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 fans who cheered for Kwak Tube grew more betrayed.

In the end, Kwak Tube closed the video, "There were parts I missed without thinking deeply about this video. I will think deeply so that my personal feelings do not become everyone's position. I will pay more attention to content production in the future. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you watching the video," he wrote in an apology.

Nevertheless, the aftermath was intense. The video of the school violence prevention education ministry's campaign involving Kwak Tube was closed to the public after the controversy, and there were even complaints asking Kwak Tube to reconsider his talk concert.
