Group New Jeans Daniel apologized for referring to Lunar New Year as 'Chinese New Year'.
On the 21st, Daniel said through New Jeans' official SNS account, "On Thursday, January 19th, I sent a message to Bunnies saying, 'what ru bunnies are doing for Chinese new year?'"
He continued, "I deleted it immediately after realizing my mistake, but the message has already been delivered to many people, and it cannot be undone."
He also said, "Because the Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated in many countries and regions, including our country, my expressions were inappropriate and I am deeply reflecting on this.

Below is the full official position of New Jeans Daniel.
Hello, this is New Jeans Daniel.
Last Thursday, January 19th, I posted "what ru bunnies doing for Chinese new year?" I sent a message saying: I realized my mistake and deleted it right away, but the message has already been sent to many people and it cannot be undone.
Since the Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated in many countries and regions, including our country, my expression was inappropriate and I am deeply reflecting on this. I would also like to express my sincere apologies to Bernice and the many people who may have been disappointed or hurt by this.
I will not forget this incident and will try to act and express myself more carefully in the future.
sorry again.
