With his apology, the matter will hopefully be put to rest and SF9 may continue their promotions for their comeback with “Summer Breeze” without incident.

The full translated transcript of the video clip is as follows.

Don’t be too sad, guys. I think that things that I need to be criticised for, should be. It’s something that comes with the job. It’s not something everyone will have experienced so I hope you guys can understand it with a wider heart. I will show you guys a better side of me so please understand. I turned on Instagram live for this, so I hope you guys won’t be too hurt over this. I will work harder so please cheer us on a lot. Thank you.
