Emman Atienza, BTS at Nadine Lustre
PINAGTUTULANGAN ngayon ng mga fans ni Nadine Lustre at ng K-pop supergroup na BTS ang anak ni Kim Atienza na si Emman Atienza.
Patuloy na binabatikos si Emman ng mga netizens dahil pati nga ang nananahimik na si Nadine at ang BTS ay idinamay niya sa kinasasangkutang kontrobersya.
Ito’y kay kaugnayan pa rin sa viral “Guess the Bill” challenge na ginawa nila ng kanyang mga kaibigan kung saan hinulaan nila ang total bill ng kanilang nilafang sa isang sosyaling Japanese restaurant.

Umabot sa P133,423 ang kanilang kinain sa naturang resto. Ayon sa mga nakapanood ng kanilang TikTok video, insensitive at pagbabalandra raw ito ng kayamanan at karangyaan sa buhay habang napakarami pa ring Pinoy ang naghihirap.
Kasunod nito, naglabas ng saloobin si Emman at ipinagtanggol ang sarili sa pamamagitan pa rin ng TikTok, “The video was a joke. I thought it was obvious because we were laughing and the bill was at an outrageously high number. But apparently, it’s believable that I can pay that much for a dinner.
“So I want to clarify again. It was a joke. We didn’t pay that. It was my friend’s birthday and her agency treated us to a dinner,” aniya.
Dugtong pa ng anak ni Kuya Kim, “Even if I had paid that much, even if we did have that much money, it is our choice and our freedom to do what we want with money that we earned.
“‘Check your privilege.’ First of all, I’ve been so honest about the privileges I’ve been given and the privilege that I have in my life.
“For example on my podcast with Kush, I mentioned that I’m not one to deny the privilege I’ve been given.
“And on top of that, I’m also very open about the fact that I’m a nepo baby. I’m not ignorant nor do I deny the privilege I’ve been given and I never have been.
“Hypothetically if you won the lottery and you won, let’s say a million pesos. Are you gonna immediately be giving all of your million pesos to everyone around you?
“No, you’re gonna pay your bills. You’re gonna maybe get a nice dinner. You’re gonna get some nice clothes and then maybe the rest, you could possibly donate to charity.
“You are not gonna be giving each and every single bit of that million to other people. Be so honest right now,” aniya pa.
Kasunod nito, nabanggit nga niya si Nadine at ang BTS, pati na sina Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter at Olivia Rodrigo dahil sa usapin ng pagiging “privileged.”
Katwiran ni Emman, “I find it so ironic that they were talking about how I need to check my privilege. Nadine Lustre at a Bulgari event, praising her saying ‘radiant as always mother.’
“If you’re gonna hate on me for being rich, you need to do the same for everyone because guess what? Your favorite celebrities not just in the Philippines, but worldwide, if you have a BTS profile picture, I don’t want to hear you talking.
“If you have Taylor’s version in your name, I don’t want to hear you talking because your favorite celebrities make more, have more, and spend more than I ever have.
“I doubt any of them are redistributing their wealth; whether it be Nadine Lustre, BTS, f*ck*ng Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo.
“I doubt any of them are redistributing their wealth, and they have a thousand times more wealth than I do,” matapang niyang pahayag.
Pagtatanggol naman ng mga fans ni Nadine at ng BTS, maling-mali na ihalintulad ni Emman ang sarili sa kanilang mga idol. Pinaghirapan daw ng mga nabanggit na personalidad ang estado nila ngayon.
“Emman atienza dragging other people to her mess is so wild. Imagine dragging BTS without knowing their story and how they kept donating… what a nepo baby soo ewww.”
“President Nadine Lustre is trending because Emman Atienza mentioned her about wealth distribution and said something about Bulgari event. Girl, you can easily Google how Nadine is distributing her wealth through organizations The biggest was during and after Typhoon Odette.”
“I really do’t understand how that emman atienza girl even decided to bring bts up. how f*ck*ng stupid. you were born wealthy while bts had to work part-time jobs to get by, lived in a small dorm and squeezed themselves together, etc. how fucking insensitive.”
“Girl, libre ang google. Nadine Lustre is literally the Angel Locsin of her generation when it comes to helping people in need and advocating immensely for the environment. most importantly, she’s NOT an out-of-touch nepo baby like you, Emman Atienza. just take the L and go.”
“LOL, she should’ve just stopped recording the video the moment she acknowledged her privilege. gurlie didn’t need to mention BTS in her pointless statement. and fyi, BTS actively shares their wealth by donating to various charities, so f*ck off, emman atienza.”
“Emman atienza calling out nadine lustre unprovoked is even crazier when you remember nadine was/is a breadwinner.”
“Shut up na lang at aminin ang kamalian. Hindi yung kung anu ano pang alibi at paliwanag na wala namang sense. Buti pa yung friend mo nag sorry agad. Kaw dami mo pang kuda.”
“I don’t really get the hate for emman atienza and her friends for spending 133k for a dinner. It’s their money. It didn’t come off naman from people’s taxes right? And ‘di rin naman sila anak ng politicians so why hate the rich for spending that much from their OWN money?”
