Filipino vlogger and influencer Gavin Capinpin, otherwise known as Ser Geybin, sparked a heated online debate after a segment of his recent TikTok livestream went viral on X (formerly Twitter).
The circulating clip on the platform features Ser Geybin laughing and kissing a photo of Mikha Lim, a member of the rising P-pop girl group BINI.
While the exact intent behind Ser Geybin's actions remains unclear, the clip has drawn criticism from BLOOMS (BINI’s fandom). They argued that the act disrespects Mikha, especially considering BINI's consistent advocacy for the respectful treatment of women.
This disapproval has gained traction online, with netizens expressing their frustrations on social media platforms.
“Ser Geybin, teacher ka pa naman. Fan mo ako since pandemic, pero now malalaman ko na binabastos mo ang [@bini_mikha] namin?! It's a big no for us!”
“And the fact na friend sila nila Mikha at ibang BINI member sa tiktok nakakadiri, what if makita nila yun?!”
BLOOMS further expressed disappointment towards Ser Geybin. They pointed out that his large audience may include young children, and this behavior contradicts the family-centric content he typically shares.
