Lovelyz Jin apologizes for thoughtless remark: “Idols are good at dating”

Lovelyz Jin apologized for his careless remarks regarding idol dating.

On the 5th, Jin said, "Before posting the Q&A video, I received the most questions related to dating. The purpose of this video was to resolve questions, so I thought I answered well and kept the line, but I really didn't think it would cause such misunderstanding and controversy. “I was short-thinking,” he said.

He then bowed his head, saying, "Whether I intended it or not, I think I clearly made a mistake in creating room for misinterpretation. I apologize for causing trouble."

Previously, Jin posted a video related to idol life Q&A on his YouTube channel. In the video, Jin said, “No matter how busy or difficult it is, friends do it secretly” and “It’s a meeting place for idols.”

Below is Jin’s full apology.

Before uploading this Q&A video, I received questions through Instagram in advance, and the most frequently asked questions were about dating.

Since the purpose of this video was to answer questions, I thought I answered well by staying within my own boundaries.

I really didn't expect it to cause such misunderstanding and controversy.

My thoughts were short.

Whether I intended it or not, I think I clearly made a mistake in leaving room for misinterpretation.

I am truly sorry for causing trouble.
