Social media personality Xian Gaza took a swipe against BINI after the P-pop group was spotted wearing a face mask during their arrival at an airport.
It can be recalled that members of BINI received criticism on social media after they wore face masks and shades to hide from the public eye.
In a Facebook post, Xian described how K-pop idols didn’t try to hide themselves when traveling for work as it would be a gesture to fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of them.
“Ang mga K-pop superstars, kapag namamasyal sa pampublikong lugar eh naka-sombrero sila, naka-shades at naka-mask upang hindi sila dumugin. Pero kapag on the way sila sa isang show, kumakaway at nagba-bow sila sa mga die hard fans sa airport bilang respeto matapos silang maghintay ng matagal. It’s a very simple gesture to show humility in the middle of global stardom,” said Xian.
“At the same time, it’s a good strategy to market their group para mas lumawak pa ang kanilang fan base. Na kahit sobrang sikat na kayo eh nandito kayo sa harap naming lahat, walang takip ang mukha, greeting all of us. Very down to Earth. Sobrang nakakataba ng puso. On the other hand, it’s good for business as walking products of your agency. Win-Win for everyone. Walang talo. Unless masyadong mataas na ang tingin niyo sa inyong mga sarili,” he added.
Xian then mentioned the K-pop group Blackpink, of which the members didn’t wear face masks so their fans could see them.
“Baka feeling nila mas sikat na sila sa Blackpink,” he stated.
