7 Photos of Bobon Santoso Responding to Willie Salim's Apology for Hurting Many People & Just for Content

"Whether the apology is sincere or not is between him and God," said Bobon when met in the Condet area, East Jakarta, on Monday (24/3/2025).

According to him, this incident has had a significant impact on the people of Palembang. Bobon mentioned that this incident has hurt many people, especially the community that feels affected. "But, this might have hurt a large community," he said.

Bobon believes that this issue started from insufficient preparation. He mentioned that in situations like this, Willie seems to be looking for ways to keep his content going. "So maybe, in my opinion, due to the lack of proper preparation, he is ultimately looking for a solution," he said.

Based on his observations, he sees that the main purpose of this event is indeed just to create content. Bobon assesses that content creation should be done more responsibly. "So you could say that the goal is indeed just for content, to seek views," he said.

Currently, the case has been brought to the police for further action. Bobon emphasized that he fully entrusts the authorities to determine whether there are any elements of violation. "Of course, we just leave it to the police, friends, to the police," he stated.

He hopes that the people of Palembang will remain patient in facing this situation. Bobon also wants incidents like this to serve as a lesson so that they do not happen again in the future. "We hope the people of Palembang will be patient, patient with tests like this," he expressed.

As a creator who often makes culinary content, he hopes that fellow creators can be more careful. Bobon believes that it is important for every creator to consider the impact of the content they create. "And we hope that in the future, content creators will not engage in actions that harm the larger community," he said. /far
