Sam seemed a bit upset at Kangnam's question while Tony An yelled, "Of course there are TVs! You're making a mistake." However, Kangnam continued, "They have broadcast stations like SBS, MBC..? '(Shows like) 'Laws of the Jungle'?" Sam answered, "Of course, they even play Korean dramas nowadays."

Kangnam asked another question, and said, "Are there subways?" Sam replied, "No, but there are buses and airplanes, and also lions", and added, "But I'm also a city man. I need to go to the zoo if I want to see lions. The city in Ghana is similar to Seoul."

Kangnam then asked, "Oh, so there are buildings? Are there also clubs?" Tony An chimed in and said, "Of course, they must have them."

Following the broadcast, netizens criticized Kangnam for his rude questions and commented, "Isn't he rude? He's joking but also looking down on his country..", "This is not the first time Kangnam made insensitive remarks. He's so rude", "No manners at all."
