Korean singer and content creator Eric Nam did not expect his one-sentence post about Manila traffic to blow up. Nor did he expect Pinoy netizens on Twitterverse to feast on his statement with a hilarious comment party.
On Thursday, Eric could not help it but share his thoughts about Manila’s horrible traffic, made worse by the continuous rains.
manila your traffic is unmatched

We should have warned you that you should have downloaded 2 movies in Netflix. While we're at it, you may want to start by watching #TREASURE #BONA_BONA MV. 😀

Even though they had some fun on Twitter, this did not stop them from waiting in the rain to catch a glimpse of their idol, who was scheduled to perform on the Wish Bus.

Eric Nam is currently in Manila to perform at the Ayala Malls Market Market! Despite the trolling though, Eric received a warm welcome from Pinoy fans and most of the comments on his tweet were generally positive. Love the Philippines, Eric!
