On April 24, Sam Okyere expressed anger and disappointment via Instagram. He stated,
"Black face in 2017. I just want to say this is NOT acceptable!!!!! We are not for comic purposes. This should stop now!!!!! I'm highly disappointed. NO MORE BLACKFACE!!! Or any sort of discrimination against any group or race.
All the prejudices, racial discrimination, colorism should stop with immediate effect. Let's stop this!!!!"
In Korean, Sam Okyere wrote,
"Watching such scene on TV is upsetting and annoying. I hope it never appears on a broadcast again. We have to get rid of all discrimination on race!!!! I appreciate everyone who is giving support. We can do it together!! Thank you.
The color of our skin may be different but the color of our blood is the same. Let's all fighting!"
Back in January, Sam Okyere touched many hearts as he opened up about the racism he faced in Korea. Meanwhile, Australian TV personality Sam Hammington also recently called out Hong Hyun Hee for the unacceptable comedy skit.
