Brilio.net - The Indonesian U-23 National Team's defeat against Uzbekistan with a score of 0-2 in the 2024 Asian Cup semifinals caused commotion among netizens. One of those who was also the target of Garuda Muda's defeat was YouTuber Jerome Polin Sianggaran.
Through the hashtag #Jerome, netizens on X (Twitter) accused Jerome of being unlucky with the term "Jerome Polin Curse". This Mathematics whiz received criticism after he openly gave full support to the Garuda Muda squad via his Instagram Stories, during Indonesia's match against Korea, but ended up losing.
Knowing that his name had become a topic of conversation, Jerome Polin immediately made a video apologizing to netizens for the national team's defeat in last night's match.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jerome Polin, I want to apologize because yesterday I supported the National Team, but I lost," said Jerome, quoted by brilio.net from his Instagram, Tuesday (30/4).

Through his video, he said he would support the Indonesian national team in other ways so that defeat due to the 'Jerome curse' would no longer occur in the next match. As is known, Indonesia will fight Iraq to win third place and tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"In the future, I will support the national team and hopefully the Indonesian national team can win 3rd place in the AFC and qualify for the Paris Olympics, great!" added the celebrity with 8 million followers on Instagram.
Nevertheless, quite a few netizens still criticized Jerome for his apology video which was intended to be a joke. Netizens thought that Jerome's apology was still wrong at the end of his statement, he gave support to the Indonesian National Team to get the 3rd place title.
"DON'T SAY THAT YOU WIN 3rd, YOU COULD LOSE LATER," explained @fandiryan.
"Please don't support it anymore at the end of the video," added @nessiejudge.
"Bro, take the last sentence again, pls," said i.zyyy0.
"Brother, your work is not finished for Indonesia, come on, support IRAK so we can win," said @ameliarahmita.
There are many things that make the man born in May 1998 called unlucky. First, Jerome openly fully supports the basketball club, the Golden State Warriors. After being supported by Jerome, the club lost three matches in a row.

Apart from that, there was also another coincidence that when Jerome visited Nijisanji's office, after he arrived there, one of the VTubers was almost fired. Many netizens then responded to Jerome's unlucky joke by storming his social media comments column.
