NCT's Longjun apologized for mistakenly thinking a private fan (Sasenpen: fans who follow celebrities' private lives) and publicly releasing a non-celebrity's phone number. Longjun revealed through SNS today (21st), "Yesterday, I apologize to those who were harmed by my reckless actions. I always wanted to give good energy through music and the stage, but my judgment was clouded in a moment, and I made a wrong choice." He then requested, "I apologize sincerely to those who were hurt and harmed by my reckless actions. The victims are suffering because of me. Please stop contacting the victims." He also added, "I deeply reflect on this. I will be careful not to make such reckless actions in the future and apologize again to all those who have been hurt by me." Earlier in April, he visited the hospital due to poor health and anxiety symptoms. The medical team's findings indicated the need for sufficient rest and relaxation, so he suspended activities and focused on treatment. In the midst of this, Longjun recently complained of being a victim through a fan communication platform, saying, "Private fans and scary stalkers are following my personal schedule." He publicly released the number of the person who called him, but it was revealed that the owner of the number was not a private fan, but a regular person who dialed the wrong number. In response, SM Entertainment apologized, stating, "Immediately after receiving contact that the victim visited the local police for inquiries, we conveyed our apologies through the investigating officer and took measures to delete the post."
