    Hwiyoung and Chani have been booked for violating disease prevention regulations.

    On January 27, it was reported that the police received a report of a drinking establishment operating at 1 a.m. KST on January 18, where Hwiyoung and Chani were present. Current COVID-19 regulations only allow operation until 9 p.m. KST in Seoul.

    The establishment had the door locked and would not open the door, causing the police and firemen to force the door open.

    At the time, there were a total of 15 people present including Hwiyoung, Chani, their acquaintances, and the establishment’s staff, and they were all booked by the police for violating disease prevention regulations.

    This is FNC Entertainment.
    We found out today that SF9 members Hwiyoung and Chani violated Seoul COVID-19 control guidelines through a gathering with acquaintances on January 18 at 1 a.m. KST.
    Following their scheduled activities for the day, Hwiyoung and Chani were contacted by an acquaintance for Chani’s birthday and went to a hold’em pub in the neighborhood of Nonhyeon. Due to this, they were questioned for violating disease control regulations.
    It is definite that Hwiyoung and Chani’s actions were careless and deserving of criticism. They are reproachful of themselves for causing concern to fans and the public, and they are deeply self-reflecting and regretful.
    We also express deep apologies for being inattentive about managing our artists with no room for excuses. We will provide more thorough management and prepare measures so a situation like this does not occur again.
    We once again sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment to many people with this incident.

    Then why did the police have to literally break in? If they were just having a normal birthday party and lost track of time why wouldn't someone have just opened the door and apologized. I like SF9 but I'm also not a shooter for them when they do questionable shit

    anti vaxx?? yikes

    Quote

    “They said the vaccine hurt, so I didn’t get vaccinated,” Youngbin had said during the livestream. “Honestly I don’t think I’ll get COVID-19 even if I don’t get vaccinated because I’m not exposed to the dangers of COVID-19.”


    “But I am a bit scared because a lot of my acquaintances have contracted COVID-19,” the singer added. “It seems like you can get COVID-19 even if you get vaccinated, so I’m wondering if I have to.”

    Quote

    However, some of the Younbin’s fans have since pointed that the singer’s words seem to have been taken out of context. They noted that during his V Live appearance, the singer said that he had “previously” tried to schedule a vaccination appointment, but that “there weren’t any [available]” at the time.

    Quote

    Youngbin has since apologised and said, “I am deeply reflecting on having made such careless remarks in a broadcast watched by many people. I will be vaccinated as soon as possible, and I will rectify my misguided thoughts and be more careful and mindful with my words and actions.”

    This is a big yikes bc this whole covid situation shouldn't be take lightly when everybody is seeing how much this is affecting our lives so a huge unnecessary mistake. HUGE UNNECESSARY mistake.

    They chose this, they literally chose so i hope they start thinking first before dragging the group more and more.

    SF9 has so much potential, but they all should be more careful! This isn't time to be playing dumb... Literally...
