Nevertheless, Erick Estrada tried to respond wisely to various insults directed at him. He believed that many fans of the song Mendung Tanpo Udan might be disappointed because their expectations were not met.

Moreover, Erick is known for always playing comedic characters in every film he has starred in.

"When I became the main character, I was immediately bullied. I don't blame the comments from netizens because some of them might be fans of the song Mendung Tanpo Udan and had expectations when an actor made a film, whether it's me or someone else as the main character," said Erick Estrada when contacted by the media on Wednesday (24/1).

"Honestly, maybe netizens didn't agree with me being the main character because in films, I always get comedic roles and there has never been a serious one," he added.

Erick Estrada also sees bullying in the form of comments about himself as a positive thing. He is well aware that his personal branding in the eyes of his audience since he first appeared in the entertainment world has often been comedic.

However, Erick Estrada asserts that he wants to step out of his comfort zone, especially in the comedy genre. In this film, Mendung Tanpo Udan, he ensures that he will give one hundred percent dedication to the role of Udan.

"In my opinion, bullying is positive. I don't see my bullies as negative because all this time, someone like Erick Estrada has branded himself since 2010 as an actor who should be known for his achievements or his work, not for sensation or controversy. For Erick, those who leave negative comments are friends or relatives because he believes they care and pay attention. So, whether Erick gets criticized or not, what's important is to see his work," he explained.

3. Remove All Posts on Instagram

In addition, Erick Estrada also explained his reason for removing all posts on Instagram and leaving only one because of curiosity and fear of harsh comments targeting his family.

"Actually, Erick always makes people happy with his works. Erick was shocked when his family was affected by bullying. So Erick is traumatized," he said.
