Kangnam receives criticism after asking ignorant questions about Ghana to Sam Okyere.
On the October 22 episode of "My Ugly Duckling" by SBS, Tony Ahn of H.O.T. and Kangnam visited the personality of Ghanaian television, Sam Okyere.
While sitting in the living room talking, Sam Okyere, who has been living in Korea for nine years, said he had a tight schedule when visiting Ghana. Upon hearing this, Kangnam asked: "Are you a celebrity there?" When Sam Okyere replied that he even gave interviews, Kangnam asked surprised: "Are there televisions in Ghana?".
Tony Ahn tried to alleviate the situation by saying: "Of course there are televisions in Ghana", but Kangnam continued to ask if Ghana also had stations or clubs. Sam Okyere explained that the cities of Ghana are like Seoul before joking: "I also have to go to the zoos to see a lion."
Seo Jang Hoon, who had been watching the entire scene, commented that Kangnam must think that Ghana was simply a plain.
Although the overall tone of the conversation was not entirely serious, netizens said that Kangnam's questions were rude and racist. A spectator commented: "Is not it too rude? Even if it's a joke, he's belittling Sam Okyere's country. "
