Unhappy with what he experienced, he felt compelled to post a message to express his feelings. MUZU the owner of the hit song "Incompatible" and "Never" shared a post describing an incident when he took his mother to eat at a restaurant but was pressured by the owner through the musicians to go on stage and sing, even though he had already declined. MUZU wrote:
“The downside of calling an artist who is dining with their mother to sing on stage, using the audience's applause as pressure, is that I will never go to that restaurant again. About an hour ago at that place, I might have reluctantly gone up out of kindness to the musicians and was forced by the applause from every table, with the musicians provoking me.”
But later I thought about how many times I will be forced to perform unwillingly like this. They think it’s a cute event, but I already said I was there to relax and wasn’t ready, yet they still did it.
At the xxx restaurant in Nonthaburi, I think this was my fifth visit, but from now on I won’t go again. When I think about it, anyone can pressure us to get on stage like this, which is bad. If we refuse, they say we’re arrogant. No one knows the truth. For example, the owner might have learned from the musicians that this table belongs to MUZU, then pressured the musicians to make me go up, that’s possible.
At first, a staff member greeted me and asked at the table if I could sing. I already said no because I wasn’t ready and thanked them for being a fan of my music. In the end, they really pressured me to go up. I’m not angry or upset with either the musicians or the owner.
On the contrary, I feel weak and vulnerable, feeling that someone can treat me like this, forcing me with a method that seems gentle or cute. Sometimes if you meet mean people, they could force you in a bad way anytime, anywhere. That’s all. It’s better to just remove myself from these places and return to my small space.
Goodbye, lovely xxx restaurant.”
Many who read the post shared numerous comments such as: "If I met you, I would sing your songs for you because it’s a way to repay you for the songs you've sung for me," "I once saw a celebrity having coffee but didn’t dare ask for a photo," "If everyone brought manners and etiquette everywhere, this wouldn’t have happened; it should have ended when you said ‘No, I’m not ready.’ They should have respected your private time with family," and "I wonder if the owner realizes they have lost a lovely customer already."
