ZEROBASEONE's Son Hanbin has once again apologized for his words and actions. On the 7th, he posted a long message through the fan communication app Plus Chat, starting with, "I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my inappropriate behavior in the video released on the YouTube channel 'Kong Dehi' on the 6th." He revealed, "I needed some time to organize my thoughts and convey my feelings after this experience. During that time, I thought a lot about how much more careful I should be in my speech and actions, and how I should proceed in the future." He continued, "At that time, I used inappropriate expressions without thinking deeply due to nervousness. I had no intention at all, but I realized that my immaturity and ignorance could hurt others, and I feel embarrassed and sorry." He also stated, "I sincerely apologize again to all the ZEROSE (the name of the fans) and everyone who felt uncomfortable due to my immature behavior. I want to move forward with a greater sense of responsibility and a more mature attitude, using this incident as a turning point." Finally, he reiterated, "I want to sincerely learn, make efforts, and show the changes in my actions so as not to disappoint you." Prior to this, he appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'Kong Dehi' on the 6th with member Sok Matthew. In the video, Sok Matthew revealed an episode about Hanbin's strange sound when going over speed bumps in the car. Son Hanbin recreated the situation while making a high-pitched voice, saying, "Yummy," which led to negative reactions from some netizens who found it uncomfortable or suggestive. However, others felt it was just a joke and not worth an apology. Following the discussion, Son Hanbin apologized through the fan communication app Bubble, stating, "I went too far. I had no different intention, but I seemed to want to create more variety. If any fans felt uncomfortable, I sincerely apologize. I will work on speaking better." As a result of this discussion, the relevant scene from the YouTube channel 'Kong Dehi' was deleted. *This article is based on local media coverage.
