Eric Nam recently welcomed Tom Holland and his co-stars from 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in South Korea with a live interview on Naver 'V-Live.' The interview was going quite smoothly and was all fun until a slip of the tongue from Tom Holland made the atmosphere quite awkward.
During the interview, the subtitles and translation services weren't working properly, so Eric being the bi-lingual idol that he is, decided to provide live translations throughout the interview. While translating and transitioning back and forth between English and Korean, Tom Holland suddenly questions how Eric Nam learned English saying, "You speak great English, though, man. How did you learn English?"
The remark from Tom Holland sparked a bit of controversy among netizens and fans of the popular singer. Many stated that, despite Eric being born in America, Tom's question showcases the idea that white Americans still view other ethnicities as outsiders or not belonging.
