a YouTube channel and expressed my feelings of injustice. He also confessed to the 'difficulty of living' in a situation where there was no broadcasting activity. Although there was a brief issue, it did not serve as a signal for a return to broadcasting.

Sam Okyere is a broadcaster who has already been forgotten by the public. The positive perception of him as an energetic young Ghanaian and a young man who thinks about Ghana's development has long since disappeared. However, Sam Okyere’s personal thoughts are different. He still seems to be greedy about activities in Korea.

Sam Okyere, who expressed resentment rather than wrongdoing. This is why attention is being paid to how he will justify his crimes in this broadcast appearance. Knowing that there was no place for him in the broadcasting industry, leaving was his last wise decision.
