QuoteH1-KEY's Thai member Sitala addressed her pre-debut controversy. Previously, various netizens, both Korean and international, raised voices of protest against Sitala's debut after it was revealed that Sitala's late father had participated in Thailand's anti-democracy campaign. Afterward, Grand Line Group released an official statement to clarify that Sitala was a minor during the mentioned campaign.
Addressing the press in person for the first time as a member of H1-KEY, Sitala revealed on this day, "I want to clarify that I do not wish to express any political stance. I was very young at the time when my father participated in anti-democracy campaigns, and I did not fully understand the situation. However, I sincerely hope that the people of Thailand can live in peace despite their differences."

Overall, it's not a bad response, but she was 18 when she was allegedly calling for and supporting the coup and blood/dirty money has allegedly paid for her schooling, lifestyle, debut, etc. so I totally understand that people aren't buying nor accepting her response.
