Heechul Writes Apology Over Controversial Remarks + Korean Netizens' Reactions

Last Friday, Kim Heechul made headlines after openly talking about his views and opinions on various subjects while intoxicated during an Afreeca TV broadcast. The Super Junior member's use of vulgar words particularly earned criticism, with many netizens accusing his statements of having misogynistic undertones.

On February 13th, Heechul shared a public apology through Instagram, saying, "Regardless of what I think is right or wrong, I apologize for over-disposing harsh swear words and vulgar expressions and showing myself to others. I'm most sorry to the fans who got hurt by the controversy I made. Lastly, I will try not to get involved in any controversy from now on. However, no matter how much I look back, I don't think it's wrong to swear at school violence and certain sites. Thank you."


Korean netizens commented:

  • What kind of apology is this?
  • Didn't Cha Eun Woo's case become a decisive issue? Why don't you apologize to Cha Eunwoo?
  • HYBE, clean up these kids.
  • I don't want to see you on TV anymore.
