Liam Gallagher is facing backlash after posting a racially offensive phrase on X (formerly Twitter) just months before Oasis’s long-awaited concert in Seoul.

On July 1, 2025, the former Oasis frontman tweeted the slur “Ching-Chaeng-Chong,” a phrase long criticized for mocking East Asian languages and appearances.

Though he deleted the post shortly after, screenshots quickly circulated online sparking outrage among international fans, particularly those in Asia.

The Seoul show is part of Oasis’s global reunion tour, with Goyang Stadium set to host tens of thousands of fans. Now, however, the incident risks casting a shadow over the event. Some online are calling for a public apology, while others have expressed hesitation about attending the show altogether.

As of now, neither Gallagher nor his management team has issued an official statement. The controversy adds to a history of unpredictable social media behavior that has made Gallagher both a compelling and polarizing figure in the public eye.
