god's Joon Park Comforts Fans Amid Controversy Over Gyeongju Mayor's Remarks

Joon Park, a member of the popular South Korean group g.o.d, showcased his magnanimous nature by comforting fans following a controversial remark made by the Mayor of Gyeongju. The mayor's inappropriate comment had sparked outrage among fans, prompting Park to step in and soothe their emotions.

On the 9th, Joon Park addressed the situation by saying, "No matter what anyone says, we're okay. We've been in this business for a long time. You know what I mean?" He continued, "I don't want you to be hurt by someone's careless words. We're fine, so I hope you can also broaden your hearts and not be hurt." His heartfelt message aimed to reassure fans.

He further encouraged them by saying, "Don't stress over trivial things. We have bigger things ahead of us."

The controversy arose after a public recording of KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' in Gyeongju, where Mayor Joo Nak-young reportedly referred to g.o.d as "a washed-up group," causing an uproar among fans.

The recording featured a variety of artists, including g.o.d, Hwasa, ATEEZ, Lee Seung-yoon, Song So-hee, Jeong Dong-won, Jo Jae-jazz, Kiki, and Psy. The mayor's comment about g.o.d led to a flood of complaints on the Gyeongju City Hall website, demanding an official apology and explanation for the inappropriate remark.

Joon Park also expressed his gratitude to fans, saying, "You all worked so hard in this heat. You're always the best. To those who traveled down here, be careful on your way back and stay cool. Let's meet again soon. You gave me strength today."
