Dancers Honey J and Aiki Apologize for Controversial Remarks

Dancers Honey J and Aiki have issued apologies following a controversy over their use of offensive language.

On the 22nd, both Honey J and Aiki posted apologies on their respective social media accounts. Honey J expressed, "I apologize to those who were hurt by my careless words and to everyone who supports me. I have personally conveyed my apologies to the dancers of the opposing crew as soon as I became aware of the situation." She added, "I will ensure not to take any words lightly and will strive not to repeat such mistakes."

Aiki also shared her apology, stating, "I sincerely apologize to those who felt uncomfortable due to my emotionally charged expressions." She continued, "The more passionate I am about the stage, the more emotions can take over, but I have realized once again that I must be careful not to let those emotions hurt others. I will communicate with more sensitivity in any situation moving forward."

The controversy arose from a video titled 'The Loudest SWF Review in the World, World of SWF Episode 1 Reaction,' uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Today’s Hyojin' on the 21st. In the video, Honey J and Aiki, who are currently appearing on Mnet's 'World of Street Woman Fighter' (SWF), directed explicit language towards the crew 'AG SQUAD,' questioning their dance skills and using profanity, which drew criticism from netizens.

Honey J and Aiki are currently active as members of Team Beomjeop on 'SWF.'
