The agency explained the suspicion that the group P1 Harmony member Sign, who was about to debut, posted a post about racism on her Twitter account in the past.
The agency FNC Entertainment posted on the official Twitter on the 4th, "The claim that the symbol was racist is absolutely not true." "Through the growing environment of Asian people in North America, we are more sensitive to racism than anyone else, and I know it's work,” he said. He said, "One of the publishers who mentioned the issue wrote a malicious post to him as a personal feeling for his acquaintance, and after knowing that it was not true, he confirmed that he had deleted the post himself."
FNC said, "Kiho spent his school days in Canada and worked as a K-pop fan, and he ran a fan account on SNS with seven acquaintances he knew online at the time." I didn't write it,” he said. FNC apologized, "However, it is obvious that we should have taken action after recognizing that there was a problem with the account that was part of the group, and not doing so," said FNC.
He added, "I hope that facts and other misunderstandings will be resolved as soon as possible, and I ask you to watch over so that you can grow into a more mature artist."
Sign also posted an apology through FNC Entertainment's official SNS, separate from the agency's entrance statement. He said, “I would like to apologize again after acknowledging the misunderstanding and discomfort due to various issues with the Twitter account I was involved in. I posted a handwritten apology stating that it was my account, so there is no excuse for any reason.”
Recently, suspicion has been raised that on the online store, Kho-ho has consistently posted articles containing racist content and criticizing K-pop singers on Twitter in the past. Pwon Harmony, a rookie group consisting of six members of Kiyo, Theo, Jiwoong, Intak, Soul, and Jongseop, is set to debut in October.
The following is the full text of FNC's official position.
I would like to talk about the symbol of P1Harmony.
During his school days in Canada, Bao was active as a K-pop fan, and he ran a fan account on social media with seven acquaintances he met online at the time. An account known as a symbol account was co-operated by sharing passwords with friends, and this account was closed at the end of 2017. Since then, I haven't been working on social media. Symbols did not write any of the past posts that were raised due to recent problems. However, it is obviously his fault that he should have recognized that there was a problem with the account he was part of the group and took action on. We sincerely apologize to the artist and to all those who have been hurt by this incident.
The allegation that the symbol was racist is by no means true. Through the growth environment that grew up in North America as an Asian, we are more sensitive to the issue of racism than anyone else, and we know that it shouldn't be. One of the publishers who addressed the issue had written a malicious post to him out of personal feelings for his acquaintance, and after knowing that it was not true, he was confirmed that he had deleted the post himself.
All the K-pop artists who are active were role models, and he challenged the singer with respect for K-pop artists. We hope that misunderstandings that are different from the facts will be resolved as soon as possible, and we ask you to watch over us so that we can grow into a more mature artist.
