Bae Jin-young Addresses Controversy Over Deleted 'Modern We Got Married' Teaser with (G)I-DLE's Miyeon

Singer Bae Jin-young has spoken out about the controversy surrounding the teaser video for a 'modern We Got Married' featuring him and (G)I-DLE's Miyeon, which was released and then deleted.

On the 13th, Bae Jin-young met with Ten Asia at a café in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, to discuss his first mini-album 'STILL YOUNG'.

Bae Jin-young explained, "The issue seemed to arise because the video thumbnail labeled it as a 'modern We Got Married'. I didn't even know who the other person was, or if they were male or female, when we started." He continued, "It was simply a game where you win by raising the other person's heart rate. I was surprised to see it portrayed that way. It was shocking. I approached it purely as a game, so I wasn't startled when I saw the other person. But when it was labeled as a 'modern We Got Married', I was taken aback."

Previously, on the 9th, the YouTube channel 'TRIP KODE' released and then deleted a travel date teaser video featuring Bae Jin-young and (G)I-DLE's Miyeon. The video was styled as a modern version of the 2017 MBC variety show 'We Got Married', sparking controversy. In the idol market, collaborations between male and female artists are approached with caution. Since the market operates on the basis of pseudo-romantic feelings, creating situations that suggest romantic relationships between idol members can easily become a target of criticism.

Bae Jin-young's first mini-album 'STILL YOUNG' includes a total of five tracks, featuring the hip-hop genre title track 'Round&Round'. The album was produced with the support of Grammy-nominated producer Eric Blu2th Griggs and Grammy Award-winning composer Ninos Hanna.

Meanwhile, Bae Jin-young's first mini-album 'STILL YOUNG' will be released on various music sites at 6 PM on the 14th.
