![]() And in some instances, it’s not just the artist actions but the fandom reacting to it that affects that decision. I think it’s up to individual fans and especially those in the communities that he mentions in his lyrics to decide for themselves if they want to stay in the fandom or leave. And I hope it continues to go in this direction where artists are addressing, apologizing, and growing from things both present and in the past. While I do think this is steps in the right direction, I don’t think it’s ‘the best apology ever’ either. You might read my comments and roll your eyes and say “people will never be satisfied”. “Inappropriate” makes it sound like he used some swear words, but what he did was use a racial slur and use language to demean marginalized communities. The lyrics weren’t just 잘못된 or inappropriate, they were offensive and derogatory.

Once again, I sincerely apologize to all of those who I have scarred due to my past behavior. I will always cherish the love and support sent by fans globally and will become someone who stands on stage with a righteous heart. Because of this, I feel greatly ashamed of myself for writing such lyrics in the past.Īs I fully understand that such behavior cannot be excused simply because of young age, I will reflect upon my actions deeply. The reason why I chose to become a singer was so I could express myself through music and connect with many people. I apologize for hurting so many people with the lyrics written without thinking enough.ĭue to this incident, I was able to think deeply while reading comments that many had left, as well as the lyrics I wrote in the past. I wrote the inappropriate lyrics with only the single thought of wanting to rap during my irresponsible, younger days. Without any excuse, this is completely my fault.
