Recently, the series Girl From Nowhere returned with a spin-off titled Girl From Nowhere: The Reboot.

The spin-off stars “Becky” Rebecca Armstrong as a new version of Nanno, and is currently airing weekly on Netflix.
The show faced some backlash from its initial announcement, including criticisms of Becky’s acting and a recently cancelled collaboration.

However, the latest criticism surrounding the show has nothing to do with its content.
Girl From Nowhere and its spin-off both focus on Nanno’s adventures as a mischievous, supernatural entity who seeks to punish wrongdoing in high schools. For example, an episode from the show’s second season shows a boy who previously got many girls pregnant becoming pregnant himself.
Girl From Nowhere: The Reset‘s second episode shows Nanno dealing with a group of voyeuristic young men who have already victimized others by taking inappropriate photos.
It seems for the episode, the idol-actor pairing of LAZ1 members “Offroad” Kantapon Jindataweephol and “Daou” Pittaya Saechua hosted a screening party, where they imitated the scene.

During this, one dressed as Nanno, as the other mimed the scene where Nanno holds the phone camera under her skirt while laughing.

Daou shared an apology after, claiming to have realized how inappropriate it was.
I want to sincerely apologize for the scene in the clip where I was dressed as Nanno from Girl From Nowhere.
The idea came from the character’s iconic behavior in the series, and I continued the bit when I surprised Offroad, who plays “Pek.” However, I now understand that the… https://t.co/xnA0Z2j3ov

However, this was also met with harsh responses, accusing the actor of only making the apology due to the backlash.

yeah you had “no intention” because you’re ignorant and stupid. why are men so stupid. realize your fucking privileges, educate yourself, do better. you’re a grown man. the “no intention” speaks a lot about you and what you stand for, what you normalizes in day to day basis. https://t.co/PgR5dglibf
