Rock star Artiwara Kongmalai, better known as “Toon Bodyslam”, has returned to running for charity. But instead of being hailed again as a hero, this time he’s been slammed – especially by young people who say he should be using his celebrity status to push for political change.

 

Artiwara’s fans have rushed to his defense, applauding him for his noble self-sacrifice. Caught in the middle, the Bodyslam frontman has maintained his silence, as always.

 

A week ago, he announced his upcoming charity run on Instagram. The 109-kilometre trek is scheduled to last 59 days, from January 1 to February 28, and aims to raise funds to educate 109 cash-strapped students.

"he should be using his celebrity status to push for political change."
