Quote

"Hello. This is Minchan. I would like to apologize to everyone who felt discomfort due to my comments on 'V Live' during the broadcast on January 6. To ensure that the same issue does not happen again, I will be cautious in my speech and approach my work seriously. I also intend to apologize in person to the individual addressed. I am deeply reflecting on my poor actions and speech, and once again deliver my apologies to everyone."

Quote from wendii

Well what did he say

To summarize: he had a classmate in I think middle school who was about to debut and he said he always thought celebrities were supposed to be perfect and pretty but that she was just normal and regular looking because he saw her every day at school without makeup and not dolled up and that it burst his bubble/celebrity fantasy. He said it casually, forgetting that he's a celebrity himself, that he should watch what he's saying at all times and that he's talking about a female sunbae that could very well see this and get hurt by it. He said it in a careless way, it was a bit impolite. Then he proceeded to give hints what group the girl was from? The two members who were with him really tried to stop him and correct him, one of them looked so annoyed at him and the other kept reminding him he was talking about a sunbae and they both tried to change the subject and were visibly annoyed at him. The live got deleted but a fan recorded that part because they were outraged.
