Singer Lee Mujin apologized for not participating in the recording of KBS's YouTube content 'Limousine Service' seven months ago. In the recently released 186th episode of 'Limousine Service' on the YouTube channel 'KBS Kpop,' NMIXX appeared. In the video, Lee Mujin greeted NMIXX and said, 'This cannot be left unsaid. I'm sorry. I should be bowing down, but I was strongly taught by my father about being a man, so I cannot kneel.' He looked uneasy. Lee Mujin told Gyujin, 'It's our first meeting, but I'm very happy to meet you.' He continued, 'It was something that happened in the past, but just because it’s in the past doesn’t mean it disappears. I really wanted to apologize in front of the viewers for what happened then. I thought I would try to keep the atmosphere light and fun, but the reason I was waiting for Gyujin to come was that there was a duet song I was preparing at that time, which I couldn't perform.' Gyujin responded, 'So today, I'm very happy to sing the duet song again,' and Lee Mujin expressed gratitude, saying, 'I really appreciate you saying that. I hope to release everything we couldn't do back then. I'm really sorry.' The reason Lee Mujin apologized was due to his absence from the recording scheduled for March 5 of this year. It was reported that due to a conflict between KBS and his agency One Hundred regarding EXO's Siu Min's appearance on 'Music Bank,' artists from One Hundred boycotted KBS, resulting in 'Limousine Service' being recorded without host Lee Mujin, with NMIXX's Gyujin standing alone on stage. Although the boycott period was not long, there was significant criticism over the unprecedented situation of a guest performing alone without the host. In response, Lee Mujin directly apologized to the parties involved after about seven months, resolving the situation.
