Popular group SHINee apologized following controversy arose over mention of skin color in its content video. According to News 1 on the 29th, an apology from Prism Productions, which is in charge of SHINee content, and an apology from members Key and Taemin were posted on SHINee’s official SNS (social networking service).
Prism Productions said, “In the process of recording the members’ conversations realistically, inappropriate words were included, and the part was immediately deleted following recognizing the problem. We apologize to everyone who was hurt, and we also did not think carefully regarding members Key and Taemin. “I am sorry for what I said,” he said.
Key said, “I feel that there are people who have felt uncomfortable and hurt due to my inappropriate words and actions, so I just feel sorry. I will be more careful in the future to avoid inconvenience due to my words and actions.” Taemin also said, “I will make you feel uncomfortable with my words and actions.” “We apologize for the inconvenience caused, and we will try to be more careful with our words and actions in the future.”
In a self-content entertainment program previously released on SHINee’s YouTube channel, Key and Taemin looked at Minho’s skin color and asked, “Why are you so tan? If Minho closes his eyes at night (you can’t see them),” “When I see him in the evening following playing golf, the whites of his eyes and “I can only see this,” he said.
In relation to this, overseas K-pop fandom pointed out that this was a racist remark.
