“KPOP: The Musical” producers demanded Friday that The New York Times issue an apology for an alleged racist remark that was made by theatre critic Jesse Green.
Producers Tim Forbes and Joey Parnes slammed the critic for “casual racism” in a letter that was sent to New York Times Chairman and Publisher A.G. Sulzberger and Theater Editor Nicole Herrington.
“To be clear, we respect Mr. Green’s right to be critical of the show. What we are asking you to address is the cultural insensitivity, underlying ignorance of and distaste for K-pop as a genre and what comes across as casual racism in his review.” KPOP — which opened November 27, 2022 — tells the story of three different groups taking part in a one-night-only documentary about KPOP.
