Oasis’ Liam Gallagher posts anti-Asian slur ahead of tour dates in Asia

Liam Gallagher, a member of the British band Oasis, faced criticism after posting the word “Chingchon” on his X account on July 1 without explanation. The word is widely recognized as a slur that mocks Chinese and Asian speech and has been used to demean Asian communities around the world.

The incident happened days before Oasis’s reunion tour with shows scheduled in Seoul and Tokyo, prompting criticism from Asian fans and calls for accountability. Following backlash, Gallagher briefly responded to users who questioned his post and then deleted it. He later posted an apology, writing, “Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn’t intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love LG x.”
