Korean girl group BLACKPINK has legions of fans all around the world, and all of them definitely want to meet them. But this guy just took things a step over the line by asking a BLACKPINK member Jennie out on a date — through a billboard in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. Yikes.
Who even is Xian Gaza?

If you haven’t heard of him, then we’re sorry to be the ones changing that. Christian “Xian” Gaza rose to infamy in 2017 after he asked actress Erich Gonzales to go on a coffee date with him — also via a billboard. He is also notorious for being a self-confessed scammer, and he was thrown into jail for violating the Bouncing Check Law.
He has a long history with these public pronouncements
In addition to Erich Gonzales, Gaza also publicly “wooed” actresses Nadine Lustre, Barbie Imperial, Ella Cruz, and Tiktoker Yuki Takahashi. Now it seems that Gaza is taking his so-called ‘wooing’ to an international scale.

His post
Gaza posted a photo of the billboard and captioned it with his letter to the K-pop singer printed on the billboard, along with its location address. “I don’t know how to contact her kaya pina-billboard ko nalang sa puso ng South Korea, a few kilometers away from BLACKPINK’s YG headquarters,” he said with the hashtag #JennieChristianDinnerDate. In a separate post, Gaza said the billboard cost him PHP 1.5 million.
A closer look at the billboard
The billboard had Jennie’s whole name, along with the message: “You are my ultimate crush. Can I take you out to dinner and make me the happiest man alive?” Yes, it really read like that. The billboard also featured a photo of Gaza in a suit.
But Jennie isn’t even in Korea

Gaza’s comment section is filled with netizens berating Gaza for yet another public wooing attempt. Fans of Jennie and BLACKPINK also took to social media to express their frustration.
But a few people are missing the point

Uh?? Are you supporting xian gaza because of his money? Kidding, if he’s really a fan of Jennie, he will respect her boundaries. Umabot na siya sa point na gagawin ang lahat para lang manotice ni jennie, he’s really a delulu. pic.twitter.com/Pn7iZCWFmB

Amid the berating happening in the comments section of Gaza’s post, a few people seem to be throwing support for him. Of course, they’ve got tons of netizens after them telling them how wrong this is.
One thing’s for sure
Boys and girls, if you’re paying attention to this guy, take note of what he’s doing and do the EXACT OPPOSITE. He’s doing ‘wooing’ all wrong. Putting a girl in the spotlight just to score a date is creepy, inappropriate, and manipulative. A billboard is NOT the way to a girl’s heart.
Can we all pool our money and put up a billboard on EDSA that reads, “Xian Gaza is a creep”?
