South Korean rapper Lee Taeyong's appearance on stage wearing a jacket with the Uşakspor logo at his concert in Seoul has become a hot topic on social media, and the club's management has released a statement regarding the matter.
The South Korean rapper Lee Taeyong's appearance on stage in a red-black jacket featuring the Uşakspor logo during a concert in the capital city of Seoul has created a significant buzz on social media. While the sighting of the Uşakspor emblem on an international concert stage drew attention, club officials also provided statements regarding the matter.
STATEMENT FROM UŞAKSPOR REGARDING THE VIRAL IMAGE
Speaking about the recent developments, Uşakspor Executive Mustafa Yalım stated that the incident first appeared on social media, saying, "It was posted on social media last week. We wondered if the new generation has any connections like in computer games. But then we saw that the artist had indeed worn our Uşakspor jacket design for three years and performed concerts and programs. Thus, we saw the artist representing a real Uşakspor logo to large crowds. We didn't look for any malicious intent behind it; initially, we liked it as management. When we researched the artist, we learned that he is a very popular singer among the new generation in Korea. Upon further investigation, we also found out that he had performed on stage a few months ago wearing a t-shirt with kebab and döner written on it. He probably has some connection to Turkey or, how should I put it, is he a descendant of our ancestors who were in the Korean War, we don't know."
'WE DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AT FIRST'
Yalım also conveyed how the incident reached the club officials, stating, "It came to our personal cell phones via WhatsApp from our fans. We didn't take it seriously at first. But then we saw that it started to circulate in the national media as well. However, there is no disturbing situation. The relevant artist is a well-known and loved artist in Korea and the Far East."
'WE ARE HONORED TO SEE OUR EMBLEM'
On the other hand, in a post made on Uşakspor Club's official Instagram account regarding the matter, it was stated; "The presence of artist Taeyong wearing our Uşakspor jacket during his stage performance has been a great source of pride for our club. The representation of the Uşakspor emblem on an international stage has once again shown that our club's values and brand strength transcend borders. As Uşakspor, we are honored to see our emblem in different parts of the world; we express our gratitude for this meaningful representation."
