We are used to it, every time

Pablo Motos

opens his mouth and goes out of the script, he messes up on social networks.

It's as if he had a constant target over his head, crouching, waiting for the moment when he makes a mistake or makes an inappropriate comment to go after him mercilessly.

It cannot be denied that there are many times that the presenter of

El Hormiguero

has been rightfully involved in a controversy.

However, the last one, the one that has become a

Trending Topic

since yesterday, the one that has provoked the anger of the fans of the k-pop group

BTS

is a hoax, it is false.

Let's go by parts.

This Wednesday he went to the anthill Alberto

Chicote

to present the special

Speaking in silver: the scandal of the residences

.

In one of the sections of the program Pilar rubio returned, who is in charge of bringing the latest in fashion and incidentally disguises the presenter and guest to the ridicule of the public and, of course, the so-called haters.

Well this Wednesday the latest of the latest were the skirts for men.

As is always the case in the Pilar Rubio section, the collaborator tells what it consists of, shows images of parades or characters who have worn it and then places the outfit in question on

Pablo Motos

and whoever comes.

Three men appeared in the images, one from

J-HOPE

, a member of the famous k-pop band

BTS

.

While

Pilar Rubio

commented on how well it looked and how she liked to see men in skirts, "it seems to me the most, it seems to me that it suits her very well", Pablo Motos replied with "and the Japanese Flipy is also very good".

And from here arises the great controversy for which

Pablo Motos

has been falling hosts like loaves since yesterday.

The fans of

J-HOPE

and his band did not understand

"Japanese Flippy"

but

"Japanese geek"

.

Result, accusations of racism, request for a public apology by

Pablo Motos

and

El Hormiguero

, insults everywhere...

Of course, you have to explain who

Flipy

was and, above all, you have to listen.

By putting on the piece of the video, coincidentally shared by the official J-HOPE

fan account

, and listening to it a couple of times just in case there is any doubt, the one who has seen

El Hormiguero

since the first season, the one who knows the program, who have been his collaborators in these 17 seasons, what sections have existed and are no longer there, and that is when the controversy falls on its own weight.

Flipy

was the 'mad scientist' of

El Hormiguero

in the early seasons.

He was the collaborator who was in charge of carrying out the most impressive and spectacular experiments of the first years of

El Hormiguero

.

He was a peculiar character, but very loved by the viewers.

That is to say, nothing of racism, insults and disrespect.

In fact,

Pablo Motos

has always shown the love he had (and still has) for

Flipy

.

If science triumphed in

El Hormiguero

in prime time, it was thanks to him and

Pablo Motos

' commitment to having science on television at that time.

Pablo Motos

's intention to

refer to

J-HOPE

as

"the Japanese Flipy"

probably referred to that extravagant and fun aspect that identified the collaborator so much.

But that was not understood, "geek" was understood, nobody corrected it and the wick, rather, the bonfire was already lit.

The only thing that can be criticized for

Pablo Motos

in this controversy is that

J-HOPE

is not Japanese but South Korean.

That is to say, the ignorance of knowing one of the members of one of the bands with the most followers in the world can be blamed, but the fact that he insulted, that he disrespected, that he shows that

Pablo Motos

is racist, once you hear what he actually said, is going over a hundred towns.

"We condemn the racist comment made by Mr.

Pablo Motos

from the

El Hormiguero

program in which he addresses

J-HOPE

in a derogatory way, calling him a "Japanese geek". We demand due respect from the artist."

Comment on Twitter from one of BTS's fan accounts.

Even media specialized in k-pop bands have echoed on the other side of the pond what

Pablo Motos

did not say .

Not to mention who takes advantage of the fact that Pisuerga passes through Valladolid and in the face of the false controversy returns the controversy to the spotlight with the announcement of the Ministry of Equality,

Pablo Motos

and Elsa Pataky's sexy clothes.

Pablo Motos's comments are reproached, but always with insults and attacks that place them at the same level as what is being criticized.

And what can be done?

After is the avalanche against

Pablo Motos

that no matter how much it is known that he did not say "geek" but

Flipy

, it will not matter exactly.

It is the impunity of social networks.

Pablo Motos

can

be blamed for so many things, so many blunders, as many terrible comments as there are videos of all of them, but not this time, this time he did not say that, this time it is

fake news

.
