Sam Okyere joined the team “Lee Sang Hwa and the Hunters” that Lee Sang Hwa was the captain of. The team members consisted of Mo Tae Bum, Julian Kang, and Sam Okyere.
Compared to the other contestants, Sam Okyere had less air time. It seemed he was edited out in many of the scenes as he didn’t even appear in the full shot of the entire team.

The controversy began when Sam Okyere called out the students at Uijeongbu High School for using blackface in their parody. Since then, netizens uncovered Sam Okyere’s racist actions in the past and called him a hypocrite. The situation grew worse for the TV personality when netizens found that Sam Okyere had replied “Preach” to a comment stating “Cute once you go black you never go back” on a photo of him and actress Park Eun Hye.
Many netizens have felt comfortable to find that Sam Okyere had made a statement that seemed to agree with a sexual statement made towards women.
