Jirayut Acknowledges He Has Forgiven the Comedian Who Roasted Him with the Name 'Thai Transvestite'

Kapanlagi.com - Jirayut finally speaks up after the roasting incident involving him went viral on social media. The artist from Thailand emphasized that he has forgiven comedian Bayu Wibowo for the words 'Thai transvestite' that were thrown during the event.

"I can't do anything about it, the important thing is that I have forgiven and said it. Thank God I am okay. But not necessarily the people who heard it," said Jirayut at SCTV Tower, Central Jakarta, Thursday (19/12/2024)

He also revealed that there was no prior notice regarding the roasting segment. The incident came suddenly without preparation from his side. However, Jirayut continued to participate in the event with a professional attitude.

"As for permission, I said I didn't know it was a roasting. But it's fine, right? It's work," he explained.

1. Had a Thought

When hearing words that were quite personal, Jirayut admitted he was somewhat shocked. He did not expect that such things could come out during a live broadcast.

"I was surprised. But I have to be more comfortable with the words," said Jirayut.

Jirayut also realized that people's perceptions of this incident were very diverse. Some considered it part of comedy roasting, but others felt that it had crossed the line.

"It depends on the person responding. Some say it's comedy Roasting. I have been roasted, but never like this; I just feel this is Roasting or bullying? I'm thinking again, speaking but afraid of being wrong," he said.

2. Now It's Relieved

Nevertheless, Jirayut remains calm and wise. He even considers this incident a lesson, both for himself and for others who often get involved in roasting.

"No, it's normal, just relax. I just enjoy it. Whether they want to roast me or what... Actually, yesterday I felt this was a roasting or more personal towards me? But when Bang Oki spoke, I felt relieved," he said.

"This is also a lesson for those who roast, roasting is not a problem, I’m not a sensitive person. But the words should be arranged better, it would be nicer," he concluded.

I agree with Jirayut. Keep the spirit everyone, if not now, when else?
