Kwak Tube released a video of his trip to Rome, Italy, with Lee Na-eun from April on the 16th. At the end of the video, Kwak Tube told Lee Na-eun "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm sensitive to school violence. I blocked you, but I was so sorry to see the explanation article later," he apologized. In response, Lee Na-eun said, `It was upsetting and sad that there were so many people who really misunderstood and blocked me.'

The controversy over Lee Na-eun mentioned by Kwak Tube is a controversy over bullying. Lee Na-eun was embroiled in allegations that she collectively bullied member Lee Hyun-joo to leave the team during her April activities. At the time, the prosecution said "It is true that Lee Hyun-joo was suffering from bullying within the group and that there were tumblers and shoe incidents during April activities."

Kwak Tube has said several times that he has been victimized by school violence in the past. As a result, the feeling of betrayal among fans who cheered for Kwak Tube increased, and Kwak Tube made the video private.

Hello, I'm Kwak Junbin.

At the time of turning the video private, there was no situation and I was afraid, so I thought I should post an apology quickly. Now I wrote to convey my heart with a more calm mind.

I sincerely apologize for causing inconvenience to many people due to the uploading and non-disclosure of the Italian video on the 16th (Mon).

After the video was closed, I regained my senses and looked for related contents as well as comments left by viewers one by one. I realize that I was ignorant and rash, and I am deeply reflecting on it.

I thought Lee Na-eun was the perpetrator of school violence and blocked her, but I felt sorry because I misunderstood her after seeing the article of the ruling. In the meantime, I got acquainted with Lee Na-eun at an accidental meeting, and I suggested traveling to Italy because I felt sorry without any other thoughts.

As a victim of school violence, as stated in many media outlets, I still have a smudge-like wound at this moment in time. The depth and trace of the wound are all different, but I was proud of myself, thinking that I could understand this problem better than anyone else because I also had wounds.

I couldn't carefully examine the part that my arrogant and misguided judgment could hurt the victim another time. I bow down and apologize to the victims who must have been hurt once again by the mention of the past. It's my fault that I have no excuse for.

I felt a lot about my shortcomings and reflected on it. In the future, I will take greater responsibility and be careful about everything so that I don't say or do anything that may hurt someone. With your interest and encouragement, I will not forget that there is Kwak Tube now and look back on myself. Once again, we bow down and apologize for causing concern over the Chuseok holiday.

Thank you for reading this long article.
